Worrying about the words of sports writers is like worrying about the words of Hollywood beat writers.If the Texans need something from Larry Fine to motivate them, then the Patriots should start game planning for the AFCCG right now.
Curran is sort of a smug know-it-all if you ask me, but if he really went after Shaughnessy like you say he did, he's The Man. I like what Curran says and his ability to get players as guests on his dopey CSNE football show. His delivery is a little too much like DA Amendolara sometimes.
Both are better that Mazz the Spaz!
Texans are fighting Boston media. Patriots are preparing for the Texans.
Rodney would have used a fortune cookie from a Houston restaurant.
There Was A Time, when I was a wee lad, that I used to jump out'f bed, even on School Mornings, 'cause my Mom'd send me down to TatterSaults, every morning, for the Globe.
I couldn't wait to read what Peter Gammons, Nick Cafardo, Ray FitzGerald, and, yes ~ before their turn to the the whiny, sniveling, bitter side ~ Bob Ryan and Ron Borges had to say...
There Was A Time...when that Paper was Camelot.
Now Mordred holds sway.

I dearly hope that the most horrific, excruciating, and publicly humiliating Fate possible befalls him.
Just writing that puts a smile on my face.
I still don't get the widespread outrage by this. There certainly is plenty of drivel to castigate the media with but this ain't it. A Patriots centric sports writer stated an opinion that is arguable in its conclusion. Basically saying that Houston isn't in the Patriots class and no way should the Patriots lose or even make it close. O!M!G! How could he? Sure, the Patriots throttled them just a few weeks ago. Sure, the Texans haven't really played a good game in weeks including losing an extremely important game to Indy. Sure, the Patriots are the most potent offense in the league. Sure, this is Brady and BB against Schaub and Kubiac. Sure, they play inside in a warm weather town and it is January in the outside stadium of Foxboro. Sure, winning in Foxboro in the cold season rarely happens for any opponent. Sure, the Patriots are getting back arguably the biggest mismatch and one of TFB's favorite targets. Sure, the Patriots are more healthy right now on both sides of the ball then in many weeks. Sure, they have had a week of self scouting and extra time to prepare for their specific opponent.
But hey! He opined that no way should the Patriots lose this game and it won't be close....and this has angered some of the Texans!! The man should be fired and sent to Guantanamo for not doing his best BB impression of 'well Houston is a tough opponent and we will have to score more points than them to win'. :bricks:
DS is a smarmy asshat but this is much ado about nothing. Do you really think the Texans will now "try harder" because of this dope's column? If they need a sports column for added incentive they are already beat.

Ray Fitzgerald was great! I also remember Ernie Roberts, Leigh Montville and Larry Whiteside. That paper used to have sports journalists. It used to be a place for insight and information. Now, their sports section is the National Inquirer. ESPNBoston.com and many other sites are far better outlets.
If the Pats win, it's not because the Texans are "frauds," whatever that even means...
