Re: Ron Borges Picks the PATS!!!
I don't think Borges is especially knowledgeable about football. He covers multiple sports, and he made his name originally with his boxing coverage, and even there he has been found lacking. He has a melodramatic, operatic style, which can be effective occasionally, depending on the subject matter and the mood of the reader, but more often is affected and cloying.
I don't find him particularly profound. He tends to play the same rhythms on the same old drum repeatedly.
I disagree that he is knowledgeable. Remember it was Bogus who said the Pats should pick David Terrell instead of Richard Seymour. But that's beside the point. Since Bogus has managed to turn Jackie MacMullen (someone who I formerly had a great deal of respect for) and Brian McGrory against the Pats he can afford to back down a little.
