A fitting honor that never crossed the former Burins captain’s mind during his playing days.“That’s not what you’re playing for, you’re playing to win,” Chara said. “Playing to get championships.

Every year, MLB Trade Rumors publishes a list of salary arbitration projections based on an internal model. Thankfully, salary arbitration isn’t something Red Sox fans need to get too worked up about. For as much as Sox fans complain about the Fenway Sports Group’s obsession with cost efficiency, I can’t think of a single instance when the Sox traded a player away because he got too expensive in arbitration, as some truly parsimonious teams make a habit of doing.In fact, the Sox have only gone to arbitration a whopping three times in the last 23 years, getting there with Fernando…

The accomplishments for Masconomet star Maggie Blosser felt like they were endless last year. She scored an eye-catching 34 goals, was an All-State selection and, most importantly, played a massive role in the Chieftains going unbeaten to capture a state title for the first time since 1989. The bevy of accolades could have found a way to diminish Blosser’s competitive appetite as she entered her junior year, but her relentless work ethic is again driving Masconomet to a terrific season. “Maggie doesn’t get to where she gets by resting on her laurels,” Masconomet head coach Alison Lecesse said. “The cat’s…
By MARIA SHERMAN, Associated Press Taylor Swift says she did not turn down the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, which will be headlined by Bad Bunny. “The Life of a Showgirl” singer paid a visit to “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Monday and dispelled a few rumors. Most notably, she shared she did not turn down the NFL’s biggest stage because she wouldn’t be allowed to own the performance footage, as claimed in a popular internet rumor. “No, no, no,” she said. The Super Bowl halftime show is produced by the NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation — the latter founded…

The three-time Hart Memorial Trophy winner contract’s average annual value (AAV) pales in comparison to some other sport’s athletes, including a pair of former Boston Red Sox players. “Your regular reminder about how NHL salaries stack up against other sports 🤯,” The Athletic posted on Bluesky. Among the handful of notable names on the list shared by The Athletic are former Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi ($15 million AAV) and ex-Boston starting pitcher Nick Pivetta ($13.75 million AAV).

The Patriots received proof in primetime. It’s no longer a question and instead a statement: Stefon Diggs has helped Drake Maye in a way no other pass-catcher has to this point. “That chemistry seems to be building every week,” Patriots insider Phil Perry said on The Breakdown alongside Ted Johnson. Diggs caught 10 of 12 passes Maye threw his way in New England’s 23-20 victory against the Bills on Sunday night. His 10 receptions accounted for 146 receiving yards and marked the second consecutive game Diggs eclipsed 100 yards — the first time he’s done so in back-to-back games since…
CANTON – Dynamic scoring tandem Carolyn Schiavo and Shannon Lane, and the rest of the No. 6 Canton field hockey team’s attack, are used to lighting up the scoreboard regularly. Playing to a scoreless tie in their first major test against Div. 1 power Franklin a week ago, then, left a bit of a sour taste. Against fellow Div. 2 standout No. 13 King Philip on Monday, though, the No. 6 Bulldogs (10-0-1) got some vindication with a 3-1 win that head coach Chrissy O’Connor called the team’s best all-around performance yet – snapping the Warriors’ nine-game win streak. Lane’s…
