One Dimensional Patriots Vs. Talented Dolphins

The New England Patriots have been rolling through their opponents, but that might not be the case against the Miami Dolphins. The Patriots play their second straight division matchup Thursday on a short week, and they’ll be taking on a Dolphins team that’s outscored its opponents 82-36 in its last two games. And Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is well aware of what they’ll be up against. “They’re playing great,” Brady said Tuesday. “They’ve got a lot of great players. Every time we’ve played these guys, they’ve been a challenge. We started off last year and lost to them (33-20) the first game of the year. We battled back against them in the second half of last year. They’re riding high right now, and I think they’re really getting after the quarterback.” The Dolphins got off to a bad start this season, going 1-3 in the first four games. But like the Patriots did last season, they’ve since bounced back under interim head coach Dan Campbell with blowout wins over the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans to put them at .500. They’ve been able to do it behind an offense that gets to work early and a defense that does all it can to take down the quarterback.

NHL Star Senies Woman Scandal on Jimmy Kimmel

Talk about a slap shot.
Jimmy Kimmel might have accidentally revealed Tampa Bay Lighting star Tyler Johnson to be a womanizer.
On Monday night, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” aired a street segment where they asked pedestrians, “What’s the most impressive thing you’ve ever done?”
One woman responded, “I don’t know, cheat on my boyfriend and not have him find out.”
And she didn’t stop there. When pressed on why she cheated, she admitted that it was with a famous athlete. Pressed again, she revealed his initials to be TJ, and that he played hockey for Tampa Bay. When she was asked if it was Tyler Johnson, she quickly said she had to go.
But the girl also assured that this happened with an old boyfriend — “sorry, Ben.”
The video was briefly pulled from YouTube and Hulu after Johnson was asked about the woman’s suggestion and strongly denied the connecting-the-dots implication made after her hasty retreat.
“I have no idea who she is or why what was said was said. People can talk but (that) doesn’t mean it’s true,” Johnson told the Tampa Bay Times.
