It takes a very specific type of person to succeed in the NBA. There can't be any doubt. Whether you're Jayson Tatum or a guy scrapping and clawing in Summer League for an opportunity, you have to believe with every fiber of your being that you belong. That's John Tonje.

BSJ Live Q&A: Simone on Celtics/NBA, 9:00 p.m. Sunday 07.19.2026
Summer League has come to an end. I head back from Vegas tomorrow afternoon, but for now, I'm still out here collecting my thoughts on the state of the Boston Celtics.
Haggerty: Projecting the Boston Bruins lineup
The opening night lineup for the Boston Bruins this coming season, with the first game now officially taking place at home on Tuesday, Sept. 29 against the New York Rangers, is going to be a bit muddled no matter what. Charlie McAvoy will be serving a six game suspension for chopping Zach Benson with his stick at the end of last spring’s first round playoff series against the Sabres, and there are still some very real questions as to which defensemen are still even going to be with the team at...
NBA Notebook: LeBron James-mania, Summer League studs, and more Portland drama

Veterans report for Patriots training camp a week from today, so it's a good time to check in on Christian Gonzalez, Gabe Jacas and how the Patriots are viewed across the league...
Giardi: The best 25 Patriots over the last 25 years - The final reveal
It is finally here. The moment you’ve all been waiting for. The big reveal, so to speak (I kid. I kid). The final name of the 25 best Patriots of the last 25 years was the biggest no-brainer in the history of Earth. Even I couldn’t screw that up.
Celtics Summer League Notebook: Hugo Gonzalez's best yet, a race for the two-ways, and more
Everyone saw the reports that the Boston Celtics refused to include Hugo Gonzalez in a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Whether those reports are entirely true -- and whether it was the right line to draw in the sand -- are now arguments of the past.

It’s interesting times for the Boston Bruins as they undergo a fairly extensive front office makeover at a crossroads point in time for the Original Six organization. Both assistant GM Evan Gold and assistant GM Jamie Langenbrunner have moved on from the B’s front office, with Gold’s exit announced in a Tuesday afternoon press release in the middle of July, after both executives were rumored to be working together as candidates to run the Vancouver Canucks.

Haggs is here to answer all the burning questions about a Bruins NHL roster that seems like it is still ripe for tinkering and a front office makeover that includes the former GM of the Buffalo Sabres joining the B's front office in an advisory role to Don Sweeney. It's an interesting change for a B's group coming off a strong year where they bounced back from the disappointment of two years ago, but remain at a key crossroads to keep building toward a bright future in a stacked Atlantic Divis...
Cardinals' Jordan Walker wins Home Run Derby, Red Sox' Willson Contreras embraces villain role in Philadelphia
Jordan Walker spoiled the party in Philadelphia, rallying past hometown favorite Kyle Schwarber to win the 2026 Home Run Derby and was the first Cardinals' player to win the event.St. Louis had produced only one previous runner-up, when Albert Pujols fell to Garret Anderson in 2003.

Giardi: The 25 best Patriots of the last 25 years - Final 3 led by Big Sey
