FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots were the surprise of the 2025 season, riding the consistency of quarterback Drake Maye and a stingy defense to a 14-3 record in the regular season and a run to the Super Bowl following back-to-back 4-13 finishes.It was all that coach Mike Vrabel could have asked for in his first season with the team, which established a new culture for a franchise used to playing deep into the postseason that had stumbled in the final seasons of Bill Belichick and one-year tenure of Jerod Mayo.The focus for Year 2 and the draft will be fortifying…
Editor’s Note: In the lead-up to the 2026 NFL Draft, Phil Perry is identifying the best fits for the Patriots at each position based on the traits that Mike Vrabel and Eliot Wolf value, as well as intel from coaches and scouts.We’ve already hit on offensive tackles, tight ends, edge defenders, wide receivers, defensive tackles, linebackers, safeties and running backs. Today’s installment: offensive guards. If Mike Vrabel and the Patriots are looking for offensive guard help in the draft, what traits will they be looking for? They used a 2025 first-round pick on an interior lineman they liked well enough…
If there’s one recent play that sums up Trevor Story’s slow slide defensively at shortstop, I’d argue it’s this one from Monday night:Simply put, he doesn’t have the range he once did. It’s not so bad he can’t get to this ball at all, but it’s also slipped enough so that he can’t get to it cleanly and finish off a highlight reel play.Now before we go any further, let’s stop and think about the situation for a moment because the context is important. Garrett Crochet was already in trouble with two runs in and the bases loaded. So, in…
NEW YORK (AP) — As the WNBA is racing through free agency, Commissioner Cathy Engelbert is already looking overseas.Engelbert said before the draft Monday night that the league is looking to play a game outside North America for the first time in 2027. The WNBA expanded to Toronto this season, its first franchise outside the United States.“We’re heavily looking at that,” Engelbert said of playing either an exhibition or regular-season game overseas. “Obviously this year we have the FIBA World Cup. Next year we expect that we’ll do something outside of North America as a true global game.”The league welcomed its 2026 draft class…

The Boston Celtics’ 2025-26 season finale was an ode to the organization’s exceptional player development program. Boston’s “Stay Ready” culture was on full display in its 113-108 win over the Orlando Magic. The C’s sat eight rotation players, including all five starters, but still put on a show against a fully healthy Magic squad. Baylor Scheierman, drafted at the end of the first round in 2024, led the way with a career-high 30 points. Ron Harper Jr., who couldn’t get minutes with Toronto or Detroit, erupted for 27 points just days after having his two-way contract converted to a standard…
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore was placed on probation Tuesday for 18 months for a confrontation with his executive assistant soon after he was fired for having an inappropriate relationship with her.Moore was facing a possible sentence of up to six months in jail after pleading no contest to trespassing and malicious use of a telecom device. But Judge J. Cedric Simpson ordered no time in custody.He said jail wasn’t warranted, though he warned Moore that “all bets are off” if he violates probation. Simpson, too, said his decision was greatly influenced by the ex-coach’s wife, Kelli.Moore, 40, was fired…
This game may have had a totally different outcome if the WooSox simply left fewer men on base, especially later on. A total of 14 were left stranded in the midst of 11 walks by Sounds (Brewers AAA) pitchers. It also didn’t help that the WooSox found themselves quickly down 5-1 due to ineffective starting pitching. To Worcester’s credit, Nashville was equally as abysmal with runners in scoring position; the Sound were held to 3 for 17 in that stat and stranded a dozen. So, in the end, the result was the result due to some early productivity by the…
