Giardi: A number of changes on the road to 53, version 2.0
We’re just one week away from NFL cutdown day. Arguments will be had, and plenty will light a candle for their favorite 53rd guy on the roster. I can hear the chatter now.
Red Sox rally past Giants to complete sweep, finish dominant homestand
It looked early like the Red Sox might have a long afternoon ahead of them.Jake Bennett was hit hard in his return from a nine-day break, the Giants jumped out to a three-run lead by the second inning and Boston was staring at the possibility of letting a very winnable series finale slip away.Instead, the Red Sox did what they’ve done so often during their second-half surge, they punched back.
Completed Q&A: Simone on Celtics/NBA, 6:00 p.m. Monday 08.24.2026
As football season inches closer and the Boston Red Sox continue their attempt at a playoff push, the Boston Celtics still have a long time to wait. October is still a long way away.

MLB Notebook: Rafael Devers’ Fenway return comes full circle; Ketel Marte saga gets stranger; Red Sox' Franklin Arias skyrockets
The Red Sox welcomed Rafael Devers and the Giants to Fenway Park on Friday night, marking the first time Devers had played in Boston since his stunning trade to San Francisco last summer.The 29-year-old said before the game that he has no regrets about how his Red Sox tenure ended. He’s happy in San Francisco, though he acknowledged he has learned plenty over the past year.
Wilyer Abreu goes from four strikeouts to walk-off hero as Red Sox stun Giants in ninth
Then the ninth inning happened and Boston erased a 2-0 deficit with three runs in the bottom of the ninth, walking off the Giants, 3-2, in front of a frenzied crowd of 36,478 at Fenway Park. And fittingly, on a night when seemingly nothing had gone right for Wilyer Abreu, he ended up right in the middle of the celebration.

Giardi: Patriots pushing for more Jacas - can he deliver more than he did vs. Eagles?
“I mean, I think just still inconsistent. I think that the effort is certainly there. The willingness. He is a very coachable player.”
BSJ Game Report: Patriots 24, Eagles 21 - Vrabel called out 'dogshit defense,' said team not very deep
Kyle Williams continues to be a bit inconsistent — you'd like to see him play a little more physical fighting for the ball — but you can't teach speed. Williams got behind the Eagles' defense and Tommy DeVito hit him in stride for a 69-yard touchdown, his second score of the preseason.
FINAL: Patriots 24, Eagles 21 - Philly answers Kyle Williams 69-yard TD
Expect it to be similar to the Colts game, where both sides sat their starters after extensive work in joint practices. Will Kayshon Boutte get extended time to show what he can do for a possible trade?

Rafael Devers homers in return, Willson Contreras powers Red Sox past Giants
Devers returned to Fenway Park for the first time since his messy Father’s Day trade to San Francisco last summer and even homered in his return. But on a night centered around his homecoming, it was Contreras and the Red Sox who ultimately had the last word in a 6-4 win over the Giants on Friday night.
Neemias Queta could be gearing up for an offensive leap
Throughout his NBA career so far, Neemias Queta has steadily improved. Until last year, that was. Last year, the improvement was anything but steady. Last year, it was a leap.
BSJ Live Q&A: Bedard on Patriots after Eagles joint practices, 3 p.m. Friday 08.21.26
The Patriots just wrapped up their joint practices with the Eagles, so let's discuss before the second preseason exhibition.
Giardi: Patriots offense has its hands full with the Eagles' D
After a fast start in which Drake Maye completed four of his first five tosses, including a touchdown, the Pats’ third-year signal-caller struggled to find a decent rhythm.
Bedard: Patriots Practice Report 08.20.26 (Defense) - Marcus Jones (2 INTs) stars early, Eagles hit in red zone
After watching the offense yesterday, I concentrated on the Patriots' defense today (outside of NE offensive line pass rush 1-on-1s), and the unit showed well early despite not having starting S Craig Woodson (Dell Pettus and John Saunders rotated), and LB Christian Ellis (limited) splitting time with KJ Britt, and cornerbacks Charles Woods, Kindle Vildor and Marcellas Dial rotating.
Simone: It's the rest of the Celtics that matter most
I read a comment on a recent post here, and it formed a thought bubble. It made me realize how important "the rest" of the Boston Celtics will be this season. This was the comment (or at least, the part of the comment that sparked the idea):
Mickey Gasper homers again, but Red Sox fall in extras to DBacks
Mickey Gasper did it again. Before this week, Gasper had never homered in a Red Sox uniform. Three days later, he has three of them.
Giardi: For AJ Brown, there's no time to look back on what was with the Eagles in town
It was not hard to take Brown’s words about his new quarterback and contrast that with how he grew to feel about his old passer, Jalen Hurts, especially with the Philadelphia media getting their first crack at talking to Brown since the trade.
Haggerty: Could the B's continue to wait on naming a captain?
Could the Boston Bruins actually go another full NHL regular season without formally naming a captain?
Bedard: Patriots Practice Report 08.19.26 - Maye, offense win their battle while defense dominates struggling Eagles pass game
As opposed to the Eagles' offense (more on that in a minute), the defense is fully entrenched in Vic Fangio's scheme, and fully healthy outside of top pass rusher Jonathan Greenard (PUP), and I thought the Patriots' offense got the better of the Philly defense in the course of this practice.
