Deadspin’s obsession with all things Boston continues unabated...an article every fucking day.

This is an excellent summation, well-written and thoughtful. The only thing I will say in Jeter’s defense, and this is from a Red Sox fan, is that he was truly scary as a clutch hitter- 2004 aside. I’m not sure of the metrics behind it but Jeter was the last guy I wanted to see at the plate when the Sox were trying to

Drew, you are my favorite goddamn sportswriter- I mean, not just Deadspin, but all sports writers. I have the “Greatest Sportwriting” compilations, and I believe you deserve to be in there one day. BUT....let it go, man. This is just lazy- calling out how much you hate the Pats on Deadspin is a cheap way to get 10,000

Merriman got busted for PEDs, after that he was just another guy.

May he rest in peace.

Curt Warner was amazing- shifty, tough, good speed. Feel as if he’s been forgotten, but he would be great in any era.

Yes, “powerless.” Uh-huh. More like stupidly arrogant. You don’t like Brady. We get it. That’s not the point of the article. Brady’s name in the headline makes for good click bait. Try to keep up.

Such a shame for the Browns. Vonate Mack and Ray Jennings were such great picks.

Jets are a good team and division rival, NE would have stolen one had they won. Jets outplayed them much of the day. Steelers effort in Baltimore was utterly pathetic. Oh, and no one cares how many Steelers bars there are.

Would that make their WAGs “The Lizzies?”

+1. Being There references rule.

In other news, officials had to stop OBJ from digging an air raid trench on the 50 yard line after the Blue Angels flyover during pre-game.

+1, standup comments. Best alias I’ve seen in awhile too

Drew, you and your Patriot-bashing buddies can continue to rage against the Foxborough machine, but the Smugopalypse is nigh. No amount of anti-Brady clickbait bullshit (and there has been one retread on Deadspin every week) is going to change that.

Realize the anti-Brady stuff makes for good clickbait, but really, who the hell cares?

Amen. The fans at the old stadium- especially before the Bledsoe/Parcells era- were there because they were football fans- not just Patriot fans- because the team usually wasn’t good enough to keep us coming back. No pink Patriot baseball caps. The guy behind you carried a whiskey flask. And so did you.

Ummm...really? “Infuriating?” The depth of the Patriots hatred out there is ludicrous. So they keep winning. Get over it. You should get out more.

+1. He does. Lois is spot on.

Who is your barometer for Boston accents? Mayor Quimby?
