Gordon Hayward's Daughter Crashed His Big <i>Fortnite</i> Stream And Almost Made Him Lose
Gordon Hayward has long been a prolific gamer, and it seems he’s spent his recovery from that horrific leg injury playing Overwatch, Destiny 2, and, most recently, Fortnite. The free-to-play battle royale game has crossed over into the mainstream in a way that no video game has since Pokemon Go, wit...
Olympic Stud Ryan Donato Is Staying Hot In The NHL
21-year-old center Ryan Donato was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise mediocre U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team last month, scoring five goals in his five games in Korea. And now that he’s earned an NHL call-up with Boston, he’s keeping the hot streak alive. In approximately 1.17 NHL games, D...
Marcus Morris Hits Game-Winning Three To Boost Celtics Over Thunder
A pair of Russell Westbrook free throws put the Thunder up six over the Celtics tonight with 24.7 seconds to play. Boston quickly shrunk that deficit with one bucket from Jayson Tatum and another from Terry Rozier, plus some strategic fouling (and some bad free-throw shooting from Carmelo Anthony)—a...

Jaylen Brown Somehow Walks Off Court After Landing On Head [UPDATE]
Jaylen Brown’s fingers slipped after a third-quarter dunk tonight against Minnesota and the Celtics swingman miraculously left the court under his own power after an emergency response that suggested the Celtics had seen their second devastating injury of the season. ...
Celtics-Rockets Was One Totally Bitchin' Basketball Game
If you missed last night’s Celtics-Rockets game—if, say, you were watching outdoor hockey or a heavyweight title fight—you missed an outrageously fun and fast and fiercely competitive game. You wouldn’t necessarily expect a game where James Harden and Kyrie Irving combined to shoot 12-of-35 from the...
Brad Stevens Says Gordon Hayward Will For Sure Not Play For The Celtics This Season
Gordon Hayward shared a video Friday of a workout that looked startlingly basketball-ish. This, you can imagine, has led to a fresh round of speculation about whether Hayward could return to the court this season, something that seemed absolutely impossible with his leg looking like a wet noodle on ...
Red Sox Will Change Yawkey Way's Name So That It No Longer Honors A Dumb Racist
Red Sox owner John Henry said last August that he would consider changing the name of Yawkey Way, since Tom Yawkey was a racist who owned the last major-league team to integrate, and also once rejected a deal for Willie Mays. Today, the team announced the switch....
Rick Nash Is Super Eager To Impress His New Team
Newly acquired Rick Nash is only playing his second game as a Bruin tonight, but he’s already making all of his other Boston teammates look like slackers. Early in their game against the Hurricanes, a rebounding shot from Jaccob Slavin deflected off a skate, trickled past Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask, ...
The Once-Unstoppable Celtics Are Returning Back To Earth
Brad Stevens warned everyone. After the Celtics’ 16-game winning streak was finally snapped earlier this year, he admitted that the impressive run of wins right after the team lost Gordon Hayward was “a little bit of a mirage.” Still, though, Boston was at the top of the Eastern Conference for most ...
Kyrie Irving Has No Concern For Earthly Matters Like TV Families<em></em>
The Celtics ran one of those cute commercial-break videos at their game tonight where players answer innocuous questions about their pop culture faves. Naturally, it served as another opportunity for Kyrie Irving to show off that he is way cooler than everyone else....
WEEI Will Shut Down For A Day To Teach Its Hosts Not To Be Hateful Shitheads
Boston radio station WEEI has had a rough go of it lately: Alex Reimer called Tom Brady’s kid a “pissant” and hasn’t been heard from since; Christian Fauria giggled as he did a racist accent of Brady’s agent Don Yee, and was suspended five days; and Kirk Minihane’s still employed. In an effort to re...
For Black History Month, Boston Police Pay Tribute To White Man Who Coached Black Guys
Boston’s reputation as a city oblivious to racial issues is undeserved, I tell you....
Boy, The New-Look Cavs Sure Beat The Living Shit Out Of The Celtics
Sunday’s result should not be read as the Celtics are fake or the Cavs are better than the Celtics or the Celtics are doomed in the playoffs, although I dearly wish for all three of those things to be true. But it seems reasonable to say that the Celtics, who’ve had the NBA’s best defense this seaso...
WEEI Suspends Christian Fauria Five Days For Racist Don Yee Impression
There is, apparently, a line that can be crossed at oft-offensive Boston sports radio shithole WEEI, as the station suspended host Christian Fauria five days for his racist impression of NFL agent Don Yee on Friday’s show....

Boston Radio Dopes Claim Boston Newspaper Dope Was Tricked Into Writing A Fake Story About Tom Brady
On Thursday, the Boston Herald published a post headlined “Tom Brady wants to get paid like Jimmy G, or he’ll skip OTAs.” On Friday, it had been deleted and replaced with an error message. A Boston radio show claimed “Nick in Boston” had tricked the reporter, Ron Borges, into writing the fake story ...

I live in Massachusetts, and I want the Patriots to win the Super Bowl, and I can’t stand the Patriots....
What If <i>The Purge</i>, But For Goalie Interference<em></em>
Every sport has its catch rule, a point of controversy with rules so vague or arcane or reliant on human judgment that fans, players, and even referees can have trouble defining it. In hockey these days, that’s goaltender interference, and the usual short-term solution is that we trust the officials...
Tom Brady Cuts WEEI Interview Short Because Host Called His Kid An "Annoying Little Pissant"
It’s Super Bowl week and Tom Brady will ignore all off-the-field distractions. Almost. This morning, during his weekly appearance on a WEEI radio show featuring people who have repeatedly accused Adam Jones of fabricating the racist incidents he said he experienced in Boston, called Erin Andrews a “...
