No, our little fifty centses mean squat in the grand scheme of things. The sentiment expressed by BSMW is understandable, but they'll come up short. As far as the Globe is concerned, Ron's transgressions don't happen on their watch. If people really want to see Ron run out of town, the way to rid the region of him is to contact advertisers who are affiliated with radio and television programming that employs him. And let the outlets involved (Channel 7 Sports Extra's Joe Amorosino, WBCN's Patriots pre and post game programming director, Bob and Jonathan (who appears weekly on the show) Kraft - who certainly must have considerable influence over the talent featured on that programming should they chose to exercise it (as Larry Lucching damn well would), and ESPN Boston and it's new local host Felger the ratings whore) know you are turning them off and tuning them out.
All of these venues book Borges because they believe the passion he inflames equals a ratings boost. The guy we love to hate. Even the Globe cares only that in controversy he generates readership. Take away his audience and you make him irrelevant. That it what these guys get fired for.
The real travesty here is that Ron Borges holds the only Football HOF writers vote in Boston. Inherited it from McDonough when he died. Will hold it until he either dies too or is canned by the Globe (since the ballot apparently resides with them). So a letter writing campaign to them requesting either his privilidges be revoked by the Globe or they lose control of the ballot might be another plausible idea. He and Felger were bantering about that ballot as well the other day in discussing future HOF'ers from this team. Felger asked him if Will had anything to do with the fact that Andre Tippet, whom Borges characterizes as better than LT had he played in NY, is not in the hall. Ron chuckled and said well you don't get considered unless a voter nominates you and he hinted Will never did. Ron won't ever impact guys like BB and Brady, they're well beyond his limited scope of influence already, but he could impact others if he chose to. And considering his well documented vindictive nature towards this current team he should never be allowed to influence football perception where this team is concerned. Remember, he's the sole reason Brady was ever perceived as a dink and dunk, system QB - a ridiculous perception that occasionally haunts him among the idiot fringe in the national media and broader NFL fan base even today.
