It’s hard to believe that the Red Sox are about one quarter as many years removed from the 2004 World Series as the total length of the curse that was broken that year. A huge difference, of course, was the addition of three more trophies. With the announcement of Jon Lester being enshrined the the Red Sox and Cubs’ respective Halls of Fame and his pending addition to the Hall of Fame ballot that will come out later this year for the Class of 2027, let’s look back at the ‘06 and ‘16 teams before 2026 begins.The 2005 season ended…

For the first time in his career, Jaylen Brown will start an NBA All-Star Game. The Celtics wing was voted as one of the five Eastern Conference starters for the 2026 All-Star Game in Los Angeles, joining Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, New York’s Jalen Brunson, Detroit’s Cade Cunningham and Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey. It’s the fifth career All-Star selection for the 29-year-old Brown, who’s led Boston to the second-best record in the East while longtime co-star Jayson Tatum recovers from Achilles surgery. Brown ranks fourth in the NBA in scoring at 29.7 points per game, trailing only Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and…
By MARTHA BELLISLE The U.S. has never won an Olympic medal in biathlon, the only winter sport where that’s the case. The drought could come to an end next month at the Winter Olympics. The team brought on Campbell Wright, a rising star and dual citizen from New Zealand who combined fast skiing and precision shooting to win two world championship silver medals last year and has had strong results this season. In addition, the team has a homecourt advantage, of sorts: Their Italian head coach, Armin Auchentaller, grew up in Antholz, the village that’s hosting the Olympic biathlon competitions.…

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — One interception after another, C.J. Stroud dug Houston into a deeper hole.And this time the Texans’ defense couldn’t save them.A week after Stroud committed three turnovers in a wild-card victory over the Steelers, the Houston quarterback threw four interceptions in the first half on Sunday to hand New England a 28-16 victory and a spot in the AFC championship game.“Ball security is everything, especially the way our defense has played all year, and it’s something that I’ve done a pretty good job of up to this point,” Stroud said. “I think my whole team trusts me. They believe…
Patriots rookie left tackle Will Campbell is tougher on himself than anybody else. And following his shaky performance against the vaunted Houston Texans’ defense at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, Campbell shouldered blame for his performance and acknowledged he expects more out of himself. “I need to play better,” Campbell said after the 28-16 victory in the AFC Divisional Round. “I hold myself to a higher standard than what I put out tonight.” Texans pass-rushers Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter, a First Team All-Pro and Second Team All-Pro selection, respectively, had their way with Campbell. They combined to finish with…
FOXBORO — A lot of experts picked the Houston Texans to upset the New England Patriots in Sunday’s AFC Divisional Round matchup at Gillette Stadium. This confidence in the Texans largely stemmed from their defense, which ranked as one of the NFL’s best in the regular season and dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Wild Card Round. The players on the New England Patriots defense heard all the praise for the Texans defense this week, and it motivated them to show everyone that they, too, have an elite unit. And after another dominant playoff performance in a 28-16 win,…
FOXBORO — A Texans defensive back said he always wanted to win with New England after the Patriots ended Houston’s season Sunday and punched their ticket to the AFC Championship. Myles Bryant did not show up in the stat sheet in Sunday’s 28-16 divisional-round loss to his former team, but the cornerback said he looks fondly back at his time with the Patriots, where he began his career. “I always wanted to be able to win here,” Bryant told the Herald postgame. “We weren’t able to in my four years here, but I learned a lot just from the guys,…
FOXBORO — Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud said he wishes he had done things differently on a play that shifted the momentum entirely in Sunday’s AFC divisional loss to the Patriots. Houston briefly gained control in the second quarter after Stroud connected with receiver Christian Kirk for a 10-yard touchdown to put the Texans ahead 10-7. Minutes later, after forcing the Patriots to punt, Stroud looked to continue finding holes in the Patriots defense. That momentum, though, reversed completely, as the third-year quarterback faced heavy pressure from Patriots linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson. Instead of throwing it away or taking a sack, Stroud…
