Roger Goodell returns to Foxborough tonight to attend his first regular-season game since the 2015 AFC championship, when the drama of Deflategate first stirred. Technically it’s not the commissioner’s first trip to Gillette Stadium, but it’s his first real visit since suspending quarterback Tom Brady for four games and cementing his status among Patriots fans as Public Enemy No. 1.

by Arthur L. Caplan & Lee H. Igel People’s beliefs about war monuments, social movements, immigrants, and even the severity of hurricanes seem to be creating widespread division and disagreement everywhere you look these days. Athletes choosing to protest the national anthem shows that sports aren’t immune to discord, either. But leave it to sports to also offer a rare bit of good news about bringing people together, as hockey…

New for the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season, a driver that goes to a backup car will have to start at the rear of the field regardless of circumstances. Current regulations allow a driver to retain his or her starting positions if the driver starts the race in a car that was used during qualifications. In other words, the current protocol only sends drivers to the…

A woman considered to be one of the top up-and-coming female drivers in NASCAR said she would “love to have a tampon on the side of my car.” Julia Landauer, who competes in NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series West, made the statement to Bloomberg Businessweek magazine in a profile of her and her racing career in its Sept. 4 edition. Her point: Female and unisex family brands are missing out by…

It’s actually most similar to New Hampshire and Phoenix’s flat…

New York Mets mascot Mr. Met plays to the crowd during the team’s 2005 home opener at Shea Stadium. (Gregory Bull/AP) On June 28, 1871, the Philadelphia Athletics — not, incidentally, the team that later became the Kansas City Athletics and then the Oakland Athletics — traveled to Troy, N.Y., to play the Troy Haymakers in a game of “base-ball.” It was the first season in which a professional league…

Welcome back to another installment of “If the First Half Didn’t Exist,” an annual tradition that serves two purposes. The first is to remind you that we pay far, far too much attention to everything that happens in the first half of the season. The other is to acknowledge that we might not pay enough attention to what’s been happening in the second half of the season. The first half…

Editor’s note: This story is part of our Fit Row series that focuses on the health and fitness aspects of racing and its superstar drivers. Presented by Lilly Diabetes, the exclusive diabetes health partner of NASCAR, the series will feature 10 themed stories. Clint Bowyer’s fitness regimen might go light on structure, but it goes heavy on staying busy. Running a 650-acre farm tends to make that a requirement. For Bowyer,…
