The New England Patriots likely didn’t expect to be buyers at the NFL trade deadline this season, but they now find themselves in that situation after a hot 4-2 start. If the Patriots want to trade for talent over the next three weeks, they should target offensive weapons like receivers and running backs. The Ringer’s Bill Simmons floated out a trade idea on Monday that would send Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry to New England. “What pick would get their attention?” Simmons said on “The Bills Simmons podcast”, via ClutchPoints Ben Strauss. “Like our second? What if our second…

We mentioned yesterday that, while it’s been reported that most of the Red Sox coaching staff will be retained for 2026, one notable name remains up in the air: that of Jason Varitek. Could that be because he’s on the cusp of becoming a big league manager elsewhere?After serving as the team’s “game plan coordinator” for the past five years, Tek’s contract has run its course and has not yet been renewed. Meanwhile, his wife is posting things on social media that sure make it seem like his time in Boston might be up:There are currently eight teams looking for…
The Celtics will host the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday in their fourth and final preseason game. In Joe Mazzulla’s mind, that’s four too many. Boston’s head coach said Tuesday that he’d prefer for the NBA preseason to feature no games, only practices. “I’d rather have no preseason games and practice every day,” Mazzulla said. “I hate preseason games. You should just have practice for a month straight.” Why? Because coaches naturally have much more control over the structure and tempo of practices, without variables like which players are participating. The Celtics, for example, have yet to face a team this…
By DANIELLA MATAR, Associated Press UDINE, Italy (AP) — Snipers were on the roof of the Israel team hotel in Udine and the Italian city is on maximum alert ahead of a World Cup qualifier on Tuesday. The Israel team bus was escorted to the stadium by 13 police vehicles, including some from the special forces, and several motorbikes. The sound of helicopters surveilling the city has filled the air since the morning, hours before Italy’s match against Israel was set to kick off at Stadio Friuli. Drones could also be spotted in the sky. Police officers patrol outside the…
The Ottawa Senators, a division rival of the Boston Bruins, will be without their captain, Brady Tkachuk, for multiple weeks due to an injury. Senators coach Travis Green announced on Tuesday that Tkachuk will miss a significant amount of time. Tkachuk was cross-checked by Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi in the first period on Monday, and remained in the game. However, he missed the final nine minutes of the game due to the injury, and on Tuesday, he was ruled out for a minimum of four weeks due to a right-hand injury. “He’s going to miss a significant amount of time,” Green…

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The Court of Arbitration for Sport has rejected appeals by the Israel Gymnastics Federation to be allowed to compete at a world championships in Indonesia this weekend. The CAS also turned down Israel’s request to force the International Gymnastic Federation (FIG) to guarantee Israel’s participation, or alternatively cancel or move the artistic worlds, set to start on Sunday in Jakarta. The Indonesia government last week said it will not grant visas to Israeli gymnasts, and the Swiss-based CAS said on Tuesday that FIG stated it has no control over Indonesia’s visa policies. In its reaction to…
In critical situations, the Patriots offense is now down to a few options. Drake Maye can zip a completion to Stefon Diggs, his favorite target under pressure. He can scramble. He can toss a go-get-it ball for Kayshon Boutte, who sealed Sunday’s win with a back-shoulder grab. Or Josh McDaniels can scheme up a run play and cross his fingers it picks up the necessary yards. But running straight ahead? Forget about it. The Patriots are now the NFL’s worst rushing offense by EPA (Expected Points Added) and fourth-worst according to yards per carry. The Saints sent them tumbling down…
Coming off their first postseason appearance in four years, the Boston Red Sox are heading into a pivotal offseason. While they showed plenty of promise this year and took a major step forward with their young core, they still have several holes to fill on their roster — especially if All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman opts out of his contract. While the Red Sox may look to be aggressive this winter by trading some of their prospects and splurging on a marquee free agent or two, at least one analyst expects the team to have a quieter offseason. ESPN’s David…
Josh Minott looks worthy of Brad Stevens’ investment. The Boston Celtics newcomer, who signed a two-year contract worth $5 million this offseason, has impressed during three preseason games and looks like a capable depth piece entering the 2025-26 campaign. A 6-foot-8, 205-pound forward, Minott earned some well-deserved praise from NBC Sports Boston analyst Brian Scalabrine after the C’s earned a win over the Cavaliers on Sunday. Minott took home his first Tommy Award following his 16-point performance off the bench. “He plays hard every possession,” Scalabrine said after Boston’s 138-107 victory. “I love him operating out of the corner because…
