Share this: If you’re planning on watching the UMass Lowell men’s soccer team play Brown on Wednesday, we have some important news to share with you. This won’t be your ordinary college soccer game. Not one bit. Instead, it will be a very special night dedicated to the late Harambe. Yes, you read that right. If you are one of the first 100 people at the River Hawks’ game, you’ll receive a mini Harambe, and you could win even more prizes if you wear a gorilla suit. In case you aren’t in on the whole Harambe thing, he has become a popular meme, among other things, since he was killed at the Cincinnati Zoo after a child slipped into his enclosure. Something tells us this might

Josh Norman Gets Into Fight With Redskins Teammate In Loss Vs. Steelers
Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman was paid a whole bunch of money this offseason to be The Man in the Redskins secondary. Monday night, he was the man getting in fights and watching an All-Pro wide receiver burn somebody else. That’s Redskins safety David Bruton Jr. who is being pushed away from Norman in the video above. Monday was Norman’s first game in a Redskins uniform after spending the first several years of his career with the Carolina Panthers. Washington was burned by the Pittsburgh Steelers offense all night in a 38-16 “Monday Night Football” blowout. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for 300 yards... NESN.com
Dustin Pedroia’s Text Helped Mookie Betts Keep Level Head After Big Night
BOSTON — Dustin Pedroia wasn’t even present for the Red Sox’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night, but in typical Pedroia fashion, he found a way to make his presence felt. Monday’s contest produced another magical moment in the Summer of Mookie, as Mookie Betts launched his 30th homer of the season in the second inning of Boston’s eventual 9-4 win at Fenway Park. Reaching the 30-homer plateau certainly is cause for celebration, especially considering the 23-year-old right fielder joined Ted Williams and Tony Conigliaro as the only Red Sox players to hit 30 homers in a season before their 24th birthday. But Pedroia, who wasn’t ... NESN.com
How Has Mookie Betts Transformed Into An MVP Candidate? Chili Davis Explains
Share this: When Mookie Betts left the batting cage Friday afternoon, he was sure it wasn’t going to be a good night at the plate, according to Boston Red Sox hitting coach Chili Davis. Hours later following a 5-for-5 performance, we all had a friendly reminder of why Betts has catapulted himself into the forefront of the conversation to win the American League MVP award. As Davis explains to NESN’s Guerin Austin, as seen in the video from “Red Sox First Pitch” above, baseball is a game with highs and lows, but Betts is so successful because he never lets those lows drop too far or out of control. Check out more of his assessment in the video above. Thumbnail photo via Kim Klement/USA TODAY
Olympic Swimming Results: Michael Phelps, Simone Manuel Win On Historic Night
The swimming competitions at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro have reached fever pitch. USA’s Michael Phelps and Simone Manuel won gold medals Thursday night, making swimming history that will resonate far beyond the confines of the Olympic Aquatics Stadium.

Red Sox Notes: Andrew Benintendi Turns In Three-Hit Night Vs. Yankees
Share this: BOSTON — It turns out this Andrew Benintendi kid is pretty good after all. The Red Sox won a tough game Tuesday against the New York Yankees behind a stellar effort from starter Rick Porcello, but on the other side of the ball, all eyes were on Benintendi. The 22-year-old left fielder made his Fenway Park debut, and he certainly put on a show. Benintendi went 3-for-3 with an RBI, two runs and a controversial double that was ruled a home run and then overturned after a crew chief review. But not even missing out on his first big league homer by mere inches could spoil Benintendi’s night. “It was fine,” Benintendi said of the ruling. “I was happy with whatever outcome
Red Sox Vs. Angels Lineup: David Ortiz Gets Night Off Vs. Los Angeles
Share this: The expectation always was that David Ortiz would sit one of the games against the Los Angeles Angels this weekend. It turns out that day will be Saturday. Ortiz will start the evening on the bench as the Red Sox face left-hander Hector Santiago at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Hanley Ramirez will shift over to designated hitter, and Travis Shaw will take his place at first base. That means Aaron Hill will start at third base, while Jackie Bradley Jr. will bat in Big Papi’s usual cleanup spot. Brock Holt also will start the game on the bench, as Bryce Brentz will man left field instead. The Red Sox rebounded from a heartbreaking loss against the Angels in Game 1 of their four-game
