Browner was selected as a first time All-Pro three times and to six consecutive Pro Bowls in nine seasons for the Vikings. He had 37 interceptions, returning three for touchdowns, and 17 forced fumbles in 138 games for the franchise.
Bill was a true trailblazer in our game, becoming one of the first Black players to play in the NHL, following pioneers such as Willie O'Ree and playing alongside fellow Capital Mike Marson.
Jazz drummer, composer and band leader Jack DeJohnette began playing drums in his school band at the age of 14. In 1969, he joined Miles Davis' band and played on the iconic album "Bitches Brew." He played with other jazz legends, including Keith Jarrett and Chet Baker. He won a Grammy Award in 2009 for his album, "Peace Time," and another in 2022 for his album, "Skyline."
At one point he made an assist while sprawled on the floor: From his end of the court, he made a one-armed throw to a teammate, who streaked coast-to-coast for a quick bucket. That season ended with an epic showdown in the NCAA championship game against Magic Johnson and Michigan State. Magic got the better of Bird in that game, but the contest had wider repercussions.
Whether it was Bill Belichick's surly repetition, Ted Williams's ageless ambition, or David Ortiz's unexpectedly poignant f-bomb, New England has enjoyed (or been subjected to) more than its share of memorable quotes in the press. With that in mind, the topic of this year's annual Boston.com March Madness-themed bracket is a simple question: What is the best soundbite in Boston sports history?
I want to give Scottie his flowers as well. It was his team for a long time. He was willing to sacrifice for the good of BI [Brandon Ingram] coming in, being himself, and look what he's done. He's still become an All-Star.
I don't want to. You can't end it better than I did last year. I had a great time last year. It was an absolute blast and honor to be on that team. I think that was the perfect way to end it. Honestly, I don't know if I would have enough in the tank to pitch for a full season again. I'm really at peace with that decision.
With its five-story living room, 200 tons of stonework, soaring redwood beams and five-foot-thick, 14-foot-high, 2,000-pound front door, the triangular temple is still spectacular. Which is not to say that the former playboy's paradise has been turned into anything resembling a traditional home.
It had been almost 20 years since the last team that won back-to-back championships, the 1968-69 Celtics, and yet there was the "calculating" Riley making his guarantee. "We're all sitting there at the Forum and he's on the damn pedestal talking and he said, 'I'm guaranteeing everyone here next year we are going to win it again.' We were just like, 'What did he just say? We're still trying to enjoy this one,'" Scott recalled, laughing.
Vinatieri is the NFL's all-time scoring leader, with 2,673 points and the record-holder for made field-goals (599). He's a four-time Super Bowl champion. Three of those rings came during his decade-long stint with the Patriots. He won the other during a later 14-year stint with the Colts. He played 24 seasons in total and nailed a number of memorable kicks along the way.
Legendary Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Devon White will headline this year's induction class into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The class will also include former national team mainstay and current St. Louis Cardinals coach Stubby Clapp, former Women's National Team star Katie Psota, and former Montreal Expos pitcher and executive Bill Stoneman. Blue Jays' World Series champion elected to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame
It's time one of the all-time greats of the Toronto Blue Jays franchise got his flowers. Carlos Delgado is a Hall of Famer, no doubt about it. But for whatever reason the voters just keep making the same mistakes and not bestowing said honor on Delgado.
