Borges on WEEI
 
I'm listening to WEEI right now with Ordway, Neumeir, and Borges. My goodness, is Borges always this big a jerk? I know he doesn't seem to like the Pats, which is fine with me, but man, all the guy does is yell and scream and act like a big douche.

Is this the way he is in real life or is this just his media personality?

From all reports, that's just who Borges is. He's the only local media guy I hate more than Felger, and it's not even close.

according to peter king this is what borges wrote last week

Quote:

"Take away the Patriots from Bill Belichick and what is he? A gym teacher with better jewelry, no disrespect to gym teachers intended.''
-- Ron Borges, columnist for the Boston Herald, in a scathing column critical of Belichick for trading Randy Moss.

Remember, Borges is the guy who hit a 60 something year old reporter who wears a neck brace and walks with a cane...

Not to mention he is a plagiarist and bold-faced liar.

So, in short, yes, Borges has always been as you describe.

Wow. I mean, the guy, before the Patriots, was one of the best assistant coaches in league history and did lead an NFL franchise to the playoffs (with Cleveland).

A glorified gym teacher? Wow. Just wow.

I heard some strange background noise...Was Borges punching out another cripple?

Honestly, I'm not as down on the Big Show as many around here. I prefer Dale and Holley, but the Big Show is tolerable most days.

But when they have Borges and Numy on there... in the words of Patton Oswalt, "it is UNLISTENABLE RADIO!"

Yeah, he hates BB and the Pats.

I think he was fair with the Pats until Bill Parcells left and really got negative with them when Drew got traded.

If I remember correctly he was a pretty good boxing writer back in the day.

Borges is like one of Big Show's moron celebrity callers (Dakota from Braintree or Steve from Fall River) who gets to guess host. He is only there to say stupid things so Ordway can berate him and look smart because it is easy to shoot down Borges' contrarian logic that has Moon sized holes in the logic.
