I love a good police chase. Not because they’re effective—they’re not—but because they inevitably revolve around some insane thing that sparks your imagination of “What the hell was this person thinking?” I mean, the O.J. of it all still beggars belief, you know? And there are thousands to choose from each and every year, most notably out of Los Angeles. I still can’t figure out why or how that occurs having spent nearly a decade weaving my way through its notorious traffic, but it’s the police chase capital of the world. That said, this police chase I’m about to tell…

Say what you will about BC’s offense and defense, but their special teams play in 2024 was when the Eagles were at their absolute worst. They attempted five total field goals in the entire season, making three of them, which was dead last in all of FBS. And their punting was arguably worse, as fans in Alumni Stadium would audibly cheer if a BC punt went more than 30 yards. And that’s not even mentioning the Eagles’ kick returners, who had a lackluster season in their own right. There is some serious room for improvement all around in Boston College…

The stroll to the field in Ann Arbor was almost eerie. 110,000 fans, all chanting in unison. An electrifying sensation that few could comprehend. Some might be intimidated in such a setting. Peter Bourque, on the other hand, was thirsting for a chance to immerse himself in it. It is one of the many reasons why the Tabor Academy junior decided to make his commitment to the University of Michigan this past week. “I knew I wanted to play Big 10 football on the biggest stage,” Bourque said. “Michigan? That’s an opportunity that’s very hard to turn down. Elite academics,…

In 1971, the Five Man Electrical Band released a song called “Signs.” In 2011, a Massachusetts company that specializes in making signs got its start. Today, they are making their mark with “signs, signs, everywhere a sign” that can be seen all over greater Boston and beyond. “So, we make custom-fabricated signs for a variety of institutions,” said Anthony Clayton, CEO of Bluebird Graphic Solutions in Woburn.

Clayton describes the work being done by…

BOSTON ­– The bright lights, the music blaring from the speakers and the eager anticipation from the crowd. There are not many things that are greater than the high school athletics experience. I remember attending high school events as a child and knew that one day I wanted to shine bright in that spotlight. I eventually rose to that point at the now-closed Sacred Heart High School in Kingston. I played on the varsity ice hockey and baseball teams. I was even fortunate enough to be named a league All-Star in baseball and see my name alongside other athletes in…

By Sharon OliverContributing Writer BOSTON – For a rock group who had never been to Boston at the time, the Standells captured the spirit of Bostonians with their song “Dirty Water.” Although written by their producer Ed Cobb, the “punk band of the 1960s” recorded the hit song in 1966 and it resonates to the point of being the anthem of several Boston sports teams. The song “Dirty Water” by the 1960s band The Standells is a celebratory song for Boston sports teams, but it was inspired by a mugging on a bridge over the Charles River. “Dirty Water” is…
