Kings receive: Jaylen Brown Celtics receive: DeMar DeRozan, Domantas Sabonis and three first-round picks "The particulars here are fluid. The Celtics might be able to squeeze more draft capital from Sacramento or add another small contract (like Luka Garza’s) to decrease their payroll and make ducking the tax that much easier. DeRozan’s contr...

A World Cup fan spent $6,143 on StubHub tickets for her and friends to attend a match between Scotland and Haiti in Boston. Then just minutes before the match began, their tickets were refunded, leaving them unable to attend the game they’d been planning to see for months. Now she’s warning others not to buy from StubHub. Skylie ( @skylietravels ) recently posted a TikTok about the experience. She claims StubHub repeatedly confirmed that her tickets would be available up to four hours before the match, but ultimately pulled the rug on her and her group at the last minute. She isn’t the only one claiming to have this experience during the World Cup. Credit: Simon Fearn-Imagn Images What happened on the day of the World Cup game?

The World Cup starts at 9pm. Me and my party of four p...

How realistic is 1,000-yard season for Patriots WR Romeo Doubs?

-
Romeo Doubs will have his share of challenges to record his first career 1,000-yard season in 2025 with the New England Patriots. Doubs initially signed with the Patriots in free agency this offseason to be the team’s No. 1 receiver following the team’s decision to release Stefon Diggs. The California native took the next step in his career in 2025 as a member of the Green Bay Packers , having recorded a career-high 724 receiving yards on 55 receptions. However, with the vast majority of Diggs’ targets in line to have gone to him next season, Doubs had the potential to see his targets be in the ballpark of 100 in 2026. Now with star wide receiver A.J. Brown in town as the clear-cut No. 1 receiver for the Patriots, Doubs will be the secondary option in the offense next season. The Patriots are a pass-heavy offense, but have many other mouths to feed, including Hunter Henry, who will be Doubs’ main competition for targets behind Brown. Henry received the second-most targets for New Engl...
