Shank's latest Super Bowl column is a tad innovative:

Atlanta’s hospitality outshines its sports history

Is this a column, in typical Shank fashion, where he manages to piss off a large number of people even if it looks like he's paying them a compliment?

ATLANTA — Is this the next championship dateline of our local sports high renaissance?

The Patriots have won two Super Bowls in Houston. They won one in New Orleans, one in Jacksonville, and one in (gulp) Glendale, Ariz., where they also lost one. The Red Sox in this century have won World Series in St. Louis, Denver, Boston, and Los Angeles. The Celtics won their 17th title on the parquet floorboards of Causeway Street in 2008, while the 2010-11 Bruins had to go all the way to Vancouver to win their first Stanley Cup since 1972.

Now Atlanta. Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Is this the next destination on Boston’s new millennium championship tour?

Short answer - hell, yeah!

Folks here are still a little sensitive about Super Bowl LI, in which the Patriots pantsed the Falcons two years ago. You might remember it as the 28-3 game. In this spirit, it is not polite to wear your 28-3 jersey on your JetBlue flight to Atlanta this week. It’s a little rude. No need to rub it in. Folks here still think Bob Kraft was mean for putting 283 diamonds in the team’s championship rings that year. A bit much, no?

Not at all - let's write a column that fans the flames, like Sherman marching on... Atlanta.
