What an ass. He's a boring, negative, whiny writer who hasn't written a good article in a gazillion years.

It is incredible that Shaughnessy wrote virtually the same storyas he did on the same day the previous year. He really puts the DAN in REDUNDANT. And that 'handsome head'/ 'faded halo' stuff really irritates me too. Wow. It is incredible that Shaughnessy wrote virtually the same storyas he did on the same day the previous year.

Lest we forget to point out that Shaughnessy cited Chass' anonymously sourced Chass tampering column that Eades already has refuted. Who does Dan trust more, Chass or Eades? I guess it's whomever reports more dirt on the handsome, young Theo, who apparently has pissed in Dan's coffee. Hey, Dan. Um, remember the word "relevant?" I refer to my comment from yesterday.

Predictably, I wasn’t disappointed, as by paragraph eight he was describing a series of 2006 deals as blowing up in Theo’s “handsome face.” Clearly, Shaughnessy thinks Theo’s a real looker. He’s not alone in that camp, but can anyone explain why this is relevant or passable in his columns -- any more relevant or passable than if he wrote about, say, Brian Cashman’s *un*handsome head? Shaughnessy’s attempt to throw inflammatory barbs is at best needlessly incendiary and at worst lamely juvenile. Get a new hook, Shaughnessy, please.
