NFL News
Hello Union! It has been a busy few weeks in the NFL. Over the weekend, the Oakland Raiders released WR Antonio Brown, which caused some major disappointment. The New England Patriots decided to pick him up with a $15 million contract. Although Brown is an amazing player, he can be somewhat of a liability because of his personality and history. He was recently accused of sexual assault in a civil lawsuit and though Brown has denied the accusations, we will see how the lawsuit progresses.
On another note, Tom Brady, the Patriot’s star quarterback, began his 20th season with a 33 to 3 victory over the Steelers. He believes that the Pats will be unstoppable now that they have Antonio Brown. We can only hope to see a team other than the Patriots in this next Super Bowl. Don’t get me wrong, we know the Pats are a great team, but it’s a privilege to see some underdogs win once in a while.
Recently in the MLB, New York Yankees player Gary Sanchez re-strained his groin causing him to leave their second game in Detroit. This isn’t his first time with this injury. Earlier in the season he missed 16 games due to his strain. The New York Yankees manager, Aaron Boone hopes Sanchez can return before the end of the regular season.
Odell Beckham Jr. recently made some accusations towards the New York Jets’ defensive team saying that they are trained to use cheap shots to purposely injure players. Since then the defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams, has denied such allegations. However, Williams was caught on tape a couple years ago telling his players to purposely injure their opponents. So maybe he is still training and using his players to give dirty hits and cheap shots.
Next issue will touch up on more regular season news with some intel about the civil lawsuit that includes allegations against WR Antonio Brown. And I hope to get more information on a player who may seem to be making a come back, and more interesting stories. See you next time.
