The Drive

We are now three months and a new year into the Red Sox off-season. So far, the promise of a "full throttle" approach has yielded some spare parts and an overpriced starting pitcher who finished last season 2-9 with an ERA north of seven in his final dozen starts of the season...

The New England Patriots have won two of their last three games to match the amount of wins they accumulated over the first 13 weeks. Had it not been for the win in Pittsburgh a couple Thursday's ago, the Patriots would have begun Week 16 in possession of the No...

With yesterday's 10-point loss to the Chiefs, the Patriots slumped to 3-11 this season, the worst mark in Bill Belichick's 24 seasons with the team. The 11 losses also match the most Belichick has ever suffered during his coaching career...

If last night's Thursday Night Football rout between two teams going nowhere fast left a bad taste in your mouth, fear not! There's more football right around the corner with the triple-header on the schedule tomorrow. It's a late-season tradition in the NFL that makes its return each year around Christmastime...

If jolly ole Saint Nick could deliver you one sports wish this holiday season, what would you ask for? With the Red Sox having met with or about to meet with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, it sounds like we could use a little help from Santa with Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reporting, "few in the industry expect the Red Sox to be able to sign" the Japanese ace...

If you're like me and have yet to really begin your Christmas shopping responsibilities this holiday season, here's your friendly reminder - there's 12 days until the big day. It's the dilemma many of us face at this time of the year, with precious time dwindling away and the need to cram a season's worth of shopping into just a few hectic days...

Week 14 was a wacky one in the NFL. It saw eight underdogs pull the upset - most in the league for any week this season - while some of the top teams in the league came crashing back to the pack. Entering Week 15, an incredible 30 of the league's 32 teams are still in playoff contention, with 24 teams either currently in a playoff spot or within one game...

The New England Patriots were officially eliminated from the 2023 NFL playoffs thanks to yesterday's results around the league. Not that they really needed to be officially eliminated at this point. Those hopes were dashed months ago as the Pats got off to a 2-10 start to the season, their worst mark ever during the ownership of Robert Kraft...

As if watching the New England Patriots this year wasn't punishment enough, if you want to see the Pats take on the Steelers tonight in the Steel City, it's going to cost ya. As you well know, Thursday Night Football has been on Amazon Prime since the beginning of last season, meaning that if you don't have a Prime subscription, the game hangs out behind a paywall with a price of $14...

As John Henry and Co. learned last year, if you run your team like a small market club, you're going to get small market levels of interest from the fanbase.
