That was the story of Sunday - Patriot goes for a 2, disaster ensues.

Generally teams pay for a police escort to the stadium to ensure traffic doesn’t interfere with the gameday routine. I would imagine that this would be during the same time frame, and the officers would still be paid by the team.

6. Reading things from ElephanTitus Andronicus...

Man, dude just can’t stop leading with the crown of his helemet, huh?

sorry, you’re right, it wasn’t fair of me to assume you’d understand. my target audience has a brain. not a mistake i’ll make with you again, surely.

Every time I look at someone wearing a Red Sox hat I think ‘man, that’s so 2000s’. The obnoxiousness of fanbases rise and fall. Once they win, the inverse mystique is gone and the people who take on that perverse sense of Stockholm Syndrome as fandom move on to the next bandwagon which, by my calculations, is the…

People have jobs and lives man, we can’t watch 3 hour games every day anymore, even diehards like me.

The fan base most obsessed with the Cubs is Sox fans. Panties constantly in a twist, while the Sox play to an audience of seagulls.

I love this. Here are the attendance stats when your team was in first place in September of 2oo5. Biggest piece of shit fan base and the 2nd least deserving championship team outside to Tampa. The only reason your team is the 2nd team in the market is because there is not a 3rd team.

What makes you think going to Wrigley Field during a Cubs game has anything to do with watching baseball?

Oh for fuck’s sake, are they ever going to get the spelling correct??

“It’s a minor thing, but these minor things add up.”

This is complete bullshit. The Steelers scored a TD on the exact same shift by running a play into the just-vacated hole. Ben’s just pissed because the Patriots backup O-lineman played better than his backups.

“Maybe it’s just an unwritten rule.” Great, let’s make football more like baseball. We should check with Brian McCann to get final judgement on this.

I went to college with Mike Reiss. Me and 24,999 others. I never did get to mouth-pump him. But he’s got to be the least homer-ish “Boston Sports Writer” I’ve ever come across.

Maybe start by not shopping at the heavily used stereotype store.

Look, I’m not a Patriots fan, but that long, long column contained very little news, other than the stuff about Goodell allegedly wanting to get the spygate investigation over as quickly as possible. I agree that it makes the league look worse than the Patriots, but there’s also a whole lot of alleged cheating as well.

Can we agree, going forward, to refer to multiple errors in his pieces as “Reiss erroni?”

Listen just because we’re horrible doesn’t ALSO mean we’re not the victim of a vast ESPN/NFL conspiracy.
