Angry Oh so brave HERALD STAFF

See this article in the Herald.

http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/c...ormat=comments

Interesting to me was the fact that the writer was talking so tough, but didn't have the stones to sign their name to it. Hiding behind Herald Staff.

Get the impression they didn't want to face BB after writing this? LOSERS.

I can't believe how these Boston writers are biting the hand that feeds them. Disagree if you want, but don't hide when you're throwing stones.

I am not sure what makes you claim this. Those are not the same articles.

As long as one of the articles is signed, I think we can give him a pass for not signing the other one. That may not have been his decision, but rather an editor's.

Now, as for Tomase calling for BB to be suspended -- I wonder what his view is on the suspensions of writers who are caught plagiarizing?

I continue to be amazed at the play this whole thing is getting, more and more am I convinced that the media has one thing in mind, creating more frenzy and more controversy than this whole situation has already done. Time to move on, there will be another scandal soon and hopefully it will be as newsworthy as this one.

Noted in the news this AM there seems to be some middle ground by the national press, but the local (Boston Press) continues to hammer away relentlessly.

Imagine BB answering a question of Tomase at the next Press Conference.

LOL, a profound statement this is not (no offense intended). Of course they want to create a frenzy. Frenzy equals more papers/units/advertising sold. This shaft (pun intended) will be mined for every granule of sensation. It will remain so until the new story that captures attention comes around or it becomes way too played out (whichever comes first).

That is my naivete speaking, for an old guy, never stop being amazed at how crazy this stuff becomes and only adds to my skepticism about all things media.

Guys this is an article I read in the paper version of Saturday's San Diego Union Tribune. I cannot find the article online but the Herald didn't write this. Very strange...

I believe its an editorial and appears in the Opinion section of the actual paper not the sports section. However I haven't read this morning's paper, so I'm not sure. Editorials are the way a newspaper speaks collectively. They aren't signed because the words are the words of the entire paper. As to the content, stuff like 'We agree this probably had no bearing on the Patriots' success over the years, but its fun to speculate, because Belichick is a jerk,' Is the exact reason I see the Herald as vastly inferior to the Globe.

Fine by me. We play best with a chip on our shoulder. And maybe we'll lose some bandwagoners and trolls - let them go drool at Peyton's feet. Maybe he'll moon them
