Women’s professional basketball may finally be coming to Boston, and it’s about time. Steve Pagliuca, a Celtics minority owner, has purchased the Connecticut Sun for $325 million, the highest ever price paid for a women’s professional sports franchise. Pagliuca may...

There is a house in Maranello, and it’s called the Prancing Horse. And  it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy, and, God, I know I’m one.  That was a miserable showing. Charles Leclerc, you cannot do that. I understand why you wanted to, but moving under braking...

It’s been a while. Did you miss me? Cause I’ve missed you. Here are my abridged thoughts from the Canadian Grand Prix.  RIP to the groundhog.  It’s the hope that kills you — re: Lewis Hamilton’s decent qualifying and subsequent race. Ferrari, I will send...

Let’s start with the obvious. Max Verstappen should have received a race ban. He deliberately ran into another driver because he was upset with his team. He’s a grown-up and a father and should learn to control himself. There are no excuses for that kind of behavior.  Michael...

Is Lando Norris reading my articles? It seems like it, because he’s taking my advice. He drove a near perfect race, from lights to flag.  That qualifying session was, in my opinion, one of the most exciting since Hungary 2023. It had me saying, “Oh my God” while walking...

For a track that only has one drag reduction system zone, there was a lot of overtaking happening.  Glad to see paternity leave isn’t slowing Max Verstappen down. He took the lead from Oscar Piastri and checked out. I had flashbacks to the 2023 season when any unfortunate...

Party in the city where the heat is on, all night on the beach till the break of dawn? It rained through the weekend. Blame Will Smith if you didn’t pack an umbrella.  Congratulations are in order — Max Verstappen is a dad!  Lilly, Sassy and Jimmy: What do these names...

For the first time in a long time, there was excitement during lap one. Yuki Tsunoda and his bestie Pierre Gasly collided going into turn five. They’re one of the more likeable bromances on the grid, so hopefully they can work it out amicably.  This time, unlike the past...

Oscar Piastri, you are moving me. If my boys in red can’t win, I’m rooting for the Aussie in Papaya. He’s just too cool. This is actually his job, and he’s doing it well. I have a feeling that when he wins a world title, we might get a smile. But until then, I’m cool...

It’s time for playoffs, NBA fans! The Boston Celtics are poised for another championship run, this time as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. The top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to make their own run and will likely face the Cs in the Eastern Conference...

Taps mic. Testing, testing, one, two. Clears throat. I set fire to the grass! And then I set fire to it again. And then again. And then again. And the crowd is slightly concerned. Music abruptly stops.  Albert Einstein described insanity as doing the same thing over and over...

Parquet Report: ‘Mazzulla-ball’ works, and it comes with records

Aiden Barker, news staff April 7, 2025

The Boston Celtics broke the single-season three-point record April 4 in a 123-103 win against the Phoenix Suns, surpassing the 2022-23 Golden State Warriors’ mark of 1,363. And it’s all thanks to “Mazzulla-ball.” Payton Pritchard’s left-wing shot gave the Celtics...
