Jaylen Brown believes there have been times when he’s been underappreciated. He doesn’t appreciate the negative connotation that comes with that word, though. “At times it’s been that,” Brown told NBC Sports Boston’s Michael Holley during an exclusive interview as part of our 7 Days of Jaylen Brown content series. “But that comes with the decisions that you make. “In order to be a winner, you’ve got to sacrifice to be a part of the team, and nothing’s wrong with that. People make this seem like it’s a complaint or I’m complaining. No, I’ll make that decision every time over.…

John Cena continued his farewell tour, wrestling at WWE’s Crown Jewel event in Australia on Oct. 11. Yet this particular match was as much about Cena as it was his opponent – AJ Styles. In the moments leading up to its start, a raw emotion filled the air when Cena had the ring announcer read a special introduction he had written for Styles. “It definitely caught me off guard,” admitted Styles. “When I heard ‘The definition of Total Nonstop Action,’ I thought to myself, ‘Wait a minute.’ He took this from just being about John to making it about John…
Aside from that one moment, when Drake Maye was thrown backwards, slammed his helmet on the turf in the third quarter, lingered and shook his head, Sunday was everything the Patriots could have wanted. Their run game enjoyed a needed revival. Maye made history. Vrabel’s defense steadied, again, after getting out-flanked in the first quarter. And Vrabel got to leave town with a win and a giant grin, as the Tennessee crowd chanted his name less than two years after the Titans fired him. But back to that one moment. Maye may have set a franchise record with his completion…
With the NFL season nearing the halfway mark, the New England Patriots are in great shape. They’re 5-2, lead the AFC East and haven’t lost since Week 3. While Drake Maye’s breakout season has given the Patriots’ offense a spark, their defense has stepped up as well. It’s been one of the best units in the NFL this year, ranking fifth in points per game allowed and 11th in yards allowed per game. The secondary has struggled a bit under new defensive coordinator Terrell Williams, but New England’s run defense has been outstanding, ranking third in rushing yards per game,…
So who are you rooting for? I have a soft spot for the city of Toronto in general and Blue Jays fans in particular, even though an underage teen vomited Labatt Blue all over my back on my first visit to the Rogers Centre back in 2010. And watching a packed and raucous Toronto crowd with the roof closed stirs up memories of their early-90s dominance, which represent some of my earliest baseball memories.But the Mariners, of course, have never even been to the World Series, let alone won two of them, one via an iconic homer. We’re talking about…
The Red Sox have always ranked among the league’s heavyweights in terms of financial resources, but throughout the club’s recent five-year rebuild, ownership seemed content to hold back. The Red Sox spoke about sustainability while accepting mediocrity, and every winter they largely sat on the sideline, much to the frustration of the club’s fans. Last winter that approach began to change. In 2025 the Sox finally began acting with urgency. The club signed Alex Bregman to a deal valued at $40 million per season, acquired Garrett Crochet in a blockbuster trade and gave him the second largest contract to a…
FOXBORO, MASS. (WHDH) – Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is showing no signs of the so-called “sophomore slump,” in fact, the 23-year-old out of University of North Carolina is on a roll.On Sunday, Maye threw for 222 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Patriots beat the Tennessee Titans 31-13 in head coach Mike Vrabel’s first game against the franchise that fired him in January 2024.“Maye, he’s looking crazy. The deep ball looking perfect, he’s so confident, it’s great,” said Jeremy Gansey, a Patriots fan from Chatham. “He looks like a different player out there. He looks like he’s seeing the field better, making…
In their magical season of comebacks, the Toronto Blue Jays had one more up their sleeve on Monday night. After finishing at the bottom of the AL East last season, the Blue Jays improved their record by 20 games and finished first this year, leading MLB in comeback wins (49). It was their first division title since 2015 and most wins (94) since 1993 — the last time they won it all. Toronto steamrolled the New York Yankees in the ALDS, but ran into a much tougher Seattle Mariners team in the ALCS. The Blue Jays surprisingly lost the first…

Three years ago, the New England Revolution were as close to the top as they’ve ever been. The club broke the MLS points record as 2021 Supporters’ Shield winners, had the winningest professional coach in U.S. soccer history on their sideline, and created a steady pipeline of proven players to replace talent being sold to European clubs for millions in transfer fees. Much has changed since, starting with the obvious: Bruce Arena resigned as head coach and sporting director in September 2023 following a lengthy investigation into alleged unprofessional conduct, leaving a void the club has yet to successfully fill.…
