One of the biggest talking points about the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriot</a>s and the upcoming <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season centered around the quarterback position. Who’s getting the nod from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bill Belichic</a>k?



The Patriots’ offense was dreadful for the better part of the past campaign. Of course, it was far from a surprise, given that former DC Matt Patricia was in charge of offensive play-calling.



That’s why <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mac Jones</a><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a>vowed to bounce back and put an end to all the doubts about his status as QB1. And according to a report by Mark Daniels of MassLive, he’s outdueling Bailey Zappe for the starting job right now.



<h2>Mac Jones Outplays Bailey Zappe In Patriots’ Training Camp</h2>



“Jones was extremely accurate to start practice, hitting 25-straight passes before Josh Uche broke up one of his attempts on Monday,” Daniels reported.



“Overall, it was an impressive day for Jones as the Patriots offense looks to rebound after last year’s tough season. Jones went 10-for-12 in 11-on-11s on Monday,” continued Daniels. “The only two incomplete passes he threw, in team drills, on this day happened when Uche ran into Mike Gesicki to deflect one pass and when Deatrich Wise batted down another at the line of scrimmage.”



Jones has reportedly been lights out since the start of training camp, boasting his accuracy and looking way more comfortable now that he’s back with Bill O’Brien as his Offensive Coordinator:



“Jones was red hot to start the practice session. He went a perfect 21-for-21 in 7-on-7 drills,” the report continued. “Jones has been great this spring. Entering Tuesday, he’s completed 89% (62-of-70) of his passes in Patriots team drills.”



Judging by those numbers, it seems like it’s almost a lock that Jones will begin the season as QB1. Then again, he should know better than to test Belichick’s patience again.

A few months&nbsp;ago,&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady</a>&nbsp;officially announced his&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/Tom-Bradys-alleged-girlfriend-Veronika-Rajek-reacts-to-his-retirement-from-the-NFL-20230201-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">retirement from the NFL</a>. Following a very disappointing season with the&nbsp;Buccaneers, the 45-year&nbsp;old quarterback said goodbye to the game he loves. 



Tom Brady&nbsp;was selected by the&nbsp;Patriots&nbsp;with the famous 199th pick in the&nbsp;2000 NFL Draft. When&nbsp;Drew Bledsoe&nbsp;got injured, Brady received the opportunity by head coach&nbsp;Bill Belichick&nbsp;and the rest is history. Six&nbsp;Super&nbsp;Bowls&nbsp;won with&nbsp;New England&nbsp;and one more with&nbsp;Tampa&nbsp;to become the greatest player ever.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230309#CMS#0010"></div>


In an incredible turn of events, Tom Brady hinted a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Tom-Brady-returns-to-play-football-for-a-very-special-occasion-20230330-0006.html">possible return</a> to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> after an extraordinary episode with a drone. No kidding. Read here to check out the details.&nbsp;



<h2>Is Tom Brady coming out of retirement because of a drone?</h2>



In a video which is trending on social media, Tom Brady appears in a boat collaborating with MrBeast, a YouTuber who is famous for making expensive stunts. The former quarterback makes an incredible promise if he hits a flying drone. “If I hit the drone on the first try, maybe I should come out of retirement.”


 

 


Just before the long awaited moment, even his daughter Vivian tells him that he’s gonna miss for sure. Tom Brady answers with a smile: “I’ll probably will miss.” Then, once again, the legend made magic. In the first try, Brady hits it. The sequence is just amazing.



After hitting the drone, MrBeast puts him another challenge. To throw a football to one of his assistants who was in the water driving a jet ski. “Karl’s probably the worst wide receiver you’ve ever thrown to.” However, Brady puts the ball right on the money, but Karl drops it.

So, even though Tom Brady made the promise at sea, there’s no actual sign that he’ll come out of retirement. Nevertheless, the greatest player of all time at least hinted about it as a joke. In the end, anything might happen.

