The New England Patriots are generating some playoff buzz, but they would shock the world by making a serious run at the Super Bowl in Mike Vrabel’s first season as head coach. They may instead watch a familiar foe pursue a long-eluded Lombardi Trophy. Peter Schrager successfully predicted the Super Bowl winner six straight times before finally faltering last year. His remarkable run ended when picking the Kansas City Chiefs to defeat the Green Bay Packers before the 2024 season. Now working for ESPN, the former NFL Network analyst will attempt to start a new streak with a different champion.…

By GRAHAM DUNBAR, Associated Press GENEVA (AP) — The names of experts appointed to an Olympic panel looking at female gender issues ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics are not being revealed, the IOC said on Friday. A working group on “Protection of the Female Category” in sports was promised by the International Olympic Committee’s first female president Kirsty Coventry when she was elected in March. A key campaign theme was the IOC taking more strategy-setting responsibility in fallout from the furor around women’s boxing at the Paris Summer Games that was widely used then and since as a…
The good news for Fabian Lysell? He is a year older, more physically and mentally mature and he now has at least a small body of work in the National Hockey League from which he has to work as he prepares for the opening of training camp on Sept. 17. The bad news? Making the Bruins roster, though not exactly chock-full of high-end talent, appears even harder to make for him than it was last year. Part of that is because the B’s re-stocked their roster with some reliable veterans in Viktor Arvidsson, Tanner Jeannot, Sean Kuraly and Mikey Eysssimont.…
With only three weeks left in the MLB regular season, the playoffs are just around the corner. Despite losing Roman Anthony to an oblique injury this week, the Boston Red Sox still appear likely to reach the postseason for the first time since 2021. No team is perfect, and even the best clubs have their flaws. While the Red Sox are young, exciting and talented, they have their share of issues heading into October. On Friday, writers at The Athletic named their top concern for all 12 teams currently in playoff position. Boston beat writer Jen McCaffrey identified “rotation and…
Expectations for the Boston Celtics’ 2025-26 season have been tempered so greatly by the offseason roster changes that we’d go so far as to suggest it’s nearly impossible for this team to fall short of expectations. If the Celtics thrive behind the remaining core members of the championship squad and get increased contributions from the younger players who are about to step into larger roles, the season will be deemed a success. If things go awry and the team is forced to prioritize longer-term goals while also emerging with a decent draft pick, the season likewise could be viewed as…
John Cena will make his final WWE appearance in Boston this November, the Boston Herald has learned. When Cena announced that 2025 would be his final year wrestling for WWE, there was ample speculation that his farewell match would take place in Boston this December. Yet that final appearance in Boston will take place sooner than expected, as Cena will make one last stop at the TD Garden for WWE’s Monday Night Raw on Nov. 10. A native of West Newbury, Cena has built an iconic pro wrestling career over the past two decades. He also has a highlight reel…
FOXBORO — Patriots wide receivers coach Todd Downing heaped immense praise on two of his pass-catchers in the lead-up to Sunday’s season opener against the Raiders. The veteran offensive coach said undrafted rookie receiver Efton Chism’s “relentless work ethic” is what separates him from the pack. “It starts well before he ever hits the field,” Downing said. “This guy’s one of the first guys in. A lot of times he’ll pop into my office super early in the morning, as I’m just getting going, and he wants to sit there and just watch me build the PowerPoint for the meeting…
The Boston Red Sox enter Thursday tied with the New York Yankees in the American League East standings. They can thank Devin Williams for the help. Williams’ season-long struggles continued on Wednesday, when the All-Star relief pitcher allowed four runs in the eighth inning. The Yankees relinquished a 5-3 lead to the Houston Astros, and their ninth-inning rally fell short in an 8-7 loss. The Yankees acquired Williams last offseason, expecting to enjoy a shutdown closer who posted a 1.83 ERA in six seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. He’s instead registered a 5.60 ERA with four blown saves and six…
Just one day after the Roman Anthony tragedy struck, we’ve got more injury news. Or maybe it’s “injury” news. Jordan Hicks, who has been one of the worst pitchers in baseball since being acquired from the Giants in the Rafael Devers trade, will be going on the IL with “a shoulder issue.” Is the issue merely that his shoulder is not good at throwing baseballs? That’s unclear, but he’ll be replaced on the roster by Chris Murphy, who has compiled a 3.05 ERA in 20.2 big league innings with the Sox this season. (Chris Cotillo, MassLive)If you’re wondering why it…
