Stefon Diggs jabs Vikings’ front office over ‘intent’ of Bills trade
NY Post
Stefon Diggs didn’t offer the “kindest” words to the Vikings front office when reflecting on his widely publicized trade from the team in 2020.
When speaking to reporters earlier this month in preparation for his first season with the Texans, the former Bills receiver — who was traded to Houston in April — discussed his time in Minnesota, where he began his career in 2015, and took a dig at team brass.
“Because at that point when I left Minnesota, I was a good player, but I [wanted] more for myself, I felt like I was better than that, that I could be better than that,” Diggs said, according to KHOU 11.
“And up to a point I was like, s–t, I’m gonna roll the dice and bet on myself. And they sent me to Buffalo. I don’t know if they sent me to Buffalo with the most kindest, with the most great intent, but all’s well that ends well.”
Diggs’ breakup with the Vikings was highly publicized at the time, with the wideout cryptically tweeting in March 2020, “It’s time for a new beginning,” before being dealt to Buffalo a short time later.
The 31-year-old has eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in six straight seasons, including the past four with the Bills.
Almost a year to the day after a goaltender interference call against Kyle Palmieri lost the Islanders a game against the Blue Jackets that started their season’s death spiral, they were on the wrong end of another controversial call against those same Blue Jackets that might have had the same effect.
On the Queens side of town, the reno began in earnest almost as soon as Francisco Lindor grounded into the 4-6-3 double play. That ended a 4-0 loss before a rare sizable crowd at Miami’s loanDepot Park last Sept. 27, all of them there to witness the final death rattles of an epic baseball calamity.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is being paid handsomely for his breakout season.
Next comes the harder part. Mostly because it can’t get any easier.
It was Kids Day at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, but for the Rangers, it’s been All About The Kids for months.
PORT ST. LUCIE — From the moment he was told he needed surgery on his left hamate bone, Francisco Lindor fixated on the recovery time. Trainers provided the Mets shortstop a six-week pathway to return to play, and Lindor was determined to hit every marker.
Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
Don’t close the curtain on “Mean” Joe Greene.
The Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and flooded with concerns.
