And so, cynicism chalks up another win.

Chicken shit decision to bury the whole thing.

There's a series of movies -- long TV episodes, almost -- called "The Worricker Trilogy", written by David Hare and starring Bill Nighy as a British spy trying to do the right thing. In the second installment, there's a scene where Nighy and Christopher Walken are sitting on this porch, ruminating about the world. Nighy's character says (paraphrasing), "Whatever happened to shame?" Walken responds, "Shame? It went the way of honor, didn't it?"

That's our world, it seems. Honorless. Shameless.

And while a New England team choosing to support YET ANOTHER cheater is not the biggest news of the decade, it does seem to speak to the absence of either shame or honor.

"But but but but he paid his dues!" Yeah, whatever. If you're going to come at me with that lameness, just go somewhere else. Take it to the MLBTR comments section or something.

My wife, who is a Red Sox fan is not particularly happy.
