More evidence that in Boston they take their sports, and sports media, more seriously than we do in New York . . . or pretty much anywhere else, for that matter.
I'll link to it through Glauber to help him boost his anemic offseason page views total.
It's a rant about the sports media's handling of Spygate.
Spygate? Vaguely rings a bell. I remember reading and writing stuff about that at some point, but I forget the details now.
Bonus WatchDog kudos to first reader to identify the building in the picture.

It's a building that Cliff Clavin delivered mail to each day.
A little known fact about that building is that Cliff and Carla Tortelli had a steaming affair going on for 5 years and it's been reported by several indiscriminate sources that the building in the picture is where they would sneak off to each night after the bar closed.
The building is now called Clavin's Haven.
That Bostomaniac made for some enjoyable toilet reading. Thanks Best! Keep it coming!
Islander505: No kudos until you say the name, sir.
Jon: I thought the last hope for the printed version of newspapers was people needing them for toilet reading. Guess not. Sigh.
Cheers Neil !!!

If you are going to put the blame somewhere, why not put it on the NFL? If they had kept the original tapes and not destroyed them, it would have stopped 90% of the conspiracy theories. And, the media has made much bigger mistakes recently, anyone remember Jason Blair?
BTW- that looks like Fanueil Hall
Sorry Neil, They have that 'Print' button on every article. Mass Transit is your last hope. Even Egon the Ghostbuster once said 'Print is dead'
Peter T: We have a winner!
If the NFL just showed what they saw in the tapes this would not be happening. No Arlen Specter being a showhorse, no Gregg Easterbrook conspiracy theories (I don't like him either but he is NOT a journalist who has to write objectively. He writes for Page 2 of ESPN which is like their op-ed section of the website.), no conspriacy theories among other NFL fans, none of the accomplishments of the football club being as questioned with little evidence. The writer is a bit of a whiner.
