Morning Sports Update: Cardinals’ Calais Campbell ‘licking my chops’ to face Jimmy Garoppolo
Good morning, sports fans.
The Celtics lose in Summer League, the Cardinals’ Calais Campbell is ready for Jimmy Garoppolo, and the Supreme Court is Tom Brady’s final option in Deflategate.
Cardinals’ Calais Campbell: ‘Licking my chops’ to face Jimmy Garoppolo: “Licking my chops,” Cardinals defensive end Calais Campbell said on CBS Sports Radio’s Tiki and Tierney. “You get a rookie quarterback, pretty much, it’s always exciting when you get a guy like that for his first game because he’s going to be nervous. He’s probably going to be sitting there holding the ball a little longer or trying to get rid of it quick, throwing bad balls. As a vet, we definitely pride ourselves on welcoming (inexperienced quarterbacks) the right way.” (CBSSports.com)
What comes next for Tom Brady? With the ruling from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals rejecting Tom Brady and the NFLPA’s motion for a rehearing en banc, Brady is now left with a narrowing list of options in his effort to avoid a four-game suspension at the start of the 2016 season. (Boston.com)
Celtics reportedly are most likely trade option for Russell Westbrook: “What I’m hearing here in Las Vegas from some GMs: Not only do they think Westbrook will get traded, but that it’ll be sooner rather than later, probably before the season starts, and that the most likely destination right now would be the Boston Celtics,” Bleacher Report’s Howard Beck said.

Hearing some rumors here in Las Vegas that BOS is talking Blake Griffin again. And this time it could be a 3 way with SAC getting R. Gay.

To clarify my earlier tweet: BOS would get Griffin, LAC would get Gay and SAC would get Crowder. Other pieces also involved.

BC prospect Jimmy Vesey: Bruins are ‘definitely on my list of teams that I’d like to talk to’: “I’ve said it all along that Boston is definitely on my list of teams that I’d like to talk to. It’s a team that I’ve rooted for all my life, and it’s a team that I watched win the Stanley Cup in 2011,” said Vesey, who finished with 24 goals and 46 points in 33 games with the Crimson as a senior last season. “I’ll definitely be meeting with Boston in August.
