Sometimes, the story just writes itself. As another day passed without the Patriots signing Christian Gonzalez to a contract extension, the star cornerback spoke to reporters on the upper practice fields behind Gillette Stadium. Yet that press conference was interrupted due to the overwhelming sound coming from the lower practice field, where Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s helicopter was coming down for a landing. In the perpetual race of the millionaire players against the billionaire owners, the descent of Kraft’s helicopter while Gonzalez fielded questions about his contract status did seem on the nose. Before that helicopter interrupted him, Gonzalez admitted…

This morning, Bob wrote about the coming middle infield roster crunch, which is the most difficult roster issue the Sox will have to navigate down the stretch of the season. By comparison, the outfield issue seems relatively straightforward. Jarren Duran has been one of the worst hitters in baseball all season. Roman Anthony is not one of the worst hitters in baseball and has flashed the potential to be one of the best. Seems like the logical move is to bench Duran and put Anthony out in left, no? Not exactly. “Reading between the lines, it seems like Boston plans…

Training camp, as we know it, is over. Fans are no longer filling the bleachers and ramps behind Gillette Stadium, as the team turns a corner and heads toward the regular season. And with one preseason game remaining on the schedule, the Patriots got back to work on the lower practice field, adjacent to their new training center, on Monday. The most notable aspect of the day was the return of cornerback Christian Gonzalez. The 24-year-old last practiced on Aug. 10, suffering an unspecified injury late in the session, according to the team. He missed the Patriots’ joint practice with…
The New England Patriots are trading Wide Receiver Kayshon Boutte to the Houston Texans in exchange for Safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round draft pick, 7NEWS sources confirmed Monday.The third-year wide receiver, who was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, will now take his talents to another AFC contending team. Boutte became a popular downfield target for Quarterback Drake Maye, but with the off-season additions of Wide Receivers AJ Brown and Romeo Doubs, his time in Foxboro comes to an end in the final year of his rookie contract. The 24-year-old finishes…
The Red Sox and Marlins played a tense, back-and-forth, entertaining game that our boys won, against a Cy Young Award winner still in his prime, in front of a crowd that the Marlins announcers nonetheless said was Boston supporters by more than half. Which okay but we all know how Florida works you’re the Marlins, even if somehow, this year, less so, and you’re above .500, and life is relatively good. So good that the game enters the 9th inning tied 2-2. It enters the bottom half down 4-2, because this was a textbook 2026 Red Sox game (complimentary), and…

NEW YORK (AP) — Roger Federer is actually nervous about his tennis.The man who won five straight U.S. Open championships during the height of his dominance of the sport is set to play again in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday night for the first time since 2019. And he’s not quite sure how the game that perhaps nobody ever made look more elegant will appear now.“I haven’t played a singles set in, I don’t know, (Hubert) Hurkacz at Wimbledon maybe, so it’s been five years,” Federer said Monday, referring to his 2021 quarterfinal loss in his last Grand Slam match. “I…
The New England Patriots secured a comeback win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Saturday’s preseason matchup, but head coach Mike Vrabel is more focused on the bigger picture for 2026. Positional depth is an obvious concern, particularly on defense, and it became even more glaring with the backups in during the first half of Saturday’s game. The Eagles’ run game steamrolled New England’s defensive front on their first touchdown drive of the night, and the linebacker position was again exposed as a legitimate area of concern. Vrabel called it “dogsh— defense,” and he lamented his team’s lack of depth when…
