Brissett’s been waiting on his moment since 2012…
And then it came…
And then Blount smoked some Texans…
What a game.

Year of the GOAT confirmed. This past weekend the greatest basketball player of all time (Michael Jordan) and the greatest football player of all time (Tom Brady) got together for a pickup basketball game at Baker’s Bay Ocean & Golf Club in the Bahamas. The two later played a game of pickup golf with PGA golfer Keegan Bradley (last pic).

There’s currently more snow on the ground in Boston than ever before in recorded history. Between a series of four major snowstorms in less than a month — as well as ongoing freezing cold temperatures — the snow is just piling up (and not melting). The sheer volume of snow in Boston right now is unprecedented, and therein lies the biggest problem the City of Boston and its residents are facing: too much snow. Following yesterday’s blizzard, the Blue Hills Observatory in Milton reported 46 inches of snow on the ground, the greatest snow depth in their 130 years of recorded observations…
Since the Valentine’s Weekend Blizzard, Boston’s official “snow depth” has not been recorded at Logan Airport, but based on the below snow depth report (2/16) for the greater Boston area, it’s probably safe to assume there’s at least 40+ inches of snow is on the ground in Boston proper right now…

Suffice to say, Boston is buried in snow right now (to historic proportions), and in light of that, we collected a bunch of social media images of the city following yesterday’s blizzard. Boston is going through tough times right now, and at the same time, there’s a certain harmony amidst the chaos…

UPDATE: Due to a successful initiative, Only In Boston & The Boston Calendar have partnered with the Red Sox to extend this offer until Wednesday!
Itās time to help dig Boston out of this blizzard. Thanks to Only In Boston, The Boston Calendar, & the Red Sox, claim responsibility for clearing out fire hydrants after Winter Storm Neptune & get rewarded Sox tickets for your efforts.
How does this work?
If you (or group of people) clear out 5 fire hydrants of snow sometime now til 3:00pm, Wednesday, February 18th, 2015, we will award you a pair of Red Sox tickets to this upcoming 2015 season.
Q&A:
Q: Which fire hydrants can I clear out?
A: Eligible fire hydrants are those located in the city of Boston (including associated neighborhoods listed on the map linked to below)
Q: What does clearing out a fire hydrant mean?
A: Firefighters need the area 3 feet around the fire hydrant (with path to street) in order for it to be considered clear. Please do not shovel snow into the street.
Q: How will we know that you cleared out a fire hydrant?
A: Email onlyinbos[@]gmail.com with the following information:
- Address or street of where the fire hydrant is located.
- Continue the same process for all fire hydrants cleared.
- A before shot selfie of the non shoveled fire hydrant & a post shoveled out fire hydrant selfie that shows the cleared out fire hydrant. The post shot should be clear enough for us to determine that a fire hydrant has been cleared 3 feet all around.
Q: Where are fire hydrants located in Boston?
A: Use the following link: boston.maps.arcgis.com
Q: What if weāre a group of 3+ people?
A: For every group that clears out 5 fire hydrants, weāll award them two tickets. If a group of two clears out 5 hydrants, weāll award 2 tickets (1 ticket each). If you are a group of 3 people, youāll need to clear 10 fire hydrants in order to get 4 tickets.
Q: How many Red Sox tickets will we give out?
A: Until supply lasts. Weāll let everyone know on our social media if tickets have ran out.
