Latest blog entries from Boston teams across every league
Hitting is hard. I could barely do it when I was 14, playing on the freshman team in Western Massachusetts, where the talent pool isn’t full of future major leaguers. If the pitchers started throwing 97 mph with wipeout sliders and mind-bending changeups, I probably would have started writing about the game about 10 years […]
BOSTON – For the first time since 2015, the Celtics didn’t get a Christmas Day game. In hindsight, that was an undeniable mistake – even without Jayson Tatum, they hold the Eastern Conference’s third-best record and the NBA’s sixth-best net rating, powered by an MVP-caliber season from Jaylen Brown. But the scheduling oversight didn’t prevent […]
Well it has certainly been an interesting off-season, right? Who would have picked the Cardinals to pay such a large proportion of Boston’s 2026 payroll and NOT have it involve Nolan Arenado? Anyway, I’m not much of a hot-take guy (it is a good thing others are). Instead, today I go off-topic again. During the […]
The New York Jets will play their final home game of this season when they take on the New England Patriots on Sunday. The Jets have just two home wins this season, and a third on Sunday does not seem particularly likely. The Patriots at 12-3 are tied with the Seattle Seahawks for the second […]
The New England Patriots came close to dropping a second straight game in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens, but managed to erase an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter to return to the win column.

The New England Patriots are officially back in the playoffs, but work remains as they look to close out the AFC East division during the final two weeks of the regular season.

The New England Patriots’ first division rematch of the season did not go according to plan. Two weeks after their loss to the Buffalo Bills, they will get another crack at going 2-0 against one of their AFC East rivals: the team of head coach Mike Vrabel will travel to New York to take on […]

The New England Patriots have dominated their division for two decades, but have struggled to reach past levels of success over the last few years.

I have a confession: I’m a casual fan. No, not of the Celtics, silly. I think 20 years of coverage qualifies me for “die-hard” status, but that’s just me. No, I’m a casual fan of the Bruins, Red Sox, and Patriots. It has been decades since I watched a Bruins game all the way through. […]

Personally, I struggle to follow more than one sport at a time. Typically I’ll follow one sport, keep minor tabs on what else is going on, then when that sport ends I’ll move on to the next. For the past few months, that’s been football (with a break for the World Series). But football season […]

A primetime victory over the Baltimore Ravens Sunday night secured the New England Patriots their first playoff berth since 2021.

As I watched the Celtics erase a 20-point deficit to outlast the Pacers 103-95 on Monday, I found myself constantly coming back to one central thought: Luka Garza sets one heck of a screen. I typically gravitate toward guards and find myself studying the tendencies of shooters rather than post players, but there’s something about […]
