The GIST: The Boston Pride are hoisting trophies (again!), while the Celtics refreshed their lineup with some new starpower. Get those duck boats ready.

The GIST: Boston swore in its first woman and first Black mayor yesterday, Patriots offensive tackle (OT) Justin Herron is a literal hero and the Bruins are back? Happy almost weekend indeed, Beantown.

Referee Tim Peel must’ve missed last week’s newsletter

This week in tennis, the NBA, snowboarding, and hockey.

The GIST: The Bruins are on pause ’til Wednesday due to COVID-19 protocols, but there’s plenty of news (including wild rumors) to keep us busy here in the Hub.

The GIST: The Washington Football Team (WFT) kicked off NFL free agency, Capital Alex Ovechkin hit another milestone and well, the less said about the Wizards, the better.

The GIST: On today’s docket? Injury updates, blow-out games, and international intrigue. Yep, sounds like just another week in New York sports.

The GIST: Things are a bit topsy-turvy here in Beantown. The Red Sox added a *gasps* Yankees fan to their ownership group, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is spending big in free agency and the C’s lost on St. Patrick’s Day. Where was Lucky when we needed him?

The GIST: North Texas will be well represented at March Madness, the Mavericks have won five of their last six, the Stars finally picked up a win and we get an extra hour of sunshine? It’s going to be a good week here in the Big D.

This week from the Patriots and college hockey (Boston University, Northeastern, and Boston College).
