Glass houses and Herald sports columnists

On Day 2 of Herald Held Hostage, Bruce Allen begins to feel alienated by the Herald, especially Tony Massarotti:

... My instinct tells me it's the Herald capitalizing on the publicity that this whole incident has generated. Tony writes angry column. Fans can't help but read it. They respond by commenting and talking about it with others. More papers are purchased. More ads are shown online as more pageviews are generated. The comments fly in on the page. People return again and again to read them, creating even more page views and thus ad views. The column gets analyzed on blogs and on sports radio. ...

Dan Shaughnessy Watch is amazed by Massarotti's column today:

His column today was the nastiest, most ignorant piece I have ever read. It tops even Shank's 38pitches parody. ...

A Northeastern journalism professor wants answers.

Can someone explain to me what Sen. Specter has to do with this? Thanks.

Ol' Arlen is convinced the Patriots couldn't have beaten Philadelphia without cheating, since we all know how invincible McNabb is in the post-season, so he wants a federal investigation of the Patriots.

Even the resident beached whale, aka Ted Kennedy, was quoted as saying that the issue is now dead. I hope this gets laughed right out of the Senate. Ted & Arlen sit on one of the more powerful committees together.

And yes, Evil Tony was really on the rampage today. But look at it this way - who are we talking about? Sure ain't Tomase. Tony's got his back.
