Still, […]

The Patriots won’t know what to expect from prospect interviews at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine until they have them, but there is something New England wouldn’t mind finding. It’s time to bring the Patriots’ swagger back. It’s been a while since they’ve had it, as whatever remanence remained from the organization’s dynastic run sauntered […]

The Patriots offense will have a different look to it with Alex Van Pelt on the sideline, and it’s a change the unit desperately needs. New England surprisingly hired Van Pelt after it was presumed former tight ends coach Nick Caley was the favorite to land the job. The former Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator hit […]

Michael Pittman Jr. would serve as a great option for the receiver-needy New England Patriots should he reach the open market this offseason. But it doesn’t seem Pittman will get the opportunity to dip his toe into free agency. The Indianapolis Colts won’t let the 2020 second-round receiver get that far. Colts general manager Chris […]

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft ranked among the league’s worst in the annual NFLPA survey published Wednesday. Patriots players gave ownership a D+, which ranked 27th out of 32 teams. Their reasoning was due to the fact players felt Kraft was unwilling to invest in the facilities at One Patriot Place. Kraft received a […]

The New England Patriots will have a lot of cap space to utilize this offseason, and it could create more if they cut J.C. Jackson. New England released Adrian Phillips and Lawrence Guy this month, and it will have at least $83 million in cap space, according to Over The Cap. The Patriots will have […]

Patriots owner Robert Kraft would prefer if people believed Bill Belichick’s departure from New England was “amicable,” and that no ill-will was held by either side. The truth, however, is that actions speak louder than words. It didn’t take long for folks to realize there’s at least some bad blood between the two sides. Belichick’s […]

Many inside the New England Patriots organization stressed this offseason that it’s a new era for the franchise. The recent era clearly wasn’t well-respected by players.

The Patriots are sitting pretty with the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, marking the first time in three decades they’ve held such a prominent role in the league’s draft proceedings.

BOSTON — Celtics star Jaylen Brown had another rock-solid performance Tuesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown continued his hot streak since the All-Star break by putting up a team-high 31 points on an ultra-efficient 11-for-14 shooting along with six rebounds in a 117-99 win for the Celtics at TD Garden. The only downside to […]

BOSTON — The Celtics obviously are accustomed to winning. After all, they have the clear-best record in the NBA at 46-12. But Boston’s 117-99 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night at TD Garden followed a different blueprint, and nobody was more ecstatic about that than Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla.

BOSTON — With Joe Mazzulla at the helm for the last two seasons, the Boston Celtics have operated under the premise that the 3-point shot is the best. Mazzulla would beg to differ with that narrative, though. Mazzulla said he wasn’t at all bothered by Boston’s offense doing the majority of its work from in […]

The 2023 season was not a successful one for the Red Sox, and even though Boston suffered a second-consecutive last-place finish in the American League East, it saw the emergence of Triston Casas at first base. Even though Rafael Devers is the face of the franchise, Casas could give him a run for his money […]

As the NHL trade deadline approaches on March 8, the Bruins are in a bit of a conundrum; they know what they want to do to bolster the lineup, yet they have very little cap space to make it happen. The Bruins lead the Eastern Conference by one point over the Rangers and are poised […]

The New England Patriots have plenty to consider this offseason, not only when evaluating outsiders as potential fits, but also when analyzing what in-house free agents to retain after the organization’s horrid 4-13 finish. Edge defender Anfernee Jennings fits that exact profile, hitting the free agency market after three seasons with New England. Jennings, 26, […]
