Patriots-Seahawks Unconventional Preview: On the need for Drake Maye to play a clean game (while taking some big shots), Milton Williams’s chance at a second straight dominating Super Bowl performance, revisiting “Malcolm, Go” and more. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/07/s...
Patriots-Seahawks Super Bowl will likely come down to which quarterback makes the fewest mistakes - The Boston Globe
This has the potential to be a classic, leaving no margin for error with two QBs who have little in common other than being former No. 3 overall picks, and so much weight on their shoulders.

Would the Patriots’ dynasty have ever happened without new Hall of Famer Adam Vinatieri? - The Boston Globe
Vinatieri won three Super Bowls with the Patriots and a fourth with the Colts. While he may have played more seasons in Indianapolis, he is an ultimate Patriot.

This is heartbreaking. RIP, Terrance Gore.

Him and I have been friends on Facebook for years. His wife and other friends have made posts this morning about it.
This post is extremely tough to write. Last night, I lost my best friend/husband from complications after what was supposed to have been a simple procedure. Our hearts are shattered, my babies are shattered. Our whole family is lost. This was so unexpected. Everything Zane does is centered around his dad. Baseball,hunting,fishing. Skylyn said “i dont have a daddy anymore,he’s up in heaven in the stars”. I don’t know where to go from here. I feel like I’m living my biggest nightmare and feel so lost. He loved his children with everything in him. He loved coaching the youth and those boys absolutely loved him. Please keep our family in your prayers for the coming days and for the strength to get through this. Life is precious and is too short. What I would do to give you one more hug or kiss. We had so many more memories to make 🙏🏼 I love you forever Terrance Gore and I’ll continue to watch over our babies.

Wrote this about Lindsey Vonn 360 days ago, as her comeback was just picking up steam. Would not change a word today, even with -- or because of? -- the ACL rupture.

Vance undermining the US Olympic Team would be too on the nose
washingtonpost.com The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d
American star Alysa Liu overcame a delay en route to the Milano Skating Arena caused by Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade and finished second in the women’s short program at the Olympics team event.

“We almost didn’t make it,” her coach said.
Nothing could stop the U.S. figure skating team. Not even JD Vance’s motorcade.
Alysa Liu and world champion dance team of Madison Chock and Evan Bates have the Americans leading the team event after day one.

The Globe is giving out free papers at the Super Bowl to showcase the work of our reporters there and bring a touch of home to Patriots fans in town for the game.

That's deputy sports editor Scott Thurston. Can't believe he didn't flip to the page with my Red Sox story.

Super Bowl prop bets have gotten so dull since all of sports media is constantly talking about why you should gamble on every play in every regular season game of every sport.

If you know anybody in the White House press corps, Mark has provided them with at least 15 minutes of increasingly tense and terse entertainment here. Every question should be asked. Every. Single. Question.

White House press corps, I know some of you are shy, so let me help you get started. This isn't fifty questions--I could only fit twenty-one in alt text--but let me know if you need more!
Did you know that Trump himself had not posted the video when you defended it? Why would you accuse people who were offended by a racist video of lying about their reactions? What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made by someone else? What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made without his knowledge? How many people aside from Trump have access to his social media account? Who are those people? Which of Trump's other Truth Social posts were posted by someone else? How can anyone be sure that posts under Trump's name come from Trump? Why should anyone believe that this particular post did not come from Trump since it is consistent with his well-reported history of racist remarks and conduct? If people can't be sure any post is his, why should anyone take any post under his name either literally or seriously? What was the impulse for the staffer to make that post? Has the staffer been disciplined in any way? Will the staffer continue to have access to his account? What does it say about Trump's judgment that he would choose a staffer with this kind of judgment to have access to his account? Is the anonymous staffer a hastily invented concoction to which you pivoted once you realized that the story was going to outgrow your attempts to dismiss it? How do you react to the almost universal condemnation of the post? The President's late-night posting sprees are filled with lapses in taste and judgment as well as threats and pronouncements that go nowhere. What does that say about the President's emotional stability? What does it say about the President's honesty? What does it say about the President's credibility? Hasn't your own credibility been damaged by your defense of something widely seen as indefensible? What does it say about you that you were comfortable not only defending the video but attacking those who were offended by it? Doesn't the amount of lying Trump does, and that you do for him, undermine your ability to be trusted on anything?

The Patriots have been in so many Super Bowls that it's practically a sure thing that some history will repeat on Sunday. But which parts of history? www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/06/s...
What can 11 Patriots Super Bowls teach us about No. 12? Let’s hope some of this history repeats. - The Boston Globe
A funny sense of deja vu can happen when a football franchise makes a habit over a generation or two of appearing in Super Bowls.
