Charlie McAvoy Injury Update: Bruins D-Man Out At Least Four Weeks With MCL Sprain

The Boston Bruins, already without Patrice Bergeron for the foreseeable future, will also be without Charlie McAvoy for at least a month. The team announced Tuesday that McAvoy suffered a left MCL sprain in Saturday’s win over the Montreal Canadiens, and he will be reevaluated in four weeks. McAvoy suffered the injury in the first period of the Bruins’ eventual overtime win. He appeared to twist it retrieving a puck in his own end and skated gingerly off the ice. McAvoy could be seen bent over down the tunnel by the Bruins bench before eventually heading to the locker room. He didn’t return to the game. Boston is already without Bergero... NESN.com

Red Sox Notes: John Farrell Provides Update On Mookie Betts’ Injured Knee

There wasn’t much to get excited about for the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night in the series finale against the Cleveland Indians. Chris Sale turned in his worst start of the season, as the left-hander was shelled for six runs on seven hits over just three innings of work. Sale wasn’t the only Boston pitcher who struggled, though, as Cleveland collected 18 hits in its 13-6 blowout victory. But the pitching woes weren’t the biggest cause for concern Thursday night. In the seventh inning, Mookie Betts exited the game with a right knee contusion. After the game, Red Sox manager John Farrell provided an update on Betts’ ailment. “It’s a ... NESN.com

Martellus Bennett Literally Too Excited To Sleep After Patriots’ Super Bowl Bert…

Share this: New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett couldn’t hide his excitement Sunday night, and that apparently carried over into the morning. Bennett and the Patriots dismantled the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday night, earning a berth in Super Bowl LI. While Super Bowl trips almost are taken for granted in New England — the Patriots are making their NFL-record ninth trip to the big game — Bennett is getting his first taste. He understandably was overcome with joy Sunday night, dancing with the Patriots cheerleaders after the game and talking about how he was going to bake a celebratory cake. And while we’re not sure whether he actually baked that cake, it appears the big tight end spent

Cowboys Fan With Bold ‘Super Bowl LI Champs’ Tattoo Gets Even Bolder Update

The term “fan” is short for “fanatic,” which means we shouldn’t be surprised when fans do dumb things to show their fandom. Near the top of that “dumb things” list is getting a championship tattoo before your team actually wins a championship. That’s what Dallas Cowboys fan Jordan Garnett decided to do way back in December, predicting a Super Bowl LI Cowboys victory in permanent ink. Dallas, of course, won’t be winning Super Bowl LI, as Dak Prescott and Co. lost in heartbreaking fashion to the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Divisional Round. That left poor Garnett with a tattoo that didn’t make any sense, but that didn’t stop this ... NESN.com
