I've actually had it out with him on the telephone. His son's run-in with the cops was also well-documented and he went to court and was punished. Also, his daughter, Kate, is a childhood cancer survivor who is undeserving of being brought into a conversation about what a dink he is. He's as big a Pats hater as there is and a major douche. His children should not be included in our dislike of him.Probably, but I'm sure Shank paid off the cops to keep it quiet.
There are a lot of factors that go into a QB's performance and almost as many ways to measure it. Fumbles and dropped passes have been embraced by the mediots, but Felger took such a beat down on this that he has retreated to 'we need to wait five years to get a meaningful sample'.Was Peyton Manning this bad before deflategate?
Was Aaron Rodgers this bad before deflategate?
Was Andrew Luck this bad before deflategate?
It's a good question, and I've wondered about that myself. I have heard Curran make thinly-veiled critical remarks about Shank and vice-versa. Dale Arnold and Michael Holley have mildly whacked him, but largely he goes unscathed. I've heard his peers grudgingly acknowledge his one apparent good quality as a journalist, that being that after he whacks someone in print or on the air he always has the guts to do the same in person. That sets him apart somewhat from other, similar jackasses like Felger and Mazz who whack people but then shrink like cold, wet penises when confronted by their targets. But, Shank is still a first-class, despicable troll.How come more media people don't call him out on his ********? The only two that really do are Thornton and minhane, and know one thinks much of that because ones written off as a homer(Thornton) and the other a psychopath(minihane)
I wish some guys would go the opposite way and be a total homer and see how fans react. I guess it's the old saying that bad news spreads further than good news.The "Curly Haired Boyfriend" has figured out how to be successful as a Boston Mediot, say stupid stuff, be a contrarian and have folks click on your idiotic posts.. see Felcher, Borges, Tanguay, Tomase etc.
What I don't understand is why.
At least the reason why Borges is bitter is understandable. Disgraced plaigurists are entitled to be bitter.
CHB has no excuse.
The spurned media breakfast invitation in the late '90s...He hates the Kraft's
Total homer? You need to get yourself some Jerry Thornton!I wish some guys would go the opposite way and be a total homer and see how fans react. I guess it's the old saying that bad news spreads further than good news.
However, maybe there are enough haters out there to push the fans into more dialog. however, in it's current for it's just the mindless drones calling the patriots cheaters.
What did they do to him?He hates the Kraft's
What did they do to him?
Typical. Bash the successful...Nothing, except be one of the most successful sports franchise owners.
In other words, giving Shanknancy very little ammo.

In the late 90s the Patriots hosted a breakfast event for the local media. Shank either didn't get an invitation or was turned away at the door. Ever since then, he's hated the Krafts.What did they do to him?
See post #95.Nothing, except be one of the most successful sports franchise owners.

The issue that I have is that writers in this town think that Patriots fans are blind, ignorant yahoos who think the team can do no wrong.
Yeah for people who make their living calling out other people for being "frauds" felger and mazz are giant cowards for never saying one negative thing about the biggest fraud in the city.It's a good question, and I've wondered about that myself.
