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?
NBA Notebook: More Jaylen Brown explanations, Cavaliers moves, and Pistons problems
During a recent episode of the Beneath the Banners show on the Boston Celtics' official YouTube channel, Brad Stevens shared some additional thoughts on the Jaylen Brown trade. Or, more specifically, an additional explanation.
Giardi: NFL Notebook - Patriots camp battles entering final stages; plus, joint practices aren't for everyone
There are a handful of camp battles that are being waged that we’ll have our eyes on.
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.
Bedard: Patriots' 1-on-1 totals this point - Campbell soaring, Lomu hit and miss; Eagles notes
The big headline to me was Will Campbell. I knew he had been really good in this camp — no matter what one-rep videos you see on social media (nobody's perfect) — but I didn't realize he was this good. Campbell is 12-1-1 so far in this camp. About this time last year, he was 3-6-1.
Adley Rutschman’s first Red Sox homer sparks 9-4 comeback win over Diamondbacks
It took a few games, but Adley Rutschman is beginning to look like the impact trade-deadline addition the Red Sox expected.Rutschman drove in three runs and launched his first home run in a Red Sox uniform Tuesday night as Boston overcame an early blown lead and pulled away for a 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks at Fenway Park.
Final: Red Sox 9 vs Diamondbacks 4 - Rutschman hits first home run with Red Sox in victory
The Boston Red Sox continue their series agains the Arizona Diamondbacks after last night's 11-1 victory.
Podcasts: Bedard talks Gonzalez and state of the Patriots with Felger & Mazz, Nick Cattles
Greg Bedard of BostonSportsJournal.com joins Felger and Mazz and opens the show with his thoughts on the latest with Christian Gonzalez and his contract.
BSJ Live Q&A: Haggerty on Bruins offseason, looming rookie camp - 11 a.m. Thursday 08.20.26
Haggs is here to answer all of your questions about the end of the B's summer offseason, the start of rookie camp in just a couple of weeks and any unfinished business that the Black and Gold intend to take care of between now and then.
Giardi: Patriots hoping Gilliam is a real difference maker, even if the ball won't be in his hands often (or at all)
How does Reggie Gilliam know when the running game is going well?
Giardi: Ponder trying to prove he's not just a one-dimensional player; Patriots add guard help
Ponder’s practice on Monday was one of the better ones he’s had this summer.
Red Sox snap out of offensive funk with 11-run outburst against Diamondbacks
Boston opened its six-game homestand by pounding out 16 hits, including seven doubles and two home runs, in an 11-1 rout of the Diamondbacks at Fenway Park.The Red Sox didn’t strike out once, and all nine starters drove in a run. It marked just the fourth time since 2000 that every starter in Boston’s lineup recorded an RBI and just the fourth time they’ve accomplished the feat at Fenway Park since 1950.
Final: Red Sox 11, Diamondbacks 1 - All nine starters record RBI's in Red Sox win
The Boston Red Sox win the first game of their series against the Arizona Diamondback 11-1
Bedard: Patriots Practice Report 08.17.26 - Good day for Drake Maye, offense as Christian Barmore returns
Maye and the first-team offense avoided their normal slow start and looked precise from the get-go in this practice, which featured sessions of first downs, second and third downs, and a two-minute drill.
Giardi: Should the Patriots be concerned about their ground game? Plus, confidence in Pop paying dividends
Had McDaniels loved where they were, he would have said so. But there was also no panic. He has seen too much, over too many years, to start deciding the offense can do this but can’t do that.
