NBA Notebook: Celtics rumors crash course, Kawhi Leonard drama, and more 76ers stuff
If there were ever a time for a media literacy training session, it would be now. As the dog days of summer unfold, new rumors will be popping up every day: Some real, some fake, some surviving in a grey area in between. And unfortunately, in most cases, it's up to the consumer to decipher its legitimacy.
Red Sox strand 12, fall to Athletics as nine-game winning streak ends

Can Derrick White have a bounce-back season?
Last season, Derrick White was supposed to be one of the driving forces of the Boston Celtics' offense. In some ways, the assumption came true. His pick-and-roll presence was rock-solid. But his efficiency completely escaped him all year long.
Giardi: NFL Notebook - Two weeks into training camp, and we've got some awards to hand out
Look, he’s not exactly facing a murderer’s row during one-on-ones or team, but I like what I’ve seen of the 2025 first-rounder (4th overall).

Giardi: Brown sees a different side of Gonzalez, and it's beneficial for all involved
What’s also been evident - at least to me - is that the cornerback’s been saving that little extra something for the Patriots’ newest number one receiver, A.J. Brown. Guess what? Brown has observed the same.
Bedard: Patriots Practice Report 08.07.26 - Douglas, DeVito continue strong camps in scrimmage
Tommy DeVito completed 12 of 14 passes for 197 yds and two touchdowns to DeMario Douglas, who caught all six of his targets for 111 yards.
Simone: Jaylen Brown's first press conference since the trade left plenty of room for speculation
Thursday afternoon was the first time Jaylen Brown spoke to the media since getting traded by the Boston Celtics. He shared plenty of his own thoughts on his Twitch streams, but this was the media's first chance to probe into the situation.
Red Sox refuse to lose, walk off White Sox in 13-inning thriller for eighth straight win
At this point, what else can you say about the run the Red Sox are on?They fell behind by four runs after the third inning. They were down to their final strike in the ninth. They watched the White Sox take the lead in the 10th, 11th and 12th innings. And somehow, every single time, they found a way to answer before ultimately sending Fenway Park into a frenzy.
Final: Red Sox 12, White Sox 11 (F/13) - Durbin hits walk off single in 13th inning, Red Sox sweep White Sox
The Boston Red Sox extend their win streak to eight games in a miraculous extra-innings comeback against the Chicago White Sox.
Giardi: Despite no new deal, Gonzalez keeps showing out; plus, Boutte on what's best for him
Meanwhile, it’s hard not to watch this competition and wonder what is taking so long with the contract extension. I asked Gonzalez if he is growing frustrated that a deal hasn’t been reached despite another week having passed.
Bedard: Patriots Practice Report 08.06.26 - Defense intercepts final 3 passes as injuries start to pile up
In a session closed to the public due to the BTS concert at Gillette, Drake Maye (twice) and Tommy DeVito were intercepted on consecutive throws to end it. The situation was 1:20 to go from their own 40-yard line.
Haggerty: The NHL's best of what's left out there
There has been a lot of money thrown around this NHL offseason with the salary cap steadily rising, but thankfully the Boston Bruins have spent out the wild spending sprees for the most part. Instead, they traded for a couple of players signed to longer term deals in JJ Peterka and Will Borgen in a pretty savvy acknowledgement that one of the more valuable things moving forward is going to be useful players signed at yesterday’s market prices. Still, there will be times when the Bruins will ha...
Dillon Mitchell drama ends in two-way contract with Celtics
The Boston Celtics have signed rookie Dillon Mitchell to a two-way contract, according to the team. The signing ended a saga in which there was a real possibility that Mitchell could decide to return to St. John's for a fifth year of college basketball.
Giardi: Is Gonzalez's contract situation impacting Maye's thinking about his future deal?
As the Patriots and Christian Gonzalez continue to slog through their contract negotiations, it’s hard not to look at quarterback Drake Maye and wonder how he views that situation, especially considering he’s going to be extension-eligible next year.
Red Sox extend win streak to seven with shutout of White Sox
Behind six dominant innings from Sonny Gray and another home run from Wilyer Abreu, Boston blanked the White Sox, 4-0, Wednesday night at Fenway Park to extend its winning streak to seven games.
Bedard: Patriots Roster Road to 53, v. 26.03 - Shuffling continues as players come off PUP, padded practices stack up
The Patriots had a walkthrough today after five padded practices in a row, so this seems like a good time to take another look at our projected 53-man roster.A decent number of changes with DE Gabe Jacas, RB Terrell Jennings, and TE C.J. Dippre coming off injured lists.
Red Sox rout White Sox behind Caleb Durbin’s grand slam, Wilyer Abreu’s two homers

BSJ Live Q&A: Haggerty on NHL offseason, Bruins training camp - 2 p.m. Thursday 08.06.26

Giardi: Gabe Jacas insistent on moving forward and doing whatever's asked
He comes carrying more baggage than most rookies, and despite both wanting that baggage to end up as a mere footnote in a long and productive career in New England, Jacas’ contract makes this a story that isn’t over yet.
Bedard: Patriots Practice Report 08.04.26 - After slow start, Maye and the offense find their rhythm
When the first team sputtered out of the gate without gaining a first down in two chances as Drake Maye started 1 of 4 with an unblocked sack, it was feeling like a continuation of Monday's struggles, and I was preparing to write an unflattering report. I mean, it was not good. Maye went 10 of 11 the rest of the way.
Bedard: Patriots Practice Report 08.03.26 - First defense flexes red-zone muscle on Maye, offense indoors; Lomu struggling
A lot of situational red zone work today, where the downs and chains were pre-determined and not linked up to the previous play. Mike Vrabel wants the offense to be improved in the red zone (and the defense as well), but it was not a good day for Maye and his crew. They were just successful on 2 of their 5 drives, and one of them was via the ground. Conversely, DeVito and the second-team offense were successful on 4 of 5 drives and put two touchdowns in a drive twice.
