The New England Patriots may not make as many massive moves as last offseason, but they have at least one key issue to address. ESPN asked its reporters to identify each team’s biggest offseason question. For the Patriots, Mike Reiss asked how Christian Gonzalez will approach a potential contract extension. “This is the first time in his career that he is eligible for an extension, even though he is technically under contract for one more season,” Reiss wrote. “So does Gonzalez force the issue? Or will he be patient and let the process play out? Gonzalez (four tackles, three passes…

When Adam Sparacio walked back out to the court earlier this week, the crowd was electric. It was Swampscott’s Senior Night, and the Big Blue were set to take on one of the state’s top-ranked teams with Salem paying a visit. What most haven’t seen is the journey the senior captain took to get to that point. For the past three years, Sparacio has been in the midst of his own battle, having been diagnosed with a recurring brain tumor as a freshman. Yet, you wouldn’t know it, especially given how much of an impact he has had on the…
After seven months, 21 games, three exhibitions and a Super Bowl to forget, the Patriots’ 2025 campaign is well over. But are we done with that season quite yet? Not at all. Here are nine thoughts on the season that was and what comes next in New England: 1. Drake’s next step The quarterback who committed the fewest mistakes was bound to win Super Bowl LX. That proved to be Sam Darnold by a landslide. Darnold not only had zero turnovers to Drake Maye’s three, but he took five fewer sacks while averaging the same snap-to-throw time as the MVP…
The New England Patriots losing in the Super Bowl is tough for Boston sports fans. But on the bright side, it might be a good sign for the Boston Red Sox. After getting blown out by the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, the Patriots have now lost six Super Bowls in franchise history. That’s an NFL record. Fortunately for Boston sports fans, the Red Sox tend to do well after New England loses the big game. The Patriots lost their first Super Bowl appearance in early 1986, getting crushed by the Chicago Bears. Boston won the pennant later that year, only…
The New England Patriots just completed one of the most dramatic one-year turnarounds in NFL history, going from 4-13 in 2024 to 14-3 in 2025 under new head coach Mike Vrabel and reaching Super Bowl 60 before falling to the Seattle Seahawks, 29-13. If they want to carry that momentum into 2026, however, they’ll still need to make upgrades to the roster. New England has a strong foundation of young players led by quarterback Drake Maye, cornerback Christian Gonzalez and a talented 2025 draft class. But they also can improve their depth in several areas — most notably edge rusher,…
ARLINGTON — At practice before the game and in every period Thursday night, the St. John’s Prep boys hockey team talked plenty about Arlington Catholic’s fight and their Div. 1-leading 15-game unbeaten streak. The No. 2 Eagles (12-3-2) didn’t deliver their best performance against that grit, but the small details and yet another strong defensive showing powered a 4-2 nonleague win over the No. 9 Cougars at Ed Burns Arena to finally snap their streak. JR Goldstein scored the first of his two goals on the night in a 2-0 lead the Eagles gained in the opening five minutes, and…
SANTA CLARA, Calif.

Alex Cora isn’t worried about the Boston Red Sox’s outfield logjam to open the 2026 season. Despite much speculation, the Red Sox have retained all four of their outfielders. Cora has three spots for Roman Anthony, Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu, relegating one of them to designated hitter duties over Masataka Yoshida. Cora told reporters that he’s not stressed by figuring out how to play them all. “It’s not a problem,” Cora said. “I bet there’s 29 other managers that would love to have this outfield. Whoever is out there, I truly believe — we got Wily, Ceddanne,…
