El Presidente of Barstool Sports got a kick out of the Copley Square pillow fight, orchestrated by the Banditos Misterosos. However, it isn't for the reasons you'd think: Now I got to be honest here. I’m kind of pissed I missed this one. I would have loved to start mashing these freaks with pillows. Because the thing about hippies is that they think a pillow fight is all fun and games. But where I......

--Find out where to meet up on March 6 to ask Rep. Ed Markey (aka "Biz Markey") to support Cape Wind. [Blue Mass Group, more on Cape Wind from Bostonist] --Holy crap.

[Third Decade] --Valentine's is coming up, and one local website offers......

--A possible idea for Banditos Misteriosos? It might beat No Pants 2K8, if only for the reason that your bare thighs wouldn't have to touch any part of an MBTA car. [b0st0n LiveJournal] --Barstool Sports has no love for Arlen Specter now that Specter is mucking around with VideoTapeGate. A sample line: "Next up on the agenda, investigating the role of WWF referees in world title victory by Andre the Giant over Hulk Hogan in......

As Boston and New York brace for another symbolic sports showdown in the form of the Super Bowl, New York media outlets are busy painting Tom Brady as a "girlie man." Radar threw down the gauntlet, sneering that Boston was "New York's partial-birth kid brother" (klassy) and reminding us that Brady is hanging out in New York City before the game, hardy har. Might they be hiding some inferiority complexes of their own? The New......

Who is that swinger-lookin' 70s dude that the Celtics insist on flashing up on the Jumbotron during games? Why, that's Gino--the unofficial team mascot who is capturing the hearts of players and fans alike! The clip in which Gino appears is from '70s era "American Bandstand." He resembles Adrian Zmed of "TJ Hooker" fame, only with a lot more facial hair, and he knows how to work his sexy snake hips. Once you see......

Bostonist just wrote that Jason Varitek appeals to the angel side of our personalities, but Manny Ramirez appeals to the lil' devil within. Someone on YouTube captured Manny inviting everyone at the Rally over to his house for drinks. We first saw this on Barstool Sports, our source for the fun Red Sox news, and we were stunned: Is he insane? Did anyone take him up on it? He's lucky that those arrested for post-victory......

We're on the verge of Red Sox Burnout and looking forward to the Pats-Colts game (live blog Sunday!), but the Red Sox keep on impressing us with their victory laps. We are loving captain and catcher Jason Varitek right now. Varitek appeals to the angel side of Bostonist's personality. He wears Cosby sweaters and hands out Halloween candy. What's not to love about that? According to the Globe, Varitek gave the kiddies--and their parents--a treat......

A breast-feeding Harvard Medical School student won an appeal to get extra time to take an exam because she said she might have problems if she doesn't have enough time to pump her breast milk. Sophie Currier has been at the center of debates over whether or not she is getting special treatment since she is already taking the 9-hour test over two days because she has dyslexia and ADHD. The National Board of Medical......

If you've been worried about how New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is handling the fine handed down to him by the NFL for videotaping his opponents' signals, don't cry for him, Argentina. Not only did he hand the asses of the entire San Diego Chargers football team to Charger coach Norv Turner, the fine they gave him is tax-deductible. A group of tax law professors determined that the fine qualified as "an ordinary and......

Last night featured one of those "How the hell did that happen?" games in which the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Red Sox 6 to 1. Much of the credit goes to the Blue Jays' Frank Thomas, who homered three times, two of those times off Tim Wakefield. Guess Thomas just has a taste for knuckleballs. And now, we'll get to an image that blows our minds - pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka in a Teletubby outfit.......

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has decided that the Patriots violated league rules by videotaping the Jets' signals during Sunday's game. Pats coach Bill Belichick has apologized publicly. Belichick's statement at the conference was a tad slippery: Although it remains a league matter, I want to apologize to everyone who has been affected, most of all ownership, staff and players. Following the league's decision, I will have further comment. Uh, Coach Belichick, you might want to......

Who knew panty models were straight-up cold, nay heartless? Gisele Bundchen, panty model and arm candy to Tom Brady, bought Brady's newborn with Bridget Moynahan a onesie. At first glance, that seems nice in a "sorry I stole your boyfriend" kind of way. But girlfriend bought a onesie with the word "SUPERMODEL" right across the front. You can see the picture of a snotty-looking Bundchen and the offending item at the New York Daily News.......

A hot-pink color scheme. A dead ringer for Kate Bosworth on the cover. A first chapter that opens with lyrics from Loverboy's "Workin' for the Weekend." No kidding. Restless Virgins, a book on the Milton Academy sex scandal, just screams, "Bourgeois sex! Bourgeois sex! Yippee skippy!" The sex scandal in question didn't involve teachers (Exhibit A: Arlington's school system) but a 2005 incident in which one girl was - ahem - orally satisfying the sexual......

On the same day that the Herald runs a story about a real problem involving rising violence in the school system, readers also get to hear more griping about a fake problem – ice-cream men who are too noisy. Michele McPhee quotes one woman as saying, "You talk about road rage. I have ice cream truck rage.” She then added, “You think it’s a silly thing, loud ice cream truck music, until you live it."......

We don't have Boston College to root for in the NCAA anymore, but a Boston College pennant has made quite an impact on the local media and BC's law school. A law student named Adrienne E. Reynolds posed for the free mag Barstool Sports, which specializes in sports talk and images of scantily clad women. On the cover of the "March Madness" issue, Reynolds was wearing nothing but a BC pennant and white briefs. Some......
