When Tampa Bay plays during the day in 2020, it is 6-1. So why has Brady suddenly turned into Kirk Cousins or Andy Dalton in big national spotlight games? Easy. In the battle to mesh his most successful past passing style with the principles of the Bucs’ offense, his coaches are winning out for now — and losing games they shouldn’t because of it. Bruce Arians and Byron Leftwich operate a dynamic offense with an emphasis on aggressively throwing downfield....

Brady threw for 369 yards and five touchdowns as the Buccaneers (3-1) beat the Chargers (1-3) 38-31 in Tampa. Herbert threw for 290 yards and three touchdowns in defeat.

Herbert and the Chargers impressed in the first half, jumping out to a 24-7 advantage....

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers used the final pick of the second round on Friday night’s NFL Draft to select quarterback Kyle Trask from the University of Florida. Trask has the all the attributes of a great NFL quarterback except one—he wasn’t a sexy pick coming out of college. That’s too bad for those who couldn’t see through his gritty past. Trask played high school ball at Manvel High School, which is located south and west of Houston close to where Nolan Ryan grew up playing sports in Texas....

MORE: Live Scoreboard | Recap | Best images It was the last of five straight incompletions, and seventh in eight passes on their last possession, by Brady, whose interception to Jones was lobbed far behind and short of the nearest receiver, rookie Aaron Dobson. And it happened in a driving rain that flared up late in the fourth quarter and obscured visibility throughout the final possession. The Patriots fell to 4-1, and Brady’s streak of 52 straight games with a touchdown pass ended; Drew Brees holds the record of 54 in a row, which ended last November....

The three-time NFL MVP tweeted a cartoon of himself on a ship with various cheese boats coming after him with the caption: The 45-year-old quarterback has faced the Packers seven times in his career, five of which were as a member of the New England Patriots. With the Patriots, he threw for 1,129 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions. In those games, the Patriots were 3 - 2 with him under center....

Sunday night’s game isn’t exactly a big-picture matchup in the grand scheme of the 2021 NFL season, but sometimes the league’s organic drama is too good to not pay attention to. Week 4’s Patriots vs. Buccaneers “Sunday Night Football” tilt is the purest example of that: Conquering hero Tom Brady returns to Gillette Stadium in a Buccaneers uniform, facing off against Bill Belichick, the man under whom he won six Lombardi Trophies....

She wrote: “I’m white. My parents are white. They taught me to respect law enforcement. Maybe that should be the new ’talk.'” The comment was in direct reference to debate moderator Kristen Welker asking both Pres. Donald Trump and challenger Joe Biden to speak about the “talk.” Biden answered by saying he never had to speak with his daughter about what to do when pulled over by police, but he knows that Black families often do....

Tommy Robredo advanced to the Swedish Open final with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over German rising star Alexander Zverev here. The crafty 33-year-old veteran took advantage of numerous unforced errors by the big-hitting teenager, who was playing in his second ATP Tour-level semifinal on Saturday. The 21st-ranked Robredo will seek his 13th career singles title on Sunday against unseeded Frenchman Benoit Paire, who topped Uruguay’s Pablo Cuevas 6-4, 6-3 in the other semifinal at the clay court event....

A letter sent by Tony Award Productions to those interested in purchasing tickets stated the Tony Awards, which will host its 75th annual ceremony on June 12, has a “strict no violence policy.” If an incident violating that policy occurs, “the perpetrator will be removed from the event immediately,” organizers said. The letter’s contents were initially reported Wednesday morning by Deadline and later confirmed by Newsweek. The Tony Awards’ warning comes more than three weeks after actor Will Smith walked onstage and slapped actor Chris Rock during the 94th Academy Awards....

Even though taunting has become a point of emphasis this NFL season, everyone would agree that Corrente went a little too far by throwing the flag, especially because Bears linebacker Cassius Marsh was far from any Steelers player and did nothing more than just look at the sidelines. Corrente’s game-changing call transformed a Steelers punt into another set of downs, which resulted in a field goal by the end of the drive and contributed directly to the final score, a 29-27 win by Pittsburgh....

Who he is: Jim Edmonds received just 2.5 percent of the Hall of Fame vote from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America this year, which means he can’t be considered by the writers in future elections and won’t be eligible again for Cooperstown until 2026 when the Expansion Era Committee can take up his case. The former Angels and Cardinals centerfielder never won an MVP and finished with 393 home runs, a ....

When he broke his leg racing his sprint car a year ago, an injury that sidelined him for six months, he was almost defiant in his desire to never give up his hobby. But after the death of Kevin Ward Jr., who was killed when Stewart’s car struck him as Ward walked on an upstate New York dirt track on Aug. 9, Stewart may never get back in a sprint car....

While the protections afforded by the 1973 ruling are something to celebrate, Mary Ziegler, a professor at Florida State University’s College of Law who specializes in the legal history of reproduction and the Constitution, told Newsweek, any celebrations of Roe v. Wade feel overshadowed this year by the possibility that the ruling may soon be overturned. “I think about the anniversary every year. Most years, people are looking back at what the legacy has been,” Ziegler said....

The arrival of a new baby can often lead young children in the family to act out. This is especially true in cases when an only child has to make the adjustment from being the sole focus to sharing the attentions and affections of their parents with a sibling. Maybe that’s why Kelly, the young girl featured in a video upvoted 24,000 times on Reddit, did what she did. Or maybe not....

Toko Ekambi scored his second consecutive brace in the French top-flight on Sunday, with goals in the 34th and 44th minutes.
