Terrible article. The author is clueless. He assumes that all fans WANT to enjoy games, that most people have propensity towards joy over misery. He clearly hasn't read one of our gameday threads.

Gonna disagree, really enjoy Bruce Allen and his Boston Sports Media Site.. this is fairly well written..

It is more an indictment of the media, rather than the fan...

After a win like that, do you say “Wow, I can’t believe they pulled that one out?” Or do you say, “Man, Josh Gordon ran all over them, and they needed a gift pass interference call from the refs to beat a lousy team?” or “I’d liked for them to have pulled off the comeback without a questionable call in their favor.” or “I don’t like winning this way.” I’m not saying doing the latter makes you less of a fan, but it does make me question how much you actually enjoy watching the team play. OK, strike that, if winning like that is not enjoyable to you, then why are you watching at all?

It doesn’t help that we have media members in town who actively troll fans on Twitter during the game, and then attack the fans in columns after the game. I don’t get it. Well, I do. Trolling is now an accepted form of getting attention, even if you look and sound like a complete moron. It’s sports radio, taken to 140 character chunks.

I think Mountain was being sarcastic...

Sums up how I feel.

Mike Reiss has been banging the same drum for a while too: Enjoy the journey.

Very entertaining website. If you dislike many members of the Boston media, you will enjoy this site. He(Bruce Allen) regularly skewers yahoos like Felger, Borges, et al. He even has a link called "The Shaughnessy Watch.". Priceless stuff.
