Gotta go with FL on this one, dude. The Globe, Herald, and now radio/Internet guys like WEEI and the Boston Dirt Dogs (run by the Globe) literally SATURATE the New England media with all sports, even the suck-ass Bruins.
They were ALL OVER the media when Tom Brady knocked up Bridget Moynahan, to the point people were just going, "STFU already, will ya?"
Yes, Bird has the ONE illegit child, but that's IT. And if that's the worst he's done, he's a saint by NBA (and pro athlete) standards.
You want to drop dirt on someone, start with guys like Karl Malone, who got a 13-year old pregnant while he was at La Tech, and the only way we know that is that the kid got drafted by the Buffalo Bills a couple of years back, or his WNBA-playing illegit daughter.
Or maybe Calivn Murphy's 14 kids.
Or Evander Holyfield's 9 kids.
Or Ray Lewis' 6 kids.
Or Steve Garvey's. Nah, nothing to see here, dude.
