Tom Brady wasted no time scoring his first Buccaneers touchdown. The 43-year-old led Tampa Bay on a nine-play, 85-yard scoring drive, finishing it off with a 2-yard rushing touchdown on a quarterback sneak to give the Bucs an early 7-0 lead over the Saints on Sunday. Brady sneaks for the score! #GoBucs 📺: #TBvsNO on …

It appears Tom Brady’s first choice was a different NFC South team.

Sometime after 4:25 Sunday afternoon, 43-year-old Tom Brady will trot off the sideline at the Superdome, and tremors will be felt in the Tampa Bay area and as far away as Foxborough, Mass., and all across New England.

In what turned out to be their most lackluster performance since the start of the playoffs, the Islanders had circles skated around them Monday night as the Lightning took a roaring 8-2 victory in Game 1 at Rogers Place in Edmonton. Whether it was the one-day …

A home clubhouse celebration scene at Yankee Stadium Wednesday night would’ve been gauche. Also perfectly appropriate. And now that the Yankees can bid farewell to the dangerous Rays for the duration of this regular season, it’s time for a true character test: Will this 2020 group be remembered for doing anything besides validating the Rays’ …
