Boston’s CBS affiliate picked up the story from there, running with: “Report: Buchholz Attends Foxwoods Pool Party.” Hardball Talk picked up on the typical Boston media ass-hat-ery. Toucher and Rich – or whoever runs the show’s Twitter account – got offended. After all, they were just reporting the facts!
I tweet something that was pure info, & the national media uses it as ANOTHER excuse to crap on Boston sports fans. http://t.co/p3h93PBP

Exactly! Just like when I see Coca-Cola and McDonald’s presence in the Olympic Park and read this year’s story about how many condoms the Olympic village has been provided with and I refer to 2012 London games as a “gluttonous international fuckfest with a lot of coke.” These are just the facts!
I certainly wouldn’t say that to evoke a reaction from people over nothing. And neither would Toucher and Rich. They are not literally giving Boston media a bad name. They are just presenting themselves as sensationalist dummies while acting as representatives of Boston sports media and fans. There is a big difference. Only one is fact.