Kyle Walker has been one of the best defenders for Manchester City during the last years. In the 2022-2023 Champions League, Pep Guardiola trusted him to stop <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vinicius-jr">Vinicius Jr</a> in the blockbuster semifinal against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>. He did an extraordinary job.



This Saturday, Manchester City face the biggest moment in club history at Istanbul. If they hoist the European Cup in Turkey, the treble will become a reality: FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230610#BUS#8738"></div>


That’s why many people expected to see Kyle Walker in the starting lineup for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city">Manchester City</a> against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter">Inter</a>. However, in an unexpected turn of events, there are important reasons why that won’t happen.



<h2>Why is Kyle Walker not playing in Manchester City vs Inter?</h2>



This is merely a tactical decision by Pep Guardiola. After using Kyle Walker as right-back in the series against Real Madrid to guard Vinicius Jr, Inter Milan present a different type of challenge. 


 

 


Considering Simone Inzaghi will play with two center forwards such as Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez, Guardiola will go on defense with Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake. Both will accompany John Stones and Ruben Dias.



Nathan Ake suffered a hamstring injury during the quarterfinals against Bayern Munich, but, he seems to be fully recovered to play in the Champions League final. It’s a major opportunity for him to shine. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230517#BUS#1713"></div>


That’s the biggest move for Manchester City as the rest of the lineup is pretty familiar: Ederson, Manuel Akanji, John Stones, Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-rodriguez">James Rodriguez</a>&nbsp;was a star on the rise after the&nbsp;2014 World Cup&nbsp;in Brazil. He led&nbsp;Colombia&nbsp;to a historic tournament reaching the quarterfinals and, thanks to his brilliant performances, won the&nbsp;Golden Boot&nbsp;as the top scorer with six goals.&nbsp;



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>&nbsp;immediately signed him that summer to a six-year contract. During his first season, the midfielder was sensational. Then, everything started to gradually fall apart and, in 2017, he went on loan to&nbsp;Bayern Munich.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230127#CMS#0012"></div>


After three years at Germany, James Rodriguez was never the same. Though he had some flashes of his talent with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/everton">Everton</a> in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league">Premier League</a>, it just wasn’t enough. He went to Qatar with Al Rayyan and then tried Greece playing for Olympiacos. Now, a major opportunity might be in sight to revamp his career.



<h2>James Rodriguez will sign with Boca Juniors</h2>



According to a report from journalist Javier Hernandez Bonnet in Blu Radio, James Rodriguez is ready to play for Boca Juniors. The information points out that a group of entrepreneurs intends to buy the player’s rights.


 

 


Then, the idea is to send him to Boca Juniors as a mid-term project to boost again his career. If James has success in Argentina, that same group believes a transfer is still possible to Europe. He is 31-years old.



After his contract with Olympiacos expired, the Colombian midfielder is free in the market. That’s why, if his rights are bought, Boca Juniors would get him and, as Hernandez Bonnet stated, the transfer won’t have any cost for the Xeneizes. It’s a move to put him again in the spotlight with a possible three-year contract.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230607#BUS#6966"></div>


James Rodriguez already played at Argentina with Banfield from 2008 to 2010. That last year, thanks to his performances in Copa Libertadores, Porto signed him. Following that tenure in Portugal, the midfielder went to AS Monaco and became a star.

A few months&nbsp;ago,&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a> officially announced his&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/Tom-Bradys-alleged-girlfriend-Veronika-Rajek-reacts-to-his-retirement-from-the-NFL-20230201-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">retirement from the NFL</a>.

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230511#CMS#0008"></div>


Now, considering his importance as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/patrick-mahomes-reveals-his-top-5-greatest-quarterbacks-of-all-time-20230525-BUS-3769.html">best quarterback of all time</a>, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> requested him a very special mission to prevent gambling among players in the league.



