FOXBORO — Stefon Diggs doesn’t mince words when he’s motivating his Patriots teammates. After Mack Hollins had the ball punched out of his hands by Jets cornerback Brandon Stephens midway through the fourth quarter of Thursday night’s 27-14 Patriots win, Diggs walked up to his fellow veteran wide receiver and said sarcastically, “Well, it’s nice to (expletive) catch the ball.” Hollins enjoys it. It shows that Diggs holds him to a high standard. He believes it helps him perform better, and he dishes it right back. “Because we’re both at the age we are, the expectation is (that) it don’t…

The New England Patriots continue to find ways to win, and they did so again on Thursday, defeating the New York Jets 27-14. A key factor in their success was the stellar performance of quarterback Drake Maye. Maye completed 25 out of 34 passes, collecting 281 yards and tossing one touchdown. Throughout the night, he consistently displayed his talent with some impressive throws. Many people are impressed by Maye’s performance this season, and one of them is rookie left tackle Will Campbell, who thinks Maye is one of the best in the league. “I’m biased but I think he’s the…
By the end of the summer, Kristian Campbell was largely a forgotten man, which is both a testament to how fast things can change in baseball and how crazy the roster turnover was with the 2025 Red Sox. But now is probably a good time to remember that the Red Sox believed in him enough in April to hand him a $60 million contract and that he’s likely going to be in the mix in some capacity going forward.For this reason, Tim Healey’s note about the Red Sox trying to find one set position for Campbell going forward is noteworthy.…
FOXBORO — Before Thursday’s game even kicked off, the chants began echoing around Gillette Stadium. They continued for the next three-plus hours, through the Patriots’ three touchdown drives, their game-clinching kneeldowns and their second-year quarterback’s victorious jog toward the locker room. They drowned out the audio on Amazon Prime’s postgame show, even as their target did his best to downplay them. “M-V-P.” “M-V-P.” “M-V-P.” They were chanting, of course, for Drake Maye, who boosted his legitimate MVP candidacy with another standout performance in a 27-14 victory over the Jets. In the first primetime home game of his young career, Maye…
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Patriots coach Mike Vrabel made sure his team took time to celebrate the narrow victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.He also made it clear that it would be more muted than normal with only three days to recover before hosting the AFC East-rival New York Jets (2-7) on Thursday night.“This is the all-hands-on-deck week,” Vrabel said.By Tuesday it was evident that message had been received by New England (8-2) when Vrabel offered to take 25 minutes off a team meeting to allow his players more time to recoup. He also set practice for inside the team’s…

The Boston Red Sox added Garrett Crochet through a trade last season, but may have to try to find pitching on the open market this offseason. After trading away two top 100 prospects and two top 30 prospects to land Crochet, Craig Breslow may not want to dip into the farm system again. During the general manager meetings in Las Vegas, Breslow noted that if the Red Sox add a starting pitcher, it will be someone the team can use at the front end of their rotation. However, he also made some comments indicating that he may prefer a free…
BRIDGEWATER — Down two goals entering the fourth quarter of Thursday’s Div. 4 state semifinal at Bridgewater-Raynham High School, most of what the Dennis-Yarmouth field hockey team talked about was that winning or losing didn’t matter much. Just try. The tight-knit group rode a last-ditch effort all the way to an extraordinary comeback, capped by senior Alaina Manuel’s game-winner in overtime to lift the No. 2 Dolphins (17-5) to a stunning 4-3 win over No. 3 Cohasset. They advance to play No. 5 Frontier for the state title in their first final appearance since 2018, Saturday at Burlington High School…
The Celtics are in the process of forming a new identity. Boston fans are getting to know the likes of Anfernee Simons, Josh Minott, Luka Garza, Chris Boucher and Hugo Gonzalez while seeing if bench players like Jordan Walsh can carve out bigger roles. But you’d forgive us if we weren’t a bit curious about our old friends. The Celtics parted ways with four members of their 2023-24 championship squad this past offseason — Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers, Kristaps Porzingis to the Atlanta Hawks, Al Horford to the Golden State Warriors and Luke Kornet to the San…
At this stage, only 64 teams still have a shot of reaching Gillette. That doesn’t mean the path will get any easier, however. Many great programs have reached this point in past years, only to see their championship hopes evaporate. Which standouts in the field will likely have the best chance to keep rolling during the Round of 8? Nearly all of the candidates won their tournament openers, some more convincingly than others. The ones who didn’t (Catholic Memorial and Bishop Feehan) each had bye weeks in a shrunken Div. 2 field (which only had 14 teams). 1. St. John’s…
