The Globe should have a wheel with all sorts of sports and teams written on it and just spin it once in a while and see if Dan can produce a column on the topic that comes up. Maybe then he can stop harassing the Red Sox and making enemies there and do what he always do, write about the same tired themes and stories everyoen knows and do his job in such a way that he doesn't even give any indication he actually atches the games. Did you see his contribution to a Sunday quick shot piece entitled "Should parochial schools have their own tournament?". He talks aobut the subject of high school hockey and can't even make intelligent points about hockey and instead lashes out against all private schools and brings up football. It is almost like he expects us to believe he's seen more than two hockey or football games this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17263668.post-1141507815411427222006-03-04T16:30:00.000-05:002006-03-04T16:30:00.000-05:00the chief,Have you read the novel "Ballpark Blues"...the chief,<BR/>Have you read the novel "Ballpark Blues"? A very forgettable book except for the author's attack on sportswriters, especially the Boston media. The author shows particular venom for a columnist described as a "big-hair prick" having a "huge mop of 70's permed hair."<BR/><BR/>If you would like, I could send you my bargain bin copy or email some of the attacks on sportswriters. I think you, Sheriff Sully, and Bruce Allen would enjoy the commentary. <BR/><BR/>dbvaderdbvaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313968008498094004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17263668.post-1141476953567175432006-03-04T07:55:00.000-05:002006-03-04T07:55:00.000-05:00Maybe it's because you wrote it in the first place...Maybe it's because you wrote it in the first place.<BR/><BR/>Just like you, my 2 year old understands his own gibberish.mike_b1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03887169120483500989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17263668.post-1141469673453555742006-03-04T05:54:00.000-05:002006-03-04T05:54:00.000-05:00Maybe it's because I read it to hear what the colu...Maybe it's because I read it to hear what the columnist has to say, not with one eye on the column with a pre-determined agenda that I'm going to disagree, and the other eye frantically scanning The Globe archives, searching phrases in a comical attempt to find something that can be twisted into an irrelevant inconsistency.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17263668.post-1141425081072247232006-03-03T17:31:00.000-05:002006-03-03T17:31:00.000-05:00Up myus anus toous.Nice how you consistently have ...Up myus anus toous.<BR/><BR/>Nice how you consistently have to explain what Dan meant.

Apparently the blogger is so eager to run to the archives that he eagerly sees things that aren't there. It's not a "feelgood' piece about Bruins, it's a piece about how their core fan base has rather deeply-rooted loyalty, even when the team stinks and most of the day-to-day sports fans ignore them.<BR/><BR/>What was once the blotter's occasional meandering away from responsible and respectable criticism has now become a rather dismal self-parody.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
