Patriots-Ravens had something that’s been missing all season: competitionHe's only happy because the Patriots lost.
■ Sunday’s 37-20 loss to the Ravens was easily the most entertaining Patriots game of the season thus far. Sorry, but I find a game like this more enjoyable than yet another nauseating 60-minute network homage to the greatness of Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, Bob Kraft, and New England’s Boogeyman defense.
Patriots-Ravens was still a 4-point game through three quarters. The Patriots had plenty of chances to come back and win it. Silly me, I find this more exciting than watching a 43-0 blowout at Miami, or seeing the Browns turn the ball over on three consecutive touches in the first half of a beatdown at Gillette. I like it when there’s some big-boy pushback from the other team, when the coach on the other sideline is not genuflecting at the Altar of Bill.

I'm kind of split on the whole Shitfaced Sam Shaughnessy thing. On the one hand, I don't believe in the guilt by association thing and not just saying that because my family has some members with less than stellar backgrounds. On the other hand, Shank has no problem with that (guilt by association), so it's completely fitting to hoist him on his own petard.
Remember when one of Belichikc's kids got popped with weed? Globe ran his home address. Supposedly, Dan called every media outlet in town begging them not to touch the story. Screw the .32 kid and his old man.
