I was afraid of flying until a pilot with whom I grew up set me straight. A plane wants to stay in the air, he said, comfortingly. A plane’s wing can bend at nearly a 90 degree angle and not snap, he said, less comfortingly. A plane will only crash when a thousand things go wrong or someone’s trying to make it crash, the same way Major League Baseball games will be played minus a few hundred thousand raindrops stop it or a group of owners try to stop it from happening. Which, after the 2026 season, is exactly where…

The A.J. Brown sweepstakes just got even more interesting. On Tuesday, the Miami Dolphins traded wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and a fourth-round draft pick (111th overall) in exchange for a first-round pick (30th) as well as third- and fourth-round picks (94th and 130th). The deal provides a template for how the Philadelphia Eagles could approach a potential deal involving their star wideout. That’s a major development for the New England Patriots, who have been linked to Brown in trade rumors all offseason. Did the price to acquire Waddle make a Brown trade even more costly? NBC Sports Boston’s Patriots insider…

The WBC has arrived. It probably arrived in 2023, to be honest — that Shohei-Trout at-bat feels like one of the most significant baseball moments of this century. But this is year that the WBC has broken containment. This is the year that the non-baseball watching people in my life are asking me about it. This is the year that it’s been discussed on social media more than the NCAA tournament. This is the year that the WBC haters — who were decidedly in the majority when this thing started back in 2006 — now sound out of step with…

With the first few waves of NFL free agency in the books, let’s try to put ourselves in the shoes of Mike Vrabel to determine the type of player he’ll be looking for with the No. 31 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. To this point in the offseason, Vrabel and his front office have been able to give the Patriots some help at receiver with Romeo Doubs coming aboard as a free agent. And there’s still a chance that the Patriots swing a trade for a true “No. 1” in A.J. Brown. But in this scenario, the Eagles…
