LATEST STORIES FROM THE AWESOME BOSTON
Home Video Of Maple Leafs Fans Watching The Bruins Win Game 7 in OT
A.B. Nothing is more satisfying than watching these Toronto fans suffer the agony of defeat. I have no personal problem with any of these specific Leafs fans (in fact I respect their passion) but after seeing & hearing what the people of Toronto are capable of, I hope they never win the cup again.
Example #1: “Toronto Stronger” asshole.
Example #2: Marinus Calamari‘s comment...
MFK, Boston Bruins Edition: Playoff Player Of The Game Accessories
A.B. Here’s a little background for those of you who don’t stalk the Boston Bruins like a few of the writers here do (online stalking only, of course):
For the past 3 years, the Boston Bruins have selected a unique fashion accessory to be worn post-game by the player of the game. The tradition started with a vintage Boston Bruins windbreaker during the 2011 Stanley Cup run and...
State Board Expected to Approve $500 Million Fenway Center Development
Boston Globe:
Governor Deval Patrick’s administration has struck a deal to allow construction of Fenway Center, a $500 million mega-development in Boston that would transform scrubby parking lots near the storied ballpark into a bustling complex of homes, stores, offices, and parking.
If, as expected, a state board approves the lease next week, construction could begin by the...
Milan Lucic Gives Dion Phaneuf A Post Game Junk ‘Love Tap’
A.B. Post-playoff-series handshakes are one of the greatest parts of the NHL. After beating the crap out of each other for 7 straight games for the right to advance one more round closer to the cup, grown men put aside their hatreds and shake hands at center ice.
And as surprising as the Boston Bruins comeback tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs was, there was something...
Why Is Dunkin Donuts The Only Place New Englanders Are Friendly?
A.B. I started noticing it as a kid when my dad would stop for coffee on the way to early morning hockey tournaments. People coming out of Dunkin Donuts at 5am smiling ear to ear, going out of their way to hold the door open for every person entering like they were on crutches or pregnant. But the weird thing about these happy-go-lucky door holders is that if you cut them off on...
Boston Bruins Players Pre-Game
Several Boston Bruins players (Tyler Seguin, Nathan Horton, Johnny Boychuck, Dennis Seidenberg, Brad Marchand, and David Krejci) kicked a soccer ball around prior to their afternoon practice at the ACC on Tuesday, May 7th.
A.B. There is something memorizing about watching these Bruins players kick & head a soccer ball around. I don’t know if I’m more impressed by the fact...
Boston Red Sox Clay Buchholz’s ‘Mystery Cheating Substance’ Identified
Yahoo.com:
Yahoo! Sports’ own Jeff Passan found out what Boston Red Sox right-hander Clay Buchholz was putting on his arm recently. It wasn’t only rosin, as Buchholz claimed, and the reason it looks like sweat is because it goes on clear. And — depending on your definition of a spitball — it’s not something to help him throw illegal pitches, per se, as Toronto Blue...
4 Former Boston Sports Icons Celebrate Boston Strong Night In Georgia
Boston.com:
Boston sports stars Jason Varitek, Matt Ryan, Rodney Harrison, and Dee Brown helped the Gwinnett Braves and Pawtucket Red Sox celebrate a Boston Strong Night on Tuesday at Gwinnett’s stadium in Lawrenceville, Ga.
All four have connections to both Boston and Georgia, and they threw out the first pitches at Coolray Field. A portion of ticket sales went to One Fund Boston...
Tom Brady & Gisele Bundchen Embrace The Met Gala’s 2013 PUNK Theme
A.B. According to Business Insider, “This year’s theme for the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is “PUNK: Chaos to Couture” and Tom Brady is embracing it.”
For a couple worth well over $500 million, if not double that, this isn’t a bad punk pose picture. Did we really expect them to arrive wearing ripped leather pants, Rancid & Ramones patches...
I Hate “Toronto Stronger” Maple Leafs Fan With Every Fiber Of My Being
A.B. I haven’t been one to go overboard with the whole Boston Strong movement. I put the Boston Strong donation banner on this site, bought a Barstool t-shirt with proceeds going to the victims and avoided posting any stories that gave terrorist #1 & #2 any credit for their cowardly actions. But other than that, I have just gone about my normal life – my own personal message...
Tom Brady Says He Is Partially Motivated By An 85-Year Old Sushi Chef
CBS Boston:
Still, past missteps serve only as motivation for Brady, and when he takes the field in September, he’ll be wholly focused on the task at hand. That’s due mostly to Brady’s inner drive, but he said that his determination was aided by — of all things — a documentary on an 85-year-old chef’s quest to improve upon his sushi.