<h2>Tom Brady’s message for NFL players about gambling</h2>



This has been a really complicated subject for the NFL as five players have already been punished. Quintez Cephus&nbsp;and&nbsp;C.J. Moore&nbsp;of the Detroit Lions, as well as&nbsp;Shaka Toney&nbsp;of the Washington Commanders, are&nbsp;suspended indefinitely&nbsp;through at least the conclusion of the 2023 season for betting on NFL games in the 2022 season. These players may petition for reinstatement at the conclusion of the 2023 season.


 

 


Meanwhile,&nbsp;Stanley Berryhill&nbsp;and&nbsp;Jameson Williams&nbsp;of the Detroit Lions are suspended for the team’s first&nbsp;six regular season games&nbsp;of the 2023 season. However, they can participate in all offseason and preseason activities, including preseason games.



As a consequence, according to a report from 9 News, the NFL requested Tom Brady to be part of an educational video for players in order to avoid problems with gambling. This material will be shown throughout the league facilities. If the legend speaks, the young ones might listen. 



The information points out that Brady emphasizes during the introductory part of the video how important is not to waste such a big opportunity as playing in the NFL. Furthermore, he speaks loud and clear about the negative effects of gambling as an individual and for the team.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230415#CMS#0012"></div>


Brady’s message encourage players to follow the two basic rules. They cannot gamble in games related to the NFL and they cannot gamble at any sport if they’re still at the team’s facility or traveling with the organization. In such a complicated matter for the league, the GOAT came to the rescue.

It’s been a while since the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> last had a legit superstar, and we’re not talking just about the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> field. That’s why the loss of legendary <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/jim-brown-passed-away-what-happened-to-the-nfl-legend-20230519-BUS-2431.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jim Brown </a>was such a big blow.



Brown made his presence felt outside of the gridiron as well. He was an advocate for minority rights and even a big celebrity. But he was also a great human being first and foremost.



That’s why this season could have a special meaning for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Browns-Myles-Garrett-shares-slightly-concerning-injury-update-20230419-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Myles Garrett</a> and company. Recently, the team’s stars opened up on how much Brown meant to them and the organization.



<h2>Myles Garrett, Nick Chubb Open Up On Jim Brown’s Legacy</h2>



“Jim Brown was everything here,” Garrett said. “It’s in the name. At the end of the day he was, I believe, the very first person to call me to tell me that I was coming here and that they were glad to have me be a Cleveland Brown and be a part of this organization. That still means a lot to me.“



“That’s as great as it gets, as a football player, as a man, as a spokesman for inequality for civil rights, I mean he has done it all,” the pass-rusher added. “He’s been the blueprint, he’s been the role model for a lot of us as players and as men. So we look up to him, we’re very sad about his passing, and we are still going to try and do our best for him.”



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">"Jim Brown was everything here." 🧡 <a href="https://twitter.com/Flash_Garrett?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Flash_Garrett</a> <a href="https://t.co/Rf0425egV9">pic.twitter.com/Rf0425egV9</a>— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) <a href="https://twitter.com/Browns/status/1666156752838983683?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 6, 2023</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



If that wasn’t enough praise already, Browns star Nick Chubb said that he would now have a bigger purpose to give it his best on the field, stating that he’ll play for him from now on:



“The most impactful thing is probably just stand for what you believe in. He was a strong man. He stood for a lot of things, and he was himself. I think that’s the biggest thing I take from him. Just always be true to yourself. I’m definitely playing for him from here on out,” Chubb said.



The Browns already had more than enough motivation to get the job done next season. But an extra push is always welcome, and they’ll now look to make the legendary RB proud.

The&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings">Vikings</a> won the&nbsp;NFC North&nbsp;for the first time since the 2017 season. Throughout their entire schedule,&nbsp;they became specialists in winning close games. One of the most thrilling teams to watch in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>.



