FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- It has been more than 21 months since Malcolm Butler picked off a Russell Wilson pass at the goal line, allowing the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl as the world wondered why Pete Carroll didnt have Wilson hand the ball off to Marshawn Lynch.On Sunday night, the teams -- and those two players -- meet again, this time in Foxborough.We all know what happened, Butler said Wednesday. It always (brings a smile) whenever I think back on it, but thats not going to help us win this game.This is bigger than me. That play will not help us Sunday night, so we have to be ready to play.It might not be about Butler, Wilson and Carroll, but you can guess how many times NBC will show the play and delve deeper into it Sunday night.In some ways, the play will overshadow another game between two good football teams. The Patriots are 7-1 with a three-game lead in the AFC East and the favorites to come out of the AFC. The Seahawks, 5-2-1 and atop the NFC West, are always a factor in the NFC.Butler was a rookie when he made that interception and is developing into one of the top cornerbacks in the league.Hes a really good player, Carroll told the New England media via conference call Wednesday. Good ballplayer. He seems really instinctive and aggressive and confident. Hes done a nice job.While Seattle is coming off a 31-25 Monday Night Football win over the Buffalo Bills that snapped the Seahawks two-game winless streak, New England is coming out of a bye week -- the Patriots still very much in the news even without playing.The Patriots are 12-4 under Bill Belichick/Tom Brady coming out of a bye.The day after their last game -- also a win over Buffalo -- the Patriots traded Pro Bowl linebacker Jamie Collins to the Cleveland Browns for a draft pick, stunning the football world with the move.Then, after a weekend of watching football on television, came Election Day, and the questions over Brady and his support for Donald Trump and a letter sent by Belichick to the then-candidate showing support.Asked Wednesday why he gave Trump permission to talk about the quarterbacks support, Brady said, Why did I give him permission? So youre assuming I gave people permission? Asked again if he did, he said, Im just going to talk about football this week.Finally, asked if he in fact supported Trump, Brady, who said he liked people or teams that win, said, Yeah, I talked to my wife; she said I cant talk about politics anymore, so I think thats a good decision made for our family.Belichick confirmed his letter.Ive received a number of inquiries relative to a note that I wrote to Donald on Monday, he said. Our friendship goes back many years and I think anybody thats spent more than five minutes with me knows Im not a political person. My comments arent politically motivated. I have a friendship and a loyalty to Donald.A couple of weeks ago, we had Secretary of State (John) Kerry in our locker room. Hes another friend of mine. I cant imagine two people with more different political views than those two, but to me friendship and loyalty is just about that. Its not about political or religious views.I write hundreds of letters and notes every month. It doesnt mean I agree with every single thing that every person thinks about politics, religion or other subjects. But I have multiple friendships that are important to me and thats what that was about. Its not about politics.Its about football. We have a huge game this week against a great football team, a great organization, and thats where it all is going forward on Seattle.Carroll, the former New England coach, said, I like coming back. I had a good time there. Its kind of fun, you guys have so much good stuff. Its kind of an honor to have a chance to play.As far as what he might have said to his players about the election, Carroll said, Weve always addressed whatevers at hand, going on around the country in all different areas and ways, to some extent. Not always in great detail, but we try to stay up with whats topical and whats current.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Tianna Bartoletta kicked off her countrys whirlwind run of medals on the night. So, by all rights, she should get to name it.Fittingly, the newly crowned Olympic long jump champion went with Awesome Hour.In a span of about 60 minutes Wednesday night, U.S. athletes hauled in a bevy of medals: Bartoletta and Brittney Reese went 1-2 in the long jump, Tori Bowie captured a bronze in the 200 and Brianna Rollins, Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin swept the medals in the 100-meter hurdles -- a feat thats never been accomplished in that event.A banner evening, for sure. The nation entered the night with 13 medals and left the track with a total of 19 -- five gold, seven silver, seven bronze.It was an awesome hour, Bartoletta said.She started things off by unseating Reese, the defending Olympic champion, in the long jump. Moments later, Bowie won her second medal in Rio by taking bronze in the 200 meters. Not long after that, the hurdlers made history. This was the seventh medals sweep by the U.S. track team in the Olympics and the 23rd for U.S. women in the history of the Summer Games.And yes, they realized what their fellow Americans were up to. Ali watched Bowie, her suitemate in Rio, bring home another medal as the hurdler waited to take the track.That fired Ali up. And then her hurdles teammates did the same thing.They smiled at me and were like, `Its time. Do your part, Ali said. I need to go out there and do my part. For Team USA, I knew it would be a great thing.dddddddddddd.How about this for an early birthday present: About an hour after the race Rollins turned 25.I tried to feed off all the positive energy from Team USA, Rollins said. We were able to come out here and fulfill our dreams. It was an amazing opportunity. I was trying to enjoy each and every moment. Im just happy to share the moment with Kristi and Nia.And to think, the evening got off on the wrong foot when Justin Gatlin surprisingly went out in the semifinals of the 200.There went a good shot at an Olympic medal. There went another showdown with Usain Bolt.An ankle injury hampered the 34-year-old Gatlin, who won a silver medal Sunday in the 100.For me, it has been an honor to be able to come out here, Gatlin said. At the end of the day, seeing all of these young guys and young ladies out here doing a great job, its an honor to be able to be a part of the team and run for my country.Earlier in the day, Evan Jager earned silver in the 3,000-meter steeplechase -- Americas first medal in that event since 1984. A hint of things to come.Every single time I saw someone on the (medal) stand, I tried not to get emotional, Castlin said. I was like, `I could get on the stand. It always feels good to see your teammates doing well.Were from all different states and universities. It feels good to come out and do a great job. ' ' '
