Taking a page out of Ron Borges' thin-skinned book, Dan Shaughnessy turns his tomato can cliche into an attack on the Patriots and us. It's stunningly lazy to duck writing a real column about football and a fascinating matchup in the playoffs by turning it into a childish assault on the team and the readers of his newspaper's sports page.
Dan Shaughnessy: Things haven’t fallen into place for the Patriots - The Boston Globe
Shaughnessy does not surprise by mentioning 2014's debacle, Andy Reid's record against Belichick, and the quality of the Chiefs defense. Instead of delving a quarter of an inch deeper into the story by looking at the schedule the Chiefs played to get to this point, or debating how the Patriots prepared for these playoffs by going conservative with injured palyers who could have played, or looking at how much adversity the Patriots have faced on and off the field to get here, Shank turns on us.
Nice work, Dan. I hear BU and Northeastern have good editorial writing classes. Take one.
