The Miami Heat’s most recent loss to the Boston Celtics felt like an all-too-common occurrence. Miami surrendered 147 points, their second time allowing 147 or more over the last week, on 58.3 percent shooting with 21 made Celtic threes. Once prided on its defensive fortitude, the Heat displayed an episodic collapse on that end of […]

The Buffalo Bills selected cornerback Stephon Gilmore with the tenth pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Today, he announced his retirement from the NFL. Gilmore made one Pro Bowl with the Bills in five seasons, picking off five passes in 2016 before signing a huge free agent contract with the New England Patriots. It was […]
With Jaylen Brown playing at a first-team All-NBA level, and Jayson Tatum looking more and more comfortable by the day, the Jays are back to torching the league like nothing has changed. But something has changed. It may not be as noticeable to fans of other teams, but to those of us who watch the […]
As both executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf and head coach Mike Vrabel said at the NFL Combine, the edge position is one of the biggest needs for the New England Patriots. Even after signing Dre’Mont Jones to a three-year deal on the first day of free agency, that remains true. Jones is […]
The Boston Celtics delivered an offensive masterclass in Miami to cool down the playoff hopeful Heat. Their 147-point performance marked the second-highest scoring output of the season, while their explosive 53-point first quarter stands as the most the team has recorded in any quarter since 1970. Boston surged into rhythm early, with Jaylen Brown accounting for the team’s first […]
Rob Gronkowski, the greatest tight end of his generation and arguably in the history of pro football, is the headline name among this year’s nominees for the New England Patriots Hall of Fame. He will be competing against seven other players for the famous red jacket and the honor of receiving the franchise’s highest individual […]
As Kyle Schwarber began to round the bases on Opening Day, the Rangers TV broadcasters griped that the moonshot that sent him on that short but joyous journey hadn’t quite been earned. A left-handed hitter, they said, can get “cheapies” by sending the ball over Citizens Bank Park’s friendly left-field fence, as Schwarber had. The […]
It's always good to beat the Heat. Heat fans have certainly come down a peg from how puffed up they were during the Heatles era. It's so funny how they went from the Celtics have no answer for Bam to wanting him gone and calling him pathetic. It really surprises me how much they don't like Spoelstra. He's a top 15 all time coach. Describing Scheierman as the guy with the mullet and the stache cracked me up for some reason. My favorites are in bol...
If I were to say the words “October baseball” to you, you would instantly be able to picture it in your imagination. You know exactly how October baseball looks, feels, and sounds. You see the bundled-up fans in the stands, you see the FOX score bug on the screen, you hear the crowd roar for […]
MIAMI — As Jayson Tatum concluded his media availability on Wednesday morning, Nikola Vucevic sauntered by. “Say something nice about me, Jayson!” Vucevic belted after passing by the scrum. “Vooch? He’s been working his ass off,” Tatum said with a smile. “He’ll be back soon, I hope.” How soon that’ll be remains to be seen, […]

1. Incredible Scoring Night Coming off a rough loss against the Atlanta Hawks, the Celtics were almost completely healthy in their matchup against the Miami Heat and they played arguably their best offensive game of the season. Boston scored 147 points on the Heat in this game, the second most points they’ve scored in a […]
Before Wednesday night, Boston Celtics sharpshooter Sam Hauser was mired in a 3-point slump that spanned two months. He shot 33 percent last month and 37.5 percent in February — well below his career 41 percent. Then, in the first quarter against the Miami Heat, he caught fire. Hauser shot a perfect 6-for-6 to begin, […]
On the night of February 13th, 2025, John Henry lit up a victory cigar to celebrate what would ultimately turn into one year of Alex Bregman’s services. Today, nearly 14 months later, Alex Bregman is gone, but the ashes from that cigar continue to catch fire and create new destructive flames on a seemingly daily […]
Good morning! I have some positive news: The Red Sox will not lose today. That’s of course because they don’t play again until tomorrow’s home opener, but hey, they can’t get any worse after a reset … right? In the meantime, we’ve gotten a good whiff of the stink emanating from this lineup over the […]
Just the Facts Game Preview The Boston Bruins are riding high and if we wanted to do any real discussion about playoff positioning, the real question that B’s fans should be asking is if it would be better to start resting guys through this next stretch of games and take the 1st wildcard as a […]

Boston stormed into Kaseya Center and picked apart the Heat defense on route to a 147-129 loss for Miami. The loss is the Heat’s third […]

The New England Patriots fielded one of the most impressive running back duos in the NFL in 2025, but head coach Mike Vrabel nonetheless sees the need for improvement. Even with Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson leading the way, Vrabel wants his team to become better at running the ball. The key word is consistency. […]
The New England Patriots’ linebacker group exceeded expectations in 2025, but that does not mean the group is a finished product. Far from it, actually. The Patriots saw last year’s No. 3 at the position, Jack Gibbens, depart in free agency and furthermore opted to release veteran Jahlani Tavai. As a result of these moves […]
With the calendar flipping from March to April, five members of the New England Patriots’ free agency class still remain unaccounted for. However, there recently has been some action for one player on that list. On Monday, offensive tackle Thayer Munford Jr. took a visit with the Tennessee Titans. He was not signed by the […]
Phew. Boston’s 147-129 thrashing of Miami was something else. It’s always tough sledding against the Heat, but a 53-point first quarter (11-15 from 3) and 80 points in the first half are indicative of just how much these teams have changed. The Heat and Celtics are on both ends of the pace spectrum at 104.4 […]
MIAMI — With just a few seconds to spare in the second quarter of Wednesday’s Celtics-Heat game, Derrick White found Jaylen Brown for an alley-oop. Brown finished the layup — marking his 10th basket of the first half — and the Celtics bench rejoiced. But, there was one problem: 1.5 seconds remained on the clock […]