Minnesota&nbsp;had a 13-4 record in the first year as head coach for&nbsp;Kevin O’Connell, but, their Super Bowl hopes ended with a shocking 31-24 against the Giants at home in the Wild Card round. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230511#CMS#0008"></div>


Now, the Vikings need to fix the missing pieces in order to compete with favorites in the NFC such as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles </a>or the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a>. The big question is if Dalvin Cook will be on that plan. 



<h2>Will Dalvin Cook be released by the Minnesota Vikings?</h2>



Dalvin Cook has been one of the best running backs in the NFL during the last years. In six seasons with Minnesota, the star player made the Pro Bowl four times. He’s also had four straight 1000-yard seasons. 


 

 


However, the Vikings have made their final decision and they will release Dalvin Cook. According to a report from Tom Pelissero, they could wait until Friday to do it just in case a possible trade is offered to them. If not, the running back will be out.



The biggest problem for the Vikings was Cook’s salary for 2023: $10.4 million. As a consequence, they decided to part ways. The move will allow the Vikings to save $9 million on the salary cap in 2023 ($5 million in dead money). 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230310#CMS#0009"></div>


In 2020, Dalvin Cook signed a five-year, $63 million contract extension. Nevertheless, in this new process for the Vikings’ front office, there was no way to retain the running back.

Everybody around the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a> — and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> — is talking about Bill Belichick and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mac Jones </a>and whether they’ll continue to be a part of the organization in the future.



They’re both under heavy scrutiny after a subpar season, and team owner Robert Kraft has made it loud and clear that he won’t tolerate another mediocre campaign in 2023.



However, even though he may not get as much of the spotlight, the key to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Bill Belichick’s</a> team offensive breakout could come from Rhamondre Stevenson, who’ll enter the year as the lead RB.



<h2>Stevenson Wants To Be A Leader</h2>



“That’s what’s being asked of me right now,” Stevenson told the Boston Herald about his new-found leadership role. “I’m trying to take that step. It’s still early, but I’m trying to take that step to be a leader.”



“Just getting in shape again, just getting my wind back,” Stevenson continued “Damien’s [Harris] out of here now so I’m kind of the guy, so just trying to make sure I’m ready for the end of the season.”



<h2>Stevenson Is Getting Ready For The Season</h2>



Likewise, he knows he’s going to be in for an expanded role in 2023. Bill Belichick has never doubted sending a player back into the dog house, so he knows he needs to back up the talk with his play:



“It’s just a long season. You just have to mentally prepare for that long season,” Stevenson added. “That’s the best thing you can do, just mentally prepare, just know that it’s a 17-game season and have to get after it.”



“I think just getting years under your belt in this league brings confidence,” Stevenson continued. “I think I’m pretty confident, just being around almost the same guys for three years, just building that chemistry is bringing us closer and play better.”



There will be no more margin for error in Foxboro. The patience is running out, and there could be plenty of changes if things don’t pan out this season, so the fans better hope Stevenson has a breakout year as expected.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/karim-benzema" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Karim Benzema</a>&nbsp;was a legend for Real Madrid. After 14 seasons, the number of titles conquered is just incredible. 5&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Champions League</a>, 4 UEFA Super Cups, 5 FIFA Club World Cups, 4 La Liga, 3 Spanish Cups and 4 Spanish Super Cups.



Benzema left the team as the second best scorer in club’s history just behind&nbsp;Cristiano Ronaldo&nbsp;(451). His 354 goals put him ahead of names such as Raul Gonzalez (323) and&nbsp;Alfredo Di Stefano&nbsp;(308). He also won the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/ballon-dor-2022-trophy-weight-size-material-and-value-20221016-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ballon d’Or</a>&nbsp;in 2022.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230601#BUS#5521"></div>


However, the French striker decided to play at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Lionel-Messi-gets-outrageous-welcome-from-PSG-fans-after-trip-to-Saudi-Arabia-20230503-0030.html">Saudi Arabia</a> with an amazing $600 million offer from Al Ittihad. In an extraordinary turn of events, a comparison with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> became viral. It made a lot of fans scratch their heads. 



