Bill Belichick and Tom Brady — the Red Auerbach and Bill Russell of our 21st century football renaissance — have done their best to remind us that this is just another game.You read that right - tonight's regular season game is bigger then the Super Bowl, one of the most idiotic statements Shank's made in a while. Nearly the entire column is filled with bluster and mail it in statements that are obvious to the casual fan; some more then a year old and previously used by Shank umpteen times. End the column with hackeneyed half-quoted lyrics by James Taylor and Springsteen, and you have a column not worth reading past the first sentence.
...
He’s right, of course. This is not the Super Bowl.
It’s bigger.

Finally, Let's Mail One In
Six days after his last column, Shank delivers a Monday column dedicated to tonight's Jets / Patriots game. You may expect a quality column full of insights and meaningful facts, given all this time to prepare a column. You'd be wrong.

You got to hand it to Shank ...
he is relentless with his lameness.
I was hoping for some insights regarding key matchups and strategy.
I usually don't follow the buildup to the "hype" but, the day of, I will search for reading materials by anyone willing to invest some time in writing up a good synopsis on what to expect for X's and O's.
Obviously Shank ain't The Source.

This one definitely should've had a stamp on it. Brutal.
