Another batch of American Community Survey data from 2007 was released by the United States Census Bureau today. Here’s a couple of quickie top line data that may be of general interest: Total population for Boston in 2007: 613,117 (almost 14,000 more than the actual population estimate released earlier this year for Boston in 2007).

When the New England Patriots opened Patriots Hall last week they apparently also opened a vortex in time that sent the team back to 1990. Holy God, the Patriots looked terrible in today’s loss 38-13 to the Miami Dolphins, Let’s see… Our first receiver has quit on the season, our third receiver was our fourth [...]

The hotel we all know as The Buckminster, but is actually named Boston Hotel Buckminster, has set up an entry canopy. Looking good: To think it was only four years ago that that cops busted five allegedly armed alleged dealers who’d set up shop in the hotel.

Remember the debate in August over whether the New England Patriots could possibly carry five runningbacks and three tight ends? Well, they did for a while, but not anymore. Now it’s six runningbacks and only two tight ends (Scot Benson wins! I lose! At least this week). Yes, the Patriots have stocked their roster with [...]

Below is a photo I snapped of an WRKO-branded SUV in Kenmore Square the very same day, July 24, 2007, that it was reported that Howie Carr was going to move to WTKK (a move that never came about because of contractual obligations that were upheld by a Massachusetts court). Notice the banner in the [...]

Since Matt Cassel is going to get his first ever regular season start as quarterback for the New England Patriots on Sunday it seems appropriate to link to the off-season episode of PFW In Progress where Patriots star wide receiver Wes Welker refers to Cassel as a “tall, skinny benchwarmer”* and describes Cassel’s job as [...]

That’s the new talking point in pro-amnesty advocacy. How can we put this in Bush/McCain terms? Perhaps, “they’re only coming here to fill the battered-women shelters that Americans can’t be bothered to fill.”

New England Patriots added Matt Gutierrez to their practice squad today. Patriots signed Gutierrez as an undrafted free agent last year and kept him on their 53-man roster last season as third-string quarterback behind Tom Brady and Matt Cassel. Last spring they drafted Kevin O’Connell from San Diego State University with a third-round draft pick, [...]
