Dan Shaughnessy making no friends in Atlanta

[Ian]

Listening to 92.9 out of Atlanta on my way into work this morning and apparently they're not happy about the article he wrote regarding the Falcons and the City. He came on for an interview and they tried to rip him apart and he completely backtracked. He said that he's, "been waiting for somebody to come along and stun this team and prove that their defense isn't that good". He said, "it wouldn't break my heart."

They are calling him a lazy hack and apparently posted a response on their website. I'm not somewhere where I can grab a link right now, but it's funny, they're really angry about this.

Who?

Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe

The only way he would have a friend was if he had a dog. And his dog would probably hate him.

If it's any consolation to Atlanta, we hate the guy here in New England too.

He is a lazy hack. He's the dictionary definition of "lazy hack".

Shank has no friends in Boston.... Outside of red Sox ownership...

 

[Ian]

if you have the TuneIn Radio app, you can listen to it on your phone. They are going to have head coach Dan Quinn on in a few minutes, if you're looking for a take from the other side.

He has no friends here either.

I know. It was a comment/joke about his irrelevancy.

No, they use him. I can't imagine anyone actually likes him.

 

[archstanton543]

He has no friends here either.

Why do people hate Dan Shaughnessy when they first meet him?

It saves time.

It's funny, this reminds me a lot of the atmosphere here in New England when they went to the Superbowl back in 1997. Just really happy to be there, and they believe they have a shot but won't be devastated if they lose. It's funny to see the contrast between that region and this one, oh how times have changed

Second time in 1997.

Second time in 1997.

Realized that right after I posted it. Sorry, I tried to put that game out of my memory, although I was really young when that happened

Was listening to sirius last night on the way home from work to the Schein station. This article really bothers me because he lumps in all New England fans as pitying the Atlanta fan base. Like this guy speaks for the fan base? His career is built off of baseball and the antiquated curse. Basically he's a sad negative column writer to put it simple. He has no business lumping us into his viewpoint. Again I'm really irked by his article.

Boston really is at an all time high of bad reporting.

Just listen to the falcons after their game and the pats after theirs. Big difference

 

[fair catch fryar]

No different than here in the greater Boston market. He's simply an insufferable, clown-headed douchebag.

That's okay, Ian. It is a natural reaction to mask the horror of being on the receiving end of a record-setting beatdown (a record the Broncos thankfully took away a few years later). Plus, the uniforms were different, so the first one didn't really count.
