Latest blog entries from Boston teams across every league
Good morning! Dustin Pedroia is not going to be elected to the Hall of Fame this year. But he’d get in if Kevin Youkilis was the sole voter. Youk made an appearance on MLB Network this week and talked about his old teammate and some other interesting things, like how World Series winning teams divide […]
Over the holidays, my father told me he was going to send me a Tim Wakefield bobblehead that he found in a junk pile at his house. I didn’t have high hopes for this, given that description of its provenance, but it arrived last week, and it’s beautiful. Truly awesome. Opening it, I felt moved—by […]
After missing out in each of the last three seasons, the New England Patriots are back in the NFL playoffs. Their 14-3 regular season allowed them to punch their ticket for the first time since 2021. As a result, the team of head coach Mike Vrabel will be hosting the Los Angeles Chargers in the […]
Mike Vrabel and Jim Harbaugh are both experienced coaches in the NFL, and yet they have never squared off against one another. When the former became a head coach in 2018, the latter had already left the league to coach at his alma mater, Michigan. On Sunday, they will cross paths for a first time […]
Familiar faces will meet again Sunday night at Gillette Stadium. Between the active rosters, practice squads and reserve lists, five players in the fold for the NFL wild card have been both New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers during their careers. From Jim Harbaugh’s sideline to Mike Vrabel’s sideline, here’s a glance through the […]
The 2025-2026 Boston Celtics are exceeding even the most optimistic expectations. This season was supposed to be a retooling year and a gap year when the Celtics would finally pick inside the top-20 in the NBA Draft, maybe even quietly put their thumb on the scale and stealth-tank their way into the lottery. In hindsight, […]
Two free agents visited Gillette Stadium to begin the first week of the postseason. The New England Patriots had wide receivers Cole Burgess and Dymere Miller in for workouts on Tuesday, according to the NFL transaction wire. Burgess, 25, signed with the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent in 2024. The 6-foot-1, 198-pound wideout […]
When we’re young and we do poorly on a math test, we start to believe that we’re “bad at math.” We beat ourselves up, wonder why we’re lagging compared to our peers and internalize comments that seem harmless to others but eat at us inside. As we get older, we go to a lower-level class, […]
Well hey, guess what. We’re the easy target now. First Period Things didn’t start ideal with a penalty kill, and it became a 5-on-3, and it especially didn’t go great with Jordan Eberle getting oodles of time and space to score a goal with the man advantage. 1-0 Kraken. Mercifully, David Pastrnak is still here! […]
The New Jersey Devils hit rock bottom tonight. They got blown out 8-4 by the Colorado Avalanche on October 28. They had an epic meltdown against the Philadelphia Flyers in a 6-3 loss on November 22. They lost 4-1 to a terrible Bruins team that was missing David Pastrnak and Charlie MacAvoy on December 6. […]

Among them are the Arizona Cardinals, who have set their sights on a member of the Patriots’ coaching staff. According to a report by Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, the team has […]
Good evening, I hope everything’s going well. Here’s a random clip for you to get things going. The floor is yours:
With the Seattle Seahawks slotted in as the NFC’s number one seed, offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak can now start interviewing for head coaching jobs around the league before the Divisional Round begins. Earlier in the week it was reported that Kubiak was requested for an interview with the Atlanta Falcons. However, it is not surprising […]
A return led to a departure in Foxborough. The New England Patriots announced the release of cornerback Brandon Crossley from the practice squad on Tuesday. A corresponding move loomed after defensive tackle Jeremiah Pharms Jr. cleared waivers and officially re-signed with the 16-man group entering the playoffs. Crossley, 24, landed at Gillette Stadium as part […]
BOSTON — The Celtics (23-12) will look to make it five straight wins when they face the Denver Nuggets (24-12) on Wednesday night at 7pm at TD Garden. Boston enters the matchup relatively healthy; they’ll only be without Jayson Tatum, who continues to recover from a ruptured Achilles tendon, and Josh Minott, who is out […]

The New England Patriots may have closed the book on the 2025 regular season, but not on the lessons learned during their 17-game campaign. The stakes may be at their highest yet, but it’s still all about sticking to a tried-and-true method of preparation. For Mike Vrabel, that was a message his team needed to […]
While perusing some Baseball-Reference leaderboards this morning (as one does), I noticed a funny dichotomy in the Cubs’ per-game attendance figures from 2025. In the span of about five weeks early in the season, the Cubs played one game in front of 53,933 fans at Dodger Stadium and another game in front of just 7,482 fans at loanDepot Park, where the Marlins play. The former was one of only three Cubs games played in front of 50K+ fans this season (all against the Dodgers in LA). The lat...
