An East Coast bromance wasn’t enough to save Joaquin Souberbielle, who became the next victim of a tribal council blindside on Survivor: Worlds Apart this week. The 27-year-old New Yorker had joined forces with Blue Collar Bostonian Rodney Lavoie Jr., and like “Batman and Robin,” the pair were certain they were running the game. Blinded by their egos, however, the duo ignored the warning signs as the Escameca tribe plotted to disintegrate the power couple as quickly as their bond had formed. And when the final vote was read, the White Collar competitor was shocked. “I don’t remember Continue reading >>>

A 20-year-old man suspected of stabbing a female jogger multiple times is expected to stand trail in a Westminster courtroom Tuesday, an Orange County District Attorney's statement said.

The Boston Red Sox signed Pablo Sandoval, this off-season, for his bat to do the talking. They didn’t expect, nor did Red Sox Nation, that his mouth would show some ‘Kung Fu’ of its own, so early. Trash-talking, whether sports purists like it or not, is a part of the landscape. When you have grown men raised into playing a game for a living, they tend to define themselves by their abilities, and how those skills rank against other men. Between their maturity (or lack thereof) and summoning their inner Muhammad Ali, they try to get a mental edge over their opponents or other players for Continue reading >>>

“When you are really sick where do you go for medical care in Florida?” a friendly Bostonian asked me with a wink when I first moved back to my home state. I looked at him blankly as he delivered the punch line I am now all too familiar with — “The airport!”Florida, with our wacky politics, extreme weather and quirky characters may be fun to joke about, but illness and death are no laughing matter. Palm Beach County is full of very good doctors, but there has been no solid anchor — no academic medical center of excellence. Nearly daily, I insist to patients that if anything were to Continue reading >>>

It wasn't so long ago that Boston, a highway rest stop on the road from New York to Maine, was pining for the world's spotlight and asking to host the Olympic games and generally be the center of attention. My, how things change. Since Boston announced its Olympic bid, the city has gotten approximately 1,647 inches of snow. If you're a reasonable American, you might say to yourself: "If you don't like snow, or racism, get the fuck out of Boston!!!" But try telling this to a Bostonian, and you will be drunkenly assaulted. Some people just don't listen to reason. Anyhow, Continue reading >>>

Ben Stevens, CSOM ‘17, steps in front of the mic. A regiment of desk lamps rest in the first row and Christmas lights are threaded along the chalkboard. Stevens hits the first, quivering, familiar note of Sam Smith’s “Not the Only One.” He descends into an eerie performance of the Grammy winner’s hit, backed by The Bostonians behind him and the homey mood lighting.This is not the first time the Juice vocalist has been compared to Sam Smith, and it’d be disingenuous, criminal to not acknowledge it. Believe it or not, The Bostonian’s “Not the Only One” was better than the one you’ve Continue reading >>>

Boston needs more snow. Please let it snow. This isn't a plea, it's an imperative, a must, a necessity, a demand.Sure we're all burnt out by cabin fever, parking anxiety and T shutdown woes, but we've come too far to have nothing to show for it. We're at 100+, just a scant few inches from the all-time Boston snowfall record. To have arrived at such a precipice of double-cutting distinction, we've endured arctic cold 30 degrees below the seasonal average, fought the space saver fight in close quarters, had roofs cave in and lived through it. To Continue reading >>>
