Shank: I'm a homer! Do you like my pink hat? Yay, Boston! I'm a fanboy!

[goheels22002]

The only thing I can figure is that Scott Zolak stole Shank's iPad and sent in his column for today's Boston Globe. I gagged when I opened the Globe and started reading this under Dan Shaughnessy's byline:

"GLENDALE, Ariz. — Fifteen years. Nine Duck Boat parades. All four sports.

The New England Sports High Renaissance of the 21st century continues.

So many memories. So many datelines: New Orleans, Houston, St. Louis, Jacksonville, Denver, Vancouver, Glendale, and, of course, right at home in Boston.

No city has ever enjoyed a period of sports success like this. So let’s do what no one else can do: Let’s rank them."

Really? What's going on here? Is Shaughnessy planning a tell-all book and hopes Belichick and Kraft will meet him at a Denny's for an interview? Somebody tell me, please, what is going on here?
