Drive Poll
Poll: Which NFL opening has the best path back to the playoffs?
The NFL, as we know, is built for teams to go from the bottom to the top in short order. Of the now five remaining head coaching vacancies around the league, plus New England, which of those six teams will be back in the playoffs first?
Poll: Who is the 2nd best HC/QB combo in the NFL playoffs?
There's Mahomes & Reid, then there's everyone else. And only one of the other tandems has won a Super Bowl title together.
Poll: The playoffs are here...who ya got winning it all?
Here's how Las Vegas sees the tournament playing out. Per DraftKings Sportsbook, the Detroit Lions (+280) are the overall betting favorite, followed by Kansas City (+350), Baltimore (+600), Buffalo (+650), and Philadelphia (+700).
Poll: How do Patriots fans feel about their 'custodian'?
"Since buying the team, I have always considered myself and my family as custodians of a public asset," wrote Robert Kraft as part of his reasoning as to why he fired Jerod Mayo after one year on the job.
Poll: What would you pay to see top-ranked Black Bears in Orono?
Over the holidays, I was talking to some relatives about this game and happened to look up ticket prices on the secondary market when one of them said, "oh that would be fun, we should go." I was shocked at what I found.
Poll: What was the biggest local or regional sports story of 2024
There's a reason stations like us are now broadcasting Duke basketball games - like tomorrow's contest vs. Virginia Tech - it's because Maine can't get enough of the recently turned 18-year-old during his journey to possibly being the No. 1 pick in next summer's NBA Draft.
Poll: Does the NBA have a product problem?
It's been reported that league ratings are down as much as 28% this year, with a whole host of reasons why that may be, including a lack of physicality and defense, and the reliance on the 3-point shot.
Poll: Celtics aside, which Boston team will have the best 2025?
Will 2025 bring another coaching change for the Patriots and Bruins? Will we finally see the Red Sox turn a corner come the summer? Or will it be another year dominated by the Green Team while the other three struggle for positive headlines in The Hub?
Poll: Should Pats target Heisman-winning Hunter with top pick?
The pair in front of the Pats are both desperate to find their next signal caller, with most projections out there sending Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders to Vegas while the Giants nab Miami QB Cam Ward second. That means the Pats could have their pick of the litter when it comes to the skill positions, something they so desperately need.
Poll: Could Mayo be NFL's latest coach to get canned in Year 1?
For 3-straight seasons, the NFL has seen a coach fired during his debut season on the job. With mounting frustration in Foxborough, could Jerod Mayo be next to make the unfortunate list?
