FOXBORO — Patriots fans and fantasy managers alike had been clamoring for a TreVeyon Henderson breakout game. It finally happened for the rookie running back Sunday, when he carried the ball 10 times for 75 yards, flashing the explosive ability he promised during his Ohio State career in the 32-13 win. It wasn’t a perfect performance — Henderson capped the game off by losing a fumble on the goal line in his final touch — but the rookie was still a bright spot in the 32-13 win. “I know the coaches, they gave me a lot more opportunity this week,”…

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, in his first public comments since the arrests of Portland coach Chauncey Billups and Miami guard Terry Rozier on gambling-related charges, said Friday night that he was stunned by the indictments that have rocked the league.“My initial reaction was I was deeply disturbed,” Silver said on Amazon Prime Video, during the streaming service’s first broadcast — Boston at New York. “There’s nothing more important to the league and its fans than the integrity of the competition. I had a pit in my stomach. It was very upsetting.”Such was a sentiment shared by many around the league on Friday, one…

The upcoming baseball offseason promises to be a thrilling one, but until the end of the World Series, there’s not much Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, or any other major league team’s top baseball operations executive, can do. But what if you could? If you ran the Red Sox, what would you do? ‘Play general manager for a day,’ our editor told me and Herald colleague Mac Cerullo. (Or in Boston’s case, chief baseball officer.) ‘Don’t limit’ to roster moves was the directive. First, some ground rules. In order to truly wield unfettered power, we must suspend the…
FOXBORO — Patriots defensive end Keion White has gone from starting to a healthy scratch.

Boston Bruins forward Viktor Arvidsson got the money off his back on Saturday. The Bruins traded for Arvidsson in the offseason to add more secondary scoring to the lineup. Through nine games, Arvidsson had yet to score, despite having plenty of chances. On Saturday, with less than six minutes to go in the first period with Boston trailing the Colorado Avalanche 1-0, Arvidsson scored his first of the season. The forward scored from behind the net as he shot it off the back of Scott Wedgewood. Although it wasn’t the prettiest goal, Arvidsson said, getting his first of the season…
2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor NutshellSheer dominance just about every step of the way. An ace the Red Sox should be excited to have locked up for years to come.How much more could Boston have asked out of Garrett Crochet in his inaugural season with the Red Sox? It goes beyond the way he anchored the top of the rotation from start to finish — emphasis on start to finish. Throwing over 200 innings for the first time in his big league career all while staying healthy is a feat in and of itself. It’s something the Red Sox have been…
What would I do if I ran the Red Sox for a day? This week my editor asked my Herald colleague Gabrielle Starr and I what we’d do if we were put in charge. Would we swing a certain trade? Would we try and bring in a particular player? Would we shake things up in the front office or force through some fan-friendly changes? Let me tell you, I have some thoughts. For the sake of this exercise, we’ll assume that I’ve been granted dictatorial powers by the baseball gods. So if I want something done, it’s getting done without…
