In the void left behind by Bill Belichick, Joe Mazzulla’s introverted-ness has risen to the occasion.

Robert Kraft has a <i>Succession</i> spinoff you never knew you needed
There’s a surefire way to piss off a coach and/or player, and that’s to name or draft their successor.

Super Bowl Ads Roundup: More cameo than commercial
It feels like tweens put more effort into their TikToks than ad agencies put man hours into Super Bowl ads. Feature a celebrity endorsement — or six — into a commercial and we’re good, right?