“It smacked me in the face as a...
Boston Sports Rivals With Boston Colors To Honor Marathon Tradgedy
A.B. There have been all sorts of tributes displayed to the city of Boston through sports over the last few weeks. Some of my favorites include Sweet Caroline being played at MLB stadiums, the Florida Panthers wearing Boston police hats in warm ups and the United We Stand sign at Yankee Stadium.
But while tributes like these are awesome and get national attention, I’m a bigger...
Jaromir Jagr Enjoys A Pre Game Skate With Short Shorts & A Winter Hat
A.B. When you are a 41-year old, guaranteed first-ballot hall of famer, with almost 1,700 career points – you can do and wear whatever the hell you want.
That being said, this pre-game outfit of choice is odd, even for Jaromir Jagr. Short shorts, skates and a winter hat are three things I never thought I would put in the same sentence.
But to Jagr’s defense, maybe it has something...
Red Sox Shane Victorino Pays Tribute To Kriss Kross’ Chris Kelly
Very unfortunate news! #KrisKross had me wearing my clothes backwards as a kid! #RIPChrisKelly
— Shane Victorino (@ShaneVictorino) May 2, 2013
A.B. Jump by Kriss Kross is pretty much the anthem of the 80′s-baby generation. I was 8 in 1992 when Jump came out and for the next 20 years it would be played at every dance, prom, cocktail, Bar-Mitzvah and wedding I attended. The only...

Thief Returns Bike With Cake Coupon After Getting ‘White Girl Wasted’
A.B. “Straight white girl wasted” is my new go-to term for getting drunk. Forget getting hammered, blacked out, ********* and all the other classics. It’s straight white girl wasted from here on out. Phrase of the century. H/T Obvious Winner
A Message To The Boston Marathon Bombing Conspiracy Theorists
A.B. Who doesn’t love a good conspiracy theory? Conspiracy theories make us, the general public, feel like we are part of an investigation or an unsolved mystery; like we are Indiana Jones searching for the Holy Grail. A good conspiracy theory makes us feel like we are part of something bigger than our 9-5 lives and helps us escape from the monotony. But most importantly, conspiracy...
Massachusetts To Host 2013 Annual American Gerbil Society Show
Boston Magazine:
Cats and dogs get all of the glory of participating in fancy pageants and winning prizes for their breed and looks. But now, rodents are getting a chance to strut their stuff during the annual American Gerbil Society show, from May 3-4, 2013, in Bedford, Mass.
“This year’s show features a banquet and competitive judging sessions, where the animals will be rated...
Boston Websites, TV & Radio Go Silent For Boston Marathon Tribute
A.B. At 2:50pm today – April 22nd, 2013 – local Boston websites, TV stations and radio stations went silent/black to pay tribute to those injured and killed by the Boston Marathon bombings exactly one week ago.
According to CBS, the blackout extended across many different (and competing) major Boston stations:
Boston radio stations are planning to go silent for one minute next...
Message From: Watertown, Massachusetts – To: Terrorist In A Boat
A.B. We will not refer to asshole suspect terrorist #2 by name here at The Awesome Boston. Have fun in federal prison asshole.
FCC Will Not Fine David Ortiz For Fenway F-Word
CNN:
A Red Sox star used blue language, but he won’t be fined any green for his emotional reaction the day after police captured marathon bombing suspect Dzhokar Tsarnaev.
To the contrary, longtime Boston icon David “Big Papi” Ortiz’s use of profanity has been Federal Communications Commission-approved.
In a ceremony before the Red Sox took on the Kansas City Royals at a...
Boston Bruins National Anthem Singer Rene Rancourt Says He Needed Help
Boston.com:
Boston Bruins national anthem singer Rene Rancourt said Wednesday night’s stirring rendition of the national anthem at Boston’s first major sports event since the Marathon bombing was his most memorable ever.
He also said he worried about being able to get through it. He began the anthem, then put down his microphone and let the TD Garden crowd take it from there...
CLASSY MOVE
Marchand raffles suite for victim
Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand is raffling away a suite to a playoff game in order to help the family of a Marathon victim.
Stephen Colbert & Jon Stewart Pay Tribute To The City Of Boston
A.B. While Jon Stewart’s tribute was a little more serious and from the heart, Stephen Colbert absolutely nailed it when paying tribute to the City of Boston:
“Whoever did this obviously did not know sh*t about the people of Boston. Because nothing these terrorists do can shake them.
For Pete’s sake, Boston was founded by the Pilgrims; a people so tough, they had to buckle...
