SAN JOSE, Calif. — Cooper Kupp’s first foray into NFL free agency ultimately led him to Seattle. But before the veteran wide receiver signed with the Seahawks last spring, he drew interest from their Super Bowl LX opponent, the Patriots. “They had reached out,” Kupp said Wednesday at Seattle’s Super Bowl hotel. “They were interested, then they kind of went dark. So I think there was something there initially, but it never (advanced).” The Super Bowl LVI MVP, who was released by the Los Angeles Rams last March, said he “would have been open” to signing with the Patriots because…
Julie Letai felt like everything was working against her. It started with a torn labrum in her hip that required surgery in October 2024. A rash of other injuries over the course of the year followed for the short-track speedskater from Medfield. Each injury pushed her away from the ice for weeks at a time. That fueled questions in her own mind if she would be ready for the World Cup trials this past September, an event she needed to perform well at to keep her Olympic dream alive. And deep down, Letai felt her chance of making the 2026…
The New England Patriots are back in the Super Bowl, and this time around, they have been led there by second-year quarterback Drake Maye. In his first full season as a starter, Maye has helped the Pats author a stunning turnaround, and he has amassed quite a few fans, with that group including legendary tight end Rob Gronkowski. During his time in the league, Gronkowski helped New England win its three most recent Super Bowls. He spent his entire career catching passes from Tom Brady, so it’s safe to say he knows what a successful NFL quarterback looks like. Unsurprisingly,…
NBA trade season is in full swing, and the Boston Celtics are in the thick of the action. The Celtics made a significant trade Tuesday, reportedly sending Anfernee Simons and a second-round pick to the Chicago Bulls in return for big man Nikola Vucevic and a second-round pick. But president of basketball operations Brad Stevens still has time to make more moves before the NBA trade deadline on Thursday at 3 p.m. ET. After Boston’s win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night, Celtics Insider Chris Forsberg broke down the additional flexibility Stevens and Co. gained by trimming about $6…
By MAE ANDERSON, Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — As Super Bowl Sunday approaches, the battle off the field for advertisers to win over 120 million-plus viewers will be just as heated as the rivalry between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. Dozens of advertisers are pulling out all the stops for Super Bowl 60, airing Sunday on NBC. They’re hoping that audiences tuning in will remember their brand names as they stuff their ads with celebrities ranging from Kendall Jenner (Fanatics Sportsbook) to George Clooney (Grubhub), tried-and-true ad icons like the Budweiser Clydesdales, and nostalgia for well-known movie…
DALLAS (AP) — Jaylen Brown had 33 points and 11 rebounds, and the Boston Celtics beat Dallas 110-100 on Tuesday night, overcoming another stellar showing from Cooper Flagg and handing the Mavericks their season-worst fifth consecutive loss.Flagg scored 36 points in the rookie No. 1 pick’s first meeting with the team he grew up watching because Boston was the closest NBA city to his hometown, about 200 miles south of Newport, Maine.It was Flagg’s third consecutive 30-point game, five nights after the 19-year-old set the NBA scoring record for a teenager with 49 against Charlotte. The former Duke standout had nine rebounds…
After spending 20 seasons with the New England Patriots and winning six Super Bowls with them, you’d think Tom Brady would be rooting for them in the Super Bowl, especially when they’re coached by one of his former teammates. Apparently, however, Brady is not. “I don’t have a dog in the fight in this one,” Brady said on Monday’s episode of the Let’s Go! podcast. Obviously, Patriots fans and the local media aren’t too happy about that. Boston sports talk radio hosts Mike Felger and Tony Massarotti of 98.5 The Sports Hub have been especially critical of Brady’s comments, calling…
It’s been three months since any action took place on the baseball field, and we’re still one month away from meaningful baseball (the world classic variety) kicking off. If you’re like me, you’ve had enough of the contract talk, trade speculation, and the word “control” and want to get back to the on-field action.I got the itch and wanted to break down some tape, so here’s a look at the Red Sox’s newest starting pitcher, Ranger Suarez, attacking hitters from this past season.We’ll start with Jose Altuve. He’s super aggressive at the plate, swinging at the first pitch about half…
There’s a school vacation week bearing down on us and for the first time in what feels like a very long time, New England is the place to be for snow. Social media sites are peppered with western skiers looking for advice on where and how to ski the east. Hotels are booking up and with no warm spell in sight before that vacation week begins, it promises to be a ski week to remember. Except this: You never planned a trip. You dragged your feet on purchasing advance tickets. So while all that beautiful and near totally natural snow…
