A very brief Redux today, since we're saving our best stuff for the YouKnowWhat XLII Live-Blog, which will start around 5:30 (not 7:30 as we earlier reported).

Bostonist was at a bar last night. Hey, it happens. Everything was good and fun, until the TV (sans sound) flashed a news report: "Brady Seen In Cast". We weren't around for the JFK assassination, but now we have a pretty good idea what the terrified hush that fell over the nation felt like. A couple panicked phone calls later, we weren't any closer to an explanation.

Media man Rupert Murdoch is ruffling some feathers here in Boston as a Globe columnist reported today that he’s looking to print the ever-classy NY Post here in Massachusetts. Why bother printing up here in Boston, you ask? Murdoch owned the Herald until 1994 when he was forced to sell the paper after federal law said he couldn’t own two media outlets in one market. He sold it to Pat Purcell, who had been running the Herald for the previous 10 years for him and continues in that roll now as owner of Herald Media, Inc. Although Purcell and Murdoch were once on the same team, it looks like Murdoch is looking to take his new business over to Morrissey Boulevard. He’s in negotiations to have the Boston Globe start printing 30,000-40,000 copies a day of the Post and they’ll be distributed using the Globe delivery service.
