It appears Big Papi will be taking his talents off the field and producing a show for MTV with fellow MLB all star, Andrew McCutchen to produce a 30 episode series for MTV Networks.  The show will be filmed at the old Tower Records building in NYC; now the home of MLB’s Fan Cave.

Apparently, Ortiz won the hearts of MTV execs (what’s not to love?!) when he walked around enemy territory asking for hugs from Yankee fans.  Ortiz and MTV execs believe that it will be easy to bring musicians and ball players together because players want to be musicians and vice versa.

We obviously wish Big Papi luck in anything that he does but the whole idea is a little concerning…What do you think?

“Thought you guys over at Chowdaheadz would like this body painting Rob did on Rhonda Julian, founder of Paint Her Pink.  She was battling breast cancer and is now in remission and wanted Rob to do a World Series theme painting on her in honor of her beating breast cancer and the Sox winning the Championship.”

This is Wicked Awesome!  Congrats to Rhonda on her remission!

There is truly nothing better than a good old fashioned ugly holiday sweater, right?

 Well, we at Chowdaheadz had to get in the game; have you seen our Boston-themed Ugly Sweater Design yet?

 (To be clear, it is not a real, made by grandma sweater; it’s a design we offer on a T-Shirt and a Hoodie)

Whether it’s you wearing one or your Aunt Betty at the Elks Christmas Party or just a random amazing sweater on the train…we want to see it!

Between now and New Years, we want to see your Ugly Holiday Sweaters!  Share them with us using the Hashtag #UglySweatahz

 (Also, they make for a great Throwback Thursday pic too so plan accordingly)

The geographical center of Boston is in Roxbury.

Due North of the center we find the South End

This is not to be confused with South Boston which lies directly East from the South End.

North of the South End is East Boston and Southwest of East Boston is the North End.

Harvard Bridge

The Bridge connecting Boston and Cambridge via Massachusetts Avenue is commonly known as the Harvard Bridge.

When it was built, the state offered to name the bridge for the Cambridge school that could present the best claim for the honor.

Harvard submitted an essay detailing its contributions to education in America, concluding that it deserved the honor of having a bridge leading into Cambridge named for the institution.

MIT did a structural analysis of the bridge and found it so full of defects that they agreed that it should be named for Harvard.

This is all true
