After just two days with helmets on, the Patriots spent Monday going through a walkthrough without headwear — unless you count the numerous bucket hats, backward baseball caps, and a few pom-pom hats (it's July, Kayshon Boutte, not January).
NBA Notebook: LeBron James vs. the East, Thunder playing dirty, and John Tonje's new deal

NHL Notes: Eyssimont a forgotten man for the Bruins
The Bruins are still a good five weeks away from training camp and roughly two months away from the start of the NHL regular season, so there is still ample time for a lot of different things to happen. But it feels like there are most definitely some forgotten players mixed between the returning incumbents, the young players expected to make a move to the NHL this season and a Bruins team that clearly needs to upgrade in a number of areas coming off a playoff season.
MLB Notebook: Red Sox make first move, acquire Curtis Mead, Shea Langeliers injured, trade rumors swirl around baseball

Bedard: Patriots Practice Report 07.26.26 - Tough day for Maye, offense as defensive stars shine
The Patriots are far from running their normal multiple offense — it's all been outside zone runs and boots so far — so it's early days, but Sunday was not a good day for the offense and Drake Maye. The QB was just 6 of 12 and was picked off for the first time by Craig Woodson.

Dylan Cease dominated from the first pitch to the last, tossing a one-hit shutout with 12 strikeouts as the Blue Jays rolled to a 6-0 victory over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Toronto gave its ace all the run support he would need with a five-run third inning against Sonny Gray, handing Boston its most lopsided loss in nearly a month.
Giardi: Maye looking comfortable in his shoes; plus, how do teammates feel about Gonzalez?
That point, about doing something in this league, should no longer be a concern. Judging from the way I’ve observed Maye operate this spring and now on day one of training camp, he feels that way too.
Bedard: Patriots Practice Report 07.25.26 - Gonzalez a full participant on opening day as Jacas finally signs
A big topic of conversation this offseason has been about whether or not there'd be drama between the team and their top cornerback as he seeks a lucrative contract extension. There was no such drama on the first day of camp as Gonzalez was a full participant, even in team drills, as he was back in his usual right cornerback position.

Bedard: Areas of concern and confidence with Patriots' new additions heading into camp
It seems like everyone, including myself, believes that the major additions — A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, Dre'Mont Jones, Kevin Byard and Alijah Vera-Tucker — are surefire upgrades for the Patriots. The odds of that are more probable than not, considering they are all good professionals, and the Patriots' coaching staff showed a great ability last season at maximizing their talent relative to other coaching staffs. But let's make no mistake: none of these additions are surefire hits. There is a l...
