Default Shaughnessy blasts Patriots over tickets, parking, time

http://www.boston.com/sports/footbal...here_you_look/

I know, I was dumb to look at his article, but I am amazed at the venom he spewed. Calling it consumer fraud that the Pats charge full price for tickets and parking for pre-season games.

I'd say to avoid the article at all costs, but that would just get you to read it...

I will go with the first half of your last line and avoid it when I visit BG's Pats site. Thanks for the heads-up!

I don't read his articles anymore. When I see his byline, I know it's not about football. It's about Dan.

I'd already read it -- a complete waste of trees.

The whole article is unbelievably lazy. It has no original information, no interesting ideas, and is written in an "attention-grabbing" but, in the end, totally boring style.

Bingo. And the guy is a walking advertisement for serotonin medications.

Wow, all this hatred because Kraft didnt invite him to a breakfast 15 years ago. Shaughnessy is such a clown (although I secretly cringe about the parking situation this year.)

He does leave out the fact that every NFL team charges full price for preseason games. He also leaves out the fact that Kraft didn't force his season tix holders to buy PSL's for the new stadium (unlike every other owner who builds a new stadium).

Dan Shaughnessy is a cheap b a s t a r d, just like most reporters.

Tell him to stick to baseball. We don't need him around football!

Borges and Shaughnessy two malcontents, who let their own personal experiences, dictate their so called "objective" reporting... get over it Dan, one nice thing about this country is if we want to go to Gillette tonite it is our choice..

FYI, CHB actually reads e-mails you send him, but be advised - and Curt Schill can attest to this - he actually enjoys criticism and enjoys being disliked. He's the Borges type - insecure to the point where his only defense is to take disapproval, dislike and criticism and turn it into a false sense of superiority over people he decides are below him.

I try not to read his articles now. I'll avoid this one as well.

Shaugnessy is a hack who only keeps his job by sucking up to his employer's financial interests at the expense of his journalistic integrity.

Boston Globe Official Position Statement, as interpreted by Shank:

"Imagine the upstart Patriots, only 47 years old, and playing "in the boonies" 25 miles from the "hub of the universe" (snort! ), challenging the Red Sox (and our investment in them) for the hearts of New England sports fans? The audacity! The chutzpa! The sheer arrogance!"
