I’ve been resisting blogging about the winter sports teams too much just yet, mostly because it’s too early in the season for the Celtics and Bruins are just mediocre, plus writing about the Celtics and Bruins means it’s probably fucking snowing out so I don’t want to bum myself out. But there was a request [...]

According to THR, the producers of the Academy Awards telecast announced today that Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin have [...]

David Ortiz still has three or four good years left?
Well, according to the man himself, he sure does. In an article by John Tomase in today’s Boston Herald, Ortiz acknowledges that he has to do a better job at the plate next year, but he’s confident that he can still be the feared middle-of-the-order hitter we need him to be.

Give me a Weezer Snuggie immediately.
Weezer is now slinging Snuggies out like hot cakes in conjunction with the drop of their new cd “Raditude,” which is in stores right meow. We’re not much for music here at the blog, but I was a mighty big Weezer fan back in the day, and this is marketing at its finest. This is [...]

6NBlog Review: Boondock Saints II
Going into Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, I had low expectations. Leaving Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, I realized Troy Duffy and his crew met them. This is not a good movie. But maybe it’s a better movie than it deserves to be. After 10 years this probably the best sequel Duffy could [...]
