Borges is demonstrably, without question an a hole.
But he crafts a lede as well as anybody in the business, and his opinions from watching a specific football game are far more worthwhile than some of the young'uns writing for his former employer, alas.
Nicely, nicely put. In all Aspects.
It's been so many Years since I used to read Borges routinely that it feels almost as if I imagined it.
But there was a time when I considered him a Full Member of Pravda's Hall of Fame Lineup:
Peter Gammons ~ BaseBall
Bob Ryan ~ BasketBall
Nick Cafardo ~ FootBall
Ron Borges ~ FootBall
These guys wrote of other things, of course, but Boxing never interested me.
There were other guys, too, of course, perhaps just as worthy:
Ray FitzGerald
Leigh MontVille
And others.
I even considered Mike Barnicle an Honorary Member, as he'd oftentimes print something Misty about the Red Sox, which I'd stumble across as I impatiently leafed through The Rest Of The Paper.
My Lord, did I look forward to reading that Paper, back then.
