DHL Dan LXVII - Patriots Bashing, Continued

Shank cranks out his third column in as many days, where he continues to complain about the free agents leaving the New England Patriots. Here's Shank trying to put words into somebody's mouth:
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Picked-up pieces while trying to decode Gronk’s texts, “Tom vs Time,” and the trail of “no comments” and crumbs that tell us something is rotten in Foxborough . . .

■ I get it now: Nate Solder, Malcolm Butler, Danny Amendola, and Dion Lewis were all terrible, and these foolish teams that hired them are making a big mistake in overpaying them. The Patriots are going to be just fine. Nothing to see here. We all need to be patient and let Tom be Tom, and let Bill be the genius. Swell.

But it’ll always be impossible to explain Butler not playing in the Super Bowl (then getting a guaranteed $30 million from the Titans) and Jimmy Garoppolo getting traded for a bag of doughnuts in midseason.
He also complains about the Red Sox infield, the name of a fucking street (any guesses out there?) and a few other things as well, which shouldn't surprise any of you. Now get off my lawn!

Of course Shank like everyone else doesn't want to admit -

Malcolm Butler had become worthless as a player by the end of the AFC Championship Game and his own words to Jeff Howe after signing with the Titans proved why Belichick benched him.

Garoppolo had become unsignable for the Patriots and it's not relevant what they did or didn't get from the Niners in that trade.
