Said Globe sports editor Joe Sullivan, ''Ron has made a major contribution to the sports pages of the Globe. His independent voice will be missed.''

Borges covered the NFL and boxing most recently for the Globe.


LYIN' ??? Ronnie must have been told he was fired, or he could resign....

Thinking about the whole series of events, it must have gone down like this:

- Globe suspends Borges
- Borges is SERIOUSLY wounded, outraged, etc.
- Borges decides to quit in a huff. But...
- He realizes that if he quits under those circumstances, it will look like he was fired rather than stalking off. (Everyone would assume it was one of those phony "accepted the resignation of" deals.) So...
- Borges decides to hold his tongue, bide his time and return from suspension to write one long, strong, well-researched article about the Patriots as a kissoff. Then kisses off.

We should have realized he'd never really come back to the Globe. Would you want to return to an employer who (rightly or wrongly) publicly humiliated you?

Buh-bye, Ron.

while he is gone, his "writing" is immortal. Case and point:

"On a day when they [patriots] could have had impact players David Terrell or Koren Robinson or the second-best tackle in the draft in Kenyatta Walker, they took Georgia defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who had 1 sacks last season in the pass-happy SEC and is too tall to play tackle at 6-6 and too slow to play defensive end. This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon."
