A starting five shakeup and a big game from Jaylen Brown couldn’t deliver the Celtics their first victory of the season. With rookie Hugo Gonzalez getting the starting nod over Sam Hauser, Boston built a commanding lead in the opening 10 minutes but couldn’t hold it in a 119-113 loss to the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena. The defeat dropped the Celtics to 0-3. It’s the first time they’ve opened a season with three consecutive losses since 2013. Brown, who was listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, led all scorers with 40 points on 12-of-25 shooting, going 5-for-9…

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye had another outstanding performance on Sunday, beating the Cleveland Browns 32-13. Despite Cleveland’s pass rusher Myles Garrett sacking Maye five times, the 23-year-old quarterback still threw for 282 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Garrett has encountered numerous talented quarterbacks during his nine-year NFL career, and he believes that Maye is on the verge of becoming a great quarterback. “I think he is a great human being,” Garrett said on Sunday, via Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed. “I think he is a good quarterback who is soon to be a great quarterback. I like how…
It wasn’t smooth. They didn’t seem totally comfortable. But, in the end, everything worked out. That’s how it’s gone for the Patriots in 2025. And that’s how it went for them on Sunday. Both in the game itself — where they beat the Browns, 32-13 — but also in the tunnel for pregame player introductions. The Patriots haven’t started a game that way in years. They made it popular to emerge from the locker room as a team after being introduced in that fashion ahead of their first Super Bowl victory 24 years ago. But head coach Mike Vrabel called…
Prior to this month, only six schools in Massachusetts had ever reached 700 total wins with their football programs. That number has now expanded to nine in short order. Originally, Everett, Brockton, Leominster, Waltham, Natick and Salem encompassed the list. Now, add Haverhill, Fitchburg and Northbridge. Haverhill (3-4) became the first this month to shatter the historic barrier. Led by players like Henry Farrell and Michael Bayko, the Hillies made a trip north of the border Oct. 10, and toppled Concord (NH) during a wild 42-35 victory. Rob Pike took over as the program’s coach in 2023, carrying on a…
Through her four years on varsity, Lynnfield senior captain Lily Alves dreamed of what senior night would be like. But the third-year starter’s idea of it shifted a bit just six games into the year, when a concussion — not her first or second — forced the difficult decision that it would be best to lead from the sideline for the rest of the year. Little did the standout midfielder know, though, senior night would end up much more special than she ever pictured. Not only did clearing concussion protocol get her on the field in one final game for…
New England Patriots fans chanted “MVP” for quarterback Drake Maye after his 28-yard dash in the third quarter of the team’s 32-13 win against the Cleveland Browns. Not only are New England fans hoping Maye will snag the NFL MVP, but wide receiver Kayshon Boutte also showed his support for Maye. “We all see it,” Boutte said on Sunday, via Patriots on CLNS. “I think if you look around the league, they’re doing great stuff too. But I mean, I think Drake is doing everything they’re doing. There’s nothing that he’s not doing.” Maye threw for 282 yards on Sunday,…
You’re probably familiar with this story, but just in case it’s foreign, let’s review:About two decades ago, the Red Sox found themselves in a seemingly impossible position during the mid stages of what turned out to be a classic ALCS. To put it bluntly, they needed a comeback never before seen in the long history of the sport to keep their season alive. But against all odds, they made magic happen at Fenway Park and forced a Game 6 on the road. They then won that Game 6 by a score of 4-2, which included a home run from the…
FOXBORO – Forget for a minute the punching bag the Browns have been and seem fated to be so long as they call themselves a football team. This isn’t about the Browns. This isn’t even about Sunday. It’s about the punctuation Sunday became for the first half of a season where the Patriots defense is no longer a punching bag. Not even close. Yes, the same defense Geno Smith carved up for 362 passing yards in the opener. And the one that forgot how to tackle in Miami. And the same defense that, for whatever reason, insists on spotting opponents…
