"Bye-weeks. Bronco Nagurski didn't get no bye-weeks! And now he's dead! Well, maybe they're a good thing." - Moe, The Simpsons

LAist was comped front row seats by the Dodgers due to Malingering being struck by a foul ball last week, and she came back with some great photos, and earlier made fun of 4th of July on Venice Beach. But the biggest stories of the week was that the Mayor's Hot Tamale was revealed, and that a Kwik-E-Mart was erected in Burbank. Phillyist was busy doing the Fourth of July up right, exercising their...
Just to make things clear, right out of the gate: you're not voting for which Springfield is the Simpson's Springfield, just who gets to host the "hometown premiere" of The Simpsons Movie. Fifteen out of the couple dozen Springfields around the country are hoping to play host to the premiere and have created videos to help convince voters to check their box. Springfield, the fictional town, has been home to the Simpsons and overseen...
Even though the Devern Hansack experiment went horribly wrong Saturday night, the Sox had no choice but to go to the Pawtucket well again Sunday. So they brought up lefty Kason Gabbard to start Sunday's rain-delayed tilt with the Braves. And it went as well as we possibly could have hoped. Gabbard cooled off the Atlanta bats, which were still steaming from Saturday's 14-run nightcap, to the tune of five innings pitched, six hits, two...
It was a tense time at Fenway Saturday. Curt Schilling looked human (or worse). The Sox were suffering from a chronic case of "hitting the ball right at Miguel Tejada". Losing two in a row to the Orioles looked like a distinct possibility.
Twins ace Johan Santana only made it five innings, but that was more than enough to send the Red Sox bats into a tizzy from which they never recovered. The Minnesota bullpen, if anything, was sharper than the starter, and the result was a 2-1 loss and the waste of a very good outing from Sox starter Julian Tavarez.
This Japanese Word of the Day will, we hope, be brought to you by Daisuke Matsuzaka, who will try to use his houri to send the Yankees packing tonight. The Red Sox took game two of the latest Ultimate Regular Season Series yesterday; Josh Beckett recovered from a couple shaky innings to hold New York in check. David Ortiz provided the big hit, as he is wont to do, with a two-run homer around...
Renaissance man Harry Shearer will read from Not Enough Indians at the Coolidge Corner Theatre at 6pm on Monday, December 11. The event is cheap at 2 bucks, and you can stay for a discounted screening of For Your Consideration. Comedian / writer / actor / director / Le Show host Harry Shearer has a knack of either soaring to the heights or plummeting to earth. His multiple achievements include his work voicing Ned Flanders,...
Bostonist loves it when a cartoon show will animate a real life Bostonian and weave them into their plot line. Tom Brady has already been featured on “The Simpsons” and most recently, “The Family Guy." Besides that awful episode of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”, the Red Sox haven’t been featured on many non-sports related television shows. Well, this morning WGBH changed all that by having a few Sox players from past and present turn into somewhat freaky cartoon versions of themselves on the kids’ show “Arthur.” Johnny Damon, Mike Timlin, and Edgar Renteria all leant their voices and likeness to three animated creatures who play baseball for a team called the Grebes. Damon is a bear named Playmon, Timlin is a deer named Winlin, and Renteria is also a bear named Bateria. (Can we all appreciate the double entendre that WGBH has created, please?) Of course, the Grebes help Arthur and his team win their first championship since 1918. And the strangest part of it all? The animal versions of the Sox players truly resemble them; Winlin's scruffy goatee makes him even more believable as Timlin.
We’ve got no business showing you this video. It is certainly not Boston-related, but we really got a kick out of it and thought it worth sharing. It may not be as contagious as Lazy Sunday (or Brokeback Sunday?), or the latest Portman rap (at least she went to school here). What we have here is simply a British, live-action version of the Simpsons intro. We’re going to justify giving this a spot on Bostonist with a shout out to the western half of the Commonwealth (Yo Springfield!). We also hope that it serves to raise awareness of the rumblings up north at New England’s own Vermont Yankee nuke-plant, whose plans to crank up the power have been put on hold for the time being.
Just yesterday, Bostonist shared an interesting tract about world history, the mafia, the domestication of zebras, and the Simpsons, which was posted as a comment to our site. No sooner had we finished sharing that enlightening tidbit, than we received in our inbox what purports to be a letter to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales (or Gomzales, as his name is written elsewhere in the letter), complaining about some complicated, fraudulent scheme involving body doubles...
The way things work here at Bostonist headquarters, when one of our beloved readers has an important observation about something we've written and posts it in the form of a clever comment, Moveable Type quickly sends a copy of that missive to the e-mail account of the person who wrote the post. Sadly, there are those selfish individuals roaming the wide open spaces of the internet who take advantage of this simple system to get...
Sure, so the New England Patriots will not be suiting up for next week’s Super Bowl, but that doesn’t mean you have to be all depressed or anything. The Pats will keep showing up on the television without stepping foot on the field. You might recall last year’s Simpsons episode when Tom Brady lent his voice and cartoon-likeness to the show. Well, it seems Brady is also a fan of another Fox show, “The...
Brady might have two (well, let's count on a third) Superbowl titles, but starring in a Simpsons' episode...now that's big.
