FOXBORO — Countless MVP chants reigned down on quarterback Drake Maye in Sunday night’s 16-3 playoff win over the Chargers, so that must make the Patriots’ defense the MVU. Because the defense, not the offense, was the most valuable unit in the wild-card round win. The defense put Justin Herbert in a blender, leaving him battered and bruised by the end of the fourth quarter. The Chargers quarterback, who is considered one of the top in the league, couldn’t get comfortable behind an offensive line that features backups at both tackle spots. There were questions coming into Sunday night’s game…

The Los Angeles Chargers targeted a running back with their first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and ultimately decided to take North Carolina star Omarion Hampton with the No. 22 overall selection. In doing so, they chose Hampton over some other very talented running backs, including Ohio State’s TreVeyon Henderson. The Patriots were happy to take Henderson with their second-round pick at No. 38 overall, and he has rewarded them with an excellent rookie campaign. Did the Chargers consider Henderson at No. 22? And what did they think of his skill set entering the draft? Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer…

Here we are again. In the ‘Groundhog Day’-esque nightmare that never ends, the Boston Red Sox have once again inexcusably lost out on a top – and very signable – free-agent target. Alex Bregman, who spoke on more than one occasion during his lone Red Sox season about how much he enjoyed being in Boston and on the team, and made it clear he would welcome a long-term extension, will instead be a Chicago Cub for most, if not the rest of his playing career. And the ‘urgent,’ ‘engaged,’ and ‘aggressive’ Red Sox are up a creek without paddle, vessel,…
The New England Patriots are in decent shape for their wild-card matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Jared Wilson (concussion), Harold Landry III (knee), Robert Spillane (ankle) and Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) will all be available for the contest at Gillette Stadium, with the former three returning from injuries that kept them out of regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins. Khyiris Tonga (foot) is the only contributor who was ruled out with an injury, and will be joined on the inactives list by healthy scratches Bradyn Swinson, C.J. Dippre, Jeremiah Webb, Marcus Bryant, Caedan Wallace and Tommy DeVito.…
Hello one and all, and happy Saturday. To those who will be in attendance: happy Fenway Fest to you and yours!I won’t be able to make it this year, sadly, as I missed the boat on ticket inventory.

Stuff like that is what you make it, though, so go out and have a blast.Are you going to Fenway Fest today? If so, keep us in the loop…
Jonathan Aspirot is making his first opportunity in the National Hockey League count. The 26-year-old defenseman, who had toiled for 297 AHL games before getting his first chance at the big time this season with the Bruins, signed a two-year extension with the B’s for an annual salary of $887,500 on Sunday. If Aspirot can continue to play like he has in his first 25 games as an NHLer, the deal is a steal for the B’s. Playing with a mix of urgency and physicality, Aspirot is plus-15 and has two goals and an assist. He has been able to…
BOSTON (AP) — Celtics star Jaylen Brown didn’t hold back while criticizing the officials during a profanity-laced postgame interview after Boston’s 100-95 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night.“I hope somebody can pull up the clips,” he said. “It’s the same s— every time we play a good team. It’s like they refuse to make the calls and they call touch calls on the other end. That’s just extremely frustrating.”He went on to say that he wants someone to watch the videos to see why he was upset.“Somebody please pull it up,” he said, standing in the locker room. “Every…
Will Campbell did more than block for Drake Maye during his rookie season. Even as the No. 4 pick, Campbell wasn’t immune to some playful hazing inside the New England Patriots’ building. Head coach Mike Vrabel tasked the left tackle with an off-field assignment, directing Campbell to address the team with a weekly weather report during Friday meetings. As detailed by NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry, Campbell would inform his teammates of community and player events, the lunch menu and other news along with a weather forecast. The 22-year-old eventually took a liking to Vrabel’s job. “He volunteered me,” Campbell…
