Sideshow Dan, Wrong Borges, and Batty Jackie need to go. Boston deserves better quality writers who can capture our sports scene the way it deserves to be covered.

Keep those quotes coming!

I can't tell you how many times this guy has been wrong. But, his writing is so smug and so righteous, truly the literary version of dragging nails across the blackboard.

I'm also a little envious of his complete homerism. Why can't there at least be ONE rah-rah guy in the Boston print media.

Here's some of his recent finer works:

Hilarious stuff. I remember this geek when he was on Inside the NFL years ago.

Here's the deal, until someone writes a column with the words "Andrew Walker" and "worst organization in all of professional sports" when talking about Randy Moss' problems in Oakland, then they might be able to be taken seriously. Predictably none have because hysteria is the low lying fruit to these morons.

Jackie MacMullan? Are you serious? You actually listen to what that lady ever has to say on that show?

Now if Woody Paige had said that, I'd be irate(

), but Jackie MacMullan? Come on now

Gary Myers is a Homer who has been beside himself for years at the success of the Patriots and takes every opportunity to go in the tank for the boys in the Meadowlands. So, when I saw the Headline, I skimmed the first paragraph and tossed it. He does know the game and writes well, though.

I personally have given up on seeing anything positive out of the new england media but it is somewhat our fault for accually caring by reading and listening to what they say

"The Patriots made a desperate move by trading for Randy Moss, clearly a move made directly to counter the New York Jets drafting Revis."

That seems to be a widespread perception, if not among league front offices, then at least team fandom.

But trust me - by the time next January rolls around, many, many of these teams (and their fans) are going to find out through first-person experience just what the functional definition of "desperate" is.

Much to their chagrin....

Clearly...

Hearing all that negativity by the press doesn’t surprise me. Actually makes me happy. It’ll just piss off Brady, Moss and the rest of the company. The last thing we need is the press turning Pats friendly. That would be a disaster.
