Latest blog entries from Boston teams across every league
An argument that has been made ad nauseum to undercut the Chicago Bears’ 2025 success was their seemingly easy strength of schedule. At the end of the 2025 season, the Bears finished with the 4th-easiest strength of schedule, based on opponent records, with a 0.458 win percentage. This ranked behind the Cowboys, Broncos, and Patriots […]
With the condensed schedule of the NBA playoffs and the quick turnaround for the Philadelphia 76ers after their seven-game series with the Boston Celtics, it was frequently wondered if Joel Embiid was going to be able to make it through a series that would play as many as seven games in 15 days. Well, just […]
You all know that the Cubs struggled for the first 16 games of 2026, going 7-9. Since then it’s been almost all winning — 10 straight, then three losses, and now entering Wednesday night’s game against the Reds on a seven-game winning streak (and also 13 consecutive wins at Wrigley Field). I decided to see […]
The calendar has flipped to May, which means we aren’t allowed to say “it’s still only April!” any longer. That’s fairly obvious when one actually reads the calendar, but by this point in the season, some of the things that are happening on the field may actually be how the season is going to happen […]
If Jaylen Brown ever comes available in the trade market, the Hawks would have plenty of reason to at least pick up the phone.
BOSTON — Three days after the Celtics’ early playoff elimination, Brad Stevens sat down in front of the media for his longest press conference of the year, touching on a slew of questions ranging from the team’s offensive play style, reports that Jaylen Brown is unhappy with the organization, Jayson Tatum’s Game 7 sidelining, and […]
After already being eliminated from the playoffs, the Miami Dolphins traveled to Foxboro last January for the regular-season finale. Miami hoped to end a challenging season on a high note against the Patriots. But after just one play, linebacker K.J. Britt knew that would be a tall task. “I remember last year playing them — […]
Worcester: W, 7-6 (BOX SCORE) The WooSox enjoyed an early home run from Mickey Gasper, his fifth on the year, but the good feelings didn’t last for too long against the Rail Riders (Yankees AAA). As referenced earlier, the WooSox are going to be pre-cautiously switching out their pitchers to rest arms in case the […]
The Aug. 31 'Heated Rivalry' promotion at Fenway Park celebrates a show featuring pro male pro athletes having a lot of sex with each other.
There is no such thing as a Joel Embiid stopper. That feels like a decent place to start, because if the Celtics spend the summer trying to find one, they’ll be chasing the wrong thing. Embiid is a former MVP for a reason. When he’s healthy, comfortable and getting to his spots, there are only […]
Make no mistake, the Sixers coming back from 3-1 down in their first-round series against the Celtics is by far their biggest playoff achievement in the last 25 years. It’s no surprise that the comeback was fueled by the return of Joel Embiid. The former MVP became the first player in NBA history to score […]
The good times kept rolling for the Yankees on Tuesday night, as they came from behind to beat Jacob deGrom on behalf of since-demoted rookie Elmer Rodríguez. They’ve won 15 of their last 17 games and would almost be running away with the AL East already if the Rays weren’t off to a scalding-hot start […]
After the Boston Celtics’ second straight early exit from the playoffs, the topic of roster changes is inevitable. Fans like you and I can be pretty emotional in the aftermath of disappointment. Brad Stevens, however, seems to be a lot more level headed. But that doesn’t mean he won’t consider all the options before him. […]
Good morning! The Red Sox lineup absolutely rolled one of the best pitchers in the game last night, roughing up Framber Valdez so thoroughly that he got himself intentionally thrown out of the game. But was Valdez mad at his sub-par performance, or was he mad at something else? Last week, ESPN’s Buster Olney speculated […]
Well, friends, we certainly don’t need to talk about last night’s game against the Red Sox, but we also don’t have much good news to share in today’s news brief either. The Tigers reported on Monday that Tarik Skubal would be headed to the IL and would undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his […]

Things have not gone well for the Detroit Tigers in the second half of their current homestand against the Boston Red Sox. On Tuesday night, de facto ace hurler Framber Valdez completely fell apart, coughing up 10 runs in three innings en route to a 10-3 loss. Now facing a possible sweep at home — […]
The Red Sox have won two-straight games against the Detroit Tigers. They sit at 15-21 and made the Tigers the only sub-.500 team to be leading a division. Brayan Bello pitched well — his first 7.0 inning performance since August 22, 2025 against the Yankees. Boston recorded 12 hits in the 10-3 drubbing of the […]
For the second NFL Draft in a row, the New England Patriots opted to double-dip at the offensive tackle position. After going with the first-round/Day 3 pairing of Will Campbell and Marcus Bryant in 2025, they went with Caleb Lomu and Dametrious Crownover this year. Obviously, Campbell and Lomu are locks to make the roster […]
After scoring 33 points in the Celtics’ Game 7 loss at home to the 76ers, Jaylen Brown took to Twitch to get everything off his chest before heading into the offseason. Much of it was positive after his MVP-level performance this year. Despite the early exit, he called the 56-win season the most fun he’s […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is over and done. While we are spending most of our time talking about new players now, this also gives us a chance to look back on former players who were traded away and what the New England Patriots received in return. We already talked about Keion White, Kyle Dugger and […]
There are many, many reasons why baseball is the best game on Earth, but one of my favorites is its relentless ability to produce wildly unexpected results. Take tonight as a perfect example: This was as close to a guaranteed Red Sox loss on paper as you could get. You had (among other things): So […]
Top Red Sox prospect Franklin Arias has been named the Eastern League Player of the Month for April, Minor League Baseball announced on Tuesday. Arias put together a monster April with Double-A Portland to open his 2026 season. In 20 games for the Sea Dogs, the 20-year-old infielder went 27-for-72 (.375) at the plate with … Continue reading "Red Sox top prospect Franklin Arias named Eastern League Player of the Month for April"
The Tigers find themselves in a precarious position early in the season. They’ve lost two starters as Casey Mize and now Tarik Skubal are out of commission, and they just dropped the first game of the series to one of the most struggling teams in the AL. They needed to start winning, if only to […]
The New England Patriots snapped the Buffalo Bills’ five-year streak of winning the AFC East last season and ultimately advanced to the Super Bowl before being trounced by the Seattle Seahawks in a game that was not as close as the 29-13 score. Like the Bills, New England prioritized quantity with their 2026 draft class, […]
