FOXBOROUGH — The door to the Patriots locker room swung open at 11:15 a.m. The media herd shuffled through the doorway and slouched to the stall of Tom Brady. This was QB 12’s first group session since the Randy Moss shocker, and everybody with a microphone wanted a spot at the foot of Brady Gaga.The 'ace' Boston Globe sports columnist continues to be pleased with his self-defined wit with the 'Brady Gaga' moniker. Well, we know they both have dicks, right?
In the wake of Charley Casserly’s wild report on CBS last Sunday, I was expecting to see Brady rolling on the clubhouse carpet, wrestling with Jerod Mayo and tugging at the linebacker’s whiskers. I figured there might be a photo of Floyd the Barber on Brady’s locker — more evidence of teammates chiding him for his long hair. Just as Randy Moss supposedly did.
Shank lies to his readers yet again:
Asked about the fashionable, post-trade Moss bashing, Brady said, “I didn’t follow any of it. I wouldn’t bash him. I don’t think any of our teammates would bash him. Were you guys bashing him?’’Give me a break. Bashing Randy Moss was so last month! Shank's opinions have expiration dates. It's as simple as that.
Not me.
Read the rest of the article, if you dare, for Shank's seething, barely concealed contempt of the New England Patriots organization.

ReplyDeleteYou missed Ted Williams' daughter calling out Shank.
Thanks for the heads up, Paul. Since I don't read the Globe aside from Shank's columns, I wouldn't say I missed it as much as I avoided it!
ReplyDeleteShank previewed the mocking of the Moss trade on his weekly Gresh & Zolak appearence; at least Andy and Scott tried to not let him get away with it. And Shank is assuming Casserly has been correct in some previous reportage critical of the Patriots, though he can't cite any examples.
