Oh C'mon.  The article is from a New Jersey paper.  How is that
"demonstrating the ridiculousness of the Boston Sports Media?"  The Boston
media have been absolutely showering praise on the Celtics since this
playoff run has taken hold.  MediaWatch chooses about the only article with
any negative spin one could find to post to the Celtics discussion list?  So
I go to the site and it basically consists of a summary of what people are
saying on WEEI as it happens.  I don't claim to know if MediaWatch is WayRay
or not, but it certainly reminds me of him, and I hate being reminded of
him.
