It’s been days since John Tomase of the Boston Herald has written an article on the Patriots, and weeks since he’s posted a blurb on the newspaper’s online NFL blog.

Now, a reader has pointed out to us that a job covering the Patriots has been advertised at JournalismJobs.com.

Tomase has been villified in the wake of his February 2008 report that the Patriots videotaped the Rams’ walk-through practice prior to Super Bowl XXXVI.  The Herald has since retracted the story, and Tomase apologized for the error.

Tomase has been covering the Red Sox of late.
