I Gotta Have More Pino!

This man puts his pants on one leg at a time. But when he puts on his pants, he makes champions!

A few days ago, we posted our video from our first myTown shoot we did with Yardbarker and Wondershot. We asked Red's Army's John Karalis to join us that day and make a fun little cameo (which he does around the :40 mark of the vid).

We hadn't realized he was shooting some vid of his own, featuring our favorite restaurant owner...

Have A Wicked Hahd-Coah Christmas, Guy.

My guess is this is what every single Christmas carol sounds like to Tawmmy from Quinzee.



It takes a minute or two to drop the first of the Pats/C's/SAWX! references, but what do you expect when a Boston-centric video is performed by a guy in a Cincinnati Reds Hat. OW-AH SINGLE LETTAH HATS ARE MO-AH TIMELESS THAN ANY OTHAHS! NO ONE DENIES THIS!

"We'll Fackin Look at Whoeva We Wanna Fackin Look At"

From today's Boston Globe:

Police from communities across the state have repeatedly tapped into the state's criminal records system to improperly access information on celebrities and "high-profile citizens," according to a scathing audit released yesterday that also branded the system as obsolete and flawed.

Sports figures include: Tom Brady "968 times - seeking anything from his driver's license photo and home address, to whether he had purchased a gun" and "repeated searches and queries" on...Celtics star Paul Pierce, and Red Sox owner John Henry.

Be an HHR Puppeteer

Tonight, the chief will be representing HHR (along with some of our friends from Yardbarker) at an online advertising network event (couple hundred people roughly) with open bar and after party in Boston. He worries his night may be boring. To prevent that, we've decided to make him our little puppet. After all, if he just does random shit all night, he'll be a crazy person. But if he does random shit because he is told to by our readers and staff, well then he's just loyal to our community.

So here's the deal...

chief will be handing out very creative and uniquely "huggable" business cards. While he's at it, we want to put him on a little scavenger hunt and have him photographically document it.

Here's what the HHR staff came up with. We need your help with some creative tasks.

Photo evidence of the chief:

1. With the hottest woman there.
2. Charging a drink to YB's tab.
3. White socks with dress shoes (that is not the chief himself).
4. Visibly drunk person (that is not the chief himself).
5. Someone named Harold.
6. Someone in inappropriate "business" attire (that is not the chief himself).
7. A creepily mustachioed person celebrating Movember (that is not the chief himself).
8. The man with the "gayest" drink.
9. Anyone wearing a jersey.

Assassin Ave: Is our long national nightmare finally over?

Back in 2001, the Patriots were kinda cute with who dat Tom Brady's appearance after Bledsoes's injury, the Tuck Rule and the Super Bowl win over the Rams. And who couldn't root for a team called the Patriots after 9-11? No one really felt any ownership of the LA errrr St Louis Rams anyway. The Greatest Show on Turf never rang true.

Same thing with the Red Sox. I admit it -- I found the come back against the Yankers in '04 thrilling. The team doing shots before games, making the impossible happen. It was great. I even cheered for the Sox in bars with the chief during the World Series.

Eventually though it all went sour. Cockiness always does. We began to have enough of these teams and the city as a whole. From Belichick's bad attitude to Spygate to Red Sox fans trying to gloss over the fact that their "rag-tag" team was the second highest paid in the game -- it all became fairly revolting. But it just wouldn't stop.

The glimmer of hope the Super Bowl loss gave us was stolen by the Celtics win.

But now, it seems, our long national nightmare may finally be over. First Brady's injury exposed the hubris of the Patriots organization. Really guys? A back-up who hasn't started since high school? And now the Red Sox lose to the Rays, a team that actually is what the Sox pretend to be - a loveable underdog.

It just all seems too good to be true.

So see you later Boston. Go back to the cowpaths from which you came. The rest of us are sick of you and happy to see you go.

"Oh, it looks good on you though"

"Oh, this is the worst-looking tie I ever saw. What, when you buy a tie like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?"

From page 30 of the Sporting News' "Let's fellate Boston" issue (October 13, 2008).

All these years, all those rings, a handful of affairs, and this guy still can't dress himself.

Leitch makes huge career move, becomes a blogger?

I am not sure if this is a step down for former Deadspin editor Will Leitch or proof that the MSM has finally begun to embrace bloggers and hired the former king of the mountain.

BOSTON (August 18, 2008) – WEEI.com announced today the additions of six first-rate journalists joining its staff, along with the first upgrade to the website’s content and design. Joining WEEI.com editor Rob Bradford and columnist Mike Felger are a collection of top print and online journalists with excellent experience and reputations both in Boston and nationally.

Will Leitch, the founder of popular sports blog Deadspin.com, will be joining WEEI.com to provide an outsider’s look at Boston sports and its fans. Leitch has authored three books, including “God Save the Fan” and is currently a contributing editor to New York Magazine.

In fact, Leitch's first blog is up today. (EDITOR'S UPDATE- check out the sidebar in Leitch's column. He is a huge fan of this very blog's founders. We are humbled.)

It's an interesting concept for a running column on a Boston radio/website but it just seems like a desperate move to pull a big name blogger and hope his legions of fans translate to page views. Of course, they made sure to hire a fan of a team they've already beaten in a World Series just a few summers ago. They can only take so much.

Another interested tidbit in the announcement is the hiring of former Globe writer Ron Borges. I am not sure if he will be doing his own column or just plagerizing everything Leitch and the rest of the new crew write.

Boston Loves Their Pats, Celts, Sox & Boobies (Oh yeah, and Bruins)

MSNBC's Willie Geist has a story about a Boston developer using a bikini model to help sell condos.

The Canton Park Condominiums in Canton, Massachusetts are giving away "a fabulous 2 bedroom condo" and "some other really great prizes too like Cash or Gas cards or Gift cards!"

What do you have to do?

One way is to write an essay or record a video submission telling them what make YOU the biggest Boston sports fan.
