Should Borges get booted from the NFL Hall of Fame Committee.. - New England Patriots Forums

I vote yes, this is a no brainer.. forgot how he must have been once thought of as a "prestigious writer", guess his greed and venom for BB have clouded his vision and led to early senility. My suggestion for a replacement from this region, if it is a regional thing, is Tom Curran.

Yes. Blatant Plagiarism.

BTW a poll would have made this thread more exciting.

Yes. Plagiarism is the worst offense you can commit as a writer. It is {should be} a career ending offense. Likewise, it should immediatly disqualify you from any entitlements that "being a writer" may offer..........

Such as HOF voting.

HOF voters are pretty much determined by seniority on their hometown newspapers.

I.e., the decision is effectively bucked back to the Globe.

Besides: HOF choices are based largely on understanding guys as well as their hometown writers do. So that's about the one football-related task Borges IS well-suited for.

Seriously, his columns explaining his HOF opinions are generally among his very few intelligent and interesting ones each year.

He should be fired and booted....

So how's he going to "explain" the expected vicious, "unbiased" rant against BB when he gets nominated to the HOF?!?!

You know, this will be an unpopular opinion, but I will mess Ron every Sunday. His notes column is is great. I have never been able to forgive him for the hack job he did on the 85 Pats, but he is usually right about everything except the Patriots and Belichick. I just hope somebody else picks up the notes column.

Well.. a sportswriter for the globe right on everything but the Pats and BB... Doesn't leave much else =p

He sucks at the draft too.

Yes, when you live by the sword you die by the sword. Put him out of his pathetic misery and us too.
