Latest blog entries from Boston teams across every league
Is it on TV? Yes! First pitch is at 1:05 PM on NESN. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? It’s Sonny Gray’s last start before the season starts and we officially have some cause for concern. Can he make some progress before the games count?
BOSTON — The Celtics will be without Nikola Vucevic for the 8th consecutive game when they face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night. Vucevic is expected to be re-evaluated in the next 1-2 weeks as he continues to recover. Jaylen Brown is probable to play as he deals with a left quad contusion. The rest […]
As the Seattle Seahawks enjoy the right to call themselves world champions, having handily dispatched the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl 60, they are also working on building out the roster that will defend that title on the field in 2026. With the heart of free agency now in the rear view mirror, […]
Yesterday, manager Alex Cora announced that Marcelo Mayer would be the starting second baseman for the 2026 Red Sox. Thus concludes one of the sillier spring training storylines we’ve seen in a long time. There was never really any baseball reason to suggest that either Isiah Kiner-Falefa or Andruw Monasterio would make more sense for […]
A three-goal third period and a monster performance from Jeremy Swayman powered the B’s to their most important win of the season (for now), as they beat the Red Wings 4-2 in Detroit. When the B’s went down 2-1 just four minutes into the third via an Alex DeBrincat goal, you could be forgiven for […]
What’s This Team’s Deal? This team has won one World Series since the year 2000. I haven’t looked into what happened in the hundred years before that. In 2025, after winning a three-game Wild Card series against the Red Sox, New York went down to the Toronto Blue Jays 3-games-to-1, allowing 37 runs in those […]
Minnesota Timberwolves at Boston CelticsDate: March 22nd, 2026Time: 7:00 PM CDTLocation: TD GardenTelevision Coverage: NBC, Peacock, TelemundoRadio Coverage: KFAN FM, Wolves App, iHeart Radio There’s a certain kind of loss that tells you everything you need to know about a team. Not the buzzer-beater losses. Not the “we got unlucky” losses. Not even the “their […]
The New England Patriots are right in the middle between free agency and the draft. That means that news are somewhat limited compared to what was and will be, but that there is still plenty going on in and around the league. So, with that in mind, let’s clean out the notebook on the week […]
Cowboys trade rumors: Redemption at LB still possible – Reid D. Hanson, Cowboys Wire Even though the Cowboys missed on a few options at linebacker in free agency, there are still options out there. Amidst the free agent feeding frenzy earlier in the month, there were rumors the Pittsburgh Steeler’s Patrick Queen was target. The former […]
The Jayson Tatum return has been riveting. Every shot attempt, rebound, pass, and even high-five over these first seven games has been scrutinized. The overall early returns on the Tatum comeback have been sensational; however, his performance against the Memphis Grizzlies is a good reminder that he still has a way to go before he […]
The Celtics went 4-0 since my last column, notching a solid win over the Warriors, and some uneven performances against the Wizards, Suns, and Grizzlies. The negative way of looking at this is that the C’s really shouldn’t have struggled against the Grizzlies (24-45), and probably shouldn’t have had such a hard time with the […]
at Minnesota Timberwolves (43-28) at Boston Celtics (47-23) Sunday, March 22, 2026 8:00 PM ET Regular Season Game #71, Home Game #35 TV: NBC/Peacock Radio: 98.5 The Sports Hub, KFAN, Sirius XM TD Garden The Celtics look to win their 5th straight game as they host the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is the 2nd, and final, game this season. The Wolves won the first game 119-115 in Minnesota on November 29. The Celtics won the series 2-0 last season. The Celtics are 47-23 overall all time...
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen was a top trade candidate leading up to the deadline. However, the Flyers decided to hold on to him past the deadline. While this is the case, the Flyers certainly could move him during this offseason. This is especially so when noting that he is entering the final season of his contract. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could target Ristolainen this summer. Boston Bruins The Bruins were one of the teams that were intereste...
The Red Sox parted ways with another notable international signing on Friday by releasing 19-year-old outfielder Edwin Brito. As noted by SoxProspects.com’s Andrew Parker, Brito received the third-largest bonus ($450,000) in Boston’s 2024 international signing class behind only fellow Dominican outfielder Vladimir Asencio ($1 million) and Venezuelan infielder Carlos Carrasquel ($590,000), both of whom have … Continue reading "Red Sox release another notable international signing after two seas...
It’s Saturday night friends with a big divisional game on the line between the Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings both fighting for postseason play and positioning. Per the Bruins, there are no lineup changes tonight. We’ll see Lukas Reichel back in the lineup for his second game in the Black and Gold after an […]
Herald Key reserve helps Celtics rally past zombie Grizzlies, avoid upset Globe Jaylen Brown has 30 points as Celtics rally to defeat Grizzlies 117-112 What is the best soundbite in Boston sports history? Robert Parish’s take on this Celtics group centers on teamwork and the return of a strong defensive identity Celtics survive surprising battle […]
We had a great matchup of two dominant lefties in Spring Training on Saturday, with Chris Sale facing Garrett Crochet and Sale’s former team, the Red Sox. Sale gave up two very hard-hit balls in the first at over 104 MPH each, but only allowed a walk for a single baserunner. Sale was able to […]

Robert Parish’s take on this Celtics group centers on teamwork and the return of a strong defensive identity Celtics survive surprising battle from banged-up Grizzlies, need fourth-quarter rally for victory Nikola Vucevic (broken finger) eager to again lend a hand to Celtics’ playof...
This one had me worried for much of the game. The Celtics were sleep walking for much of it. Not hitting shots and not giving normal effort on defense. Glad they finally woke up in the 4th. There weren't a lot of Grizzlies fans chatting in the forums for this one. Seems like most have given up on the season. I always love it when there are a lot of Celtics fans in away arenas. Funny how some fans loved the halftime show and others thought it cri...
The Braves have one of their final tune-ups of spring against the Red Sox and they are facing Garrett Crochet, who has had a fairly unimpressive spring. Still, the star pitcher who the Braves reportedly were interested in trading for should be a good test for the Braves’ bats. You can see the lineups here […]
An AFC East rival had a compelling Jaylen Waddle trade offer on the table at the NFL deadline that the Miami Dolphins' last regime had the restraint to reject.
From the moment I introduced myself to Shea Langeliers it was clear he was just an easy guy to talk to. Friendly, personable, and laid back, Langeliers’ manner belies the insane job description of a major league catcher. That became one focus for our interview Saturday, March 14th, starting with the newest challenge. Pun intended. […]
At this point each season, everything is fresh and new, and nearly anything seems possible. For the Red Sox infield, the mystery of what the season holds is even more intriguing because the Red Sox have an almost completely new-look infield. For the most part, the players are new to each other and to Fenway: […]

1. Escaped the Trap Game Coming into this game, the Memphis Grizzlies had 10 players listed as OUT on the injury report and were running out guys on two-way deals and 10-day contracts against a mostly healthy Boston Celtics team only missing Nikola Vucevic. This has the recipe for a gold old fashioned Trap Game […]
