Monday Morning Sports Roundup: PC’s Last Minute Heartbreaks, URI’s Multiple Personalities

Taylor Heinicke was finishing his engineering degree at Old Dominion University when the Washington team signed him late this fall.

Heinicke almost upset Tom Brady…almost.

 

• Now, can the Patriots start looking around for such guy?

 

• Providence College has lost its last two games on last-second shots. The complainers are complaining.

 

• It is hard to say URI has a split personality as it seems to have a completely different personality for every game. Can they shoot free throws? Sometimes. How about shooting the 3? Maybe. All depends on who shows up.

 

• Fatts Russell is struggling to shoot the ball, but is dominating almost every game with defense, passing and rebounding — yes, rebounding. He has had 23 rebounds over the last three games. URI has Russell at 5'11." ESPN has him at 5'10."

 

• David Duke is averaging 20.2 ppg. He is making a big statement this season and clearly enjoys every minute. He could be NBA bound. 

 

Embattled President Donald Trump announced Monday he was awarding Bill Belichick the Presidential Medal of Freedom. As if the Patriots coach doesn't have enough problems.
