The front pages of today’s local dailies illustrate all you need to know about the differences between the two.

Boston Globe:

Boston Herald:

That the Herald chose New England Patriot tight end Rob Gronkowski (best known for being lewd, crude, and often stewed) as its Poster Son is one thing; that his story is largely unremarkable is another (it’s one-half of Karen Guregian’s NFL Notes column).

That Diane Gronkowski’s  expectations are so low is something else entirely.

Rob and his brothers, Gordie, Dan, Chris and Glenn were all well-fed and well cared for. That’s why “Robbie” as he is known to Mom, will be cooking up a special treat today. For her part, Diane Gronkowski would welcome something as simple as a visit. That’s all it would take to put a smile on her face today.

And all it took to put her son on the Herald’s front page.
