Sometimes, wonderful things are stumbled upon by accident. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin when he noticed mold growing in a petri dish. Percy Spencer got the idea for the microwave when he realized a candy bar melted in his pocket while working with radar equipment – And the character of Cliff Clavin was invented on the spot when John Ratzenberger realized his audition for the part of Norm wasn’t going very well. (George Wendt, who famously played Norm on Cheers, told that story on a podcast just last year. Sadly, George also passed away early today on the 32 year anniversary…

An unseasonably cold Tuesday night at Fenway heated up in a hurry when Red Sox starter Walker Buehler and manager Alex Cora were ejected from with one out in the top of the third of what was ultimately a 2-0 Boston win. “First off, I think obviously the bullpen, like today’s game, is a story about the bullpen,” Buehler said postgame. “Obviously I put them in a really tough spot off of a day that we asked a lot of them, a lot out of them, yesterday.” Buehler hadn’t allowed a hit when he plunked Francisco Lindor to put the…
Bill Russell is the GOAT. Ted Williams is the GOAT. Bobby Orr is the GOAT. Tom Brady is the GOAT. At least in my house. Rafael Devers has become the latest goat to graze upon the Boston sports scene. No, he’s not “Greatest Of All Time.” At least not yet. Rather, he’s simply the goat — as in scapegoat. The patsy. The fall guy. The Bill Buckner. The Red Sox’s failure to meet their lofty preseason expectations has now been laid at the Alpha Huarache Elite 3 Mid cleated feet of Little Papi. State-Run Media told me so. So it must be true.

The PWHL released on Monday the key dates, rules, and process for the expansion teams in Seattle and Vancouver to build their rosters. The guidelines are clearly designed to make both clubs competitive as soon as they hit the ice next season, and Boston could see itself without some of its cornerstones to the newest franchises. The Fleet can initially protect only three players before adding a fourth after two players are selected from their roster. Let’s dive deep into which players Fleet general manager Danielle Marmer could potentially expose during this process. Unfortunately for the Fleet, not all of the players on…

BOSTON — Boston Latin Academy girls track and field head coach Brian Leussler can see it in the numbers. Over 100 student-athletes came out for the team this spring, and it’s performances like Tuesday that will continue to drive those numbers. The Dragons notched 188 points at the Boston City League outdoor championships at Madison Park to edge runner-up O’Bryant (107 points) to clinch their fifth straight BCL girls title. “For the last decade we have been on a really strong run. And then the more success we have, the more it just contributes to more kids coming out,” Leussler…
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Bruins have signed general manager Don Sweeney to a two-year contract extension, trusting him to rebuild the roster after the team missed the playoffs this season for the first time since 2016.The move comes a month after team president Cam Neely said he needed to think about whether to keep Sweeney around after a decade in which the Bruins have seen unprecedented regular-season success followed largely by playoff flops. Sweeney fired coach Jim Montgomery, who led Boston to NHL records of 65 wins and 135 points in 2022-23, in November, then sold off the roster at the trade…
Toughness is a non-negotiable for Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, and Lan Larison is known for being “cowboy tough.” Larison, the undrafted rookie who signed with the Patriots after the 2025 NFL Draft, spends his free time jumping off horses and seeing how quickly he can wrestle a steer to the ground. The Caldwell, Idaho, native was a state champion steer wrestler and, according to those who known him, the nation’s No. 1 bulldogger at his age. It’s a product of Larison coming from a long line of rodeo. His family, with older siblings and rodeo athletes, is used to…

Vrabel confirmed Tuesday that New England will host the Washington Commanders for joint practices ahead of the teams’ preseason opener on Friday, Aug. 8 at Gillette Stadium.
