Future Mike note: Do you how awkward it is to write an entire post and not be able to refer to the team by their location? Well now I do!That construction equipment in the main picture for the A’s “groundbreaking” in Las Vegas? It was rented for the photo op. Not for, say, breaking ground.The Arizona Diamondbacks were kind enough to send not one but two starting pitchers against the Red Sox over the weekend who had ERAs greater than five. The Athletics have chosen to be less kind, especially starting out. However since that didn’t help the run scoring…

A Buffalo Bills fan learned the hard way that Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson doesn’t take kindly to being touched by opposing fans. After Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins made a spectacular one-handed touchdown catch near the end of the third quarter, he and Jackson decided to celebrate by sprinting along the sidelines right in front of the Bills crowd. As he did, one Bills fan appeared to reach over and hit both Hopkins and Jackson on the helmet with his hand. While Hopkins appeared not to notice, Jackson took exception and shoved the Bills fan back into his seat.…

The 2025 Formula 1 season opened with a sense of optimism that we would see a close, exciting championship battle. Well, the championship battle is certainly close. It is also mind-numbingly boring.There is tension, I suppose, in the sense that the two numbers next to each driver’s name in the standings are quite close to each other, and if you can do rudimentary math, you can calculate the difference between those two numbers as it expands or contracts. But with the exception of one or, generously, two races, recaps about the championship fight can ignore the action on track entirely…

After waiting seven months for the NFL to return to the field, and being rewarded with an absolutely sensational AFC showdown between Buffalo and Baltimore to cap the first Sunday of the season, it’s hard not to flip ahead a few months on the calendar and pencil in another bout between the Bills and Ravens.  Because Sunday night’s matchup — a rematch of last January’s Divisional Round battle between two of the greatest quarterbacks of this generation, both surrounded by supporting casts worthy of Super Bowl rings — had all the makings of a post-season preview.  Of course, nobody really wants to…

He is due to make a mandatory defence of the WBO belt next, but the organisation has granted Usyk a 90-day extension on medical grounds for those negotiations. The WBO has ruled that he must box their mandatory challenger, currently Joseph Parker, next.Parker’s team were hoping to snare the Usyk fight sooner. The New Zealander’s promoter, David Higgins told Sky Sports: “We don’t control rulings like that. We have to be philosophical. The main…

For the second straight season, Geno Smith has proven to be a thorn in the Patriots’ side, even if the veteran quarterback doesn’t see it that way. “I wouldn’t say I’m the thorn in anybody’s side,” Smith told the Herald after the Raiders spoiled New England’s season opener with a 20-13 victory. “We got a win today that was good. They are our opponent. We are on the road, and we had to win it.” Smith, in his 12th season in the NFL, threw for 362 yards and a touchdown while posting a 102.8 quarterback rating in his Las Vegas…

Patriots fans say they are excited that the Mike Vrabel era has begun in Foxboro, but they will have to wait a little longer to see the new head coach earn his first win at Gillette Stadium. New England lost its season opener at home to Las Vegas on Sunday, 20-13, with fans letting out loud boos as they started to exit the stadium before the Week 1 dud came to an end. Sterling resident Steve Maynard, a season ticket holder for 15 years, stayed through it all. He joined fellow season ticket holders on the field after the game,…

FOXBORO – You weren’t wrong to believe. They were favored, after all. And by the time anyone pulled up to Gillette Stadium, bad weather – a time-tested tell for major moments in Patriots history – had already descended on Foxboro. So as rain doused Mike Vrabel’s head-coaching debut, it was no surprise to see the Patriots‘ defense generate three straight three-and-outs in the first half. Or watch Drake Maye lead multiple scoring drives. Or spot the head coach and quarterback duck into the locker room at halftime with a 10-7 lead and a strengthening grip on the game. Victory felt…
