McClain has been pretty honest & straight about the Texans. His problem, if you knew what you were talking about, is that he has absolutely no inside information.

no he wouldnt.

boston and new york writers call it the way they see it and they dont coddle good old houston boys like kubiak, biggio and bagwell.

they will rip the home team apart if its deserve unlike paid hacks like john mclain and the worst, richard justice.

You get the best and the worst of the media world from the east coast. And when your journalism career isn't going to be propelled by substantial writing, you become this guy.

[CloakNNNdagger]

The Boston media (and National media) recognize the POS he is.

Arrogance, Reflected

After spending the better part (for a writer as hacktastic as Shank, is that a contradiction in terms?) of his mediocre career lambasting players as prima donnas, owners as arrogant, and everyone else as basement trolls, The CHB has truly become that which he lives to despise.

For today, for the second time in three days and the third time in a month, The CHB calls the Texans "frauds" and says the Patriots will walk over the competition to the AFC Championship.

Who is calling who arrogant? For The CHB, whose range as a columnist runs the gamut from childish name-calling to demeaning of talent and everything in between -- and why not, since he's had a pretty lucrative run perpetrating his own fraud on the owners of the Boston Globe -- this is the epitome of his projectionism.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

My tweet to that clown. Feel free to send him one as well @Dan_Shaughnessy.

"It must suck waking up every day knowing you have to be you all day. Pathetic excuse for journalism."

I think you're mistaken me for someone else.

I believe there is ample evidence over the last three weeks that we've been getting better & back to the kind of football that had "everyone" thinking we were favorites to win the Super Bowl.

I'd have liked another week, playing someone else, before we go to play New England, but as is, I like our chances.

You should know my last post was to help you stop saying stupid sh!t, but it seems you're doing it on purpose.

He wouldn't put the Texans as #1 on "his" power rankings until we were like 11-1.

I think it was since that day, that we started to nose dive. The freak'n curse of pancakes McClain.

I like how the Texan fans tried to give him props, but the Pats fans came in and basically called him a douche.

[arb729]

Some more background on him: He is the one who originally coined the "Curse of the Bambino". After the Sox won in 04, they showed the Boston press box and the only one who wasn't either in tears or elated was Schaugnassey. If I remember correctly, he actually had a slightly disappointed look on his face that his claim to fame was essentially null and void.

He is now known for these types of pieces; overly extreme in one direction (positive for Boston teams or negative) to get attention for his articles. He also wrote a piece a few years back about why Cornell "deserves" to beat Kentucky in March Madness that got national attention, mainly because of how dumb the logic behind it was.

In summary, he's a hack. He has the nickname "Curly Haired Boyfriend" and "Shanks" in Boston, neither endearing in any way. If you want a real take from the Patriots side, I can link to the articles from the more respected Patriots writers later this week when they are published.

Think about how many times people have bitched about Belichick pouring on the points and throwing for TDs in the 4th quarter when they're up by 21+. In that Monday night game, Belichick let up. You can come up with whatever reason you think he did, but it was pretty evident to me that he let up because he knew the Texans, and especially Kubiak, had quit. That was as complete an ass whipping as I've ever witnessed in the NFL. It was not just a scoreboard defeat.

Does he wear a uniform? Is he A coach? Who cares what he thinks. We got our asses handed to us a month ago in Foxboro. They should be happy to see us.

Punch a bully in the mouth. That's the best way to shut them up.
