The Phillies have split the first two of their three-game series with the Red Sox in Boston, with outstanding starting pitching from Zack Wheeler and Andrew Painter and a quiet few days in Beantown from the bats. Host John Stolnis of The Good Phight recaps all the action, and chats with baseball writer Tim Brown, author of a new Nolan Ryan biography "Nolan: The Singular Life of an American Original."
One of the true feel-good stories in the 2025-26 regular season was the Boston Bruins. Much like the Penguins, the B's summer moves in 2025 did little to suggest a return to the playoffs was at hand.However, also much like the Penguins, the stars produced and others looked at more as middle-to-bottom six types up front delivered a season that enabled Boston to separate themselves from other bubble teams and qualify for the post-season as a second Wild Card.The new challenge in Beantown is whether some of those with surprising seasons can sustain into 2026-27 and how will GM Don Sweeney augment his team with a minimal number of players heading to free agency.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #NHLWraparound.com #ShortShifts #NYCentric #CelebritySeries #HallofFameEdition #StanleyCupdate #SummerCoolers #Smith'sPix #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #SpringCleaning #BostonBruins #DonSweeney #JimMontgomery #JoeSacco #JeremySwayman #BradMarchand #FloridaPanthers #DavidPastrnak #MorganGeekie #EliasLindholm #PavelZacha #ViktorArvidsson #EdmontonOilers #CaseyMittelstadt #MaratKhusnutdinov #MarkKastelic #JonthanAspirot #MasonLohrei #NikitaZadorov #ZdenoChara #JeffreyViel #AnaheimDucks #TampaBatLightning #CharlieCoyle #ColoradoAvalanche #VancouverCanucks #LukasReichel #JamesHagens #AndrewPeeke #JordanHarris #WashingtonCapitals #PittsburghPenguins

Today on America in the MorningChaos In Mexico Tourists from around the world, especially the United States, are hoping to get out of the Mexican resort cities that have been hit by drug cartel violence following the death of one powerful cartel leader. Correspondent Rich Johnson reports the cartel attacks came after a drug kingpin known as “El Mencho” was tracked down and killed by Mexico's government forces. The Northeast Blizzard The Blizzard of 2026 will be remembered as the worst winter storm to hit the Northeast in 30 years, and even though the snow has stopped, the effects of the blizzard will remain for days and weeks. Sue Aller reports from New York, where some places received over 2 feet of snow. State Of The Union Preview President Trump will address the nation tonight in his annual State of the Union address. Correspondent Clayton Neville has a preview. Mar-A-Lago Intruder Killed More is being learned about the armed man who was shot and killed after he breached security at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort Sunday by the Secret Service. Correspondent Julie Walker reports. Congressman Facing Resignation Calls Texas Congressman Tony Gonzales is facing growing pressure to resign amid allegations that he had coerced a sexual relationship with a staff member who later killed herself. Judge Rules On Trump Probe A federal judge has permanently barred the release of special counsel Jack Smith's probe into President Trump's keeping of classified documents. Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports. Blizzard Aftermath It started on Sunday and is finally winding down, but for many between Delaware and Maine, the Blizzard of 2026 has left people under snow measured in feet, mass transportation systems closed down, and airport flight cancellations in the thousands. Correspondent Julie Walker reports a huge snowstorm in the northeast forces millions to stay home and closing schools, and in Boston, this snow event is expected to eclipse Beantown's January blizzard which dumped the 8th highest snow total Boston has ever had. New Epstein Fallout There's more fallout overseas regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files, including another high-profile arrest and a mea-culpa from a famous self-help guru. Correspondent Clayton Neville reports. War Enters Year 5 It was four years ago today that Russia sent a phalanx of tanks and launched air strikes against Ukraine, a military incursion that the Kremlin believed would take days to seize their neighbor and former Soviet satellite state, but instead, four years later, Russia barely holds 20 percent of Ukrainian territory, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops are believed to have died, and hardships for Ukraine's people worsen by the day. Correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports some hardships of a different kind are now befalling Russian citizens far from the fighting. US Orders Some Out Of Lebanon The U.S. State Department ordered non-emergency personnel to evacuate the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. Finally Both the British BATFA Awards, the UK's version of the Oscars, and the BBC are apologizing after a guest with Tourette syndrome shouted racial slurs as two Black actors were onstage, with millions of people watching.

The Lakers and Celtics renew their rivalry as the hated green team from Beantown made their way to LA on Sunday Afternoon. And the Lakers found themselves in a game where nothing seemed to go right, not the offense, where they only scored 39 in the second half, the defense, who allowed Payton Prichard to go off for 30 on 10-14 shooting, or the refs, who missed multiple calls in the second and third quarter that caused the Lakers to lose their composure. This all added up to a dismal performance for the Lakers as they lose 111-89. Tune in as the guys from the Lakers Fast Break share thoughts on the game, the unveiling of the Pat Riley Statue, and what's up ahead for the team in their continuous battle in the Western Conference.

This episode is a first for Decoder Ring: a live show, recorded at the WBUR Festival in Boston, Massachusetts. Given the setting, we decided to take on a Boston-based cultural mystery: namely, the “Boston movie.” Beginning in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Hollywood has churned out a whole cycle of films drenched in Beantown's particularities, crimes, crops, class conflicts, and accents, from The Departed to The Town. Why does a city smaller than El Paso or Jacksonville loom so large in the cinematic imagination? Why does Boston have a movie subgenre all its own? What makes a Boston movie a Boston movie? With the help of three guests—film critic Ty Burr; Lisa Simmons, founder of the Roxbury International Film Festival; and Boston University linguist Danny Erker—we look closely at the history and heyday of the Boston movie: how The Friends of Eddie Coyle set the template, Good Will Hunting shoved the door wide open, and Mystic River ushered in an imperial phase. We discuss the importance of race and class to the Boston movie and the city itself, the role of homegrown movie stars like Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg, and, of course, the best and worst of Boston accents on film. This episode of Decoder Ring was produced by Willa Paskin and Max Freedman. Our team also includes Katie Shepherd and supervising producer Evan Chung. Merritt Jacob is Slate's Technical Director.
