Default Tony Massarotti rips Patriots and Pats fans [merged]

Apparently the reason John couldn't do his mea culpa today was because it was his editor's turn to take a shot at saying oops, my bad, let's all be friends again and btw John Tomase is a gem of a reporter...

But that is not the the best part. The Herald's diminutive baseball scribe has had a career threatening meltdown, deciding to step up to the plate to defend his employers lack of integrity by not only tearing down Belichick's yet again - but by insulting any number of his media peers not to mention an entire fan base...

I'm sorry but the dysfunctional family known as the Herald Sports Department is in desperate need of a journalistic intervention as the jump line forms on the career path cliff directly behind Tomase. I have a feeling Maz won't be appearing on the Big Show any more either.

Wow.... that's just stupidity in the face of recent events.

The stupidity, whining and rationalizing... it's just shocking.

I will never read that piece of crap paper again.

Tony's been increasingly melt down prone ever since Theo fired his guy Grady for incompetence. He's had relative vendetta with bloggers including Schilling for a couple of years now. Talk about insecure...

It's almost tragic - he used to be one of the best baseball beat guys in any city. When he was elevated to columnist status and had to start competing for air time as they all do, the competition seemed to wear him down. Very conflicted and increasingly resentful psyche even on his natural turf. I'm sure some of what he's taking out on this franchise and fan base today is subconsciously rooted in his own pre existing angst as a Sox columnist who feels he was shut out over his criticism and marginalized by all the bloggers infringing on his turf at a time when print jobs are disappearing. It's awkward to cover a team who wins after you turned on them. And it's probably unnerving to be primarily a print guy in a market where those jobs are drying up. Not to mention EEI seems to be shifting to former players as opposed to mediot co hosts. Lou Merloni was recently added to their baseball stable and he's a breath of fresh air - even when discussing football or hoops. He's articulate and he has a players perspective and insight.

Rips isn't a strong enough word. He absolutely pummels all of us and only defends the Herald story. I'm stunned. I can't even begin to put into words how sever this hatchet job was.

Massarotti is clearly implying that Walsh being at the walkthrough is every bit the same as taping.

How is a tapeless Walsh any different from every NFL game played in which you can simply watch the sidelines in compliance with the rules?
Walsh without a tape at walkthrough IS the story, Massarotti, whether you like it or not.
To make it out into something it isn't is just more defiance for the hideous decision by that rag to run a story based on heresay surrounding a known liar. Massarotti, you're the hypocrite. YOU and that rag are the hypocrites.
Only you can't see that through your own self righteousness.

ummmm.....wow.

The only thing I can think of to begin to comprehend that article is that he wrote it in a fit of rage after reading the comments section in his buddy Tomase's articles. Either that or the Herald is determined to make sure nobody reads their paper.

Coming from a guy that sounds more FEM than my sister, this sounds like a pathetic little fag fit.

The Big Show had better be done with lady MAZZ after this one.
