On top of that the texans don't care what some hack baseball writer from boston says, its not like a patriot player or coach said it. Only the texans fans care, and those who come here know what we think of The Skank and his views.

Well said..LOL

The only reason Shaughnessy is doing this is to come out and slam the Pats if they lose to the Texans. This guy gets off on stuff like that.

Understand this:

1) The owners of the Boston Globe hate the New England Patriots. In their minds, they are competition for the Red Sox.

2) The owners of the Boston Globe hate Robert Kraft (whom their hired gun, Shaughnessy, has called "Amos Alonzo Kraft" for over a decade and a half).

3) Shaughnessy, Will McDonough and every hack politician in South Boston (along with the convicted felon Massachusetts Speaker of the House during the 90's) actively muddied Kraft's name to keep a Patriots stadium out of Boston.

Look, I understand some fans don't understand the larger, social and economic forces behind a seemingly inncuous and stupid column by an attention getting whore. But if you think there isn't a bigger agenda at work there........

Actually, I ignorantly had no idea it was that political. My bad.

I hate when these non football (baseball rump boys) mediots (shaughnessy/mazz etc..) try to minimalize the work at hand for the Patriots. They can't wait for football to be over so they can talk about their wittle wittle wed sockies

Am I cluelessly missing the sarcasm here? Cause yeah, I do think there is no bigger agenda at work.

It takes a heck of a conspiracy theory to say that a newspaper is scheming to undermine a local sports team by running POSITIVE articles about them. Or by using a nickname for the team's owner that links him to a seminal figure in football history. (What's next, Bill "Lombardi" Belichick? The horrors!)

If he called him "Amos Alonzo Kraft", that sounds like a compliment.

A lot of sturm and drang over nothing. No one will care what some guy says.

You are really giving this guy the benefit of the doubt. You know more about launching space ships than Shaughnessy knows about football (if you are in fact a rocket scientist I reserve the right to change my analogy).

No problem, Double. A lot of people don't. However, it is very deep and ingrained in the psyche of much of the older guard in the Boston Globe newsroom. They see themselves as the Last Bastion.
