Funny or Die tom brady 2:56 pm, May 29th, 2012   VIDEO (Funny or Die) Tom Brady gets mocked for his “Boston” accent in a new sketch for Funny or Die. In the video below, the New England Patriots quarterback attempts to shop for Under Armour in a L.A. sporting goods store, but instead is lambasted for his Bostonian pronunciation by an annoying salesman. A fellow shopper also confuses him for Matt Damon. It’s funny because Brady is actually from California, and he really doesn’t have much Continue reading >>>

Tom Brady shows his comedic side in a new Under Armour video produced with the Funny or Die website. The New England Patriots quarterback gets confused with a Bostonian when he visits a Dick’s Sporting Goods store in his native California to pick up Under Armour Coldblack Golf gear and a store clerk recognizes his supposed Boston accent. An exasperated Brady finally lets loose on the clerk, three fellow shoppers and a life-sized cardboard standup of himself: “I’m not from Boston, I’m from California,” Brady says in the video. “I’m a native Californian. I went to Michigan. Now Continue reading >>>

Listen, I’m a Bostonian. I learned the game of basketball watching Larry Bird and listening to my father’s stories of Red Auerbach‘s Celtics of old. Cleaning out some old stuff from my parents house over the weekend, I found a Reggie Lewis collage from 20 years ago. Do I see the NBA through green-colored glasses at times? Probably. Then again, I’m one of the guys who a couple months ago had the Celtics as a seventh seed losing in the first round, so I like to think I can take a step back and look at games and series and seasons rationally. Not when it comes to LeBron James, Dwyane Wade Continue reading >>>

B-Tracks member Soren Jahan will release his first album next month under the name René Audiard. Entitled Pechorin, the album comes less than a year after Jahan's record debut as one half of B-Tracks, his project with fellow Bostonian John Barera. Jahan and Barera launched Supply Records last September and have put out two of their own EPs on the label since then. The fledgling imprint has already turned a few heads, earning recommendations from Hard Wax and landing the duo a gig at Panorama Bar—their first booking outside their hometown. Working on his own, Jahan sounds a bit deeper and darker Continue reading >>>

Thursday nights at Goat and Compass in Wilmington’s Brooklyn district go a little something like this: a cute bartender humoring a regular, a Bostonian with the accent, $3.50 Blue Moons, Miami swinging triple digits against the Pacers, lights dim but not too dim, Lou Reed in the speakers, “Doo do doo do doo do do doo …” “I come here even when I’m off,” says 34-year-old Christie Ann, the bartender. “We have great patrons, and they usually act right.” When I arrive, Larry Crose, the Bostonian, is the only customer in the bar. He moved here for work, he tells me, and lives Continue reading >>>

TIMES are challenging and we must get our laughs where we can, so before I write about the US presidential election on which so much depends, I must share with you the story of Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren, Democratic candidate for the senate seat of Massachusetts. This senatorial seat was a Democratic redoubt from 1952, when John F Kennedy defeated the Brahmin Bostonian Henry Cabot Lodge. But in 2010, after Ted Kennedy's death, it was recaptured for the Republican Party -- to general liberal consternation -- by the little-known Scott Brown. Warren has become a national laughing Continue reading >>>
