Here are all the other games! Game 1: Los Angeles vs. Colorado Whoever showed up from the second wildcard spot for the West was getting fed into a woodchipper. Through a series of misadventures, it happened to be the LA Kings. If you are wondering which of the first round series could be a sweep, […]
At a certain point, you have to stop circling possibilities and just make a call. Nobody enjoys that part, because it means putting something on record and living with it for the next two months. The Celtics enter the playoffs as one of the most difficult teams in the league to pin down. They’ve shown […]
Tyrese Maxey may not be on the level of a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Doncic, or even Jalen Brunson, but in a first round series against Philadelphia, the Celtics will get an opportunity to test their top-5 defense. When going up against a great player, there are two schools of thought: let them get theirs and shut […]
After nearly a decade of disappointing their fans in the spring time, the Sixers are in a no-lose situation as they open the NBA’s second season on Sunday afternoon in Boston. Expectations couldn’t be lower for the Sixers as the Celtics are the consensus pick to win the East. It’s probably fair to say that […]
Could the Sixers upset the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs? It feels highly unlikely, but it would be revenge over four decades in the making. This spring will be the NBA-record 23rd time the two franchises have met in the postseason. It’s a rivalry that favors Boston historically, and, really, in 2026 […]
One of the unfortunate side effects that we experience in this current era of prestige TV is that it’s all too easy to forget about a great show after it ends. I’m not talking about the Mad Men and Sopranos types of prestige TV shows, the ones that stick around long enough that they firmly […]
After a frustrating 1-0 extra innings loss in game one of this series, the Detroit Tigers sent their ace to the mound looking to even things up. Tarik Skubal was very good, the Tigers beat up on Brayan Bello to build an early lead despite squandering some chances, and the bullpen was nails. It was […]
BOSTON — This could be Jordan Walsh’s moment, the moment that Brad Stevens envisioned when he drafted a 19-year-old propspet out of Arkansas in 2023. Back then, Walsh was long, athletic defender that the Celtics hoped could eventually mold into someone who could lock down some of the NBA’s best offensive talents. Walsh never really […]
Before a drop off in the playoffs, Hunter Henry was arguably the New England Patriots’ most reliable offensive skill position player during the 2025 season. But while he is set to return for a sixth season with the organization, it very well is in the market for more options at tight end: heading toward the […]
The New England Patriots are set to be featured on the HBO documentary series Hard Knocks in 2027, which will give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the team (and new training facility) throughout training camp. Head coach Mike Vrabel had a rather straightforward response when asked for his reaction. “Can’t wait,” he said sarcastically. Patritos […]
A Scarlet Knight in Boston’s Rotation For Ron Harper Jr., the journey has been about patience, growth, and finding his role on a championship-caliber roster. After grinding his way into the league, Harper has carved out a role with the Celtics as a versatile wing—someone who can defend multiple positions, space the floor, and provide […]
When we think of prototypical New England Patriots, not only are we looking at the player, but often the background as well. The perfect encapsulation of a Patriot is someone who may have been overlooked or counted out for some reason or another, whether that is because of size, injury history, and any other factor. […]

Well, it was a good thing the Sox won last night, because it’s going to be a tough one this afternoon. The Sox take on Tarik Skubal, who received a big early boost in the Cy Young race when Garrett Crochet got rocked earlier this week. Of course, Skubal doesn’t really need the help, as […]

Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Jack Anderson. The Red Sox have had to go to the 40-man roster earlier in the season than they would have liked, to the tune of bringing four guys up from Worcester so far, three of whom have made their Major League debut (four total […]
Worcester, Game 1: L, 2-4 (BOX SCORE) Jake Bennett, who had his start derailed by a day due to rain, continues his hot start to 2026. He now has 16 1/3 innings with just one run earned, and continued that with three innings of shutout ball. However, neither that or the okay relief work was […]
The Detroit Tigers saw their six-game winning streak snapped on Friday night by the Boston Red Sox, 1-0, in a genuine pitcher’s duel that required an extra inning to determine the winner. Casey Mize looked great for the Motor City Kitties, but the offense could not break through against Ranger Suarez and Aroldis Chapman. The […]
It took some unexpected heroics from Ryan McMahon, but the Yankees picked up a much-needed victory in their series opener against the Royals. Having just played a very frustrating series against the Angels, the last thing they needed was a dumb loss to open the set against Kansas City. While the Yankees wouldn’t lose any […]
You know how sometimes you hear a statistic that feels so outrageous you have have to dig into the details and verify it yourself? Well, Chris Cotillo dropped one of those last night when he tweeted this after the Red Sox 1-0 win in ten innings: Now let’s be clear, the Red Sox don’t always […]
Just the Facts Final regular season results for both teams Boston Bruins Buffalo Sabres Series Preview Man. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen these two teams against one another in the playoffs. Ever since 2010, the Sabres have embarked on an over decade long wander in the desert to become the NHL’s punching […]
The Boston Celtics will enter the playoffs facing a highly familiar opponent. Their upcoming series will mark the 23rd postseason meeting between the Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers, underscoring one of the league’s most enduring rivalries. The two teams also met four times during the regular season. While Jayson Tatum did not appear in any of those matchups, […]
Of the last 20 games of Boston’s regular season, 13 featured a starting lineup of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Sam Hauser and Neemias Queta. Despite Tatum’s late entry into the lineup, that 5-man combo is third in total minutes together this year, sporting a +7 net scoring advantage (per 100 possessions). It’s a […]
This is the sixth walk-off in the Fenway Greens in their season+ lifetime and that’s kind of absurd. They must be made of magic. Did the offense look absolutely inept against Casey Mize? Yeah, Mize mowed this lineup down for seven innings. Thankfully, Ranger Suárez was on par if not better, creating one of the […]
