Couldn’t agree more with Billy and Chris….and you can throw “Scott’s Shots” in there with the rest of them. I’m sure he goes to bed at night dreaming of the day he gets an invite to flap his gums on TV.

All it takes to be a sports media hack is a willingness to do lousy in school and a fervent desire to get into sporting events for free and travel on someone else’s dime, while eating someone else’s food…for free. These characteristics are all it takes to be an esteemed sports media professional, and it’s why you see the market so over-saturated with them. That they trip all over each other, tread on each other’s turf, and bicker at each other tells you that their numbers FAR exceed the market’s ability to absorb them. Wal-Mart needs new door greeters; these low-lifes would be reasonably good doing that.

That PTI ripoff of Ryans will never be “must-see TV”….There are just TOO MANY sports media hacks around here. It’s gotten to the point where sports fans DON’T GIVE A RAT’S ASS what their opinions are anymore….it’s sports media OVER SATURATION…..this one thinks this, that one thinks that, BLAH…BLAH…BLAH..BLAH…It all goes in one ear and out the other and these self-important sports media blowhards think it’s all about them which makes it even more annoying

The sad thing is that Mr. & Mrs. Shaughnessy (aka Dan and Jackie MacMullan) will continue living large off their tenured positions at the Globe while harder-working underlings get shown the door. These two muckrakers are Exhibits A & B for the Globe’s loss of revenue and readership. Sure, officials there put on a brave face by blaming the Internet and tumbling circulation. But the whole newspaper has become so liberal, so haughty, so elite, and so cantankerous, that it has alienated much of its customer base. The paradox is that Liberals LOVE dictators and supreme rulers and yet they spare no effort in trashing Bill Belichick…perhaps the most visible example of a dictator we have around here. Would MacMullan and Shaughnessy and that dweeb who wrote the piece in the Globe Magazine be all over Fidel Castro if he were the coach of the Patriots? I think not. Pot, meet Kettle.
