The Portland Trail Blazers went 2-2 this week with losses to the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Clippers to start, then wins over the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks to close it out. There were a number of standout performances this week, but rookie guard Caleb Love takes home the Blazer of the Week honor […]
I fully expect the Nolan Arenado rumor mill to start churning at full blast now that it appears the Los Angeles Angels have a clear path for him to potentially join the team, but there are still so many questions. Let’s start with what we know. MLB Trade Rumors just shared word that the Angels […]
Who doesn’t love a good preview before the main event? A bit of a primer goes a long way when you’re trying to identify what’s going on during an NBA game. What actions are being run and why? Who is being targeted defensively? Why is this player being guarded by another? In this article (and […]
The Utah Jazz (12-19) are hosting the Boston Celtics (19-12) at (The) Delta Center tonight. Utah has won two-straight, with wins against the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs. While these games were exciting to watch, if the season ended today, the Jazz would be living the worst case scenario: missing the Play-In while having […]
The modern era finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame class 2026 have been announced, and among the 15 men is former New England Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri. For a second straight year, Vinatieri is one hurdle away from the game’s biggest individual honor. An undrafted free agent out of South Dakota State in […]
Is there a chance that, at age-34, Willson Contreras gets even better next year? As a right-handed hitter who pulls the ball in the air in left field, he’s going to the perfect ballpark. And there is very recent history of a righty coming from St. Louis to Boston and immediately improving in a statistical […]
Just like that, the 2025 NFL regular season is heading into its final week. It feels like every year, most fans go through the same emotions of feeling like the season just started, and yet, in the blink of an eye, the 18-week regular season closes out. For some teams, the start of the playoffs […]

The kids have another week left of their break for the holidays, and I am definitely not counting those days down like it’s a posting window for a Japanese star … I appreciated reading an actual human translation of Tatsuya Imai’s comments about the posting process, which we discussed yesterday , and which concludes this Friday, January 2 at the latest. The automated translations weren’t TOO far off (close enough to get the right sense of where things stand), but this is better: ...
The Miami Dolphins nearly beat the Patriots when they last met. Can Quinn Ewers be the difference to orchestrate a Week 18 victory?
The bad news: the Bruins lost again. The good news: at least they got a point this time? The B’s dropped their sixth game in a row last night, losing to Calgary 2-1 in overtime. Connor Zary scored a PPG two minutes into OT to give Calgary the win, a goal that was some sort […]
It was another MVP like performance for Drake Maye on Sunday as the quarterback left New York completing 19-of-21 passes for 256 yards and five touchdowns in a 42-10 dismantling of the Jets. While it’s worthwhile to point out the quality of opponent, Maye continued to etch his name in record books as he posted […]
Welcome back to the 2025-26 edition of Smash or Pass, in which we examine potential free agent and trade targets to determine whether the Red Sox should pursue them and what it would take to land them. Today we look at a catcher who shows versatility and power at the plate. Who is he and where […]
Good morning. Japanese third baseman/first baseman Kazuma Okamoto has traveled to the US to meet in-person with teams in advance of his fast-approaching signing deadline. Regardless of whether the Sox are meaningful players in this pursuit, this should speed up their offseason by clarifying the third base picture around the league. Talk about what you […]
Week 17 was a full-on success for the New England Patriots. Not only did they celebrate a 42-10 victory over the New York Jets that was very much uncontested, they also ended up clinching the AFC East later on Sunday. As the cherry on top, they also caught a much-needed break on the injury front. […]
It happened again. The late-game turnovers stole the headlines (pun intended) in the Celtics’ 114-108 loss in Portland, but big picture, it was just the sixth time in 31 games that Boston shot under 30% from behind the arc (13-of-34 for 29.5%). They’re now 1-5 on those cold-shooting nights. In the past, it’s been a […]
