FOXBOROUGH - Keion White pushed some buttons and caused a stir by comments made in a story I wrote Friday at MassLive. Following Saturday’s blowout loss to the LA Chargers , I approached White, given Patriots coach Jerod Mayo had said prior to the game that the defensive end didn’t mean what he said in the story. White told me, and other reporters later, that he wasn’t taken out of context. His words about his play, the coaching staff and his future weren’t misrepresented. “You wrote exactly what I said,” White said. “I stand by everything I said. If people choose to read the whole article, or just read the headline, I really don’t care how anybody took it.” White acknowledged he and Mayo spoke on Friday, and hashed out the comments that were made. As Mayo also said during his pre-game hit on 98.5 the Sports Hub, White indicated they were fine, and on the same page about what’s going on. White said he wasn’t asking out or to be traded. That wasn’t his aim, he was just telling it like it is. “As long as we’re good on the inside, and me and Mayo have an understanding, I still rock by him, I’m still with him,” White said. “And me and him know what it is, and what it ain’t. People on the outside can take it any way they want to take it. It don’t matter to me.” White said in the initial story he was concerned about his play, specifically his run defense, and was trying to work out those issues with the coaching staff. Notably, he wasn’t confident those issues would be resolved before season’s end, and talked about seeing “where the cards may lie for my future.” “I stand by that. If you’re not producing in the NFL, you should get out,” White said. “If you’re not useful, not get out, but things should be changed. That’s anybody. “It’s a production based business. Whatever you gotta do in everything, me included, that’s what you gotta do. I don’t hold no ill-will towards anybody. And I know it’s a ‘what have you done for me lately’ league, and I accept that. It is what it is. I acknowledge I’m not doing good at run defense. We’re not getting pressure on the quarterback right now. That’s production.” Justin Herbert had plenty of time to pick about the Patriots defense en route to throwing three touchdown passes. He wasn’t sacked. He was barely touched. Meanwhile, the Chargers rushed for 147 yards. And speaking of change, that’s at the heart of White’s remarks. With the team now 3-13 after getting blown out 40-7, White believes something has to give. “I think, still, something gotta change,” he said. We’re losing, so obviously, we gotta change something. If you keep doing the same thing, you keep losing. “If you do the same thing over and over again without different results, or changing anything, then you’re going to get the same results.” White’s earlier remarks seemed to suggest there were internal problems with the coaching staff. The above remarks will have the same result. Asked specifically how he was with the defensive coaching staff, White once again left that door open to interpretation. “Like I said, if we keep doing the same thing ... something’s gotta change,” he said. Again, he’s not concerned if that remark stirs the pot even more. “There’s a lot of social media general mangers on the internet,” White said. “As long as I’m on the same page with my teammates, first and foremost, and every single one of my teammates doesn’t have a single problem with me, or hasn’t had a single problem with me all year. And we’re all on the same page, and we all stick by each other. That’s first and foremost what I care about. “So as long as my comments haven’t divided us, I don’t care how anybody takes it. That’s anybody that’s not in this locker room, me, coaches, anybody. You’ll can take it how you want to take it. Me and the team, they all rock with me.” More Patriots Content
The Pegula family has owned the majority share of the Buffalo Bills since 2014. During that time, the team ended a decades-long playoff drought and has created one of the toughest environments to play in across the league. Now, the Pegula's are thinking about selling their top investment. At least just a small part of it. Charles LeClaire-Imagn Image As first reported by Sports Business Journal, Terry Pegula is going to sell about a 20 percent portion of the Bills franchise. The minority sale includes multiple business executives who have struck an agreement to buy a 10.6 percent stake. Private equity firm Arctos Partners will take 10 percent as part of the deal as well. “Our focus has been on finding the right partners for our organization,” the Bills said in a statement. “The process is ongoing, and any potential investor cannot be confirmed or finalized until it is approved by the NFL.” This is not the first time an ownership group has sold a minority stake in the organization they own. Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie sold a minority stake in the team to a family that owns a technology firm just this year. Related: Bills' Win Over Chiefs ‘Extra Meaning’? As first reported by Sportico, the Bills are currently valued at around $5 billion. Pegula originally purchased the team in October 2014 for $1.4 billion. It is unclear when the league will vote on the sale of a minority stake in the Bills franchise will happen, but it does show the latest trend of owners trying to receive more cash off their massive investments of their teams going forward.

It didn't take Syracuse first-year coach Fran Brown long to figure out the key matchup for Saturday afternoon's Atlantic Coast Conference game visiting Miami. "Syracuse has a really good quarterback," Brown said of Kyle McCord, "and Miami has a really good quarterback (Cam Ward)." With a win on Saturday, the No. 6 Hurricanes (10-1, 6-1 ACC) can clinch a berth in the league championship game against SMU. Miami is a 10 1/2-point favorite for Saturday's game. Syracuse (8-3, 4-3) has reached eight wins for just the fourth time since 2002, going 8-5 in 2010 and 2012 and 10-3 in 2018. However, the Orange haven't defeated a Top-10 team since knocking off Clemson in 2017. Miami leads the nation in scoring (44.7), and the Hurricanes will count on perfect passing conditions in Syracuse's dome. That could be huge for Ward, who leads the nation with 34 touchdown passes, ranking second in passing yards (3,774) and fourth in passing efficiency. Ward's top target is wide receiver Xavier Restrepo, who needs just 21 yards to reach 1,000 for the second straight season. Restrepo also ranks tied for seventh in the nation with 10 TD receptions. Ward has some other top targets, including 6-foot-4, 245-pound tight end Elijah Arroyo, who is a walking mismatch because of his size and speed. He leads Miami with 18.5 yards per reception. Hurricanes wide receivers Isaiah Horton and Jacolby George have combined for 12 TD passes, and Sam Brown has added two more. Each of them has more than 500 receiving yards this season. Miami's running game features battering ram Damien Martinez (739 yards, 5.5 average, eight TDs); versatile Mark Fletcher Jr. (499 yards, 5.7 average, six TDs); and game-breaking freshman Jordan Lyle (361 yards, 8.6 average, four TDs). Defensively, Miami's big-play man is safety Mishael Powell, who ranks second in the ACC with five interceptions. "He's all about winning," Miami coach Mario Cristobal said of Powell. "He's a smart, self-starting team player." On special teams, Miami kicker Andres Borregales ranks second in the ACC with 97 points. He is 52-for-52 on extra points and 15-for-16 on field goals. Meanwhile, McCord ranks No. 1 in the nation in passing yards (3,946) and tied for seventh in TD passes (26). McCord, a transfer from Ohio State, has also set Syracuse's single-season record for passing yards. In last week's 31-24 win over Connecticut, McCord passed for a career-high 470 yards. However, McCord is just 46th in the nation in passing efficiency, due in part to his high total of interceptions (12). Syracuse also has three of the top six pass-catchers in the ACC in terms of yards: tight end Oronde Gadsden II (810) and wide receivers Jackson Meeks (801) and Trebor Pena (743). Gadsden, who is from the greater Miami area, has had three straight 100-yard games. He is the son of former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Oronde Gadsden. Syracuse's run game is led by LeQuint Allen, who has rushed for 819 yards, a 4.3 average and 12 TDs. The issue for Syracuse could be its defense, which ranks 13th in the ACC in points allowed (27.8). Miami's defense is fourth (22.3). Even so, Syracuse coach Brown said he's excited about this matchup. "I heard Miami is going to come deep," Brown said of Miami fans. "It's going to be intense in the stands. It's going to be intense on the field. I think this is a game everyone wants to see." --Field Level Media
