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).

With a couple of days before the Super Bowl, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell found himself discussing a topic that even he's got to be sick of by now. Wouldn't he rather pour over the details of the commemorative coin toss coin? Or the commercial he's really looking forward to seeing? On how many times fans at the game in Glendale will have to hold up colored cards to become part of the action of the halftime show?

Today, we're not going to talk about YouKnowWhat XLII. Because there's nothing to talk about. Today, we're going to celebrate two big wins from our two local winter teams. (We will remind you, however, that we'll be live-blogging YouKnowWhat XLII starting 7:30ish on Sunday. Get your commentin' fingers in shape.)

--Remember the old line from Crocodile Dundee when Mick (Paul Hogan) is threatened by a tough guy with a switchblade? And then Mick whips out a much larger knife and declares, "That's not a knife! [brandishes knife] Now that's a knife!" Well, imagine that scene in Framingham. With guns and way scarier. A store clerk in Framingham went all Crocodile Dundee on an aspiring robber by trumping the robber with a bigger gun. A guy...

Any time you can sweep a doubleheader against the defending AL Champs and the second-best team in the league, you have to view that as a pretty good sign. So plenty of smiles all around at Fenway yesterday. The first game was all about the pitching; Julian Tavarez went seven innings, giving up one run on four hits, and then Okajima and Papelbon sealed the deal, vaporizing the Tigers for an inning apiece as the...

The brackets are here. Get it, and hide it from your boss! On second thought, your boss probably has one, too. The No. 1 seeds are Florida, North Carolina, Kansas, and Ohio State. Boston College is a seventh seed and will play against 10th seeded Texas Tech. At least they know what they'll be getting into with coach/professional nutter Bobby Knight. The Patriots buying frenzy continues, and they may have acquired a player who will...

Bostonist had the opportunity to attend the ART's stage adaptation of "Wings of Desire" this week. We're a little embarrassed to admit that we haven't seen the film, so we won't be offering any comparisons.

The Berwick is one of the city’s treasures. While achieving some notoriety for throwing some rock shows that quickly got shut down, the Berwick is a thriving institute that runs on a volunteer basis, commissioning ideas and art from around the area. According to Director of Administration, Mary Fuller, the Berwick is thriving, with interesting programs such as their Artist In Residency Series featuring Eugene Tan's performance garments that "wear the wearer" and the Satellite Projects, which will feature the debut of a buscycle. It's gratifying to see how the Berwick supports art. It’s never too early to make a donation (you want a tax deduction, right?) or to get on a mailing list, and poking around the Berwick site will get you in touch with some of the city’s most dazzling minds. Artists throw the best parties, after all, and they could use the support.
