Bill Belichick has faced intensified public scrutiny during a disappointing start to his head coaching reign at North Carolina. The program reportedly believes his former employer is partially responsible. Members of UNC’s football program suspect the New England Patriots of sourcing some negative reporting about Belichick, according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini. North Carolina is 2-3 with three blowout losses behind Belichick, who surprisingly joined the ACC school in December. The ugly start has fueled speculation over whether the 73-year-old and the program could quickly try to part ways, but they released a joint statement confirming their commitment to each…

In this era of information overload, we are all subjected to preposterous “stats” from time to time. While the history of performances at 3 p.m. on partly cloudy days with a slight easterly breeze on an odd day in the month could potentially serve as a functional anecdote, such “information” doesn’t actually mean anything. Perhaps all of that is why the football world has largely overlooked this one, which does seem to have some actual value: Drake Maye has four straight games with 200-plus passing yards, a 73.3 percent or better completion rate and a 100-plus passer rating. The only…
BOSTON (AP) — Clemson had a little scare with quarterback Cade Klubnik getting hurt. Boston College, however, didn’t really give the Tigers any trouble at all. Klubnik threw for a touchdown and ran for another when Clemson opened a big first-half lead before leaving with an injury late in the third quarter, and the Tigers beat struggling Boston College 41-10 on Saturday night. “He was trying to come back in there,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. “It was his ankle, so we just held him (out).” Klubnik completed 22 of 30 passes for 280 yards with an interception for the…

The Boston Celtics will be upset to have thrown away a 27-point lead in their 105-103 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday night, but there were still several encouraging developments that took place during this game. Perhaps the biggest among them was that the team’s newest big-name addition, Anfernee Simons, suited up for the C’s in this one. After not playing in the team’s preseason opener against the Memphis Grizzlies, Simons drew the start alongside Payton Pritchard in the backcourt for this one, with both Jaylen Brown and Derrick White not playing. And during his time on the floor,…
Well, that was some goddamn baseball last night. . . that I did not see, because my days of staying up for 15 innings of West Coast baseball are behind me. But I’m pumped for those you who did, and I’m pumped for Mariners fans, and I’m pumped for Tarik Skubal, who was still the star of the game despite being on the losing side. Striking out everyone and their mother will do that.We get a break today to catch our breaths before the ALCS kicks off tomorrow night in Toronto. Talk about what you want and be good to…
MILTON – There is no such thing as an easy NEPSAC football game, especially now. With a talent like Qur’an McNeill, however, it can appear so at times. The Buffalo commit turned in another incredible performance, completing 17 passes for 202 yards and a pair of touchdowns Saturday as Milton Academy dispatched a tough Loomis Chaffee squad with an impressive 24-6 victory. “I think the key was hard work, consistency, and having fun out there,” McNeill said. “I know a lot of times in the first quarter, everybody has jitters. But it was very important that we relaxed, calmed down,…
WEST ROXBURY – Malcolm Mason returned the opening kickoff 87 yards for a touchdown and the Lawrence Academy football team never looked back. Mason added a touchdown reception on offense and an interception on defense, helping the Spartans top the Roxbury Latin Foxes, 27-0, on Saturday at O’Keeffe Field. “First-ever kickoff return touchdown, so it felt great,” Mason said. “I caught it, saw an opening, and hit it.” The Spartans (3-1) scored on their first three drives, building a lead in the first half that Roxbury Latin (1-3) couldn’t overcome. Mason capped the first Spartans’ possession with an 11-yard touchdown…
The Toronto Blue Jays will likely be without Bo Bichette in the American League Championship Series. Bichette has been sidelined since Sept. 6 due to a knee injury and was hopeful he would play in the ALCS. However, the star shortstop was running the bases on Saturday and walked off the field in apparent discomfort, according to Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi. “Bichette led off from first base, took off for second and grimaced after rounding the bag before pulling up,” Davidi wrote in an article published on Saturday. “He walked over to third base where Blue Jays bench coach Don Mattingly,…
