BOSTON — The Celtics will be without Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta when they face the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night. Brown is dealing with an illness, while Queta is getting a rest night, per the team’s official injury report. For the Bucks, meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo will make his return from a calf injury that’s […]
The Boston Bruins are looking to make a move. GM Don Sweeney says he's looking to "give the team a bump" at this deadline, to reward them for an unexpectedly successful season that sees them clinging to the second Wild Card spot in the East. And word is, they're zeroing in on the Vancouver Canucks to get something done. According to insider James Murphy , the Bruins are "actively scouting" the Canucks, with two players in particular in their crosshairs. Boston has been track...
The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine is in the books after front office interviews and four days of on-field workouts. As the New England Patriots continue to work through their different scenarios with the No. 31 overall picks, here’s who helped — and who may have hurt — their draft stock throughout the week in Indianapolis. Running backs […]
Is the game on TV? Yes, first pitch is at 1:07 PM (what? why?) on NESN. I’m guessing this broadcast be similar to a few days ago, though, when NESN simply streamed the home team’s feed, so don’t expect to get your daily dose of Tom Caron. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? […]

The WBC kicks off this week, and players have already left their respective Spring Training camps to join their countrymen (or ancestral countrymen, at least). After they play some exhibition warm-up games against professional teams, both MLB and otherwise, on Tuesday, they’ll kick off official tournament play with Chinese Taipei at Australia in the Tokyo […]

The Boston Bruins refuse to quit one name as the deadline gets closer: Owen Tippett. According to Daily Faceoff’s Anthony Di Marco , Boston has checked in on the Philadelphia Flyers winger multiple times this season, and while Philadelphia is not trying to move him, they are at least willing to listen if the offer hits a serious level. Anthony Di Marco: One name the Bruins have checked in on several times this season is winger Owen Tippett; The Flyers aren’t looking to move [him] by any ...
Always good to beat the Sixers. I love how much they envy Celtics organization, front office and coach. Them trading for the #1 pick and taking Fultz instead of Tatum pretty much says it all. For all those years they tanked in the process, they don't have much to show for it. It cracked me up when they called Scheierman balding because he probably has the most hair on the team. And every fan base makes a big deal out of playing 4 white players. ...
I’m running out this morning, so I’m posting this early. The Red Sox are coming to Dunedin for a 1:00 Eastern game. There are a number of regulars (or at least guys likely to make the roster) in the lineup today. And Cody Ponce is starting, so there are reasons to watch. Today’s Lineups RED […]
In today’s installment of our daily thrice weekly occasional spring series, I wanted to ask about the World Baseball Classic. Exhibition games kick off tomorrow, WBC squads facing off against MLB teams. The Jays host Team Canada at their usual 1:07pm ET spring timeslot. Canada then visits the Phillies on Wednesday before flying to Puerto […]
BOSTON — Jaylen Brown was arguably the loudest Celtics fan in the building. Whether on the floor or watching from the bench, he was the first to celebrate his teammates during their 114-98 win over the Sixers on Sunday night at TD Garden. “Tonight was a team win,” Brown said. “Everybody did their part, and […]
The St. Louis Blues are involved in advanced trade talks on Robert Thomas, and by the sounds of it, two serious suitors have emerged as the heavy favorites. If Thomas is dealt before Friday's deadline, expect to see either the Boston Bruins or Utah Mammoth the trade-deadline winners. The Bruins are offering top prospects in return for Thomas, including Matthew Poitras and Dean Letourneau. They don't see interested moving James Hagens at this time. The Mammoth have Tij Iginla and Cole Beaudoin ...
Following an abysmal fourth quarter performance that saw them come out 120-97 losers against the Chicago Bulls last night, the Bucks get an immediate shot at redemption tonight against the Boston Celtics. It will be the sides’ third matchup of the season, with the Bucks winning their December meeting 116-101 on the back of 31 […]

The New England Patriots find themselves in a much different position than they were at this time last season. After overhauling the roster in Year 1 under Mike Vrabel, the Patriots turned things around and advanced to Super Bowl LX. Entering free agency in 2026, the list of needs is significantly shorter for Vrabel and […]
Happy March, everyone! It feels like Spring Training only just got started, but we’re already at World Baseball Classic week as the games get underway on Thursday March 5th. It’s crazy to think that we were just complaining how it felt like winter would never end, and now we’re in the same month that will […]
Happy Monday, everyone. This is a great time to remind you that Nate Oats and company won at Tennessee on Saturday. Let’s have one more look at that game winner, shall we? It’s just so beautiful. Alabama softball dominated its home tournament as expected this weekend, and baseball had a successful weekend as well, winning […]
The calendar has officially turned to March, which means we get some honest to goodness, legit baseball to talk about. The World Baseball Classic begins this week, and in just a few weeks time the Boston Red Sox will begin their 2026 season in earnest against the Cincinnati Reds. Until the really good stuff can […]
Hello and happy Monday, folks. Happy March, too. The World Baseball Classic starts this week! That’s awesome! A total of 14 players within the organization—the baker’s dozen I highlighted a few weeks ago on OTM plus Roman Anthony—will be competing in the international tournament. That leads to the question of the day: which of those […]
The New England Patriots rebuilt large parts of their defense in 2025, and the edge was no exception. There were some big investments as well as an infusion of talent to help reshape the group for the future. That process paid some initial dividends, but as a look at the current composition of the depth […]
Welcome to a new week, folks! The Bruins won’t be back in action until tomorrow night, when they host the streaking Pittsburgh Penguins at TD Garden. That will be the first of two match-ups against those same Penguins in less than a week, as the B’s will face them in Pittsburgh on Sunday afternoon. Looming […]
Late in the fourth quarter Sunday, with the Celtics one knockout blow away from finishing the 76ers, it was fitting that Neemias Queta provided the final punch. A man among boys on this particular night, Queta wrestled the ball away from VJ Edgecombe, finished through contact and screamed to fire up the TD Garden crowd […]
*It was a reasonably quiet weekend for the Flyers as far as games on the schedule goes, but it was still an exciting one. They returned to home ice on Saturday and picked up a huge win over the Bruins in their matinee. [ BSH ] *Charlie has his own takeaways from that win herein. [ PHLY ] *Dan Vladar came up with a huge performance for the Flyers in that win. [ NBCSP ] *And there’s been a lot to like about what he’s been doing for his team, both on and off the ice, this season. [...
The New England Patriots made some major investments on the defensive side of the ball last offseason, and the results looked the part. That was especially true along the interior defensive line, where almost the entire group was turned over. The decision to make changes paid off: the defensive tackle spot was one of the […]
