Ron Borges, an award-winning journalist with the Boston Globe for 24 years, is leaving the paper to pursue new projects in sports journalism, he announced today.

Said Globe sports editor Joe Sullivan, ''Ron has made a major contribution to the sports pages of the Globe. His independent voice will be missed.''

Borges covered the NFL and boxing most recently for the Globe.


LYIN' ??? Ronnie must have been told he was fired, or he could resign....

Awww.

Happy Days

LOL. Justice. F YOU, Borges.

Hopefully Mike Reiss gets the HOF vote then.

 

[italia44]

actually......he's leaving to head up North Korea's counterfeit money operation.

Thinking about the whole series of events, it must have gone down like this:

- Globe suspends Borges
- Borges is SERIOUSLY wounded, outraged, etc.
- Borges decides to quit in a huff. But...
- He realizes that if he quits under those circumstances, it will look like he was fired rather than stalking off. (Everyone would assume it was one of those phony "accepted the resignation of" deals.) So...
- Borges decides to hold his tongue, bide his time and return from suspension to write one long, strong, well-researched article about the Patriots as a kissoff. Then kisses off.

We should have realized he'd never really come back to the Globe. Would you want to return to an employer who (rightly or wrongly) publicly humiliated you?

Buh-bye, Ron.

hilarious

 

[DrewWho?]

while he is gone, his "writing" is immortal. Case and point:

"On a day when they [patriots] could have had impact players David Terrell or Koren Robinson or the second-best tackle in the draft in Kenyatta Walker, they took Georgia defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who had 1 sacks last season in the pass-happy SEC and is too tall to play tackle at 6-6 and too slow to play defensive end. This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon."

I forgot to add.

And to open a KINKOS franchise.Thank God he's finaly gone,it's about five years to late. And Ron don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Hahaha! Down goes one of the Boston media pests.

We'll never really know, and we probably should not expend more than 10 seconds wondering, but I thought the same exact thing you did.

This better NOT be a joke. Ding Dong the witch is dead.

Cannot recall the last time i disagreed with patch.
But i think that version is backwards.

Doesn't it make MORE sense if
the Globe, not the plagiarist, is the offended and angry party ...
but the employer ... sensitive, compassionate, and progressive as it yearns to be ...
arranges to minimize the humiliation to its cherished gadfly
... after realizing that they just plain can't take any more of his mischigas ?

The Globe has offered some of their long time writers retirement severence packages (Eileen McNamara was one who took the package.)

You probably couldn't take the package if you were on suspension so Bogus had to come back in order to "accept" it.

Here's a frightening thought. Does this mean that now that he has no one to reign him in we'll hear more of his outrageous crap?

Churchbells ring throughout New England!

The Borges era is OVER!

OVER

Amen. The mass is over. Let us go in peace.

Borges still writes for MSNBC.com. He takes shots at the Pats from the national stage too. Example...