<h2>Karim Benzema is almost worth the entire NFL salary cap</h2>



Believe it or not, the contract of Karim Benzema is almost worth the latest approved budget for any team in football. Let that sink in. In 2023, the NFL salary cap for a team will be $225 million.


 

 


So, in an unbelievable number, Benzema would make $215 million annually just $10 million shy of the NFL limit. By the way, the French striker’s agreement could extend up to three seasons and a total of almost $650 million.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230413#CMS#0019"></div>


Of course, this staggering comparison left many NFL fans wondering about the economic development of salaries in different sports. How is it possible that one soccer player could earn the total of an entire football roster? Just ask Karim Benzema.

Phil Mickelson is one of the biggest stars of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/Can-LIV-golfers-play-at-the-2023-Masters-20230402-0042.html">LIV golf</a>, the professional tour which has divided the sport and the public opinion. Many names followed Mickelson’s path joining the new alternative such as Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/Brooks-Koepkas-profile-Age-wife-brother-caddie-and-net-worth-20230407-0014.html">Brooks Koepka</a>. 



LIV has taken away players from the&nbsp;PGA Tour&nbsp;by offering them incredible amounts of money. As it is financed by the&nbsp;Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, the PGA simply cannot compete with the checks that have been offered to several golfers.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230217#CMS#0015"></div>


The consequence in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/golf">golf</a> has been a ‘rivalry’ between the players from LIV and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pga-tour">PGA Tour</a>. Now, after Rory McIlroy made some comments regarding the season’s schedule, Phil Mickelson went all-in. Check out the details.



<h2>LIV golf vs PGA Tour: Phil Mickelson slams Rory McIlroy</h2>



A few weeks ago, Rory McIlroy criticized the PGA Tour for not having an offseason period. The player from Northern Ireland skipped the RBC Heritage in South Carolina following a disappointing performance in the 2023 Masters at Augusta claiming he needed time to rest. 


 

 


“We’ve all been advocating for an offseason and there are certain reasons why guys want it. It’s very hard to play your best golf when you’re really thinking about your golf swing. That offseason would be nice to work on your mechanics and your fundamentals.”



When Phil Mickelson saw that video of Rory McIlroy, Lefty turned on attack-mode. “As worn out as McIlroy was after The Masters and his need for an offseason, LIV would be perfect for him. The problem is I don’t think there’s a team that wants him on it, because they would have to deal with all his bs.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230524#BUS#3586"></div>


One thing is true. LIV allows players to have more rest compared to the PGA Tour. Mickelson took notice and wrote about it on Twitter. “Love LIV or hate it, it’s the best way/Tour to be your best in the Majors. Enough events to keep you sharp, fresh and ready, yet not be worn down from too many tournaments or obligations. 14 LIV events, 34 weeks left open to prepare for the 4 majors. Fact.”

The franchise player of the Chiefs had a very special message. 



<h2>Patrick Mahomes speaks about Tom Brady’s retirement</h2>



During an interview with Complex, Patrick Mahomes talked about how is gonna be life in the NFL after Tom Brady’s retirement. The star of the Kansas City Chiefs had amazing words.


 

 


“It’s definitely going to be different. You expected his team to be there at the end of the season every year. You were striving to be better and continue to make your team better so that you were able to win that game against him. I think the NFL’s in a great place though.”



Furthermore, Mahomes admitted that Tom Brady’s resilience has served him to strive every day looking for excellence. However, he also recognized the new generation is ready to take over.

“There are great quarterbacks everywhere and everybody’s pushing to be the best. That’s what made Tom (Brady) so special. Until the day he retired, he continued to try to be the best every single day. I think that’s what you do. What it takes in order to have success in this league is to continue to try to push yourself to be better every year.”

