Despite having the NBA’s third-best record at the All-Star Break, the Boston Celtics have only one All-Star representative this year: MVP candidate Jaylen Brown. Several of Brown’s Celtics teammates were snubbed, including Payton Pritchard and Derrick White. They’ve both stepped up in Jayson Tatum’s absence and are established star players, but neither has made an All-Star team before. White, who’s 31 and in his ninth NBA season, opened up about his latest All-Star miss on his “White Noise” podcast. “I feel fine. I didn’t really expect to make it. And then, obviously, there’s been a lot of great players who…
The New England Patriots had a great season in 2025. They exceeded everyone’s expectations and came up only one win short of winning the franchise’s seventh Lombardi Trophy. The Super Bowl 60 loss to the Seattle Seahawks did expose some roster weaknesses that need to be addressed this offseason. Most notably, how should the Patriots address the offensive line after this group — especially rookies Will Campbell and Jared Wilson — struggled in the Super Bowl? On the latest episode of the Next Pats Podcast, Patriots Insider Phil Perry unveiled his five-point plan to upgrade the Patriots roster during this…
It was a moment that had been brewing for 43 years. Lunenburg girls’ track coach Steve Kyajohnian has led the program for the last 43 years and had some groups nearly secure a state championship. However, the title had never come home to the Central Mass program and it was going to take some late heroics on Saturday afternoon to finally get it done. The Blue Knights won the final two events of the day, the 4×800 meter relay and the 4×400 meter relay, to earn 20 points and finally claim the top spot in Division 5. “This is unbelievable…
One of the most fun things about spring training is the annual emergence of one young player who makes the whole camp his own. Two years ago it was Ceddanne Rafaela. Last year it was Marcelo Mayer. This year could it be Kristian Campbell, someone who has already won a player of the month award at the MLB level? After a strange and ultimately disappointing rookie year, Campbell is back trying to find a place for himself in the big leagues. And while he admits that he was nervous last year, he thinks this spring is going to be different.…

When last season ended it wasn’t a secret what the Red Sox needed to do over the winter. The offense lacked a power bat, and chief baseball officer Craig Breslow wasn’t shy about that being among the club’s top priorities. While the Red Sox roster has improved as a whole, the club failed in that pursuit. The Red Sox did not land either of the top power hitters on the free agent market — Pete Alonso signed with the Baltimore Orioles and Kyle Schwarber returned to the Philadelphia Phillies — and Alex Bregman wound up leaving to join the Chicago…

A former Patriots assistant coach has broken his silence after landing in hot water for comments he made about how he believes college football players should balance family dynamics and performance. Joe Judge, an Ole Miss assistant coach who previously spent time in the NFL with New England, received heat as he tried to argue for a sixth year of eligibility for quarterback Trinidad Chambliss. The former Patriots assistant connected the importance of sleep with a controversial example about “pregnant significant others.” Chambliss did not take a single snap in the 2022 season at Ferris State due to sleep apnea…
