The Los Angeles Chargers are playoff-bound for a second straight season after finishing the regular season with an 11-6 record. The Chargers will travel to Foxboro to take on the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football for a chance to advance to the Divisional Round, where the team would play the Denver Broncos. The […]
Well, that’s it, folks. Seventeen games. Eighteen weeks. And somehow, a season that still leaves more questions than answers. How were the Falcons able to go toe-to-toe with teams like the New England Patriots, beat the Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills, yet stumble against squads like the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets? Why […]
Welcome back to the 2025-26 edition of Smash or Pass, in which we examine potential free agent and trade targets to determine whether the Red Sox should pursue them and what it would take to land them. Today we look at a fireballer out of the bullpen. Who is he and where does he come from? […]
Allow me to formally welcome you all to what is hands down, without a doubt, the single worst day of the entire year. That first Monday back after the holiday break. The halls are undecked, the leftovers have expired, and all we’re left with are 10-15 extra pounds and a close-up view of the dank, […]
The New York Jets will play a last-place schedule in 2026. The New England Patriots used theirs to go from worst to first in 2025, so there is hope? Anyway, as the season is over, we have the final slots for the teams New York will play in 2026. New York Jets 2026 opponents The […]
Ahead of this year’s training camp, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel explained that he was looking at his team’s performances in three distinct categories. There is the good, the bad, and, as he called it, the s—t that gets you beat. The Patriots’ 38-10 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday featured a […]

Three of the four Dodgers eligible for salary arbitration this offseason are relief pitchers, with outfielder Alex Call the outlier as the only position player in the bunch. With two years, 161 days of major league service time, Call is eligible for salary arbitration for the first time as a Super Two player. That distinction […]
Good morning! The holidays are over, it was 14 degrees in Boston this morning, and everyone is back to work. Thus begins the worst, most depressing stretch of the entire year. Can we at least get some interesting Red Sox news to hold us over? No, we can’t. But we can get unsourced rumors about […]
Good morning, Chargers fans! You know what to do! And now for today’s links. Chargers News: The Chargers will face the Patriots on Sunday Night Football in the wild card round (Chargers.com) Five takeaways from the Chargers’ regular season finale (Chargers.com) Check out all the information you need to tune in to this weekend’s playoff […]
The holidays are over and it's time to get serious. But what does that mean? For the Nats we still don't know. After the trade of Jose Ferrer for Harry Ford the Nats made two moves. 1) Traded Jake Bennett for Luis Perales. This was a "good prospect for good prospect" trade where the Red Sox looking for a certain type of pitcher, were willing to give up a good prospect of their own. Perales is arguably "more certain" than Bennett - younger, closer to the majors and both ...
Team news [Heavy] Latest Alex Bregman Rumor Increases Likelihood Diamondbacks Keep Ketel Marte – Alex Bregman could be the next infielder to come off the market. ESPN’s Buster Olney reported on First Up with Korolnek and Colaiacovo (audio courtesy of YouTuber and podcaster Robbie Hyde) that the Boston Red Sox have made an “aggressive offer” […]
Welcome back, Bulls fans. We’re back at it tonight, the first stop on a quick two-game road trip. Tonight’s challengers, the team with the third-best record in the NBA, playing without their franchise superstar, the Boston Celtics. A good old-fashioned rivalry game. Although, considering the fact that over the last decade they’ve doubled our wins head-to-head , I’m not sure rivalry still fits. Anyhoo…
Let’s talk Bulls basketball.
Before we get out our blow torch at the expense of a...
Since their Week 14 bye week, running back Rhamondre Stevenson has quietly been one of the Patriots’ best players. Quietly no more. In New England’s regular season finale, Stevenson ran wild out of the gate. The back took the second carry of the game 56 yards down the right sideline setting up a day in […]
As of this writing the Boston Red Sox, winners of four World Series championships since 2004 have not signed a single free agent for the 2026 season. They have, of course, made several trades but, but big question marks remain as we enter January, and Spring Training officially begins next month. So what better thing […]
This Boston Celtics team is a reminder that the NBA season is waves. Josh Minott opened the year as a consistent presence in the starting lineup, starting nine consecutive games, yet he hasn’t logged meaningful rotational minutes since December 12. Conversely, Luka Garza endured a 15-day stretch without seeing the floor, only to emerge as a key contributor in the rotation over […]
The Miami Dolphins ended their season the same way they started it — with a lopsided loss to their opponents. In Week One, the Indianapolis Colts took Miami to the woodshed — in Week 18, it was Drake Maye, Rhamondre Stevenson, TreVeyon Henderson and the New England Patriots who spanked Mike McDaniel’s crew by a […]
The New England Patriots won their final regular season game of the season on Sunday, beating the Miami Dolphins 38-10 to finish 14-3 on the year and clinch the No. 2 playoff seed in the AFC. They ended the game with a franchise-tying four rushing touchdowns, and pulled away in the second half before giving […]
Welcome to a new week, folks! If you’re a boring, 9-5 office worker like me, this is the week when the “eh, I’ll get to it after the holidays” rent comes due, so good luck to all of you out there. The Bruins completed the Canadian portion of their road trip over the weekend, beating […]
Heading into Saturday night, the Clippers and Celtics were 29th and 30th in pace at nearly 96 possessions per game. For LA, fewer possessions make sense for their older roster. With 36-year-old James Harden and 34-year-old Kawhi Leonard, all attempts to limit their wear-and-tear are surely welcome. Paradoxically for the Celtics, the slower “pace” is […]
The New England Patriots have their sights on their upcoming return to the NFL playoffs. However, the final week of the 2025 regular season did more than just set up their wild card matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers: it also finalized their opponents for the 2026 regular season. The Patriots will be playing eight […]
Jordan Walsh has been having an outstanding year for the Boston Celtics, breaking out as a legitimate two-way threat. After two seasons of DNPs and garbage time minutes, Walsh is now averaging 7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1 steal per game while shooting 58.5% from the floor and 47.3% from three. The numbers don’t even […]
The Miami Dolphins season is officially over after their week 18 loss to the New England Patriots. Now begins a busy offseason for the Dolphins as they embark on their general manager search. We should hear more about that search starting tomorrow and we should have a better understanding of Mike McDaniel’s future with the […]
The New England Patriots entered their regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins with a slim chance of ending up as the No. 1 playoff seed in the AFC. Despite a 38-10 victory, that did not materialize: the Patriots will enter the tournament as the second-seeded team in their conference. This, in turn, sets them […]
The New England Patriots ended the regular season in the win column on Sunday. Hosting the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium, they celebrated a 38-10 victory. Here is who caught our eye for better or worse upon live-viewing the Patriots’ 14th win of the season. Winners RB Rhamondre Stevenson: Stevenson set the tone out of […]
