I think the better caption would be, "Doubting Thomas".

You can always count on Borges to pee on the Patriots parade. Like the grinch, it makes him miserable to see the citizens of Whoville (read Patriots Nation) happy.

Every king needs a jester....BB has his too. Long live/write Ron Borges!

If that were only true. As someone else here already mentioned, I too was expecting a GREAT read today, but as I sat down with my coffee instead I get some hockey crap, and Borges as basically the SOLE coverage (with a back page mini-article by Reiss?!?!

This was perhaps the most exciting important off-season day in Patriots history!!!!

Where was the "Pats go Wild in Free Agency" headline, the full page spread listing the new guys, their history, player stats, and all that? Where were the photos of each addition? Where was the historical look at Pats off-season moves up to now? Was this the most aggressive year in history?

If you want to have a "Don't get too excited" spin article in the midst of all of that, well then it's ok. But when the jester is the only coverage, it's clear the entire focus of the paper is to downplay the move.

This goes beyond Borges. You have to wonder if someone higher up at the Globe didn't want the Pats and football "gettin' to uppity" (don't them Pats know their place is not to upstage baseball and the Red Sox?

)

I sent an email to their editor. My subscription is canceled as of today.

I like this guy, Borges. He's pretty good.

Wtf. Nice Newspaper. Who gives a **** about the Bruins.

That's OK. I flipped on EEI yesterday in the car, hoping to catch a little talk about the Pats free agent moves. They were doing an all-day marathon of Jason Varetec talk. Great. Just want I want to hear...sports talk about a catcher with a career .240 batting average. Just shoot me now.
