Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce has been heavily invested in the Eastern Conference Final ever since the New York Knicks defeated his former club in the semifinal. Pierce has not been shy about trolling the Knicks and their fans on social media after every game the Indiana Pacers defeated New York. However, after the Pacers trounced the Knicks 125-108 in Game 6 to clinch the Eastern Conference title, the 2008 NBA champion took a more encouraging approach in an Instagram story. “You know what I’m saying? Good year, Knicks,” Pierce said in a video he posted to his personal Instagram…

The New England Patriots waited until the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft to select a wide receiver, and they chose Washington State star Kyle Williams. The 6-foot, 180-pound wideout tallied career highs with 70 receptions, 1,198 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns for the Cougars during the 2024 season. Williams could play a meaningful role in Josh McDaniels’ offense as a rookie, but he’ll have to earn that opportunity with consistently good reps on the practice field. That process is already underway at Patriots’ OTAs last week and this week. How has Williams looked so far? 🔊 Next Pats:…

However, despite trailing the New York Yankees by 8 1/2 games in the American League East and 3 1/2 games back in the wild card standings, manager Alex Cora doesn’t appear to be on the hot seat.
