Isn't it interesting how so many in the local Boston sports media have come to the 'defense' of John Henry on his Liverpool spending spree? All of sudden, sportswriters have become masters of international finance. No problem, they say. Two different operations, they say. One doesn't affect the other, they say. Right. Billionaires don't need lowly scribes to cover their butts. But Henry gets it anyway. When one or two reporters (CBS's Jon Heyman/YAHOO!'s Jeff Passan) dare to say the Emperor has no clothes, the media hordes come out of the woodwork to tell us all is well.Here's the simple truth. Recently, John Henry spent $179 million on Liverpool soccer, and $10 million on your Carmine Hose. I don't care which of his pockets that cash comes out of—it's spent on one and not the other. They get some dude named Luis Suarez, we get Nick Punto. You decide.
