my head always snaps around when I’m in the middle of a big crowd and somebody yells, “Hey, stupid!’’

Hes a flipper head...

wiggins!

love the headline of the story:

"These e-mailers are happy writing about a wrong"

That's funny Boston Globe, 98 percent of your sports writers/columnists LOVE writing about Boston Sports "wrong's" or "problems" ALL THE FIRGGIN TIME.

They must have forgot what happened to the last journalist ("Tomase") who got on our wrong side. Don't mess with us Boston Globe, if you report BS we will call you out on it.

Except for a few reporters, I think they have been reporting BS for quite some time. Mr. Shaughnessy leads that great group and the recent addition of Mr. Masserotti (don't even bother responding with the correct name please) had this motely group quite lively.

I read the piece and, while I noticed that Dan didn't take back what he said (he just acknowledged the heat he was getting), I nonetheless concluded that it's this kind of article that makes me respect Shaugnessy a lot more than Bob Ryan.

Ryan is just so, so transparently sucking up to the suits at ESPN to get his few minutes of national face time every couple of days. The only way to do that is to jam Brady or the Patriots or, better yet, Belichick, because the yahoos in the ESPN viewer base will eat that **** up all day long.

So, Shaughnessy is a writer I can respect for putting out a follow-up like this. He expressed his opinion. Now, he's acknowledged its unpopularity and given his critics their say in print, with a little self-deprecating humor.

Ryan on the other hand comes across like a self-absorbed, self-important, self-righteous, grump of a snob who forgets that it's his access to the Patriots in the first place that enables him to have the standing with ESPN to say and write the garbage he produces.

Maybe the Patriots' media relations folks should take note of that.

And, maybe the Globe should take note that a measure-able segment of its reader base doesn't think Bob Ryan is all that worth reading any more.

I have to admit that I distinguish between Shaughnessy and Ryan (pls see my post right above or so). Dan at least comes out with this piece that gives his critics their say, with a little humor. Ryan repeatedly trashes the Pats on ESPN just to get air time on that network and doesn't seem to realize how badly most of the readers who pay his salary think of what he says.

To me, Ryan deserves the Tomass treatment.
