"The music world has truly lost one of the greats," Thom Bells lawyer Michael Silver said in a statement.

Musician Thom Bell, whose influential soul music was covered and sampled by artists in multiple genres, has died at 79.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has attempted to pour cold water over a claim that he makes changes to game plans without informing coaches before contests.

Head coach Todd Bowles isnt stunned his Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 6-7 heading into this Sundays home game against the 9-4 Cincinnati Bengals. 

"No, we know whats going on in the meeting and we know all the tweaks," Bowles told reporters Monday.

The 49ers scored 35 unanswered points in fewer than two and a half quarters on Sunday. With 9:44 remaining in the games third period, Fox saved non-local markets by shifting its coverage to the matchup between the Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks which Carolina ultimately won 30-24.

"No, we know whats going on in the meeting and we know all the tweaks," Bowles told reporters Monday.

That’s unfortunate for whoever sat next to him on the flight home.
