Patriots get primetime television spot for anticipated preseason game
The New England Patriots will face the New York Giants in a nationally televised game in Week 3 of the preseason. A listing of all of the televised 2025 preseason games was shared on social media on Thursday by NFL analyst Andrew Siciliano.
The Patriots' matchup with the Giants will be featured on Amazon Prime Video on Thursday, August 21 at 8 p.m. ET.
The Patriots and Giants have seemingly made preseason matchups a tradition. They have met 30 times, with the Giants holding a 19-11 advantage in the preseason series. They played each other at least once a year from 2005-2019. The Patriots were defeated by the Giants 23-21 in the 2022 preseason game.
There's some added intrigue to this matchup given the number of talented young stars from both teams.
The Giants have second-year wideout Malik Nabers, rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter and rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, while the Patriots have second-year quarterback Drake Maye and rookie offensive tackle Will Campbell.
Could we potentially see a tease of Campbell going head-to-head with Carter? If not in the preseason, then we could definitely see it later in the year, as the Patriots are also scheduled to meet the Giants in a regular-season Monday Night Football matchup in December.

Ex-Giants running back LeShon Johnson found guilty in largest federal dog-fighting case ever
Ex-NFLer LeShon Johnson was convicted of six felony counts related to his role in a federal dog-fighting bust earlier this year. A federal jury in Oklahoma found the former Giants running back guilty last week of violating the federal Animal Welfare Act's prohibitions against possessing, selling, transporting, and delivering animals to be used in fighting ventures, the Department of Justice announced on Monday. Johnson will be sentenced at a later date and faces a maximum penalty of five years behind bars and a fine of up to $250,000 on each count.

New York Post/Mike Norcia Authorities seized 190 dogs and Johnson has surrendered them to the government, which is pursuing forfeiture of the animals. 'This criminal profited off of the misery of innocent animals and he will face severe consequences for his vile crimes,' Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement. 'This case underscores the Department of Justice's commitment to protecting animals from abuse — 190 dogs are now safe thanks to outstanding collaborative work by our attorneys and law enforcement components.' Advertisement Johnson had been charged in March in what federal law enforcement dubbed the largest seizure of dogs ever in a federal case and had said that he had nearly 200 'pit bull-type dogs,' which were used in an 'animal fighting venture.' During the multi-day trial in Oklahoma, prosecutors presented evidence that Johnson had bred and trafficked dogs for his operation, called 'Mal Kant Kennels,' in order to fight them. 3 LeShon Johnson scoring a touchdown in 1999.

'Thanks to the hard work of our law enforcement partners, those who continue to engage in organized animal fighting and cruelty will face justice.' Johnson spent five years in the NFL and was drafted by the Packers in the 1994 draft before playing from 1995-97 with the Cardinals and playing the 1999 season with the Giants.

Patriots' Mack Hollins wore a very different kind of shirt to practice for New England
Patriots' Mack Hollins wore a very different kind of shirt to practice for New England originally appeared on The Sporting News To be clear, no one is surprised that Mack Hollins did something a bit outside of the lines. It's just what the wide receiver does, from AFC East stops in Miami and Buffalo to his latest locale, the New England Patriots. It's still notable, though. Because you haven't seen an NFL player wear a shirt like this to practice before. Hollins' top almost looked like it had been cut into a bunch of pieces. The whole abdomen area was frilly, rather than one connected shirt. Why? The shirt dries quicker and helps him keep his receiver gloves dry. MORE: Lamar Jackson wants Ravens to be an unkindness Have a look: And yes, as usual, Mack is barefoot in that media scrum. That's another one of those things he does. It works because he's an effective, high-energy receiver and sometimes-special teams player. The 31-year old signed with New England this offseason after one campaign in Buffalo. MORE: Commanders' Terry McLaurin facing 'career-ending' scenario With the Bills, Hollins caught a career-high five touchdowns to go with 31 receptions for 378 yards. This is slated to be his eighth NFL season, also including stops in Philadelphia, Vegas and Atlanta in addition to the Dolphins and Bills. Hollins should slot in as a middle-of-the-depth-chart receiver for the Pats and Drake Maye. As long as he catches touchdowns, New England won't much care what sort of antics Hollins wants to break out, because they've gotten him this far.
