My issue is the lack of pressure to have Kraft sell the franchise or at least step down.

Meanwhile Jerry Richardson waves "hi". Although he said the NFL did not pressure him to move on from the Panthers (bullshit)

Patriots receive Super Bowl rings with 422 diamonds and 20 sapphires, remind rest of NFL they're 'still here'

D8bPkRxW4AEInp9.jpg


Another year, another ring for the New England Patriots.

On Thursday night, the members of the 2018-19 Patriots were awarded their championship rings to commemorate their Super Bowl win over the Rams. It's the Patriots' sixth Super Bowl since the 2001 season, their second over the past three seasons, and their third over the past five years. By now, these Super Bowl ring ceremonies have got to feel familiar for so many of the team's players and coaches.



It's worth noting that quarterback Tom Brady became the first player to win six Super Bowls, which means he now needs both of his hands to wear all six of his rings.



Meanwhile, coach Bill Belichick is close to filling up all 10 of his fingers. The ring he received on Thursday night is his eighth Super Bowl ring. He's earned six as the coach of the Patriots and two as the defensive coordinator of the Giants.

Ex-Patriots star makes an impressive and deep run at 2019 World Series of Poker, but is eliminated

After winning three Super Bowl rings, Richard Seymour finished in 131st place while chasing a diamond bracelet

Former Patriots star Richard Seymour might be better at poker than he is at football.

After winning three Super Bowl rings in New England, Seymour was on the verge of possibly adding another piece of coveted jewelry to his personal collection: A diamond bracelet, which goes to the winner of the Main Event at the 2019 World Series of Poker.

Although Seymour came close to collecting the bracelet, he won't be taking it home after being eliminated from the tournament on Wednesday during the fifth day of action. Seymour went into the day with 2.75 million chips, but ended up losing them all to finish in 131st place. Although that might not sound impressive, it was an incredible showing by Seymour, who outlasted more than 98 percent of the field. This year's main event featured 8,569 entrants, which means that Seymour lasted longer than 8,438 other players.

Seymour's impressive finish means that he'll be taking home some serious prize money. For finishing in 131st place, the former Patriots star will be leaving Las Vegas with $59,295. (The entry fee for the main event was $10,000, so Seymour will walk away with a profit of $49,295).

Despite the fact that he didn't win, Seymour still seemed happy with the way he played.

"As a competitor, you always want to still be in it," Seymour told Poker Central after being eliminated. "You just have to try and go out and make the best decisions possible and today I had a day where I had to fold a lot of hands. I was in some pretty sick spots, I'm happy with my decisions and that's all you can do in this game. You let the cards fall where they may and it just didn't go my way."

Although Seymour was happy with his decisions, he'll likely be regretting at least one of them. At one point on Wednesday, Seymour got dealt pocket 10s on a hand where he was going up against an opponent who had 6-5 offsuit. The percentages were in Seymour's favor, but he decided to fold after his opponent went all-in following the flop.
