The much-maligned Borges makes a strong case that the media is making a mistake and over reacting to Moss' comments - a 135-word, 53-second comment which CBS Sports trumpeted as an "exclusive interview" with Moss.
Ron Borges may indeed morph into Wrong Borges any time he writes anything to do with Bill Belichick, but this is actually a solid column in my opinion. If nothing else he gets a thums up for calling out Felger.
Quote:
For those 135 words he’s been ripped on local radio, TV and in print as if he uttered some blasphemy like, “Bill Belichick is not a genius.”
What’s the big deal?
Certainly there are reasons to criticize Moss. He at times takes plays off. Yet, the truth is if you put a spyglass on almost anyone for every play you’ll find that a few times jogging is the preferred form of locomotion. If a wide receiver does it problems can develop, however, so Moss opens himself up to criticism.
But short of that, what has he done to engender the kind of bile thrown at him by folks like 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Michael Felger, who spoke about Moss as if he caught him in his underwear drawer?
Borges points out to all those that were concerned about his missing a practice that Moss seldom practiced on Wednesdays all last year, and that he and Logan Mankins are the only two players to have played offense in every game three years. Borges also goes on to compare Moss' production with that of other top receivers in the game during that time period and notes Reggie Wayne is the only other top receiver to appear in all 48 games - and he has 21 fewer touchdowns than Moss.
Now I know there are some that would prefer - make that insist - on not clicking on a Ron Borges article. So if you prefer Ian Rapoport has a summary with some quotes from his blog, which is how I found Borges' column.
Re: Patriots WR Randy Moss finds an ally in Herald columnist Ron Borges?
Mostly because Randy's comments were "unflattering" toward the Patriots. Apparently, Borges still buys into the "taking plays off" bit, so I'm rather nonplussed.
Then again, I love Borges. I just HAD to have some of his wisdom in my signature for all to see.

Taylor was asked about what Randy Moss is like as a teammate, and he had plenty of positive things to say. “Randy’s misunderstood form the outside looking in, for the most part,” Taylor said. “In this locker room, you would love to have him as a teammate. I’m sure the receivers do. Everybody else, he’s always trying to get a little energy, a little spark from the players. You know: ‘Hey, guys, let’s go. Keep your head up.’ In a nutshell, he’s an awesome teammate. I don’t want to get carried away, but he’s a great teammate to have.”

Got it.
Not sure why anyone thinks he's made any valid points here. He's still a moron.
