I hope someone sends Boomer clips of Toucher introducing Boomer's CBS Sports minutes. The disdain Fred has for them is awesome.

T&r are great interviewers. Their interviews with Gammons are 10x better than when he was on F&M. They know when to be serious and when to joke around.the1andonly3003 said:
Gresh sucks at interviews.
I thought Felger's interviews with Gammons were great radio. You could feel their hatred for each other oozing through the airwaves.
For some reason, I didn't want to listen to my ipod this morning and during a commercial break of Toucher and Rich, I turned to D & C...i learned today (while discussing the homeless man who found and gave back the 41 grand)...
Homeless people all are insane and mentally unstable, yet at the same time, they choose and WANT to be on the street.
Don't ever bother giving homeless people anything buy money, because all they want is booze or drugs. Try to give them food, they couldn't care less.
There are hotels where homeless people could go if they really wanted to.
There are more than enough food in soup kitchens, etc. for homeless people to get fed.

Not only that, the temporary digs this guy apparently had were pretty sweet! On an island! His own locker!
It takes a special kind of douchebag to spend two days taking veiled shots at a homeless guy, making him fodder for "comedy"?
I turned on my tv and it was on NESN from last night, and I learned something. It's cool, apparently if the person is a "Chinese national", you can assume they're up to no good with a bag of money. And it's totally cool to steal from people you think are up to no good.
They also "informed" a caller that there's no extra game, just tie-breakers, if 2 teams tie for a division but one of them gets a wild card.
He also claims he hasn't had a drink since St. Patrick's Day, which just makes his Twitter account more sad if he's actually sober. I can't wait until they get canceled or get shuttled off to WRKO.
Its crazy that T&R have a 13.7 share and D&C has a 6.0 and they're still grasping to the NESN, Worcester and Providence numbers. The thing is that you can easily get 98.5 in Providence and Worcester, but they just don't count towards those ratings so those people don't count for 98.5.

He needs to go. I can't imagine anyone in Corporate America popping off like this and keeping their job. His tweeting on Kenya is barely a step above the Metco Gorilla comments from years back. Get rid of this asshole.
I'm pretty continually angered when media personalities are forced to shut up on twitter. I think it's dumb of these companies to muzzle people in a very informal and humanizing medium. But all of that goes out the window in regards to John Dennis. How on earth they haven't ordered him off twitter, fired him for his twitter actions, or just somehow got it through his thick skull that it isn't great for the station's image for him to be acting like a complete assclown on twitter is completely beyond me. At this point, I think the only plausible explanation is that they're giving him the rope to hang himself with. I feel like he's had enough rope to hang his own fat ass for about 3 years now.
I wonder why they havent tried to use his twitter rants as cause to fire him and terminate his contract. There must be some clause in there about upholding the image of EEI
Callahan touched on this a little bit yesterday, said JD was the one guy who absolutely did not care what others thought about him no matter the occasion.
Also, with regards to tweets there was this little gem yesterday as well:

When he and Gerry started their show he was primarily known as a news sports reader and not a drunken buffoon. By the time it was revealed that he was an asshole, they had entrenched themselves by having a morning show with big ratings and quality advertisers. At this point, I just assume they are still benefiting from a strong contract that was signed before their slide.
Anyone listen this morning? I caught the tail end of a Mo Rivera convo and they were talking about Bobby Orr and how he wasn't a national figure or something...and then Callahan goes..and Mo isn't even AMERICAN! that was the end of that part and they never came back...anyone know what context he was talking in?
PC Drunken Friar said:
The context was trying to identify athletes that match the combo of great player and good guy reputation that Rivera has, in the sense of who else, when they retire(d), warrant the splooge-fest Mo has been subject to this year.
The whole conversation was awkward, since aside from Callahan's xenophobia, they couldn't seem to get past their homophobia either...choosing to keep going back to how "uncomfortable" the moment was when Mo was crying on Pettitte's shoulder.

Bobby Orr passes Callahan's melanin-based "Real American" test, Canadian or not.
I heard Minihane bad mouthing Haggs today and was pretty taken aback. Calling him a bad person, I think he may have said horrible or one of the worst, what the fuck is his problem. I get that he is a contrarian and people want to compare him to Felger, but I have never heard Felger insult other people in the industry like that. Talk about unprofessional, what a prick.
This isn't the first time he's taken petty shots at another media personality either. Between this, calling Jack Edwards an embarrassment and his hilarious challenge to Fred Toucher to a "sports debate", I don't understand what people see in him. Is it just that he's not as bad as D&C?
Check out his twitter account, where he was bashed for tweeting about the Browns game while the opening Bruins game was on. "DVR, ever heard of it?"
It's not even the first time in the last 8 days he's said that.

If John Dennis said that in a loud voice to a patron at a restaurant sitting near him, what would happen? It is astounding to me what people will post on Twitter. Doesn't Dennis have a wife? Or not? Wouldn't Dennnis' wife take some umbrage with him fucking everyone else's wife? Maybe he's single - I have no idea. But I feel like he talks about having a family.
And I understand he's not being literal - but isn't that a strange expression for a conservative family man to use? You go around fucking other people's wives all the time, John? That seems rather untoward. And all of these wives just have the hots for old JD because what buxom young lass wouldn't want to screw a middle-aged fat man who talks about sports on the radio for a living? They're lining up at his door?
He is a very strange human being.

It's ok guys. Just a little bathroom humor.
Nothing he said upset me....just a suggestion for me to be funny. Poor effort by me. I'm very sorry he took it for something IT WAS NOT !
I guess sometimes things, meaning, intent can get lost in translation on Twitter, and I assure you this is one of those times.....
WOW. For the record, it was a JOKE, a JAB, some LOCKER ROOM humor. I wasn't mad AT ALL. In fact, I was glad he liked me in Kingpin....
Sorry........I'm not sure how to make it look all twitter like in a reply

So what he's saying is he didn't fuck the guys wife?
Thanks for clearing that up JD!
When do you think the last time John Dennis was in any sort of locker room was, including a gym? I'm saying 5 years?

"You guys, it's funny because I can't get laid! I was making the joke all about me! You all know my love of self depreciation humor! I'm like a less-Jewish Woody Allen! LOLz!"
