Finally, at around the age of thirty, I sprung for one, and was quite happy to finally own one. Shortly afterwards, Dan ridiculed adults who wear Sox jerseys in a column. He thought it was childish, I guess. It really killed my buzz. But then I thought of his haircut, which is adolescent, at best, and realized that perhaps he shouldn't be throwing stones. At least I don't wear the jersey every day. I've since noticed that insulting his readership and Red Sox fandom in general is a hallmark of his writing. Pretty classy. In any event, I just stumbled across your site and I appreciate the fine public service you are performing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17263668.post-1137814481961308072006-01-20T22:34:00.000-05:002006-01-20T22:34:00.000-05:00See, here's the thing from my perspective:I didn't...See, here's the thing from my perspective:<BR/><BR/>I didn't read Shaughnessy today.<BR/><BR/>I didn't read the Globe today.<BR/><BR/>I didn't read the Globe before or after the Patriots playoff games either.<BR/><BR/>There is nothing worth reading in the Globe anymore.<BR/><BR/>I can get the news from other news sources, whether it is the other local papers or any of the big online sites.<BR/><BR/>If I want opinions, there are a ton of blogs with fresher opinions than the stale crap the Globe insists on shoving down our throats.<BR/><BR/>You know what the Globe's columnists are going to say every time out:<BR/><BR/>Shaughnessy: The sky is falling in Red Sox nation!!!!<BR/><BR/>Dupont: It is all Joe Thornton's fault!!! Let me blow Mike O'Connell wet little kisses!!!<BR/><BR/>Borges: The Patriots are the worst franchise in sports history!!!! I have no sources left since Will McDonough died!!!<BR/><BR/>And the only people whose opinions you might actually want to hear from, Ryan and MacMullan, never seem to be writing about whatever the pressing issue is on any day. (Or maybe they have too much integrity to play the Globe Red Sox pom-pom waving game. If so, good for them).<BR/><BR/>Why even bother wasting your time with them anymore? People all over Boston are deciding they can do without the Globe and aren't missing anything even slightly important from their lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17263668.post-1137797426798474342006-01-20T17:50:00.000-05:002006-01-20T17:50:00.000-05:00I'm from Georgia and don't really care much about ...I'm from Georgia and don't really care much about Boston sports, but I stumbled onto this site looking for info on Dan, and I'm now hooked.<BR/><BR/>How long has this guy been doing his column? He doesn't look that old, but I've been seeing him on ESPN forever--you know, specials about Bill Buckner or Larry Bird, where they want to inject some local flavor. So anyways, with those curly locks and that huge surname taking up the whole screen, even us bumpkins down here know who he is. I'm gonna start reading him now so I can appreciate this blog more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17263668.post-1137775385787962272006-01-20T11:43:00.000-05:002006-01-20T11:43:00.000-05:00I don't think it will stop him, Shawn. Stopping hi...I don't think it will stop him, Shawn. Stopping him might take his son running into a couple of guys named Rocko and Bruno in a dark alley. <BR/><BR/>But at least he can't fall back on his suggestions of inner office sourcing, not after a cub reporter at his own paper beats him to the story by a country mile.mike_b1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03887169120483500989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17263668.post-1137775093503132222006-01-20T11:38:00.000-05:002006-01-20T11:38:00.000-05:00Frozen out?
