Our new Jets' writer, Erik Boland, is a mild-mannered sort, very well-behaved, modest, and earnest.
Which is why I refer to him as a "bubbling cauldron of intensity." Beneath the Jimmy Olson veneer lies a man with a lot of stuff floating around in his brain. Which I guess explains why he got into the writing business.
Anyway, I just thought I'd mention that because Boland let Belichick and the Patriots have it over their various interviews in recent days in the wake of the latest Spygate developments. In one fell swoop of a blogpost, Boland ripped Belichick for ripping Matt Walsh, ripped Bob Kraft for ripping the Boston Herald, and then ripped Tom Brady for ripping ESPN.
Jeepers!
(Full disclosure: Part of Boland's angst may have been traceable to the fact he was "out of uniform" as the Jets' beat writer and helping Newsday's coverage of the Subway Series at Yankee Stadium last night. In case you weren't aware, media types covering baseball have massive amounts of time from before, during and after the game to not only cover the goings-on, talk to other "seamheads," as baseball writers are often referred to, and to otherwise contemplate their navels. Thus, the explosive brew of a bubbling cauldron of intensity, covering baseball, thinking about Spygate, and having a blog to put it all down. PS: He makes some very compelling and interesting points. Please read it.) ...
