Latest blog entries from Boston teams across every league
The New England Patriots called an audible on Tuesday morning. Instead of a pair of players addressing the media, as previously scheduled, head coach Mike Vrabel was to make a short statement and subsequently answer football-related questions. That presser was his first public appearance since photos of him and NFL reporter Dianna Russini at an […]
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … Adam Schefter Reveals Likely Trade Price For Patriots-A.J. Brown Deal – NESNAfter publishing his story, Schefter offered additional insight during an appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show.” “My guess is (the trade) will involve a future (first-round pick) at some point in time,” Schefter said. […]
The Boston Red Sox are something of a rollercoaster ride… It’s safe to say that watching them has been rather nauseating at points, as the peaks and valleys not only arise with each passing series, but with each game, inning, and pitch. Isiah Kiner-Falefa was the perfect encapsulation of this on Monday, as he was […]
The Philadelphia 76ers targeted Jayson Tatum early and often in Game 1 — and may have revealed that one of Boston’s old strengths is still available for another title run. Now, it’s no secret that Tatum is back and looking good. He made headlines with a dominant showing in his return to playoff basketball on […]
Last week, NBA media submitted their ballots for regular-season awards, with the late-breaking stipulation that Cade Cunningham and Luka Doncic were indeed eligible despite playing fewer than 65 games. What a stupid rule. As we hope that one goes the way of the dodo bird in short order, and as hardware starts to come out […]

The Celtics host the 76ers on Tuesday night for Game 2, two days after a 32-point Game 1 demolition. And, they’ll mostly be at full strength: only Ron Harper Jr. is on the injury report. He’s listed as probable with a right ankle sprain that he suffered earlier this month. Jayson Tatum, who made his […]
If you’re in the imaging ward at Mass General today, keep an eye out for Sonny Gray (but don’t bother him; that’s weird and lame). He’ll be getting an MRI on his hamstring today after the Sox placed him on the 15-day IL and gave his spot on the roster to Tyler Samaniego — a […]
The last two years, the New England Patriots entered the NFL Draft with relatively little intrigue surrounding them. In 2023, quarterback was the big need and Drake Maye the expected selection very much throughout the process. A year later, it was all about left tackle and in particular Will Campbell. The difference between those drafts […]
In a pregame press conference in Atlanta in late March, Joe Mazzulla said he never wanted to be asked about the Coach of the Year award again. “I don’t need it,” Mazzulla said. “I think it’s a stupid award. They shouldn’t have it. And it’s more about the players. It’s more about the work that […]
Here we go again! The Philadelphia 76ers will take the floor at TD Garden once again on Tuesday in hopes of turning things around in this first-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics — or at least make it a little more competitive. The hosting Celtics come into Game 2 with a 1-0 series lead […]
The 2025 American League Cy Young runner-up, Garrett Crochet, ranks 72nd of 73 qualified pitchers in ERA this season. Through five starts, he’s registered a 7.88 ERA in 24 innings. Over his last two starts, he’s allowed more earned runs than strikeouts, and more home runs than scoreless innings. After the worst start of his […]
Sonny Gray exited Monday’s game early with a hamstring injury. While the injury isn’t believed to be serious, Gray is spending at least 15 days on the injured list to recover. The Red Sox play 14 games over the next 15 games, so they’ll need someone to fill in. Gray’s turn in the rotation won’t […]
The past two weeks have been adventurous for the Yankees since their 8-2 start to the season. A lengthy losing skid obliterated their fledgling division lead, then a perplexing four-game set with the Angels showed their greatest strengths and greatest flaws in equal measure. Consequently, it was a relief to watch the Bombers dispose of […]
The New England Patriots offense performed above expectation in 2025, but in order to build on its success will need to show improvement in some critical areas. Very high on that list is their wide receiver group’s consistency especially when going up against man coverage. There were some notable wins throughout the year, but while […]

We’ll break down the prospects themselves, strengths and weaknesses, projected draft capital, and their fit with the Steelers. Penn State’s Olaivavega Ioane feels a lot like Oregon’s […]
Just the facts Know your enemy Game notes See ya tonight!
This video raises a question we’ve seen quite often in recent years: Could Larry Bird still dominate today? Or would be be a role player? The answer is yes, he could still run the league, and for a few reasons. First, Bird was, as Joe Dumar once said, a basketball savant. Do you think Charles […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is less than 10 days away as the New England Patriots continue the process of finishing their board. Things will look quite different for the team this draft picking 31st overall after back-to-back years selecting in the top-five. While Eliot Wolf noted the secondary is not a strength of the class, […]
The Yankees are in Boston today, as they’ll take on their archrivals for the first time in 2026. It’s just the second time the Yankees have faced a divisional foe this season, their three-game set at the Trop against the Rays this month the only AL East matchup on a slate that’s otherwise been populated […]
GAH! Where am I? Whose laptop is this? CelticsBlog? “Grant Burfeind, Staff Writer?” That can’t be right. The last thing I remember I was Googling whether my appendix would be compatible with Joel Embiid’s body and what his address is so I could mail it his way. Now…well, now I’m somewhere else entirely. I catch […]
The New England Patriots are back in Foxborough for their 2026 offseason workout program. On Monday, the first session took place at their brand-new training facility and enjoyed some exemplary attendance. Given the limited information available, a full roll call is not possible. However, material shared by the Patriots on their website and social media […]
MLB.com | Max Ralph: Your New York Yankees return to play on Tuesday at Fenway Park, visiting the Boston Red Sox in the first series between the two archrivals since the Bombers eliminated the Sox from the 2025 Postseason in the Wild Card round. Luis Gil and his 7.00 ERA in two starts will take […]
The Celtics’ Game 1 blowout was surgical. Limiting their turnovers to eight and Philly to 4-of-23 from behind the arc certainly helped, but offensively, Boston stuck to their core offensive principles en route to a 123-91 win over the 76ers. There are 2,350 square feet from midline to baseline and head coach Joe Mazzulla maximizes […]
