K.J. Osborn comes to the New England Patriots after having spent the last four seasons training and playing with arguably the best receiver in the NFL. And while it would be unfair to compare Osborn to Justin Jefferson, or expect the 2020 fifth-round pick now will produce like the 2022 Offensive Player of the Year, […]

Scott Hanson, the wildly popular host of “NFL RedZone” during the football season, is about to gain a new audience. NBC Sports announced Wednesday the network will team up with Hanson, Andrew Siciliano, Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila during the Paris Olympic Games 2024 and produce a similar product called “Gold Zone.” Those four will serve […]

The Patriots might not have signed marquee names during the first wave of free agency, but they did secure a person who is well-respected in the locker room. New England re-signed Kendrick Bourne to a three-year deal worth up to $33 million. The news was met with positive reactions from Patriots receivers and Bailey Zappe. […]

Danilo Gallinari seemed like a perfect buyout candidate for the Boston Celtics when the veteran forward was dealt from the Washington Wizards to the Detroit Pistons and then waived hours after the trade deadline. But Gallinari returning to the Celtics never materialized. The Celtics reportedly showed “interest” in the 6-foot-10 sharpshooter, but Gallinari told CLNS […]

K.J. Osborn never really had to worry about the talent level of his teammates in Minnesota, but that’s about to change now that he’s joined the Patriots. The Vikings offense has boasted some supremely talented players in recent seasons. Kirk Cousins, no matter your opinion, is undoubtedly among the better quarterbacks in the NFL. Dalvin […]

BOSTON — NESN announced Wednesday plans to commemorate the network’s 40th anniversary beginning Thursday. The celebration will begin on March 21, which marks the 40th anniversary of the first live game broadcast on NESN and will continue throughout the year. NESN will be kicking off its 40th anniversary celebration with the Boston Bruins and Boston […]

If you were to look at K.J. Osborn’s production during his four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, chances are you wouldn’t think he is capable of a No. 1 receiver role. Osborn’s numbers don’t exactly jump off the page, portraying he’s more of a depth option that defense-dictating pass-catcher. Osborn, however, doesn’t believe those statistics […]

There are two spots left in the Field of 64 for the 2024 NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament, and they both will be decided Wednesday night in Dayton, Ohio. The first matchup will see Montana State battle Grambling for the right to become the 16th seed in the Midwest Region. Both teams reached the First […]

Bill Belichick reportedly has a book coming out in the aftermath of “The Dynasty,” a 10-part docuseries that pained the former New England Patriots coach in a poor light. Pretty good timing, right? As exciting as a clap-back of sorts from Belichick would be, that reportedly is not the nature of the book the future […]

High upside Boston Red Sox prospect Miguel Bleis feels he is positioned for a bounce-back season in 2024. The way Bleis trained in the offseason is fueling that belief. Bleis, who is ranked as the fifth-best prospect in the Red Sox farm system by MLB Pipeline, missed a majority of last season after undergoing left […]

Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla is an interesting guy, whose quirks either endear him to people or drive them crazy. His tendency to try and block opponent’s shots after timeouts is one of those quirks, and was on full display in last Thursday’s matchup with the Suns. Mazzulla went into a full stretch to contest […]

K.J. Osborn isn’t going to knock anyone’s socks off like some more prominent wide receivers who hit the open market this offseason, but the Patriots still got a good player when they inked him to a one-year deal. In New England, good is a rarely used adjective when discussing the wide receiver room. In Minnesota, […]

K.J. Osborn admitted the uncertainty regarding the New England Patriots quarterback situation played a role in his decision-making in NFL free agency. Nobody would have believed him if he said it didn’t. But it’s fair to wonder if Osborn might have received some assurances from first-year coach Jerod Mayo and newly hired offensive coordinator Alex […]

The Patriots didn’t make a splashy move during the first wave of free agency, but there still are multiple options available in the trade market. New England reportedly has “looked into” the idea of trading for a high-end player who can help the team right away. There weren’t specifics, but on offense, Tee Higgins and […]

Wednesday night figures to offer a possible Eastern Conference finals preview with the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks colliding at TD Garden.

Linus Ullmark wasn’t the only Bruins player who Patrice Bergeron reached out to before the NHL trade deadline. Bergeron also spoke with Jake DeBrusk, whose name was floated in trade rumors in the days leading up to March 8. This wasn’t a new experience for DeBrusk, a talented player who’s seen an equal amount of […]

It’s a relatively small mistake in the grand scheme of things, but someone probably should have stopped USC, Texas, Alabama and Ohio State from simultaneously hosting their pro days Wednesday. It’s making life difficult for a ton of NFL teams, as they’re forced to make a decision on which members of the organization they’re sending […]

Chase Elliott will be honoring a NASCAR legend at Darlington Raceway on May 12. Hendrick Motorsports on Wednesday released a video of Elliott unveiling a new paint scheme on his No. 9 Chevrolet that honors Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s 2014 Daytona 500 victory. Elliott revealed to Earnhardt in the video that he was late to his […]

Matthew Judon was not pleased to see the Patriots’ latest high-profile departure. Trent Brown leaving New England after the 2023 season became a virtual lock as the campaign unfolded. The only uncertainty was where the veteran offensive tackle would wind up, and he found his new home Tuesday. Brown, who played four seasons with the […]

The Patriots have taken some flak for their inability to land a game-changing wide receiver this offseason, but it hasn’t been for a lack of trying. New England appeared to be in on Calvin Ridley until the very end, but he ultimately chose to sign with the Tennessee Titans. Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Mike Evans […]

The Patriots have a potentially franchise-altering decision to make with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and they reportedly won’t be leaving any stone unturned this week or next.

The Boston Bruins handled business Tuesday night when the Ottawa Senators came to town. All-Star forward David Pastrnak had a big hand in that as he recorded his second hat trick of the season, which is also career hat trick No. 17. For more, check out the video above for the Ford F-150 Final Five […]

A Patriots release at the turn of the new NFL year set the stage for a reunion in Baltimore. New England last Thursday released Chris Board, a talented special teams player who signed a two-year deal with the Patriots last year. Bill Belichick once labeled the 28-year-old as “the best special teams player” New England […]

Patrice Bergeron is enjoying more time with his family in his life after the NHL, but the former Boston Bruins captain does miss one aspect of the game. Bergeron spoke with The Athletic’s Fluto Shinzawa and opened up in an interview published Wednesday about his life in retirement. The 38-year-old also revealed details of his […]

Patrice Bergeron isn’t returning to the NHL, and he sounds quite OK with that. The former Bruins center called it a career in July, ending a wonderful 19-year career that should earn him a spot in the Hockey Hall of Fame in a few years. The toll of playing two decades at the highest level […]
