There’s no one in Boston sports media today that’s intelligent enough to write something like this article. Such a pity.

"The Patriots long have been accused of practicing dark arts, but there is no swallowable pill, or spying, or ball deflation ploy, that is a shortcut to their substance."

BINGO.

Like Willie said, the cheating allegations are an insult to the fact they just work harder (and smarter) than everyone else.

Once there was a sports writer so dumb the other ones noticed.

Absolutely agree. The mediots and reportards up here are only concerned with "gotcha" journalism, and more interested in clickbait to boost their egos and smug attitudes. They're the younger cousins of the New York packs of MSM hyenas.

GREAT story. Thank you for posting the link.

Agree completely.

Great article! In future decades, some Boston writers will author stories of the greatness of this team. Unfortunately, they will be decades late.

Yeah, and the Celtics should be starting 5 guys who shoot like Steph Curry and rebound like Charles Barkley.

Anyway, here's a Jenkins portrait of Wade Phillips. No x's and o's, but a lovely piece that gives you a sense of the man:

Yes and this is the problem with America today. No one believes in hard work anymore.

Unrelated to this but since you were talking about dimwit sportwriters.. it looks like our "friend" Scott Kacsmar lost his job at NFL Outsiders after a pitchfork swinging mob of Boston fans delved through his Twitter history and found some apparently racially inappropriate tweets. Looking at what he wrote I don't see it and there is a gigantic difference between his stuff and the ugly stuff that Loyko wrote.

Or in basic physics.

Shank is too busy preparing his “The Rams are tomato cans and Brady and Belichick aren’t good” article.

 

[Froob]

“The Patriots’ methods to a large extent remain in a lockbox, thanks to Coach Bill Belichick’s secretive nature: He refused to practice outdoors this week because the field was surrounded by “20-story skyscrapers” that he said offered too good a view.”


Bill is prepared for any telescope tomfoolery this time around.

Don't feel bad for him, he'll probably end up at Deadspin along with the rest of the Pats-haters.

Deadspin? ..sounds like the perfect landing spot for that scumbag Alex Reimer

Every time I read one I wake up three days later in a jail cell with Josh Gordon.
