Brian Scalabrine claims Jaylen Brown ‘demanded’ trade from Boston amid Jayson Tatum rift

The sudden breakup of longtime Boston Celtics co-stars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum remains unexplained, and the two former champions’ recent comments have only intensified questions about what exactly happened between them. Brown opened the offseason by saying last year was the best of his career, which drew confusion since Tatum missed most of the season with injury and the Celtics lost in the first round of the playoffs. The veteran forward was drawn into trade rumors with Giannis Antetokounmpo shortly after, and ultimately dealt to Philadelphia. The move left the Celtics unequivocally Tatum’s team. In a social media video last week, Tatum claimed he was “caught off guard” by the Brown trade. Brown responded by claiming Tatum was lying, then added that while he had no beef toward Tatum, there was “a little lamb chops and some gravy” between them. The feud is shaping up to be the…

New England Patriots Acquire Defender Who Once Had 12 Sacks

The New England Patriots added outside linebacker Jose Ramirez to their practice squad on Monday as part of ongoing adjustments to the unit, the team announced. The move brings back a familiar edge defender who has already logged time with the club this season while the team manages depth amid various personnel issues. Ramirez, a 27-year-old from Lake Alfred, Florida, entered the league as a sixth-round selection by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2023 NFL Draft. He starred at Eastern Michigan, where he earned MAC Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2022 after posting a school-record 12 sacks along with 19.5 tackles for loss. That production, combined with his quickness and technique as an undersized edge rusher, made him an intriguing Day 3 prospect despite limited starting experience early in his college career. His professional path has been circuitous. After spending his rookie…

Harris returns to New Hampshire to stump for Democrats

(The Center Square) — Former Vice President Kamala Harris visited New Hampshire on Saturday to stump for U.S. Senate candidate Chris Pappas and other Democrats ahead of the pivotal midterm election. Harris returned to the state for the first time since the 2024 presidential campaign to headline a get-out-the-vote and phone-banking event in Portsmouth with her husband, Doug Emhoff, and attend campaign events with Pappas, House candidate Stefany Shaheen, and New Hampshire gubernatorial candidate Cinde Warmington. The former vice president, who lost to Republican Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, called the president a "tyrant" and said his administration is "the most callous, corrupt and incompetent" in U.S. history. The former California lawmaker urged Democrats to intensify voter turnout efforts, with less than two weeks until the Nov. 3 election. "This is that moment…

Changes to Endangered Species Act called concerning

After recent changes to the federal rules for enforcing the Endangered Species Act, conservation groups worry that the state’s threatened and endangered species will have fewer protections from water pollution and habitat loss. Ben Prater, the Southeast program director for the conservation group Defenders of Wildlife, called the changes a “complete erasure” of protections for endangered animals. “[It’s] a very unforgiving, targeted approach that strips away really any of the regulatory teeth that for 50 years have helped to sustain dedicated efforts to identify when species are in trouble and to act swiftly to ensure that the species themselves aren’t directly impacted, but most importantly, the habitat that these species depend on is not destroyed and impacted,” Prater said. Enacted in 1973, the Endangered Species Act makes it illegal to kill or harm endangered animals, protects…
