The NFL world was shocked to learn about reported tension between New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick Tremaine Edmunds Jersey , quarterback Tom Brady and owner Robert Kraft, and it sounds like the drama is far from being done with.According to Greg A. Bedard of the Boston Sports Journal, the three parties have not聽solved their issues, and that Belichick remains frustrated with Kraft's decisions to come in and make personnel decisions."According to multiple sources http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/josh-allen-jersey , nothing has been hashed out between the three of them, at least at this time. That could certainly change as they come off vacation and ready for the season. But sources say the more likely scenario is that things are worked out slowly during camp鈥攐r not at all.Belichick continues to be irritated that Kraft has increasingly interjected himself into areas that were largely Belichick's domain during his tenure with the Patriots. That includes the owner's deference to Brady and his role in the retention of Josh McDaniels."It's hard to envision the drama between three men, who've turned the Patriots into America's most successful sports franchise in the 21st century. Since Brady became the starting quarterback in 2001, New England has reached eight Super Bowls - winning five of them - and they've missed the playoffs only twice.But in January Dan Bailey Cowboys Jersey , ESPN's Seth Wickersham published a shocking report that outlined tension that had been building up for a while between the three parties. Details included that Brady felt like he wasn't getting enough respect from the head coach, considering all of his contributions to the franchise.On top of that, Wickersham added that Belichick wanted to make Jimmy Garoppolo the quarterback of the Patriots future. The report alleges that Brady went to Kraft, who forced Belichick to trade Garoppolo to the San Francisco 49ers for the mere return of a second-round pick. The Patriots put aside whatever drama there was to reach their third Super Bowl in four years Walter Payton Jersey , before falling to the Philadelphia Eagles, 41-33. Brady is now 41 years of age and has hinted at retirement. Some have speculated that Belichick could retire after next year (he'll be 67), or even take a head coaching position elsewhere.No team has been able to conquer adversity over the past 20 years more than the Patriots. But it's not a good sign if the three biggest names in the organization are involved in a power struggle. We'll see if they'll be able to put it behind them in 2019. The NBA has suspended Washington Wizards guard Jodie Meeks 25 games without pay for using a banned substance.
The league announced the suspension Friday, a day before Game 1 of the Wizards’ first-round playoff series against the East’s top-seeded Toronto Raptors. The NBA says Meeks tested positive for Ipamorelin Lawrence Taylor Jersey Youth , a growth hormone that’s prohibited under the league’s drug program.
Meeks’ suspension makes Washington’s signing of guard Ty Lawson just before the playoffs make more sense. Lawson replaces Meeks on the Wizards’ bench behind starting guards John Wall and Bradley Beal.
In his first season with the Wizards and ninth in the NBA, the 30-year-old Meeks averaged 6.3 points off the bench and was shooting just under 40 percent.
