Mazz: Jeter, the Hall and the voters
The next Jeter? Oh, he’s out there somewhere. And somebody is probably teaching him about launch angle, which would be a baseball tragedy.
Our Favorite Cosplay of PAX South 2020
One of our favorite parts of any convention is the cosplay. People pour months of their time and plenty of their hard-earned dollars into bringing their favorite characters to life. While PAX South was admittedly a little lighter on cosplay than we would have expected, we still saw some amazing work. Here’s a gallery of…

Celtics Notebook: Green coming up short against beasts in the East
A 128-123 loss to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks was Boston’s second straight national TV defeat. While many observers scoff at the tedium of the NBA regular season, games of that caliber are the ones you circle on your desk calendar. They're supposed to be fun. They also offer an opportunity to play detective and…
Red Sox will likely begin manager search with internal candidates
The Red Sox will not let their cheating scandal stop them from looking for in-house options to replace Alex Cora.
Mazz: You know what? Baseball sucks right now
Think about it: the NFL, NBA and NHL all have instituted changes in recent years to shorten delays, making the games faster, more entertaining. Meanwhile baseball can’t even get the pitchers to throw the ball. If pitchers like Price and Justin Verlander are going to give Manfred the finger when he talks about a pitch clock, what chance does the commissioner possibly have of getting the positional players to stop stealing signs?
Walker scores 40, but Celtics fall just short of remarkable comeback vs. Bucks
The Celtics made it a game, but ultimately couldn't stop the league-best Bucks.
Patriots linebacker Dont'a Hightower will miss Pro Bowl
The Patriots will be down a rep at this month's Pro Bowl.
Red Sox officially part ways with Alex Cora
Alex Cora is out as manager of the Boston Red Sox.
Mazz: Cora has Red Sox, Henry, Bloom backed into a corner
Obviously, there’s a lot to address here, particularly as the Red Sox look to shed payroll under a first-time general manager who must think he just bought a ticket on the Hindenburg. David Price is chronically unhappy. Mookie Betts probably wants out. Your $80 million starting rotation remains an unknown and your manager is in the eye of a historic cheating scandal.
Celtics Notebook: Young stars could learn from Kemba Walker's consistency
By Sean Sylver, 98.5 The Sports Hub Kemba Walker scored 26 points in 33 minutes of Thursday night's loss to the 76ers. It's the most he's played since New Year's Eve against the Hornets, which also doubled as the Celtics' last decisive victory. Walker missed three consecutive games to start the year and was unceremoniously…

Australia's Wildfires: How You Can Help
Wildfires have been ravaging Australia for months, but they've only recently started getting major coverage in international and American news outlets. Fox News reports that "the wildfires that are ravaging parts of Australia are burning through vegetation under such extreme conditions the blazes are generating enough heat to create their own weather systems, including fire-generated…
Mazz: Do Brady and the Patriots still want each other? Pretty unlikely
In the interim, here’s a question that is worth asking: do the Patriots really want Brady back? Does Bill Belichick? Does the Kraft family? This past offseason, Brady wanted the right to become a free agent, asking the Krafts to forfeit the right to use the franchise tag on him. And they gave it to him.
Celtics Notebook: Boston's dynamic young duo is firmly in the mix for All-Star voting

Worst Game of Every Year 2010-2019
As we bid farewell to 2019 and the last decade, everyone else seems to be fondly remembering the greatest in all things gaming. From the games to the streamers to the esports and events, it’s nice to remember what went well. We should also remember the cautionary tales of the last decade, lest history repeat…
Best Game of Every Year 2010-2019
With 2020 upon us, we’re all taking a look back at the last decade. It’s crazy to think that when 2010 hit, we were still in the Playstation 3 era. I was in my third year of college, and was taking a job working at a local Laser Tag facility. Needless to say, things have…
