UXBRIDGE – The last time two-time reigning Div. 1 state champion Walpole had lost in field hockey was 47 games ago. The last time it lost by more than one goal was 71 games ago. And the last time it lost by a hefty margin was back in 2017, when Rhode Island powerhouse Moses Brown walloped it by five. Well, with a three-goal third quarter, along with standout defensive play to limit the No. 2 Porkers’ (10-1) typical damage in transition, top-ranked Uxbridge (10-0) rolled out a 6-1 win Friday afternoon to further show off its strength as a juggernaut.…

Conor McGregor has not competed for the UFC since July 2021. But he intends to change that in the summer of 2026. United States President Donald Trump and UFC CEO Dana White have plans in motion for the White House to host a UFC event next June on the South Lawn. Fighting at the White House would be a remarkable milestone for the UFC, especially with fighter weigh-ins at the Lincoln Memorial and fight night walkouts that extend from the Oval Office straight to the Octagon. And McGregor believes he should fight in the headline bout. “That’s my focus right…
The Patriots gained 104 rushing yards on 29 carries during their 42-13 victory over the Carolina Panthers last week. There’s no reason to believe New England can’t have similar success on the ground when it takes on the Buffalo Bills this Sunday. Even though the Bills have achieved an impressive 4-0 record, their team still shows noticeable weaknesses, particularly in run defense. According to Pro Football Focus, the Bills currently rank 29th in run defense, making them the weakest rush defense the Patriots have faced this season. In contrast, the Miami Dolphins, whom New England faced in Week 2, rank…
If you’re using the No. 4 overall pick in the NFL Draft on an offensive tackle, he’d better be good. And so far, Will Campbell appears to be living up to his billing. The Patriots’ first-round draft pick has delivered solid left tackle play for New England through four games. While he’s made some rookie mistakes (three false starts and one sack allowed), Campbell ranks in the top half of NFL left tackles in pressures allowed (eight, good for 12th out of 40 qualifying tackles) and Pro Football Focus’ pass-block efficiency metric (97.0, good for 13th among 40 qualifying tackles).…
Day 1 of Celtics traing camp featured an intense game of 2-on-2. Not 2-on-2 basketball, though — 2-on-2 Spikeball. The team shared a video on its YouTube page of pairs of players squaring off in the popular beach game. The finals of the tournament pitted Payton Pritchard and Josh Minott against Derrick White and Ron Holland Jr., with White and Holland taking home the title. Unusual? For most NBA teams, yes. But not for Boston, whose head coach, Joe Mazzulla, has become known for integrating non-basketball competitions into his practice plans. In the past, the Celtics have played football, wiffle…
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Mike Vrabel is well aware of how the tables have turned in the AFC East rivalry between New England and Buffalo since his eight seasons as a Patriots linebacker in the 2000s.As a player, Vrabel was part of a perennial Super Bowl-contending team that won 15 of 16 road trips against Buffalo.

Twenty years ago, Jimmy Fallon portrayed a diehard Boston Red Sox fan who fell in love and celebrated the franchise’s long-awaited World Series title. So it may have caught some viewers off guard to spot him rooting for their elimination on Thursday night. Boston won’t make another title run following a Game 3 loss to the New York Yankees. If falling to their bitter rival wasn’t bad enough, the ESPN broadcast showed the “Fever Pitch” star jumping up and down and pumping his fist during New York’s four-run fourth inning at Yankee Stadium. Awful Announcing shared a clip of the…
Waking up today felt a little surreal, no?For the first time since mid-February, there aren’t any balls being hurled by promising aces, no homers hit by rookies hoping—and eventually making—for the bigs. No press conference drama, no more in-game blow-ups or post-series news bombs. The 2025 Boston Red Sox season has officially come to an end.So how are we coping until next February?I mean the best thing about the Red Sox bowing out so early is the ability to watch postseason baseball unencumbered with expectations now, right? Seriously, take a look at my WHOOP last night and see how much…
NEW YORK – Many of the men who returned quietly to the visitors clubhouse at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night wasted no time showering, changing into their travel clothes and packing their bags. Not Alex Bregman, though. As the room emptied out, he sat in front of his locker, in uniform, until after 11:35 p.m. His postseason streak had continued into a ninth consecutive year, but only just. “Remember this feeling,” Bregman said he told his teammates, “because it sucks. You don’t want to feel it. Take it into your offseason, continue to get better. I think you can look…
Top-billed games can be plenty of fun and end up being memorable events. They can also come with consequences. Week 4 of the high school football season was littered with anticipated battles, some of which turned out to be classics. Springfield Central made a pilgrimage to Westwood for a showdown with Xaverian, and the Golden Eagles made a statement. Another contest that drew many fans was Winchester vs. Masconomet, two teams many considered to be jockeying for position among the North Shore’s elite. The Red and Black came to play, to say the least. Those are just two examples among…
