New England Patriots Friday Pool Report By Lindsay Jones Pro Football Writers of America PALO ALTO, Calif. – The New England Patriots finished their on-field preparations for Super Bowl LX with a nearly 90-minute practice at Stanford Stadium. Head coach Mike Vrabel tried to keep many of the team’s typical Friday practice traditions in place while also getting his team ready for the unique situations his team will encounter on Sunday.

The 35-year-old center has played 25 games in Boston since breaking into the league in 2011.

Celtics fans, Vucevic said, seemed to appreciate him, too. “I was in a lot of rumors connected to Boston over the years,” Vucevic said Friday. “Whenever we played here, honestly, if I’d go walk in…

Stefon Diggs. Marcus Jones. Will Campbell. Robert Spillane. Carlton Davis III. I’d probably have to list several dozen others before getting to one under-the-radar assistant coach who received some extremely kind words from his boss during Monday’s Super Bowl Opening Night. “Slickback Mac has done a fantastic job with our defensive coaches,” Vrabel said during his media availability, referring to senior defensive assistant Ben McAdoo. McAdoo’s history is on the offensive…

By Sam Farmer, Los Angeles Times MILAN — Longtime pals Dan Presburger and Brad Frank are sort of Olympic weightlifters. They’re teachers from the San Fernando Valley who go to all the Olympics and lug a bunch of weights — suitcases containing tens of thousands of commemorative pins. Presburger, who retired last Friday after 35 years of teaching at El Camino Real High, brought about 15,000 pins to Italy for the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, requiring three hefty suitcases. He’ll spend the next three weeks trading them with anyone and everyone he meets on the street. He’s constantly scanning the horizon…
