That was the case once again Tuesday morning when the Patriots took a victory lap for their incredible win over the Falcons in Super Bowl LI.  It’s the franchise’s fifth Super Bowl title since 2001, but each parade seems to…

“My first thought was, ‘At my age? No way!’” she told People. “When I turned 30, I was like, ‘This is the last time I’m posing in a bathing suit!’ When this issue comes out, I’ll be 63. I thought, ‘Those days are over.’ But to get to do it with my girls, I thought, ‘One last go!’”

Greatest moment in Boston sports history? Yes. Absolutely. But the mere fact that we’re even having this discussion over what happened at NRG Stadium Sunday night is a hair-raising, bolt-of-lightning reminder of what it’s like to be a Boston sports fan. And that’s just in the last 15 years. It has been joyous, heart-pounding . . . gluttonous. It has been our very own Never Ending Story, with Wally the Green Monster…

Emmanuelle Hauguel/SI Christie Brinkley first covered the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1979 (then set a record by landing the covers for the next two years).

But now, at the age of 63, she’s returning to the SI Swim family, proving her agelessness once again. And this time,…

The Nationals’ owners cannot be called cheap, not when they supported the game’s fifth-highest payroll as recently as 2015. Their decision-making, though,…
