June, those who can't teach. And those who REALLY can't pick apart those who can. Take a deep breath and 86 the ESPN. You'll feel a lot better that way. And since the Pats and the Sox are both Boston teams, it gives these fools extra leverage to wedge their crowbar into the scene. (I'm just waiting until someone tries to tie Roger Clemens back into the Boston sports scene, once they're done cannibalizing the whole "spygate" BLEEP.)

June, as I've said before, I'm not a sports fan. But I've seen enough of the scene to know that the Boston faithful have had more than their fair share of suffering while supporting the hometown teams. ESPN is just hoping to be ready with the salt if you folks are dealt another blow. (It's the whole sensationalist culture, ya know.) So the simple thing is to just avoid them. If their ratings go down enough, maybe they'll stick to the facts and not try to be a tabloid.

I think a lot of it has to do with simple jealousy. For ages, the Boston teams have sucked. Sure, there's been times where one or two teams have shone, but right now, all of Boston's major teams (And no, I don't mean soccer. I don't think that's a major sport in this country, no matter WHAT David Beckham does.) are really good. People were too busy feeling sorry for Boston fans when the teams tanked to throw mud, but now that the teams aren't tanking, it's a case of sour grapes. And in our current culture of tabloids being the last word, in comes the sensationalist BLEEP.
