The Bruins tried to give the game away on Saturday, but Jeremy Swayman refused to lose.

Former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and former defensive coordinator Matt Patricia used to walk the same sidelines, but on Saturday, they were huge rivals. Brady, a former Michigan quarterback, and Patricia, the current defensive coordinator at Ohio State, reunited just before the Buckeyes kicked off against the Wolverines. A video showed Patricia and Brady hugging and talking during pregame warmups, and it likely brought back great memories for the two, who were on the Patriots together from 2004 to 2017. Brady likely wasn’t hugging Patricia after the game, since Ohio State defeated Michigan 27-9, limiting the Wolverines to just 163…

The Patriots ruled out rookie left guard Jared Wilson and special-teams captain Brenden Schooler for Monday night. Wilson and Schooler are both dealing with ankle injuries and haven’t practiced this week. Defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga (chest) and outside linebacker Harold Landry III (knee) are both questionable to play. Expect Ben Brown to fill in at left guard in Wilson’s absence. Schooler is one of the top special teams players in the NFL. “Gunners will have to work, and Miles (Battle) will get a shot, and Dell (Pettus) get a shot out there, and everybody else and Woodsy (Charles Woods),” head…

It’s difficult to imagine Ryan Helsley as anything other than a closer. That’s the role that earned Helsley two All-Star appearances and an NL Reliever of the Year trophy with the St. Louis Cardinals, and it’s the role Helsley will reportedly continue in with his new team, the Baltimore Orioles. Interestingly, a report published on Saturday by The Athletic’s Cardinals insider Katie Woo indicated that 15 teams expressed interested in Helsley this offseason, including the Detroit Tigers, who had a different role in mind for Helsley. “Roughly 15 teams checked in on Helsley with various levels of interest, including the…

FOXBORO — Patriots undrafted rookie pass rusher Elijah Ponder has continued to “wow” outside linebackers coach Mike Smith throughout the season. Smith said in August that Ponder, who made the 53-man roster as a rookie free agent out of Cal Poly, was “probably one of the best (undrafted) free agent pickups” he’s ever seen. Ponder has seen his workload increase since the Patriots traded Keion White to the 49ers, and he has two sacks in his last three games. “He’s (a) kid that’s smart for his age. He’s well above a rookie,” Smith said. “He still has got those rookie…
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Patriots have the best record in the NFL, haven’t lost in two months and have only a matchup with one of the league’s worst teams standing between a 10th consecutive win and their bye week.But that doesn’t mean the Patriots (10-2) are taking anything for granted heading into Monday night’s game with the New York Giants (2-10).Part of the reason is that New England will enter the game with two starters missing on an offensive line that has been of the league’s durable stable this season. Rookie left tackle Will Campbell left last week’s win over…
Former NBA player and current analyst Gilbert Arenas is known to speak his mind about a variety of basketball topics, and he’s never been afraid to criticize. However, Arenas no longer says anything negative about former Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers (now with the Milwaukee Bucks), and Arenas explained why recently. Gilbert Arenas explains why he stopped criticizing Doc Rivers. He said that when his son Alijah got into the car accident doc sent him a message , even though Gil had been going in on him on the show for two years he put all of that to…
