THE PROBLEM WITH living your life under the spotlight is that the camera captures only the public eruption, not the months of silent anger. On Dec. 3, when the New England Patriots played the Buffalo Bills, Tom Brady walked to the sideline after throwing late and behind receiver Brandin Cooks on third down, ending a first-quarter drive. Brady was angrier and more irritable than usual, as has often been the case this season in the eyes of some Patriots players and staff. As he unsnapped his chinstrap, Brady passed offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels on the sideline.It's worth the read if you have the time - looks like a 15 minute column at a minimum. I'm inclined to believe a majority of a column of that length where it is obvious the column spans a good part of the past football season and Seth is a fairly connected journalist, so unlike Ron Borges relying on Drew Bledsoe as his sole source, Seth can compare and corroborate statements from multiple sources for better story accuracy.
But that's not the primary focus for us, dear reader - let's get Shank's take on the matter:
I know Shank's just trying to stir the pot some more, but is he also saying that the local Boston sports media just got punked again by a national reporter who put all the pieces together into a single, splashy comprehensive story and they did not? This happened with Yahoo Sports breaking the Red Sox 'chicken and beer' story five-odd years ago.ESPN great job today. But not all new. Volin, Zo, Bedard, Curran been on it. This from Dec. 22 Globe: "Will Brady Guru Break Up The Band?": "We know Kraft puts loyalty to Tom above everything -- even if it perhaps means trading Jimmy G for 2nd rd pick over objections of BB.''
