FOXBORO, MASS. (WHDH) – Foxboro town leaders are still waiting for the money to pay for security during the FIFA World Cup this summer. The select board refused to grant an entertainment license that would allow the World Cup to be played at Gillette Stadium.On Tuesday, the board said they would not sign off on the license until the organizers could guarantee when the $7 million bill to put on the games would be paid – and who would be paying it.

It’s pitching preview time, ladies and gentlemen. Over the next several days, I’ll be writing 10,000 words or so about everyone you might see pitching for the Red Sox to start the season. We’ll start with the starters, because if we didn’t start with the starters, they wouldn’t be starters, and that doesn’t make any sense.I’m grouping the Sox’ starting pitching options into tiers because that’s how my brain works. Don’t think of them as rankings, but rather buckets based on some similarities I see. Stay tuned for more installments on the new guys, the young guns, and the vets…
By STEVE DOUGLAS, AP Sports Writer CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Mikaela Shiffrin’s eight-year Olympic medal drought is over. The American skiing standout put in two dominant runs to win the women’s slalom at the Winter Games on Wednesday by 1.50 seconds. The race isn’t officially over yet, with dozens of lower-tier racers still to take the course. But Shiffrin is the leader after the fastest 30 skiers from the first run. World champion Camille Rast was in silver medal position and Anna Swenn Larsson in third. AP Olympics: https://apnews.com/hub/milan-cortina-2026-winter-olympics Source link
When I’m exploring a resort, I like to anticipate what I call my “aha!’ moment, that view or run or experience of some kind that just defines not just the place, but the day. On a recent visit to Pleasant Mountain in Maine, I realized that aha moment is the same for all. But let me start at the beginning. In the winter of 1938, a group of students, Civilian Conservation Corps members and other volunteers set out to create the perfect trail to feed their passion for skiing. They worked all summer and fall clearing just the right line…

Editor’s note: In the coming days, we’ll be rolling out the best free-agent fits for the Patriots at key positions. So far, we have analyzed edge rushers and wide receivers. Today, we look at five impactful tight ends New England should consider in free agency. The New England Patriots have several positions to address this offseason, but adding a tight end should be near the top of their priority list. Their No. 2 tight end Austin Hooper is set to hit free agency. And while fellow veteran TE Hunter Henry remains productive in New England’s passing game, he’s 31 years old…
LYNN — For 16 minutes, it was a game in the boys final for the top division of the Spartan Classic on Tuesday evening. Then, like a tidal wave, points flowed in for St. Mary’s in the third quarter, and Newburyport didn’t stand a chance.

Masataka Yoshida is unquestionably a productive major league hitter, having posted a career OPS+ of 109. But with $36.5 million still owed to him over the next two years and no place on the Red Sox except as a low-power DH/pinch-hitter, he arguably hurts the roster more than he helps it.The Red Sox cannot option Yoshida to the minor leagues without his consent. As for a trade, we have recently seen reports that “there has been tangible trade interest in Yoshida throughout the winter, with teams recognizing his offensive upside,” but the Red Sox obviously have not pulled the trigger.…
