As soon as I saw the title of this thread (and the traffic)
I knew that Shaughnessy was at it again.  I missed the
column, but this is a very common tactic of his and
the vehement reactions show how successful it is.

When the Red Sox were in the playoffs against the Indians
he did a "Why Boston's a better city than Cleveland" column
similarly belittling Cleveland, their fans, their teams,
the midwest, you name it.  Everyone from Cleveland goes berzerk.

It's a formula.  He uses it all the time.  It gets people
to read his column.  Deal with it, then get over it.
He's not the only one.  It won't be the last time.

If you don't have the self-assurance to laugh at such
attacks, maybe it's because there's more truth in them
than you'd like to admit.

Oh, by the way, if it's escaped your attention,
the reason we hate the Cowboys is that they win.
That's why there were Celtics-haters and Yankee-haters.
It goes with success.  If you don't like it,
go back to being 1-15 and we can all be happy.
