Haggerty: Bruins Youth Movement hits pause in Dallas loss
The Bruins are unabashedly in a youth movement this season as they push youngsters like 19-year-old James Hagens, 22-year-old Fraser Minten, 22-year-old Matt Poitras, 23-year-old Frederic Brunet, 24-year-old JJ Peterka and 24-year-old Marat Khusnutdinov into prominent roles in the Boston lineup.
Simone: Celtics connecting mistakes turned into a Pistons avalanche
Going cold would be an understatement. A wild understatement, at that. At one point in the second half, the Detroit Pistons went on a 23-0 run. The Boston Celtics had no answers.
BSJ Game Report: Pistons 121, Celtics 113 - A second-half collapse
At first, it looked like it was going to be a close game. The Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons were neck and neck. Then, the Celtics pulled ahead thanks to Paul George. Then the tide turned.

Haggerty: Sturm making bold move with Zadorov scratch
It’s absolutely a delicate tightrope with a menacing, bullying player like Nikita Zadorov when balancing emotional, physical play with the necessary discipline needed to be effective while playing that style. It’s something that Zadorov is clearly well-versed in after suiting up for 13 years and over 800 games while also racking up over 1,000 career penalty minutes during that NHL time for the 31-year-old defenseman.
FINAL: Pistons 121, Celtics 113 - Detroit turned the tide
The preseason was a perfect appetizer. A chance to dip your toes back into basketball. But now, it's time to dive into the deep end. Basketball is fully back.
Giardi: Mike's Musings on Maye making the offense go in win over Jets; plus, the kids are alright
We’re back to the nitpicking part of the program with Drake Maye.
Derrick White helps spearhead Celtics' Curbside Care event
For Derrick White, it’s always been a no-brainer. He’s been a Curbside Care constant for years now. So, when the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation, Tufts Health Plan (a Point23Health company), and Boston Medical Center hosted the event this year, he was there.
Predicting the 2026-27 Celtics: Proving themselves right, crucial depth, and rotation outsiders
Every outlet you can name is putting out season predictions right now. What are this team's biggest strengths? Weaknesses? Will they make the playoffs? The conference finals? The NBA Finals? All that and more.
Bedard: 5 key plays to a victory - Doubs and Douglas touchdowns; Spillane-Ponder sack; big Maye throws to Williams, Raridon
Breaking down five key plays from the Patriots' victory over the Jets through video analysis, including Drake Maye's touchdown throws to Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas, the combo sack from Robert Spillane and Elijah Ponder that prevented a touchdown to tie the game, and two key throws from Maye to Kyle Williams and Eli Raridon.
Giardi: Vrabel's culture critical in allowing Patriots to survive rash of injuries; Doubs to IR
Who would have guessed the Pats had the depth to survive such issues? Vrabel sounded the alarm after their preseason game against the Eagles.
Bedard: Sorry, Mike Vrabel, there was no luck involved in Patriots' win over Jets
While I was on Team Vrabel after the blowout of the Raiders, I'm going to part with him after this one. Yeah, it wasn't a Picasso, but I liked this victory and thought there was a lot of good stuff in between A.J. Brown drops and trips to the blue injury tent.
Podcasts: Bedard on Patriots' win over the Jets, injury situation with 98.5 The SportsHub & CLNS
The guys break down another solid day for Drake Maye, who finished 18/32, throwing for 235 yards and three touchdowns. They also discuss A.J. Brown's struggles in his return from a high ankle sprain, as well as all the injury problems facing the Patriots after losing Morgan Moses, Romeo Doubs, Ben Brown, Alijah Vera-Tucker, and Dre'Mont Jones today.
Giardi: A maturing Maye helps the Patriots’ offense overcome several issues in win over Jets
Offensively, Drake Maye played a massive role in willing the Patriots through. The 24-year-old is growing up right before our eyes.
BSJ Game Report: Patriots 26, Jets 19 - New England does enough vs. pesky Jets, Vrabel not happy
"I just know that you have to be able to continue to improve, and I don't feel like we did. We won, which is the most important thing. I don't think we improved from what we had shown the previous two weeks, and I have to figure out why."
Simone: Balance is the word of the season for the Celtics
The season is finally here. Perhaps one of the most anticipated Boston Celtics seasons in a while. But not for the same reasons as in the past.
FINAL: Patriots 26, Jets 19 - Despite OL injuries, Brown's drops, NE wins third straight
The Jets (who will spin the dial with their coverages) would prefer to play two shell all day long and make Maye throw to the middle of the field, where he's less sure of himself. If the Patriots' run game can pull the Jets out of two deep, Maye will have 1-on-1s on the outside.
Bedard: There are some promising numbers for Drake Maye - including the close of this year's schedule
Maye's completion percentage over expected as a) WAY better than Stafford and Allen against the bottom half, and b) better than both against the top half. That shows elite accuracy against everyone.
NBA Notebook: New Celtics defense, Spanish inquisition, and Seattle's latest scare
After the Boston Celtics' preseason contest against the Charlotte Hornets, I wrote a column about the defense. About how the Celtics are going to be employing a new style this season.
MLB Notebook: Could Red Sox trade Trevor Story? Weak shortstop market creates intriguing possibilities
The Red Sox enter the offseason coming off back-to-back postseason eliminations at the hands of the Yankees in the American League Wild Card Series. While Boston took another step forward by reaching October for the second consecutive season, let’s not forget just how atrocious this team was during the first two months of the year.
NHL Notes: The win was worth the wait for B's, DiPietro
Perseverance and persistence are two things that are very often rewarded within the game of hockey. The Bruins have one of those stories within their midst this season as 27-year-old rookie Mikey DiPietro has won a regular backup goalie role on an NHL team for the first time in his career after stops in three different AHL destinations – and some time in the good, old ECHL for the Maine Mariners – since being drafted by the Vancouver Canucks back in the third round of the 2017 NHL Draft.

According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Boston Celtics have signed Devin Carter to a two-way contract. He spent training camp on an Exhibit 10 deal with the team.
Giardi: NFL Notebook - Patriots assistant has helped turn a weakness into a strength; plus, from bad to worse for Philly
How have the Patriots turned what looked like weakness on paper into a strength? They have a secret weapon.
Simone: Preseason is for learning, but you can't learn much
Friday night was odd. It almost felt like the Boston Celtics were playing games with the Philadelphia 76ers. Getting in their heads. But the Sixers did the same in Boston.
BSJ Game Report: Celtics 125, 76ers 120 - An undefeated preseason
In their fourth and final preseason game, the Boston Celtics traveled south to take on the Philadelphia 76ers. But the starting lineups looked weird. Very weird.
