T...I think Shaughnessey is getting too much grief. There was more to Theo leaving than what some columnist wrote. The Herald and WEEI are jumping over the fact that the Globe owns the Sox, but Shaughnessey had incredible sources before the Globe owned the Sox. The Globe has had better sources than the Herald forever, and the Herald is now jumping on this angle, but the fact is the Globe has had a history of better writers with better sources.<BR/><BR/>As for Shaughnessy being used, all writers are used by sources. Why else would a source leak a story? Shaughnessy did his job. His columns often piss me off because he's similar to how Bryan described Moriati and in my preamble to my Moriati post I was thinking of Shaughnessy. However, despite what all his enemies say, Shaughnessy is an excellent writer (although sometimes lazy) with excellent sources.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193982864419833777noreply@blogger.com