Manchester City just got one step closer to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/can-manchester-city-still-win-the-treble-20230602-BUS-5880.html">famous treble</a>. After winning the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league">2022-2023 Premier League</a> in a thrilling race with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arsenal">Arsenal</a>, the next challenge for them was the FA Cup final.



However, Manchester United were looking for their second title of the season following their victory at the Carabao Cup. In the rebuilding process led by coach Erik ten Hag, a triumph over their archrival would have been massive. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230422#CMS#0016"></div>


So, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city">Manchester City</a> and Manchester United delivered an epic episode in their rivalry at Wembley. Now, once again, Pep Guardiola is close to glory after claiming the seventh FA Cup in club’s history. 



<h2>Manchester City are champions of the 2022-2023 FA Cup</h2>



The start of the game was just epic when Ilkay Gundogan scored after only 13 seconds. That’s right. 13 seconds! The fastest goal ever in a FA Cup final. The shot was a beauty.


 

 


Nevertheless, Manchester United answered in minute 33′ after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-when-was-the-first-time-var-was-used-at-a-fifa-world-cup-20221112-0028.html">VAR</a> determined there was a handball by Jack Grealish. Bruno Fernandez converted the penalty kick. 1-1 at halftime.



Then, Ilkay Gundogan did it again. In a masterful tactical design by Pep Guardiola, Kevin De Bruyne delivered a fantastic pass to Gundogan outside the box. The midfielder shot the ball in the air and put it next to the right post. Impossible for David de Gea. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230517#BUS#1713"></div>


The final step for Manchester City will come next Saturday at Istanbul against Inter in the Champions League final. If the Citizens conquer that trophy, they will be only the second English club in history to claim the treble. Manchester United did it in the 1998-1999 season.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/Ja-Morant-and-NBA-players-suspended-because-of-guns-20230308-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ja Morant’s </a>future should be a huge reason for concern if you’re a member of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/memphis-grizzlies" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Memphis Grizzlies’</a> organization right now. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> will likely make an example out of him.



Morant has every right to bear as many firearms as he can. But Commissioner Adam Silver made it clear that he won’t tolerate him showing them off on social media, given that he’s one of the faces of the league.



However, ESPN analyst <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/The-incredible-salaries-of-your-favorite-sports-analysts-20200515-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen A. Smith</a> isn’t even worried as Ja as a basketball player. Instead, he fears Morant might not even be alive five years from now if he doesn’t turn his life around.



<h2>Stephen A. Smith: People Fear Ja Morant Might Not Be Alive In Five Years</h2>



“People within the NBA community are not just concerned about Ja Morant playing basketball, they’re concerned whether or not he’s gonna be alive in five years because of the environments he finds himself around and the situations he finds himself confronted by,” Stephen A. told Rich Eisen. “It’s a serious matter and I think it’s something that the NBA and anybody who knows anything about the kind of things that are going on with him, needs to find themselves concerned about.”

<h2>Stephen A. Says Morant Shouldn’t Be Suspended For A Year</h2>



But as worried as he is about Morant, Stephen A. still believes he shouldn’t be suspended for a year. The league wants to make an example out of it and will likely lay the hammer on him:



“Adam Silver pretty much indicated that he knows what he’s going to do, but he doesn’t want it to be a distraction from the NBA Finals,” Smith said on his podcast. “We know it’s not good news. Because if it was good news, why not just announce it and move on with the Finals? There are some people who are saying Ja Morant should be suspended for the year.”



“Let me be very, very clear I will be the first to raise holy hell with all that I have if he is suspended for the year. I understand that he has impugned the integrity of the league, but it shouldn’t be a year. It shouldn’t even be half the season. If he ends up getting a 25-game suspension, I think that’s fair,“ he added.

</div></figure>



Whatever the case, Morant put himself in this position, so he has to deal with the consequences now. No one put a gun to his head — no pun intended, and he did get away once.

