This missive from Borges is the epitome of "WRONGNESS". I mean HOF worthy, if its the HOF of being wrong in a sports article. Think about it. in just TEN lines he makes 8 comments and was wrong on ALL eight. I guess the best thing you can say about it, is that he was efficient. "Wrong Borges" was a apt nickname that was honestly earned.
Wrong, LOVED Parcells because Parcells was a good ole boy with the reporters and a quote machine who made their jobs easier. When Bellichick changed the media culture that love turned to hate. Borges was the last link to the Boston Sports writers who I grew up with, like Cliff Keane. and Larry Claflin Guys who thought THEY were the story and crossing them meant WAR! Those guys were famous for NEVER writing a good word about Ted Williams back in the day because of a feud. They come from an era in Boston where the 2 most popular sports were Politics and Revenge and EVERYTHING was personal. Borges was the last vestige of that era.
He was a competent writer and really good boxing guy, but he ended his career as a Patriot beat reporter who had zero sources and no impact. (kind of like Ben Volin today
) He ended up being a cranky old man trying to piss into the wind, and yelling at the horizon when he looks down and finds his pants are wet.
