New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is one of the biggest stories in the NFL entering Week 8. With his torrid six-game stretch of performances with at least 200 passing yards and a plus-100 passer rating while being under 24 years old, Maye has joined some exclusive company. The second-year pro is not only making Patriots history, but has officially entered the MVP conversation near the midway point of the season as well. Patriots beat writer Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald highlighted what he called the most “absurd” stat for Maye through seven weeks on Friday. Maye has a…

Cooperstown, New York is a wonderful little town. Look at this place! Give me this lake, a small sailboat, some beer and I’d gladly spend the whole summer there.But Cooperstown, New York has absolutely nothing — NOTHING — to do with the history of baseball.You know what does have something to do with the history of baseball? The campus of Northeastern University, which hosted the first World Series game ever played at the late Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds.It has never ceased to amaze me that, in a city packed with tourists leading bored kids from one historic site to another,…
FOXBORO — Since returning to game action in Week 4, Christian Gonzalez’s play has matched his personality. Quiet. Gonzalez has made 19 tackles and just one pass breakup, albeit an important one on third down that forced the Bills to kick a field goal late in the fourth quarter of the Patriots’ biggest win of the season. Since then, Gonzalez failed to get his hands on the ball and allowed a few catches in man-to-man coverage. But his position coach, Justin Hamilton, believes he’ll turn the corner soon. “It, to me, feels like he’s starting to settle into having his…

FOXBORO — Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has an unheralded but important role within the offense. Hollins has not been as productive as fellow starters Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte, but his leadership and blocking ability have undoubtedly helped the offense. Hollins is one of the more unique players in the NFL. He walks around barefoot, believes house cats steal your soul and posts educational videos on social media about home maintenance, automobile service and world history. Learn more about Hollins in this week’s New Patriots installment. Q: What’s your first football memory? I watched Barry Sanders highlights back in…

Mookie Betts has accomplished a lot during his 12-year MLB career with the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. The eight-time All-Star has won three World Series, an MVP and six Gold Gloves, guaranteeing himself a plaque in Cooperstown after he retires. While he has plenty of impressive seasons on his resume, one in particular from his Red Sox tenure stands out. “I would say ‘18 was probably the most satisfying year. Hope I can do that again,” Betts told WEEI’s Rob Bradford during Thursday’s World Series Media Day. After Bradford asked a follow-up question, Betts explained why that…
The Boston Red Sox have a math problem. Alex Cora’s club enters the 2025-26 offseason with four starting-caliber outfielders — Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu and Roman Anthony — for just three spots. All four players are under team control through at least the 2028 season. One potential solution is moving Rafaela to second base, but that’s far from ideal: Rafaela is one of the best defensive center fielders in baseball (his 21 outs above average ranked second in MLB last season), and the Red Sox were 12-12 in the 24 games he played at second in 2025. Another…
With the game in their reach at the start of the third period yet again, the Bruins failed to make the right plays at winning time on Thursday night at the Garden. Yet again. The B’s coughed up three goals in the third period, plus an empty-netter, and fell to the Anaheim Ducks, 7-5, absorbing their sixth straight defeat in excruciating fashion. Again. With the score tied in the third, the B’s gave up two goals before storming back to tie it quickly, only to allow the soul-sucking GWG less than a minute later. “Embarrassing” was the word of the…
ABINGTON – Whenever bitter rivals meet, it’s common to see nail-biters. Abington’s football squad made sure nothing was left in doubt Thursday night. Junior quarterback Jack Reilly turned in a superb performance, completing 11-of-12 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown as the Green Wave (6-1) captured at least a share of the South Shore League (Sullivan) title with a 32-7 drubbing of longtime nemesis Rockland. “This win means a lot,” Reilly said. “This means a lot to the town, to my classmates, everyone. My brothers, they’ve all lost to Rockland, so it’s good to get it back here.” Entering…
