Bostonist called it! Once we wondered if Tom Brady was evolving into his panty model girlfriend Gisele Bundchen. Well, he might be. The New York Post has unleashed a bombshell that Brady, who is a Stetson model and a Smart Water model and an everything model, might be donning Calvin Klein underwear for a new series of ads. The Calvin Klein label has a sweet tooth for New England men, as Mark Wahlberg once......

It looks like it's going to be an easy season for Red Sox beat writers. It looks like all they'll have to do is set up a microphone within half a mile of Jonathan Papelbon, and he'll come a-runnin' with enough material to fill a dozen Notes columns. More, if they can be padded out with 40-year-old rock lyrics (hi, Dan!). So it's the time of the season for Spring Training, and Papelbon held court......

The rumors that JFK fathered a love child who is now living in Canada have not gone away. In fact, they seem to be gaining strength, at least up north. The love child went to the press and revealed some information about himself. His first name is "Jack," of course. The Herald has his full name, but the Toronto Globe & Mail does not. "Jack" wants DNA tests, and he says people stop him and......

It was the rarest of rare occasions: a Beanpot final that didn't involve BU. Instead it was Boston College and Harvard, with the Eagles leading by two midway through the third period. BC almost blew it before taking control in overtime and winning on a Nick Petrecki goal. So two overtime wins for Boston College. And a very relieved Jerry York. BU beat Northeastern in the consolation game. Pitchers and catchers don't have to be......

On top of the loss of his chosen presidential candidate, Barack Obama, in the Massachusetts primaries (debate on the "Kennedy Lift" here), Senator Ted Kennedy now has to deal with more rumors about the Kennedy Clan. The Kennedy Clan has always been a magnet for rumors, some sordid, some not, some true, some not. In this case, whether or not it is true, the latest rumor will have a high-profile mouthpiece in the form of......

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......

You cannot escape the Brady Baby. OK! Magazine released the cover image of its latest issue with Bridget Moynahan and her little boy, John Edward Thomas Moynahan, son of Tom Brady. He's a cute kid. Every news outlet has this image, and the Fox 25 morning crew tried to debate whether or not it was a good idea to put the little baby on the cover so soon. The debate swiftly degenerated into a discussion......

Update: Our Ist-a-Verse family called the individual in this story a "Boston Idiot." We would like to clarify; hence, the photo. Yet another hoser ran across the Fenway Park field yesterday during the Red Sox-Yankees game. In the seventh inning, the guy 20-year-old Charles Gendron, of Maine, ran across the field and grabbed the cap off the head of Robinson Cano, the Yankees' second baseman. NESN cut away from the action, but Bostonist saw......

After a weekend of rain where all we heard was disgruntled Bostonians complaining, because that's what we do best, about the weather we rock into the week. Miraculously the Red Sox managed to play all their games this past weekend making us furiously check the forecast for WBOS' 14th annual EarthFest coming up this weekend. For us it marks the first of many outdoor events that will happen this summer, and it's Memorial Day......

Michael Chabon will read from The Yiddish Policemen's Union on Thursday, May 3, at 6:30 pm at First Parish Church. Tickets can be purchased for $5 from Harvard Book Store. Pulitzer winner Michael Chabon's new book, The Yiddish Policemen's Union, is beyond ambitious – it describes a colony of European Jews that was established during World War II in Sitka, Alaska. It could have happened. Such a plan was under discussion within the FDR administration.......

Like New York City, we've got our newspaper of record. In NYC it's the Times, here it's the Globe. But neither are really any fun. The action happens on the pages of the tabs. The Herald gives us our daily dose of puns in the headlines and 108 point font to let us know what's really important. But our friends at Gothamist have pointed out that the New York Post may have one-upped the Herald......

Tom Brady is awfully busy even though the Pats lost to the Colts. He's a star witness, and he's been wooing Gisele Bundchen. The Globe wonders what the two have in common other than their superhuman bone structures, and they come up with right-wing politics: The New York Post reported yesterday that Gisele refused to meet Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez when she and the Marxist leader were both in Rio last week. Brady, meanwhile, was......

When dads have enough neckties, Dave Barry books, and an endless supply of Old Spice, the Father's Day present can be a tough find. So, instead of looking to the department stores, this year we took dear ol' dad out to Fenway Park. No, not to see an actual game. (How the hell are we suppose to get tickets?) Shelling out $12 per person and joining a group of 60 other Sox fans (with......

Bostonist has been having such a great time watching Romney with his http://www.bostonist.com/archives/2005/09/15/more_romney_presidential_fun.php">eyes on the prize we almost forgot that that Bill Weld is going to run for Governor of New York. The New York Post, that always reputable daily publication in New York City, today brings us the kind of news that makes Bostonist want to rush right out and pick up a copy of the Herald. Robert Byrnes, a former Weld speechwriter,......
