The New England Patriots kicked off the Jerod Mayo The New England Patriots kicked off the Jerod Mayo era in style with a gritty 16-10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium on Sunday. In a game that many expected would be a cakewalk for Joe Burrow and company, it was New England who walked away with a statement win, proving that even without Bill Belichick, the Pats are still a force to be reckoned with. Jacoby Brissett, starting his first game as the Patriots’ new QB1, didn’t light up the scoreboard but did just enough to get the job done. He completed 15 of 24 passes for 121 yards and, while there were no touchdowns or picks, his steady performance kept New England in control. Brissett also showed off his legs, picking up 32 yards on seven carries, keeping the Bengals’ defense on its toes. But the real star of the show? Rhamondre Stevenson. The bruising back tore through Cincinnati’s defense, racking up 120 yards on 25 carries and punching in a touchdown. His 4.8 yards per carry average kept the chains moving and took the pressure off Brissett. On the defensive side, the Patriots smothered Joe Burrow all afternoon, holding the star QB to a pedestrian 164 passing yards. Burrow, who many expected to torch the Pats’ secondary, looked out of sync all day, and his offense failed to reach the end zone. Leading the charge for New England’s defense was Keon White, who announced himself in a big way with 2.5 sacks. It wasn’t pretty, but a win’s a win, and beating the reigning AFC contenders is no small feat. New England is 1-0 and proving they’re not ready to roll over in the post-Belichick era. Next up? A home opener against the Seattle Seahawks. The Patriots won’t be favored, but after Sunday’s gutsy performance, betting against them might be a mistake. #patriots #patriotsnation #bengals #nfl #sundayfunday #newportbuzz #newengland

Former President Donald Trump has reclaimed a slim Former President Donald Trump has reclaimed a slim lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in the latest national poll, signaling a potential end to the euphoria surrounding the vice president’s candidacy. According to a New York Times/Siena College poll released Sunday, Trump stands at 48% among likely voters, narrowly edging out Harris at 47%. This close margin is well within the poll’s margin of error, indicating a razor-thin race as the November 5 election looms. This poll marks the first significant dip in Harris’s support since she officially entered the presidential race, following President Joe Biden’s exit in late July. The survey echoes similar results from a July poll conducted by the same outlets, where Trump also led Harris by a single point. As the campaign heats up, Trump’s performance is increasingly notable. Despite a rocky period post-Biden’s departure, Trump has solidified his base, while Harris struggles with voter perceptions. The poll reveals that 28% of likely voters need more information about Harris, compared to just 9% for Trump. In the run-up to their anticipated debate on Tuesday, this shift could be a game-changer. For the first time, Harris appears to be losing the momentum she once enjoyed, a trend that could dampen Democratic enthusiasm as the campaign enters its final stretch. The poll also highlights key issues driving voter decisions. On economic matters, Trump holds a solid lead, trusted more than Harris by 55% to 42%. Meanwhile, Harris fares better on abortion and democracy, leading Trump 54% to 49% on the former and 50% to 45% on the latter. The survey underscores the pivotal role of demographic shifts. Trump has made notable gains among Black and Hispanic voters, and has even closed the gap among younger voters, trailing Harris by just one point. This contrasts with Harris’s significant drop from Biden’s 2020 performance in these key demographics. #kamalaharris #donaldtrump #election2024 #potus #trumpvance #harriswalz
URI got steamrolled on Saturday, suffering a bruta URI got steamrolled on Saturday, suffering a brutal 48-0 loss at the hands of Minnesota in an afternoon thrashing. After holding their own early, the Rams (1-1) were completely worn down by the Gophers, who dominated every aspect of the game. For a brief moment, it looked like Rhody’s defense might keep them in it. The Rams kept Minnesota (1-1) in check, trailing just 3-0 after the first quarter. But that was the high point. The Gophers took control, limiting Rhode Island to a measly 19 offensive snaps in the first half while running a whopping 40 plays themselves. Minnesota’s 14-point second quarter blew the game wide open. A punishing 13-play, 83-yard drive ended with Darius Taylor punching it in from a yard out to make it 10-0 early in the second. Before halftime, the Gophers marched downfield again, capping another grueling 14-play drive with a Marcus Majors 2-yard TD run to push the lead to 17-0. The second half? All Minnesota. The Gophers came out and crushed any hope Rhody had left, eating up more than seven minutes on a 12-play, 73-yard drive. Max Brosmer hit Cristian Driver with a 6-yard TD pass to stretch the lead to 24-0, and it only got uglier from there. Minnesota tacked on three more touchdowns and a field goal in the blowout. Stats Tell the Story