And the same goes for Bill Belichick and how dominant they were with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots.</a>



But things didn’t end well between both parties. They grew apart, up to the point where Brady wound up leaving to win another Super Bowl ring with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.



Still, now that the Patriots are set to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/tom-brady-sends-incredible-message-to-new-england-patriots-20230602-BUS-5727.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">honor him</a> in their home opener for next season, Brady admitted that he was very fortunate to play for Belichick, showering his former coach with praise.



<h2>Tom Brady Has Nothing But Love For Bill Belichick</h2>



“He very much trusted what I was out there doing in the field, and it went both ways,” Brady said. “Ultimately our success was because so many people in the organization, as coach Belichick always said, ‘do your job,’ and I did as quarterback and leader.”



Also, the legendary quarterback claimed to be quite excited about his tribute in Week 2, citing that he still has plenty of love for the city, his former teammates, and the organization.



“He thought this was something that the fans would really enjoy,” Brady said. “Obviously, I want to go back there and see the fans. See my teammates. I went back there one time, it was in an opposing uniform, which was a different type of welcoming. Although people were very polite, and I had a great experience.”



“To be able to go back there in a different frame of mind, a less competitive frame of mind, and I’m always pulling for the Patriots,” he added. “It’s been a great organization. I’ve got so many friends there still. My kids were born in Boston. I have so many incredible memories of my time there and it’s a great gesture by the organization.”



It’s nice to see that the franchise is doing right by him after all they went through. Brady and the Patriots will be tangled up forever, and it’ll be a very special moment for him and the fans.

In a surprising announcement prior to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Patrick-Mahomes-and-Chiefs-will-face-surprising-rival-in-NFL-Kickoff-2023-20230511-0023.html">NFL schedule release</a>,&nbsp;Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, confirmed the return of&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>&nbsp;to honor the legendary quarterback at home.



“I’m happy to tell you&nbsp;that I&nbsp;invited him back (Brady) to come here&nbsp;and be with us at the opening game and let the fans in New England thank him for the great service he gave us for over 20 years. It’ll be the beginning of many celebrations to honor&nbsp;Tom Brady and say thank you for what he did for us.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230330#CMS#0006"></div>


However, Tom Brady hadn’t spoken about it or confirmed if he had accepted the invitation by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a>. Now, in one of the biggest stories in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, the legendary quarterback answered with an amazing message for the team. 



<h2>Tom Brady’s special message for New England Patriots</h2>



When Robert Kraft announced the tribute, the owner was convinced it’s the perfect moment to honor the&nbsp;greatest player of all time&nbsp;in front of his beloved fans. “The NFL is over a century old and 20 percent of those years, the greatest player in the history of the game played right here in Foxborough.”


 

 


This was Tom Brady’s answer during an interview with ESPN. “It was such a kind gesture by Robert Kraft, who I’ve been in touch with since the season ended. We’ve always had a great relationship. From the moment that I stepped foot in Foxborough, I’ve cherished that opportunity, and I’ve always felt like I’ve been a member of that organization.”



Furthermore, Brady shut down any rumor about a bad relationship with Kraft after he went to play for the Buccaneers. “I know my football journey took me to Tampa for three years, which I absolutely loved. And when that ended I had an opportunity to really reconnect with Robert Kraft on a personal level.”



The tribute for Tom Brady would be on Week 2 when the New England Patriots host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday Night Football (September 17). That way, the event will be broadcast on prime-time.



“He thought this was something that the fans would really enjoy. Obviously, I want to go back there and see the fans. See my teammates. I went back there one time, it was in an opposing uniform, which was a different type of welcoming. Although people were very polite, and I had a great experience.”

Brady acknowledge it would be a very special moment for him. “To be able to go back there in a different frame of mind, a less competitive frame of mind, and I’m always pulling for the Patriots. It’s been a great organization. I’ve got so many friends there still. My kids were born in Boston. I have so many incredible memories of my time there and it’s a great gesture by the organization.”
