In the least surprising news of the day, the 2018 edition of The Egg Bowl got a little weird and a little wild. The historic rivalry between Mississippi State and Ole Miss always seems to deliver memorable moments, and Thursday’s installment was no different. The No. 18 Bulldogs dominated the Rebels from the opening kick-off and frustrations finally boiled over late in the third quarter. With Mississippi State leading 28-3, Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral hit A.J. Brown for a long touchdown to cut the lead to 19. But after Brown scored, the players began jawing back and forth before Bulldogs safety Johnathan Abrams shoved Brown’s face, and w... NESN.com

Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Red Wings Lines, Pairings
Dreading spending Thanksgiving Eve with your family? Have no fear, the Boston Bruins are here to put your mind at ease for a few hours. The Bruins, minus Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara, will travel to Detroit to face off with the Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena in the fourth and final game of what has been a tumultuous road trip for the Black and Gold. Boston has lost Bergeron (sternoclavicular, rib), Chara (knee) and John Moore (lower body) during the last three games, but still has managed to post a 1-1-1 record during that time and can head back home with five of a possible eight points with a win Wednesday.

The New England Patriots have had the luxury of playing most of their playoff games at home in the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick era. But if the Patriots are going to reach Super Bowl LIII, it’s looking like it might have to win a postseason matchup away from Gillette Stadium. While the 7-3 Patriots very much are in position to earn a first-round bye, the high-flying Kansas City Chiefs currently own the No. 1 seed. And if New England ultimately is tasked with having to travel to Arrowhead Stadium in January, Colin Cohwerd doesn’t see Tom Brady and Co. coming out on top. It’s not often you can be impressed by a pair

MLB Rumors: Teams Looking To Sign Nathan Eovaldi As Closer, Not Starter
Nathan Eovaldi’s 2018 postseason performance likely earned him a big payday this Major League Baseball offseason. But could it be to close out games rather than start? Eovaldi, who was traded to the Boston Red Sox in July from the Tampa Bay Rays, made his mark quickly tossing 15 scoreless innings in his first two starts. The right-handed pitcher dominated in the postseason, including a Game 5 outing against the Los Angeles Dodgers that left his teammates in literal tears. There are no shortage of suitors for the pitcher, and while starting has been the 28-year-old’s role, WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford said, citing an MLB source, multiple teams have “e... NESN.com
