Very off topic, but did the Pats not have a victory this passed Sunday .. It's been a Red Sox marathon lately .. I've been listening to WFAN for the passed two days .. I get it, they collapsed ..You can only beat this horse for so long .. .. already changed to WFAN, opened with the Red Sox today ..

I think the local media has really missed the boat on the level of interest in the Soxs in general and especially the collapse. Nobody I know including guys who were baseball junkies care. The team they assembled was dull and uninspiring. Plus everybody recognized that even if they got into the playoffs they weren't winning anything.
Now they're starting on the Theo angles to the Cubs. Again nobody cares.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

The Bankofamericasox touch something deep within the Boston psyche: the abiding need to feel bad about something. Bankofamericasox fans feel much more secure when miserable than when things are going well. Please note that I make a firm distinction between Bankofamericasox fans and Patriots fans: success, winning, and overall positivism is MUCH more important to Pats fans, most of whom live outside Boston city limits. The excessive b!tching by callers to local sports radio by Bankofamericasox fans actually is an expression of veiled joy that things finally are back where they belong, and another 86 years of abject mediocrity is under way.
I have no doubt that others here will cry foul at my honest and insightful observation. But in your heart of hearts, you know it is true.

For all the finger-pointing and blaming going on, I really think it all began with the Sox losing John Farrell to Toronto. If you look at Tito and his style of management, it's not so much hierarchical as it is chummy, friend-like.
Farrell was his strong right hand man and was a man you didn't say no to; he could intimidate the pitchers into sticking to their workout routines. In short, he was the enforcer of the coaching staff, and when he left, I think the command and respect that the coaching staff had, left too.
Nothing is more painful to the ears than Gresch/Zo talking baseball or Mutt/Munansky talking Bruins or Patriots.. it is all so contrived and shallow.
Yesterday turned on the big show, were going to dedicate the first two hours to the Red Sox and the second half to Pats.. w/Troy and the weekly interview with BB. WTF happened to Patriots monday???
What is happening now is what happens all the time a manager leaves, and in their quest to exhonerate themselves the upper management is starting to leak crap about how bad the manager was..

In the car yesterday the day after NFL weekend. No Patriots Monday. All Sox talk. Pathetic.

No one here cares. Please reserve all Bankofamericasox talk for the baseball forum.
