The New England Patriots are cheating the system, but this time it's for a good cause. Owner Robert Kraft and others utilized the Patriots' team plane to transport protective equipment from China to the US.

About 1.2 million masks have been delivered and will be used by hospitals in the greater Massachusetts and New York area. 

Yay for good things! Boo to people who are trying to bring politics into this -- I've seen it a lot on Twitter recently. Can't we just appreciate a good deed by someone during a global pandemic without bringing Trump into it? He's been in this enough. Thanks.

it's a no-go for the raiders and eli apple

The Las Vegas (this is gonna be another San Diego Chargers problem -- I'm gonna keep calling them the Oakland Raiders for at least five years) Raiders and cornerback Eli Apple were not able to agree on a deal, making him a free agent.

Raiders and former Saints’ CB Eli Apple were unable to finalize a contract, per sources, and Apple remains a free agent. Another one added to the list.
