Boston Globe Shaughnessy: There’s no looking back for Brad Marchand and Bruins

[Therick67]

Either way my point stands.
I do admire great athletes whatever the sport, singers, actors, comedians, writers, artists, business men/women...

It's not a Jacob thing. It's about greatness.

By all means. sit back and enjoy his greatness.

 

[jgatie]

Anyway, I've always enjoyed Mr. Shaughnessy's columns.

Even if you enjoy his columns, there is no denying he kept recycling the same columns for years. To whit:

Soccer is terrible.
Patriots play a bunch of tomato cans.
The Curse of the Bambino, aka "Babe, Bucky, Buckner and (eventually) Boone". (Worst thing in Shank's career was the 2004 WS win).
Bruins need a real sniper (even when they had Cam Neely, a 50 goal scorer with one of the best SH% in Bruins history).

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

I'm aware of the view in here. Still think I'll side with the BBWAA.

Not sure what the Grammys have to do with sports writers. Seems a very stupid analogy to me.

Anyway, I've always enjoyed Mr. Shaughnessy's columns.

You don't get the analogy of an organization giving out an award doesn't make it good?

And if you always enjoyed Shank's columns in the past then great news. You will again. Because it will be the same ones.

I do...and I sleep well at night. Not cultivating hate has also it's perks.

Congratulations on the sleep. I do as well. Cultivating hate seems a little over the top...

 

[Chief Nine]

Hate to break it to ya but most in here side with my view on Shank. Not exactly a rare opinion.

Christopher Cross - Sailing beat Pink Floyd - The Wall for Album of the year which is complete lunacy ....but what do I know, the folks at the Grammys know what they are doing.

Jethro Tull beat out Metallica for best heavy metal band too...

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Jethro Tull beat out Metallica for best heavy metal band too...

And neither band rewrites the same song over and over like Shank and articles.

He can't write any more than paragraph about any other sport without first referencing something about baseball

You can't deny your hate for Jacob's. Every chance you get you dump on him. If that's not cultivating, I don't know what it is.

"We'd like to do a new song, it's called Slave Owner of Marionettes."

I'm not denying my hate for him, but to say I'm cultivating hate alludes to something bigger than just this one person..

Doesn't have to be, cultivate is to nurture and help grow.
It can be used in your case to a single person.
Now... you're the one who really knows the extent.

I feel like I'm being analyzed....

 

[TinyRivers]

Let's take a moment here and appreciate how much Brad has matured in the past 5 seasons.

I hope he never fully loses the rat in his game, but it's good to see him becoming a leader and realize he doesnt need to be a pest to be effective. You can see it both in the way he carries himself and the way he plays the game.

But fully expect at least 1 suspension again this season....love the guy but...

38 years at the same paper, guess its not easy to be original every day.

And its not like I always agree with him (I love soccer). One needs to understand that he's always had to be the bad cop to Bob Ryan's good cop.

Nah. He sucks. Any journalist worth their salt wouldn't blatantly publish the same articles dozens of times. He is effectively plagiarizing himself, which is the ultimate in laziness. Agree to disagree.

I get the analogy, just find it dumb.

Picking the very worst awards given by the very worst organization (Grammys) doesn't make a case for anything.

Well that’s your opinion.

Does not change The Shank Recycling Article Machine.

That's fine.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

That's fine.

Glad you agree about Shank now.

It's better to sit here and argue about writers then to discuss the content of the article based on who wrote it? Right, got it.

And yet you added nothing about the article.
