Not quite a game day, but a festive, anticipatory atmosphere. Many of the lots closer to the stadium started filling up quickly. Jahlani Tavai was out taking pictures with fans.

Observations from the final Patriots mandatory minicamp practice
We’re on to the summer time, ladies and gentlemen. The Patriots officially wrapped up the spring with the final mandatory minicamp practice on Wednesday morning and as usual, it’s tough to put too much stock into a lot of things we’re seeing so far, but there were a few things that stood out in the just-about two hour session. For the final time until late July, here’s everything I saw…
High School Yearbook: 2003
Note: We wanted to create a new feature that honored the history of the high school game a little. This is a snapshot of MIAA play in 2003, and while a lot of that info is hard to access, we still remember a good amount of it. So here’s an attempt to capture those old glories.

Observations from Day 1 of Patriots mandatory minicamp
The third ‘first’ of Jerod Mayo’s coaching career took place on an absolutely beautiful day in Foxborough on Monday. The first mandatory minicamp practice of the Mayo era lasted two hours and while it wasn’t pretty at times – especially for the offense – there was still some good stuff to take away from the non-padded session. As usual, here’s everything I saw from high on top of the hill……

After five years of dominating the Women’s Football Alliance, it seems that the rest of the league finally realizes this simply isn’t the same old Boston team. After seeing a 42-game win streak snapped against St. Louis, Boston used a bye week to reassess and thoroughly embarrassed its next opponent (New York) by scoring 90…

Recruiting Roundup: St. John’s Prep
When you talk about the top programs in the state, St. John’s Prep always has to be in that discussion. Under coach Brian St. Pierre, the Eagles have won three D1 state titles since 2018. The Prep always plays a physical brand of football that just presents a winning formula in November and December. It should come as no surprise, then, that the Eagles are expected to be one of……
