Simone's Training Camp Notebook: Keeping up with the NBA Joneses
If such a huge part of winning in the NBA is figuring out how to keep up with the Joneses, then is there a way to predict the Joneses' next move?
FINAL: Patriots 29, Bills 26 - New England, Maye (3 TDs) shock Allen and the Bills
I do think Drake Maye has a chance to play much better because this is the simplest and least talented defense he has seen to this point. But none of us has any idea what we're going to see from Maye, so deeper analysis really isn't needed.
Bedard: The Patriots might fall to 1-3 against Bills, but here's five reasons to maintain optimism
Pretty soon people will be doing their quarter-season assessments, and I'm fairly certain the Seahawks, Jaguars and Bills will be near the top of the lists for their respective conferences. Depending on health, I would not be surprised to see any of those teams in the Super Bowl. I think people are majorly sleeping on the Jaguars. That's a damn good team in all three phases, and I'd argue they are the best team the Patriots have faced.

Giardi: NFL Notebook - Williams knows more is needed; plus, no set formula to develop young QBs
“100%,” he said. “100%. But getting to this point, to, you know, getting the recognition I'm getting is what you want as an interior lineman - to finally get to that point. But now you can't complain about getting more attention and getting doubled. You've got to figure out a way to make something happen.”
Simone's Training Camp Notebook: Player development reigns supreme
Player development has been the backbone of the Boston Celtics organization for years. So much so that they have built a team whose ceiling will be guided by its depth.
Bedard: Patriots will try to slow down Josh Allen, Bills without Gonzalez, Barmore; Vrabel on Maye's shoulder; Brown at RG
The Patriots will be without CB Christian Gonzalez and DT Christian Barmore — two of their best and highest-paid defenders — for Sunday's game at Highmark Stadium.
Red Sox saved a sinking season, but Yankees exposed the holes that never disappeared
For nearly three months, the Red Sox made it easy to forget how their season started.They were once 14 games under .500 and seemingly headed toward another lost summer. Then something clicked and Boston ripped off 15 consecutive wins, went 27-3 from the beginning of July into early August and, at one point, won 32 of 37 games.

The Red Sox spent months fighting to save a season that once appeared lost. When October finally arrived, it was over almost as quickly as it began.Boston’s offense disappeared against the Yankees for a second straight night, and when Willson Contreras finally gave the Red Sox a pulse with a sixth-inning homer, the pitching staff immediately gave it away.

Simone's Training Camp Notebook: A Baylor Scheierman breakout may be inevitable
It's not always easy to tell how talented a player is without being his teammate. If the guy doesn't play 25 minutes a night and get a ton of shots up, it can be hard to assess him. Perhaps that's been the case with Baylor Scheierman, who was the first of many names Conley mentioned.
