DHL Dan LXXI - The Edelman Quandry

If your name is Dan Shaughnessy, there's no offseason when it comes to ragging on the New England Patriots:
Picked-up pieces while waiting for the World Cup to end so we can resume our daily lives . . .
Remember when Shank used to like World Cup soccer? Good times!
■ Julian Edelman’s four-game PED suspension has been upheld. Far be it from me to be cynical, but is anyone still wondering what he took and where he got it? Tom Brady’s shady training guru, Alex Guerrero, was quick to distance himself in the hours after Edelman’s failed test became public (Edelman is a TB12 client). In those same early days, Albert Breer of The MMQB wrote that Edelman’s positive test was “triggered by a substance that wasn’t immediately recognizable and there are scientists analyzing it.’’ The fact that we still don’t know what Edelman took (the NFL never discloses the substances in failed tests) strikes me as unfortunate and suspicious given Edelman’s status as a Guerrero client. Like it or not, the ongoing ambiguity casts suspicion and doubt on all things TB12. Maybe Edelman can take his case to court and have Fanboy Judge Richard Berman sort things out.
Rag on a Boston Celtic player while we're at it? Shank's got you covered!
...
■ When do we stop hearing rumors about Kyrie Irving going to the Knicks? Irving will not commit to Boston beyond next season. He also will not be called away to appear at the Oscars in March to celebrate the abomination that is “Uncle Drew.’’
Some people would take issue with that characterization....

And why does Shank continue to shit on former Red Sox players - because boss / owner John Henry told him to stop ragging on current Red Sox players?
■ Could David Ortiz get himself out there just a little bit more? Sandy Koufax he is not. It’s hard to turn on any device without finding Big Papi providing analysis or selling you something on the other end.

I'm sure if judge Berman suspended Brady this fraud would not be calling him a fanboy and he knows it
