Incompetent Boston Herald Story on Patriots Injuries

[Mike the Brit]

Sorry, this doesn't really deserve its own thread, but the Herald has a piece (credited to "Herald Staff") claiming that the Patriots have the third-highest number of "season-ending injuries".

Star crossed

What a little bit of Ben Volining would have showed them is that, yes, the Patriots have 14 players on IR. But they also have two on season-ending PUP (Fletcher, Jones) and one on reserve for a non-football illness (Johnson). So that's 17.

The laziness of these salaried journalists compared with this excellent web-site is annoying.

Yeah. But in a world where journalists don't do research or fact-check any more, they do trawl fan web sites, so perhaps one of their bosses will notice ...

As long as it brings in clicks, who needs facts,

Its what makes Americas "journalism" so great, if you dont like what is being reported go find one that will tell you what you want to hear

Its great in a world where everyone wins a trophy and any NFL team can hang a banner, We are special

Thanks for reminding me why I have a life-time ban on reading Herald articles.

"Incompetent Boston Herald story" is redundant. You can just say "Boston Herald story."

No it's not.

Right, water is sticky (molecularly), not wet .

You know, I don't agree with that. Jeff Howe has done some very good work this season.

I still come here for my first look at what's important for New England and the NFL, news-wise. After perusing the links posted here I MAY surf some other sites, but I can usually find the important stuff here, all in one place.

Maybe. I don't read the Herald out of principle so I wouldn't know.

"Competent" Boston Herald Story or any newspaper story is the exception, incompetent is the rule.
