INteresting exchange between Felger and Borges, that happened on October 26th, apparently Borges somehow was representing or preparing Bledsoe for his meeting with BB...and he felt that BB lied to his "client". Don't understand all of the dynamics, but Borges feels that BB is a great coach and a lousy person, awaiting to give him his induction speech when he goes into the HOF.. I am sure that is going to happen.

A transcript of a segment of the Mike Felger show on ESPN Boston yesterday afternoon, regarding the time 5 years ago when Bill Belichick made the decision to stick with Tom Brady even after Bledsoe was ready to play again. Borges claims he felt Belichick made the right decision, but didn't like how it was handled:


Borges: What I was up in arms about was the fact that he LIED to the guy about what the situation was gonna be in terms of what he had to do to win his job back.

Felger: OK, let me ask you about that. Why do we care so much that a football coach lies? What?s the diff? He?s a football coach!

Borges: Well, because I think if you want your players, to?I just don?t think it?s a smart way to deal with the players. If you want to lie to me, fine, they make a living doing that. They want to lie to you, they lie to you everyday.

Felger: How did Belichick lie? What did he say to Drew?

Borges: What Bledsoe said to him at the original meeting, when he was cleared to practice, and I know this firsthand, for a lot of reasons,

Felger: Why?you were sitting there on the couch?

Borges: I PREPARED THE GUY TO GO MEET HIM! Quite frankly!

Now that is utterly bizarre. Borges stepped 100 yards out of bounds in his capacity as a journalist covering the team if that is true. It's as if he was trying to be a Will McDonough. And to think my lack of respect for this jerk couldn't get any lower.

5 Rings for Brady!!

In any other place on earth besides Boston, Borges would have been fired long ago as a hack. But around here, he can't seem to get enough media awards. Don't know how, but it keeps happening.

He is a jerk who hits crippled people, and has a hatred over little things which never ever dies. He also is incapable of working in reality. It really doesn't matter why he says what he says, or why he feels how he feels. He is a lunatic, and that is explanation enough.

Only in Boston.

I wouldn't be surprised if Belichick had planned to start Drew until he found out Borges was working with him.

Drewwho

well, in that case...GOD LOVE BORGES!!!!!

Boston Magazine has a feature article on Bogus this month, I haven't read it but Dave Scott, who has a column on BSMW, notes that Bogus in his attempt to explain why he prefers Tony Dungy as a coach says, "at least Tony Dungy has never been on the cover of a tabloid for non-football reasons."

Apparently Bogus conveniently forgot that Dungy’s son COMMITTED SUICIDE last year which put him squarely in the tabloids. It was a horrible thing and Dungy seemed to receive universal sympathy (as he should have) but it was nevertheless a big non-football related story which one could argue hurt the team as it headed into the playoffs. I just hate Bogus.

That is SO bogus!!! He's hated BB for years, well before that "tabloid" Boston Herald turned his personal life public! Good lord what a loser!!!

There's something seriously wrong with the NFL HOF if Borges is allowed to be anything more than a spectator at BB's induction ceremony. Any person who works for a football team has to accept the fact that its not about them, its about the team almost all the time. Unless you earn the right to go into Canton. That one day, its about you. If the hall won't give that day to Belichick he should seriously consider boycotting.

Oh and if Borges is now saying that he felt that Brady should have been the starter all along he's lying through his teeth. It was so clear in his comments and writing that he thought BB was wrong its not even funny. I hate to have to admit that I was a Bledsoe guy right up 'till the confetti started flying after 36; but I'd hate myself even more if I just changed the past to make myself look better.

Let's not forget that Borges himself was in the tabloids... something about beating up on a crippled man.

excellent point.
