KANSAS CITY — As anyone who has visited Fenway Park can appreciate, there are some historic venues that every sports fan should try to visit. Places like Wrigley Field in Chicago, Lambeau Field in Green Bay, and if you’re a college basketball fan, Allen Fieldhouse at the University of Kansas. Needless to say, when news broke this past summer that UConn and Kansas men’s basketball had agreed to a home-and-home and that my Huskies would be flying out to Lawrence in December, I knew I had to be there. Upon booking my flights, I quickly realized the trip presented another bucket…

The Red Sox just further bolstered their starting pitching depth with the acquisition of Johan Oviedo from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Jeff Passan had the news earlier this evening:One of the first things you’ll notice about Oviedo is his size.

He had Tommy John in December 2023, and then had a right lat strain this…

House Republican leaders had planned to push the bill, known as the SCORE Act, to a final vote this week. But those plans were abruptly scrapped after a procedural vote to advance the bill earlier this week nearly failed. “There were a few members that had some questions and wanted to know more…

More observers are beginning to take the New England Patriots seriously as legitimate Super Bowl contenders. The Patriots earned their 10th straight victory on Monday night, jumping to 11-2 with a 33-15 win over the New York Giants. Tom Brady placed them atop his power rankings, and he’s not the only former NFL player who feels they’re currently the league’s most impressive team. Marcus Spears commended New England’s steady dominance on ESPN’s “First Take.” “The team that you’ve seen consistency from is in the AFC, and they play at Gillette Stadium,” Spears said on Wednesday morning. “That’s the one team…
The Boston Bruins have exceeded expectations to this point in the 2025-26 NHL season. Many experts and analytics models predicted the B’s would miss the playoffs for the second year in a row and possibly even finish among the bottom 10 teams again. While that scenario could still play out, making the playoffs is actually a realistic goal for this group. The Bruins are one of three teams tied for third place in the Atlantic Division. The early-season struggles of the Toronto Maple Leafs and two-time defending champion Florida Panthers have made the division race pretty competitive. First place and…
