Welcome back to our 2025 Red Sox Postmortem. After talking about the things we loved and hated, grading Craig Breslow and Alex Cora, reevaluating the Rafael Devers trade, handing out individual awards, and assessing whether the season was a success, today we turn our attention of the offseason. What should be Craig Breslow’s top offseason priority? Acquiring a #2 […]
The Buffalo Bills are still the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoff picture, but after dropping their last two games and falling behind the New England Patriots in the AFC East standings, there is plenty of cause for concern as the Bills sit idle in Week 7. For the first time under head coach […]
Interim Tennessee Titans head coach Mike McCoy will make his debut against Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots on Sunday. McCoy is replacing Brian Callahan, who was fired earlier this week. He’s already discussed making changes to the offense throughout his meetings with the media. McCoy is more of an old-school leader than Callahan […]
It was a spectacular day of baseball yesterday, Seattle and Toronto kicking things off with a thriller, and Shohei Ohtani putting on a Friday night show to cinch their second-consecutive pennant. After a long year of ups and downs, it’s once again the Dodgers who capture the pennant, and they’ll await a winner from the […]
In an effort to give a broader perspective on the Boston Celtics upcoming season, I posed the following assignments to the CelticsBlog staff: Here are their responses. Feel free to add your own to the comments section below! Ian Inangelo Safe Prediction: Jaylen Brown will make an all-nba team. With Tatum out Brown averages around 25-27 […]

Elly De La Cruz has led the league in errors the past two seasons, but the Reds intend to keep him at shortstop, at least for the time being. President of baseball operations Nick Krall spoke to Mark Sheldon of MLB.com for a piece about Cincinnati’s top prospects. With shortstop prospect Edwin Arroyo knocking on…
On October 17th in 2002, 21 year old Lethbridge College student Timmy Hurlburt flubbed an attempt to streak the Saddledome surface with five minutes remaining in a Boston Bruins/Calgary Flames matchup.
Acting on a $200 dare, Hurlburt successfully scaled the nine foot glass clad solely in red socks and a wrist-watch only to botch the descent. Landing off-balance, Hurlburt's head struck the ice

For his first couple of hires, Paul Toboni has been leaning on people he knows. His first hire was Devin Pearson, the Red Sox scouting director he had a ton of history with. Now, it was reported that he has brought Red Sox field coordinator Andrew Wright with him. Wright will be part of the […]
Calvin Ridley has been ruled out for the Tennessee Titans game this Sunday against the New England Patriots. That isn’t really a surprise considering he injured his hamstring in the first quarter last week and didn’t practice all week. The Titans will also be without wide receiver Bryce Oliver. Is this the thing that gets […]
The Red Sox have outrighted right-handers Isaiah Campbell and José De León to Triple-A Worcester, according to their transactions tracker at MLB.com. That indicates both players cleared waivers in recent days. There was no previous indication that either player had been designated for assignment but these kinds of moves are common at this time of…
The Tennessee Titans will be without wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Bryce Oliver due to injuries against the New England Patriots on Sunday. That means wideouts like Tyler Lockett, Chimere Dike, and Van Jefferson could see extended workloads. But what it really means is that the Titans need rookie pass-catcher Elic Ayomanor to be really […]
If you asked me six months ago what I thought the Red Sox lineup would look like by season’s end, my answer would have been shockingly wrong. Going though each section of the diamond, here’s where my general thought process stood in April: If you stack all this up, I was probably thinking of a […]
BOSTON — Payton Pritchard and Aaron Nesmith were both drafted in the first round by the Celtics in 2020. Today, more than five years later, the duo is jointly kickstarting a social media app, the Off Court app, the first social media app built by and for basketball players, which seeks to transform the way […]
October 17th, 2004. The Boston Red Sox are down three games to none in the ALCS against the Evil Empire, their dreaded rivals — the New York Yankees. Kevin Millar, who has already made his now-famous “Don’t let us win tonight’ quote, leads off the bottom of the 9th with a walk. Terry Francona makes […]
Things have settled into a pretty normal game week after all the chaos that happened earlier in the week with Brian Callahan being fired. The Tennessee Titans have had two practices under interim coach Mike McCoy. Yesterday, the questions from the media shifted from questions about Callahan to questions about the New England Patriots. Now, […]
In case you weren’t aware, it was reported earlier this week that the Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman would indeed be opting out of the remaining two years on his contract with Boston and will enter free agency. It was not really an unexpected move, as Bregman sat around all of last offseason looking […]
It wasn’t all that long ago when Red Sox fans were dreaming of Vlad Guerrero, Jr. hitting after Rafael Devers in the lineup, when Red Sox Twitter was awash in photoshops of Vladdy, Raffy, and Juan Soto (Juanny?) all wearing the red ‘B’. Alas, that’s not what fate (or Fenway Sports Group) had in store […]
Craig Breslow is probably riding high right now. The Red Sox made the playoffs. Garrett Crochett looked excellent. The lineup needed Roman Anthony. Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman looked good – as did some of the other bullpen members. Over the Monster has, to various degrees, called this season a qualified success. But more needs […]
Typically, NBA preseason basketball can feel like a bit of a snoozefest. For teams with a set-in-stone starting lineup and rotation, those exhibition games are a way to shake off the rust and get the roster warmed up before Opening Night arrives. However, for the Celtics, their preseason had its highest level of intrigue in […]
Welcome to Friday, folks! In classic Las Vegas fashion, you can forgive the Bruins and their fans if they woke up a little fuzzy this morning. It was a wild one at T-Mobile Arena, with the B’s ultimately falling to the Golden Knights, 6-5. Similar to the game against Tampa, the Bruins were far too […]
With the dust now settled, Hugo Gonzalez might just be the big winner of Boston’s preseason. The 28th overall pick from this year’s draft is in a crowded position group entering his rookie season, but alongside Josh Minott, his four-game preseason sample was largely a positive one. Gonzalez’s defense, rebounding and pure athleticism may make […]
The upcoming season could be the most interesting, pivotal, and hard to predict that the Boston Celtics have had in a while. The range of possibilities for this team is broad and varied. Everything is on the table from Jayson Tatum returning to lead them to a deep postseason run to a tanking season where […]
