The Boston Celtics have several unknowns heading into the season, including whether forward Jayson Tatum will return from his torn Achilles tendon. Tatum has been making strides in his efforts to return to the court this season. He posted a video on X this Thursday, where he jumped up and executed a two-handed dunk. Reporters asked head coach Joe Mazzulla how he reacted to seeing Tatum dunk and whether he feels more optimistic about Tatum’s return this season. “It doesn’t make me any more optimistic or pessimistic, it is what it is,” Mazzulla said Friday, via Celtics on CLNS. “He’s…

SWAMPSCOTT — On the first chilly Friday night of the fall, Swampscott took down previously undefeated Gloucester, 28-22, at Blocksidge Field. Both teams were different stylistically, with Swampscott (3-2) running a pro-style, spread, four receiver offense, while Gloucester (5-1) ran a smash-mouth, Wing-T offense. Swampscott head coach Peter Bush said his team benefited from a bye week and that helped the Big Blue capture the upset victory. “We had the bye week to get healthy after a tough loss to Melrose,” Bush said. “Credit to Gloucester, they’re very well coached. But we made the plays when we needed to. Still…

The New England Patriots have won each of their past two games against the Carolina Panthers and Buffalo Bills to push their record to 3-2 on the season. A key difference for the Pats in each of these wins has been the presence of superstar cornerback Christian Gonzalez. After earning a spot on the All-Pro Second Team last season, Gonzalez missed the first three games of the year due to a hamstring injury. During his absence, the Patriots struggled to hold up against the pass, as they were forced to play more zone coverage without him. Since returning, Gonzalez has…

You’ve heard all of the different descriptions of this upcoming Celtics season – reset year, gap year, step back, etc. You know that Boston, the NBA’s winningest team over the last decade, is expected to be nowhere near championship contention after losing half of its rotation this offseason. You might have seen that Joe Mazzulla’s squad is a +5000 long shot to win the title (14 teams have better odds), with its over/under wins total pegged at 41.5. That would be the franchise’s fewest victories in a non-COVID-shortened season since 2014-15. It’s the trade-off the Celtics accepted when they nuked…
The New England Patriots made drastic changes this offseason, importing an entirely-new coaching staff under Mike Vrabel and turning over essentially half of its roster with a flurry of free-agent signings and surprise cuts. So, it’s understandable that the Patriots might endure some early-season growing pains as this new group learns to play together. But those growing pains haven’t lasted long: After dropping two of its first three games, Vrabel’s club responded by routing the Carolina Panthers in Week 4 and stunning the Buffalo Bills in a Week 5 upset. In this week’s edition of Irrelevant Questions on the latest…
Stefon Diggs and the Patriots snapped the Bills’ undefeated record on Sunday, making him our VA Hero of the Week. The wide receiver and former Bills player put on a show at Highmark Stadium, going on a heater in the third quarter to catch a clutch 32-yarder from Drake Maye that put the Patriots in scoring position.