The Gophers outgained the Rams 422 yards to 135, holding the ball for more than 40 minutes. Rhode Island could only muster six first downs compared to Minnesota’s 27. Brosmer was surgical, completing 24-of-30 passes for 271 yards and two scores, while the Rams’ offense sputtered all day. Linebacker A.J. Pena was a lone bright spot for Rhode Island, racking up seven tackles and Rhode Island’s first sack of the season. Meanwhile, linebacker Cole Brockwell had a career-high 13 tackles, and wide receiver Marquis Buchanan led the Rams’ offense with five catches for 64 yards. Up Next
The Rams look to rebound when they kick off CAA Football play at home against Campbell next Saturday night. #URI #urifootball #rhodeisland #rhodyrams #newportbuzz #minnesota #collegefootball
🚨 Game Day Alert! 🚨 The New England Patriots 🚨 Game Day Alert! 🚨 The New England Patriots hit the road to kick off their 2024 season against the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday at 1pm! 🏈 It’s the fourth time these two teams have opened a campaign against each other, but the first since the Pats dominated 38-24 back in 2010. But don’t count Cincy out—this matchup at Paycor Stadium could be a nail-biter! ⚡️ 👀 Flashback: The last time the Pats started a season in Cincinnati? 1972. Spoiler alert: It wasn’t pretty—Bengals won big, 31-7. Fast forward to 1994, Robert Kraft’s first win as Pats owner came in a thrilling 31-28 victory over the Bengals. 🏆 All-time series? Pats lead 17-10, winning 7 of the last 10, but Cincy squeaked out a 22-18 win last December at Gillette. Key to victory: Can the Pats revive their struggling run game with Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson? The Bengals’ Sheldon Rankins and B.J. Hill will be tough to beat on the defensive line. 🔥 Watch out for Jacoby Brissett! He’s back for his second stint as QB, but Cincinnati’s deadly pass rush duo, Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard, won’t make it easy. On the other side, Bengals QB Joe Burrow is healthy, but WR Ja’Marr Chase might miss the game due to contract issues. Could this open the door for the Pats defense? Can the Pats snap their opening day slump and grab a W? 🏟️ Time to find out! LET’S GO! 💥 #patriots #patriotsnation #bengals #nfl #sundayfunday #newportbuzz #newengland

New England’s grandiose offshore wind deal, tout New England’s grandiose offshore wind deal, touted as a green energy triumph, may turn out to be a colossal blunder. RI and Mass have just committed to 2,878 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind power in what they claim is a historic procurement. Mass is snagging the lion’s share with 2,678 MW from three projects, while RI is chipping in 200 MW. This move is supposed to power over 125,000 RI homes and 1.4 million Mass homes. But beneath the surface, the fallout could be disastrous. While state leaders celebrate this as a victory for renewable energy, opponents are raising alarms about the harmful effects these projects are having on marine ecosystems. The construction and operation of these enormous wind turbines are being linked to an alarming rise in the deaths of marine animals, including whales and dolphins. The noise and disruption caused by these offshore wind farms are wreaking havoc on the creatures that call the ocean home. Governors Dan McKee and Maura Healey are hailing this deal as a major milestone for clean energy and economic growth. However, the promises of energy independence and job creation are being overshadowed by the grim reality beneath the waves. The damage to marine life is becoming impossible to ignore and the immediate harm to marine ecosystems is too glaring to brush aside. As New England touts its latest achievement in green energy, we must ask: at what cost? The push for renewable energy could be setting a dangerous precedent, sacrificing our oceans for the sake of progress. The environmental impact of these projects paints a much darker picture than the one being paraded by state officials. Renewable energy is vital, but not if it comes at the expense of our marine ecosystems. Is this really the future of green energy, or are we taking a path that could leave irreversible damage in its wake? #windfarms #keepitgreen #rhodeisland #massachusetts #windfarm #newportbuzz #oceanconservation #greenoceans
