--More snow on the way tonight! Get your space-savers ready! [WBZ] --Danny Ainge and Robert Kraft are Mitt Men. [Boston Herald] --Another fire, this time at a nursing home in Jamaica Plain early this morning. But a heroic rescue team managed to get a resident who was suffering a heart attack out of harm's way, and no one else got hurt. [WHDH] --Police are still looking for the remains of the man who died......

Here comes red meat for the Weekly Dig's Media Farm: Yesterday the Globe decided to share the holiday cards it received with the public and show just how uncool the great unwashed really are. In fact, whoever put the slide show together said as much: "You may not have received Christmas and other holiday cards from the likes of Caroline Kennedy, Bob Kraft, NASCAR, and the Red Sox -- but we did." Now we're......

--Another snowstorm is on its way and is expected to have its greatest impact tonight. [WCVB] --Speaking of snow, Bostonist has the temperature and weather-condition icons at the top left of the home page. If you click on that icon, you'll get all the latest weather news. --People got cold in order to protest the heat of global warming during yesterday's Polar Bear Plunge in Concord. [AP/Globe] --Patriots owner Robert Kraft is partnering with......

Let's give a hand to the Boston Red Sox: they're on the cutting edge. During a late (to us, anyway) Friday night game in Seattle, the team continued to show fans the new dance craze that's poised to sweep the (Red Sox) Nation: the Third Base Shuffle. It's easier than the Frug, more athletic than the Lean Back and only slightly more annoying to witness than the Macarena. All you have to do is wind......

Today it seems like anyone can get an honorary degree. Even Pats owner Robert Kraft got one at this year's UMass-Boston graduation. But some honorary degrees get sticky. For example, twenty years ago, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe received an honorary degree at UMass. Today, UMass trustees are reconsidering their decision today. According to the Globe, "the Undergraduate Student Senate at UMass-Boston unanimously passed a request to retract the degree." And for good reason. Although he......

--New England Patriots player Marquise Hill died last night after a jet ski accident. While jet skiing in Lake Ponchartrain, Louisiana, he and a woman "hit a wave and fell off." Hill, a defensive end, rescued the woman, who couldn't swim. He got her to a pylon, but then he vanished as a boat tried to reach him. Numerous agencies tried to find him, but, unfortunately, the Coast Guard called off the search for Hill......

Bostonist was walking past the hustle and bustle of Fenway Park on Friday afternoon when we finally identified that nagging feeling that had been with us ever since the Park Street station. We had seen more Baltimore Orioles jerseys, hats and T-shirts in an hour than we saw all day when we traveled to Camden Yards last season! What was going on? Everyone knows that the orange-accented Baltimore ballpark is known fondly in Red Sox......

Bostonist knows... Bostonist knows... Spring Training is wrapping up, and the boys of summer are due north in a couple weeks time, so most of this space will be dedicated to our beloved Red Sox over the next few months. But, Bostonist has some unfinished business with the New England Patriots organization, Head Coach Bill Belichick, and owner Robert Kraft. As all Bostonists are now aware, the Pats lost some pretty large parts this......

Ever since Patriots owner Robert Kraft gave Russian President Vladimir Putin his Super Bowl Championship Ring, to look at, Bostonist has been resorting to our childhood phrase: "see with your eyes not with your hands." Kraft made a statement on patriots.com yesterday afternoon that the ring was, in fact, a gift to the Russian President, and not a misinterpreted gesture. No word from Vladi on how he might return the favor to Kraft. Perhaps with......

Every time he’s out in public the Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft has one of those blue button down shirts with the white collar and cuffs. Bostonist appreciates this look only on men who have grey or white hair. Tom Brokaw was able to pull this look off, but we wouldn’t think of asking Matt Lauer or Brian Williams to attempt it. Anyone under 50 looks a little funny in these shirts. Bostonist doesn’t really......
