Who is he and where did he come from?He’s Tyler Samaniego, and he has only a slightly easier name to pronounce than Jhostynxon “The Password” Garcia, whom he was traded for along with Johan Oviedo. Samaniego has not yet cracked a Major League roster, but his status as a lefty arm with a 98 mile per hour fastball on a roster of guys that are, well, not that, coupled with the fact that the Red Sox traded for him knowing they’d need to carry him on the 40-man roster, as Pittsburgh protected him from the Rule 5 draft, leads to…

For the first time in his career, Stefon Diggs is going to the Super Bowl. The New England Patriots captured their first AFC title in seven years with a 10-7 win over the Denver Broncos. After the game, Diggs teared up while reflecting on his season with NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe. While Diggs settled for 17 receiving yards in the AFC Championship Game, he led the Patriots with 85 catches and 1,013 receiving yards after returning from a torn ACL. The 32-year-old credited Drake Maye, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and head coach Mike Vrabel for making his comeback possible. “I’m…
DENVER — The cash and cap space used to sign Patriots defensive tackles Milton Williams and Christian Barmore was money well spent. The Patriots are bound for Super Bowl LX, and it’s fair to say they got there on the strength of their defensive line by stopping the run and forcing mistakes out of opposing quarterbacks by bringing unrelenting pressure. Barmore forced a punt late in the first half of the Patriots’ 10-7 win over the Broncos with a key second-down sack on quarterback Jarrett Stidham. Williams led the team in pressures and registered two QB hits. But it wasn’t…

ARLINGTON — Linemates Kevin Andriolo and Jason Shreenan had the exact same reaction almost in unison Sunday afternoon at Ed Burns Arena. Tewksbury boys hockey star senior Tyler Bourgea collected the puck out of a faceoff in the slot, moved to his backhand as bait, quickly pulled the puck across to his right in a snap, and tucked it just inside the post past a kick-save atttempt. It was his sixth goal of the game, less than two minutes into the third period, powering the No. 7 Redmen (12-0-1) past No. 22 Weymouth, 7-3, in the first round of the…
The Bruins are finding ways to win. They are 9-2 in the month of January, which has put them back in the playoff bracket as the second wild card, one point behind the Montreal Canadiens, who they vanquished in opportunistic style Saturday night with three power-play goals. A week that started with a lopsided loss to the Dallas Stars wound up as a pretty decent week and has coach Marco Sturm feeling pretty good about his team with wins over the Habs and Golden Knights. “We can play against any team,” said Sturm on Saturday. “After Dallas, a real playoff…
Much has been made of the New England Patriots’ schedule this season. After going 4-13 last year, they were gifted one of the easiest schedules in recent NFL history. Under new head coach Mike Vrabel, the Patriots reloaded and took full advantage, going 14-3 during the regular season and tying for the best record in the NFL. The last time they won that many games during the regular season in 2016, they went on to win the Super Bowl. New England earned the No. 2 seed in the AFC behind one of the best offenses and defenses in football this…
FOXBORO — The Patriots have done an about-face this postseason when it comes to the levels of aggressiveness their defense has exhibited at the line of scrimmage. “Just trying to affect the quarterback,” head coach Mike Vrabel said when asked about his team’s increasing affinity for blitz calls. “Trying to figure out how we need to affect the quarterback each week.” Against the Chargers, the Patriots blitzed Justin Herbert on 19 dropbacks and held up to 2.7 yards per play on those calls. Against the Texans, it was more of the same, blitzing CJ Stroud 18 times and allowing just…
A Broncos reserve linebacker won’t be escaping his eponymous link to one of the craziest Massachusetts murder cases that has surfaced in decades. Football heads on social media couldn’t help but notice the name, Karene Reid, on the Denver roster ahead of Sunday’s AFC title game between the Patriots and Broncos. That’s correct. Reid, a backup inside linebacker, has a nearly identical name to Karen Read, the Massachusetts woman who was acquitted at a trial last summer of murdering her Boston Police officer boyfriend, John O’Keefe. MLFootball, an X account that shares NFL content and has over 420,000 followers, posted…