Captain Todd Silvia, a cornerstone of the Newport Captain Todd Silvia, a cornerstone of the Newport Police Department, has retired after a distinguished 29-year and 5-month career. His departure marks the end of an era for the department and the city he served with unwavering dedication. Captain Silvia, who began his tenure with the Newport Police Department in July 1995, was a graduate of the Police Academy in June of the same year. From the outset, he immersed himself fully in every aspect of policing, serving across all shifts and neighborhoods. In 1996, he joined the Special Response Team (SRT), where his leadership and expertise soon elevated him to a supervisory role. In October 2004, Silvia transitioned to the role of Detective, where he conducted critical investigations until his promotion to Sergeant in March 2005. As a street supervisor, he played an instrumental role in mentoring new officers and managing various patrol divisions over a six-year period. April 2012 saw Silvia advance to the rank of Lieutenant, with his responsibilities shifting to the prosecution unit within the Criminal Investigation Division. His commitment to professional development was further demonstrated by his attendance at the FBI’s National Academy in Virginia in October 2015. By 2016, he had taken command of the Patrol Division, and his promotion to Captain soon followed. In November 2022, he assumed command of the Criminal Investigation Division, a role he held until his retirement. Throughout his career, Captain Silvia earned widespread recognition, including 19 letters of commendation, 10 letters of praise, and the department’s meritorious service award. His contributions have left a lasting impact on the Newport community and the police department. Captain Silvia now embarks on a new chapter with the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency! #newportpolice #newportri #newportbuzz #rhodeisland #police #firstresponder
🚨 Starting this Sunday at 9 p.m., the Rhode Isl 🚨 Starting this Sunday at 9 p.m., the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) will begin demolishing the deck of the old Washington Bridge. Gano Street, where it passes under I-195, will be closed from Sunday through Thursday nights, 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., for the next two to three weeks. During this time, expect detours via India Street, Wickenden Street, South Main Street, and South Water Street. The on-ramp to I-195 West at Gano Street will remain open. A full weekend closure of Gano Street is also planned later this fall for beam removal, with dates to be announced. RIDOT is also starting demolition on the East Providence side next week, but no immediate traffic impacts are expected. Be aware of potential lane closures on I-195 for monitoring system upgrades and routine maintenance. Stay tuned for updates and plan your routes accordingly! #washingtonbridge #rhodeisland #providenceri #eastprovidenceri #newportbuzz #ridot
@salvereginafootball kicked off its season in styl @salvereginafootball kicked off its season in style on Friday night, delivering a 28-10 drubbing of Curry College at Toppa Field, thanks to a game-changing pick-six and a ground attack that just couldn’t be stopped. Junior linebacker Marc Promutico lit up the scoreboard first with a 35-yard interception return early in the second quarter, sending the hometown crowd into a frenzy. Promutico read Curry’s quarterback like a cheap novel, snatching the pass and taking it to the house, putting the Seahawks up 7-0. The Colonels would tie it up later in the quarter with a 5-yard touchdown run from Colin Ridley, but that was about the last bit of good news Curry would get all night. Salve didn’t waste any time retaking control. Just before the half, running back Justan Luzzi bulldozed his way into the end zone for a 9-yard score, putting the Seahawks up 14-7. The third quarter? All Seahawks. Jacob Hernandez broke loose for a 47-yard touchdown run, leaving Curry defenders in the dust. A special teams blunder by Curry in the fourth—a punt that went out of bounds at their own 1-yard line—gifted Hernandez another score, this time on a one-yard plunge, putting the game completely out of reach. Curry tried to make it interesting with a 34-yard field goal, but their two interceptions and that disastrous punt were too much to overcome. “We made big plays when it counted,” said Salve head coach Kevin Gilmartin, now 10-1 in season openers. “Defense stepped up, and we capitalized on their mistakes.” Game Breakdown: * Final Score: Salve Regina 28, Curry 10 * Key Play: Promutico’s pick-six to open the scoring * Top Performers: Jacob Hernandez with two rushing TDs, Justan Luzzi racking up 94 yards On defense, linebacker Mark Sokk was a tackling machine, logging 14 stops to anchor the Seahawks’ dominant performance. Salve Regina hits the road next week for a showdown against Western New England University in Springfield, Mass. If they keep playing like this, the Seahawks look ready to make some noise this season. #salveregina #newportri #collegefootball #newportbuzz #currycollege
