This hit by South Carolina’s Jadeveon Clowney on Michigan’s Vincent Smith in Tuesday’s Outback Bowl was one of the more impressive defensive plays seen in college football in some time — especially considering it changed landscape of entire game.

Our good friend Brad Faxon and Brett Quigley traded their putters for shopping carts in the Stop & Shop and Deutsche Bank Championship (DBC) Supermarket Sweep, a two-minute, speed shopping challenge for charity, to see who could fill their shopping carts with the highest value groceries within the time allotted.

Faxon raced to the checkout line with a grocery bill of $5,018.00, beating rival Quigley who collected $2,070.94. The prize was a $1,500 donation to the charity of the winner’s choice, Blessing in a Backpack.

Appearing with Dennis & Callahan this past Wednesday morning, the morning after the Red Sox moved over .500 for the first time this season, team president and CEO Larry Lucchino extended an invitation to Dennis & Callahan’s own Jon Meterparel to handle Fenway Park PA announcer duties on Thursday night and become a candidate to replace the late Carl Beane.

“We are going to be auditioning a number of people,” Lucchino said. “It’s a highly sought-after position, but our college of cardinals over at Fenway was considering various possibilities and we thought we should invite [Meterparel] to step up to this position and see how it goes.”

What do you think Meter’s response was to the invitation?

“I would be absolutely honored …” Meter said. “This is on my bucket list to do PA at Fenway for one game.”

So Meter sat in Fenway Park’s big chair on Thursday night as the Red Sox took on the Detroit Tigers. You can listen to Dennis & Callahan’s recap from Friday’s show by clicking here.

Below you will find a video and some pictures from his experience as well as some of the tweets he received wishing him well.

Avalanna Routh, along with her parents Aileen and Cameron, pose for a photo with John and Gerry

The adorable Avalanna Routh was diagnosed at 9 months old with a rare brain cancer called AT/RT and has undergone many surgeries over the course of her life. Last August, she put a smile on everyone’s face, when she joined the WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon and proclaimed her love for Justin Bieber (click through for audio and video). In fact, Avalanna had the chance to “marry him” thanks to the Jimmy Fund.

As a result of an aggressive social media campaign (via Facebook and Twitter), Avalanna was finally afforded the chance to meet her “husband,” Justin Bieber on Monday, February 13th. She joined D&C in studio on Valentine’s Day to talk about her special experience.
