    It is with the quality of competition taken into account.

    The funny part, if CHB traveled to Detroit and a native were to tell him off over his column, he would write about what a bunch of assholes they are the next day.

    The smug cloud grows.

    It's going to be great going up there next week and watch that overmatched collection take a couple more steps into 2010's gas chamber.

    The curly-haired girlfriend has been mailing it in for years. He became famous off his Curse of the Bambino books and then licked the Forever stamp and slapped it down in the upper right corner on his work laptop.

    And yes, the IDIOTS were the World Series champion Red Sox with Damon and Millar as the leaders in the clubhouse.

    Idiot was also the name of Damon's book.

    There might be some sort of court order in effect.

    Bostonians who think Shaughnessy sucks, has mailed it in for years and spends all his time writing books should spend a week reading Lupica.

    Maybe it's a New England thing considering Lupica is a NH product?

    I am a Red Sox fan but I dislike Shaughnessy. This whole Damon thing just reaffirmed my feelings toward CHB (I will always laugh at that) because I took it as a "How could someone ever spurn ME?" attitude. And that's what, I feel, Boston sports has become. Mother Theresa could turn down Boston to stay in Calcutta and the general response would be, "Fuck her. She can stick with the cows and helping people. We don't need that."

    If there's anything of opinion on sports to read in that paper, it's Bob Ryan, Chuck Pierce and no one else.

    the whole column was ok,but it did not need the obligatory detroit cheap shot,although it was also a shot at damon's shopaholic wife....and if you are gonna quote from Thunder Road at least acknowledge it
