Shank Says Pats Fans Should Root For The Jets…And Proves Why He Is the Ultimate Cockhead In the Process
PITTSBURGH — J . . . E . . . T . . . S. Jets! Jets! Jets! I’m in. I’m on the Jets bandwagon. I’ve been carrying Fireman Ed on my shoulders all over Pittsburgh, and let me tell you, he’s heavier than he looks. The Jets are fun. The Jets have a coach who says what he thinks without regard for the consequences. The Jets lack self-importance. They do backflips in the end zone. Oh, and the Jets have fans who have suffered for years, just like Red Sox fans up until 2004. If you are a Patriots fan still smarting from the shocker last Sunday, you should be rooting for the Jets tonight. The better the Jets do, the more the Patriots will be driven to beat them. If the Jets win the AFC Championship at Heinz Field, perhaps the Krafts will be inspired to spend a little more money on payroll next year (are we supposed to feel good that the Patriots have the third-lowest payroll in the NFL?). So, yes, the Jets are my team. I hope they go on to win the Super Bowl in Dallas in two weeks. Perhaps that will motivate people back at Patriot Place.
And this is precisely why everybody in New England despises Dan Shaugnessy and why he shouldn’t have a job. Listen I’m not even going to debate anything he said because it’s obviously total garbage. That’s not my problem with it. Instead it’s the fact that I know Shank knows this article is garbage. Obviously he just wrote it to get a rise out of people. That’s it. It’s Greg Easterbrooks 101. It’s Boston Media 101. “Hey how can I create a stir and get people to read my articles and call my radio show? Oh I know! I’ll write something so preposterous that it will be impossible to ignore and everybody will hate me for it and talk about what a jerk I am.” That’s what infuriates me about Shank. It’s takes no talent to do what he does. NONE! Not a speck. Literally anybody could do what he does with the platform he has. He’s either too lazy or too dumb to write something good so he just settles for the most ridiculous shit he can think of. Bottom-line is if the Globe can’t find writers who can attract an audience because they write great articles as opposed to this type of trash it’s time to close up shop.
What a fucking retard, hope he catches AIDS and dies.
didnt tony mazz write the same about the sox and yankees.. way to be original shank
agreed prez, NO self-respecting boston sports fan should ever root for a new york sports team especially in your division and who just embarrassed you a week ago at home
you’re welcome for the tip Prez. Also Jeff- I hope he catches AIDS and lives forever. Just bedsores and tuberculosis everywhere.
Okay funny thing bitches….cuz this guys right…You want big ben to win another ring? Thatd be 3 for him…hed be tied with brady.. and big ben does have belicheck to help him out…so everyone is gonna be saying how big ben is better than brady…..Thats the laast thing we ever need…The united States of Brady is still possible…and it will begin next year
The sad part is, I think Shank is dead serious with this article.
I agree Prez…mainstream Boston sports media consistently does a huge disservice to the average fan…I hate that fuckin’ clown
Go Packers
WOW, a post from El Pres on a Sunday??? Just back from services at the Temple?
This is usually a Mon-Fri website. Usually late monday morning posts because your out all weekend pulling in all kinds of pussy I’m sure.
Lighten up, Francis.
“He’s either too lazy or too dumb to write something good so he just settles for the most ridiculous shit he can think of”
Reminds me of BSS
It kills me to root for the Jets, But I don’t know how you could actually root for Rapistburger and the fucking Steelers? I don’t get that at all and I’m kind of pissed that I agree with that DB, Shanks
girth, shut up. Everybody know Ben got his rings due to having a #1 defense year in year out. Also he has a running game and Ward all his career to throw the ball. Oh and Holmes. Watching pitt lose in the SB to GB will be better.
This guy has no idea what a “fan” is. What a jerkoff.
That’s just it… and that’s just the problem, fucking media in Boston just cannot leave well enough alone. They have to come out with bullshit just like this stupid fucking article from this fucking moron. I hate the Boston media
Maybe we are the 3rd lowest paying team because our team is made up of 80% rookies and 2nd year players? just maybe. what a fucktard.
^^^^ you are an idiot.
how about we just don’t fucking root for an AFC team at all? Is that so surprising? I don’t want Big Ben or Rex to win a ring, I’m not about to decide which of the two evils I would rather have.
Go bears
PS…is anyone else still hurting from the New England- Packers superbowl? I dunno, I don’t get why everyone is rooting for the Packers from NE, to me I could never root for the Packers and Reggie White, still too painful.
Akrobat, Pats were ranked 3rd, 1st, and 2nd in scoring defense when they won their titles. Steelers were Ist and 2nd. Sooo does Tom Brady not deserve credit since he was playing with “a #1 defense?”
It’s ridiculous giving huge cred (greatest player ever bs) during any player’s career. Wait until a player’s career is over and then judge it in total.
Yeah right he is a moron. Just looking at those pictures of Sanchez and Namath on NYC pointing their finger in the air makes me want to puke.
If you didn’t learn to immediately ignore Shank’s article when you picked up the Sunday Globe (or went to Boston.com) by now, you clearly haven’t learned your lesson. Shank and his dinosaur colleagues around the country are slowly dying off, and blogging about one of his stupid articles isn’t helping to expedite the process.
Go Jets.
agreed prez…but wtf do you do other than say absurd things to get a rise out of people? That being said, I think your posts are hillarious.
–It’s takes no talent to do what he does. NONE! Not a speck. Literally anybody could do what he does with the platform he has. He’s either too lazy or too dumb to write something good so he just settles for the most ridiculous shit he can think of.– Prez, why did you put your bio in a blog about Dan?
when is this guy coming out of the closet as steve buckley’s boyfriend.
Donkey show..you mean Steve Buckley’s curly haired boyfriend?
Mendenhall is shoving his dick down danny’s throat right now
prez i believe u use the same tactics there big guy
boohoo you’re still hurtin from losing to Green Bay? That was back in ’96 to a team that was SUPPOSED to smother us and eventually did. I mean I feel for ya brother but you might be a little overly sensative on that one. I’m surprised your still among the living after the Giants SB or at least not in a padded room somewhere. THAT was pain.
And what is up with rootin for the Jets? Who was the worst performer on the Pats last week? HANDS DOWN it was Bradypants. He looked like a cross between Bambi and Bledsoe, like he has for three straight Playoff games, the dude needs inspiration again! Don’t you think (God forbid and GO Pack) that if Rapey gets another ring and ties him than THAT would be a bigger motivator than anything the Jets do?

Dickwad…is that a Boston Phoenix cover for a Boston Globe story? Reading these posts is like shitting myself drunk.
Already thought of the “Big Ben” can’t win another ring, b/c if he does, let the “he’s better than Brady” shit start rolling…Problem is, I think in his first SB win, he completed 7 passes. That’s only 7 more than I completed. And in this AFC title game, he completed 10…So I’m guessing they really haven’t won too much BECAUSE of him.
see akrobat u dont know shit
prepare for talk about how the steelers are better than the patriots for the next few weeks, could win their 3rd bowl since we won our last. go pack
Who cares…even if the Pats beat the Jets and the Steelers they would be 9.5 – 10.5 dogs in the Super Bowl and GB would roll them by 2-3 touchdowns.
Thank you Jets for ending or misery early.
Same exact thing Mazz said last year in regards to the Yanks. Shaugnessy go fuck Buckley.
