Stephon Gilmore Seems Open To Potential New England Patriots Return
Stephon Gilmore is one of the best players remaining on the free-agent market, and he could be angling to reunite with the New England Patriots. When asked by Barstool Sports if he would consider a return to the Patriots, Gilmore left the door open. Gilmore spent parts of five seasons in New England between 2017 and 2021 and enjoyed the best stretch of his career with the Pats. During that time, he made three trips to the Pro Bowl, earned a couple of First-Team All-Pro selections and, most impo…

Scientists have shown that stopping carbon dioxide emissions could prevent global warming from getting worse.

Technologies like solar and wind power, electric vehicles, and advanced batteries can replace fossil fuels an…
