New England Patriots tight Aaron Hernandez was questioned Monday by police investigating a homicide in Massachusetts, according to SI.com.

Hernandez isn't believed to be a murder suspect but a vehicle registered in his name emerged as a key piece of evidence. A body was found less than a mile from Hernandez's house in North Attleboro. SI.com reports that a source acknowledged a connection between Hernandez and the case.

SI also reported authorities were interested in searching Hernandez's home and that Hernandez has consulted with a lawyer.

The Sun Chronicle of Attleboro, Mass., reported on Tuesday that police identified a rented 2013 Chevrolet Suburban with Rhode Island license plates in connection with the possible homicide, in the town 40 miles south of Boston. The paper reported the vehicle is registered to Enterprise and investigators were hoping to analyze it for fingerprints.

There's not really a hesitation in my mind that makes me believe that he won't be back when the 15 days is up.

The 36-year-old Gleason, a former safety who played for the New Orleans Saints from 2000-06 and was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 2011, thanked "the public for their support" on the Facebook page for Team Gleason, his non-profit organization that works to help others with ALS.

"'Defend Team Gleason' now has been officially redefined. Additionally, the DJs have provided genuine apology. Received and accepted. We have all made mistakes in this life. How we learn from our mistakes is the measure of who we are," he wrote.

ATLANTA -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says the New York Mets are losers, but he loves them anyway.

During a visit to Samsel Upper Elementary School in Parlin, N.J., on Tuesday, Christie was asked by a schoolchild about his favorite sports team.

The straight-talking Christie first revealed he is a New York Knicks fan, then bluntly discussed his baseball allegiance.

Danny Green's Hot Hand

MIAMI -- After San Antonio Spurs guard Danny Green hit 66 percent of his 3-pointers through the first five games of the NBA Finals, the Miami Heat's Chris Bosh declared there will be a different look for Tuesday night's Game 6: no more open shots.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The City of San Jose is suing Major League Baseball over the Oakland Athletics' pursuit of a new ballpark in the city.

In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in federal court, the city says MLB has been dragging its feet in having owners vote on the A's proposed move to San Jose.

The lawsuit says MLB has controlled the location of teams under the "guise" of an exemption to federal antitrust law. The lawsuit is disputing that exemption.

The San Francisco Giants have objected to the A's potential move on grounds they relied on territorial rights to the San Jose-area market when the Giants built their ballpark.

All-Star Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook posted a video on the Vine social media service earlier this week to announce he no longer needs to use crutches, a big milestone in his recovery from knee surgery in late April.

In the video, Westbrook hobbles out to his pool on a crutch but then takes the crutch and mockingly slams it over his knee and tosses it into the water. Then, holding a basketball in a shooting motion, he says, "I'm back."

He was hurt in Game 2 of the Thunder's first-round series versus the Houston Rockets, which Oklahoma City eventually won in six games. He had surgery to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee on April 27.

The Los Angeles Clippers informed the Boston Celtics on Tuesday morning they are pulling out of talks to acquire Kevin Garnett and Doc Rivers, sources told ESPN.

The teams have no plans to speak again, the sources said, and the Clippers are preparing to move on and hire a coach this week.

The Boston Globe, meanwhile, tweeted that Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge confirmed that the talks between the teams had ended.

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper has been cleared to begin testing his injured knee a week after receiving a cortisone shot and a platelet-rich plasma injection into the joint, according to local media reports.

Harper, placed on the disabled list June 1 for bursitis in the left knee, will be evaluated closely as he continues his rehabilitation, which can resume with walking, jogging and other weight-bearing activities, team trainer Lee Kuntz said.

"You have to see how he reacts to the one thing before you can add the second," Kuntz said Monday. "Otherwise you're trying to cut out steps and that doesn't work. We'll do baseball activity once he's able to do other functional ground-based activities like running. Running is the key, for me."

Harper was given the injections after visiting noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews last Monday in Florida. Harper hasn't played since May 26 and had been bothered by the knee since he crashed into the outfield wall chasing a fly ball two weeks earlier.
