While not undergoing the drastic changes of the last two offseasons, the New England Patriots coaching staff is still going to look different heading into 2026. The most prominent change happened on defense. Terrell Williams, the team’s nominal defensive coordinator last season, was moved to a different position in the organization after missing significant chunks […]
What are we supposed to do now? But seriously, after watching the Celtics collapse against the 76ers and seeing their season come to a crashing halt, it feels like something is missing from spring. We’ve all devoted countless hours to watching this team play in May and June, and knowing that the journey is completely […]
The NFL Draft is in the books, but the preparation for the 2026 season continues. On Monday, the New England Patriots will kick off the second phase of their offseason workout program. Despite the sessions again being voluntary, the expectation is that attendance will again be strong. Phase 2 will see the full coaching staff […]
If you had told me about six weeks ago how disappointed I would be at the Sox losing a 4-3 nailbiter and failing to complete a series sweep against one of the National League’s better teams, I probably would’ve told you that it was a good thing. And I would be correct! While today’s tight […]
After a handful of starts for High-A Greenville, Anthony Eyanson is ready to move up to the next level. The Red Sox are promoting the talented pitching prospect to Double-A Portland, according to Chase Ford of MiLB Central. Eyanson is just days removed from making his fifth (and perhaps final) start for Greenville at home … Continue reading "Red Sox to promote top pitching prospect Anthony Eyanson to Double-A Portland"
The NFL Draft is in the books, meaning that the league is heading toward the quietest time on the calendar. Of course, pro football never really sleeps; offseason workout programs are underway and roster movement still happening. The New England Patriots also keep themselves busy at this time of the year. With that as a […]
Squandered is the word of the weekend. It means to waste resources or opportunities through negligence or inaction. In this context, it means leaving runners on base at seemingly every turn. The Red Sox pitched a really good game today. Ranger Suarez threw four shutout innings before leaving the game with hamstring tightness. Tyler Samaniego, […]
The 2026 NBA Playoffs have delivered two very different realities for Rutgers products Ron Harper Jr. and Dylan Harper—but together, they still tell a powerful story about the Scarlet Knights’ growing footprint at the next level. Ron Harper Jr. — Opportunity in the Margins For Ron Harper Jr. and the Boston Celtics, the playoffs ended […]
The Philadelphia 76ers stunned the Boston Celtics in Game 7, but sustaining that level across the playoffs raises serious questions.
BOSTON — Late in the fourth quarter, as Derrick White’s fifth three-pointer of the night sailed through the net, Jayson Tatum turned his back to the TD Garden parquet and emphatically punched the Celtics bench with both fists. He badly wanted the Celtics to do the improbable, to pull out a come-from-behind victory in Game […]
The Buffalo Sabres continue to be the great Cinderella Story of the 2025-26 season. After making the playoffs for the first time in 15 years, their first-round triumph over the Boston Bruins in six games continued the good vibes. But we're getting troubling news on the injury front as the Sabres get set for their second-round series this coming week against the winner of the Montréal Canadiens-Tampa Bay Lightning Game 7 on Sunday night. Head coach Lindy Ruff told reporters that we ...
Waking up this morning was not a dream for Sixers fans, but it sure feels like that. Philadelphia’s perennially maligned basketball team vanquished the hated Celtics, mounted a 3-1 series comeback and pulled out yet another victory on the road in Boston. I can’t believe I typed out all of that, but here we are! […]
After scoring two goals in Game 2 of their first-round series to help the Boston Bruins to a win, Victor Arvidsson was forced out of the lineup for the final two games against the Buffalo Sabres in Boston's six-game series defeat. He's now revealed that he suffered two pretty tough injuries on the same play: a fractured rib and a punctured lung. Viktor Arvidsson dealt with a fractured rib and punctured lung that held him out of Games 5 and 6. Was trying to get back for Game 7. — Co...
Ranger Suarez takes the bump for the Red Sox today in the series finale against the Houston Astros. His first start of the season — a four-run, 4.1 inning performance — came against the Astros, but he’s been much sharper of late. Two of his last three starts were eight-inning shutouts. The Red Sox are […]
TODAY’S GAME: The Houston Astros (13-21) and Boston Red Sox (13-20) play the rubber match of this 3-game weekend series at Fenway Park this afternoon. RHP Cody Bolton (0-1, 5.79 ERA) will start for the Astros vs. BOS LHP Ranger Suarez (2-2, 3.09 ERA). Today will be Bolton’s 1st career appearance at Fenway Park. TODAY’S […]
Thirty-two times. That’s how many times the Celtics held a 3-1 series lead and won. Until Saturday. The Sixers hadn’t beaten Boston in a playoff series since 1982. On Saturday night they ended that too, taking down the secon- seeded Celtics in a series Philadelphia had no business winning on paper. The Celtics were 32-0 […]
Oof. I need a minute to unfold myself and get some air back in my bruised lungs. That one hurt. I think the reason it hurt so much is because it was so unexpected. I predicted a sweep for the Celtics. I dismissed the Sixers as first round fodder. I did not expect MVP Joel […]
The Boston Celtics were just upset by the Philadelphia 76ers, but we just witnessed them do something that we have never seen before.
Babe Ruth is certainly the most famous trade/acquisition in Yankees’ history, probably in baseball history, and you could make the argument for in all of sports history. A big part of its fame relates to how much it almost immediately became a massive swindle, leading to the Red Sox being “cursed” for decades to come. […]
1. Celtics Infamy For the first time in the history of the franchise, the Boston Celtics blew a 3-1 lead in a series, losing Game 7 to the Philadelphia 76ers, 109-100. This is the 14th time in NBA History that a team has come back down 3-1 in a series and the first time since […]
BOSTON — The Boston Celtics began their season with three straight losses. Six months later, against the same Philadelphia 76ers they faced on Opening Night, their season ended with three straight losses in a historic fall from grace at TD Garden. “We knew it was going to be a fight, and we didn’t expect nothing […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for the next week or so, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. For the third day of […]
Alex Cora’s termination ended the short-lived tenure of the painfully awful hit celebration that the Red Sox began the 2026 season with. No matter what else comes out of the managerial and coaching changes, I’m truly appreciative of the ripple effect they had on this weirdly weak and unoriginal celebration. As I wrote earlier, the […]

In Saturday’s Brotherhood Playoff Action, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics were eliminated by the Philadelphia 76ers, 109-100. Tatum was listed as questionable earlier, but was ruled out due to stiffness in his left knee. Philadelphia will go on to play the New York Knicks. You’ll recall that Tatum suffered his Achilles injury in last […]
