Shaughnessy doesn't care about being right. He cares about stirring it up. This take is a win win for him. Douches gonna douche.We already knew that. However, even douches are right sonetimes.
His article attempts to diminish what Brady did prior to 2019.There is nothing he said in his article that is not true. I just read it and I agree 100% with Dan here.
The ‘75 team is still my favorite.Old Man Dan still holds the 67 Red Sox who you know lost above the 04 Red Sox because he considers the team tainted due to Manny and Ortiz. This is just who he is, an old as.shole where everything in the past when he was young and in his prime was the best it ever was or will be and everything today is inferior.
This is why I don't take him and Bob Ryan seriously. They are clearly just old "back in my day" fans who lionize the 60's and 70's simply because that's the era they grew up aroundand they use that as a reason to put down everything else. Also I think Dan secretly liked the idea of the Red Sox being perpetually cursed because it was an easier sell to him than them being one of the most successful teams of the 20 years. He doesn't know how to sell positivity.Old Man Dan still holds the 67 Red Sox who you know lost above the 04 Red Sox because he considers the team tainted due to Manny and Ortiz.

1994 Expos. Pedro was the #2 starter on that squad. After Kenny Hill (maybe even #3, cause Jeff Fassero was fire).The ‘75 team is still my favorite.
