It wasn’t a huge amount of money, but what bothers me more is that it’s not about the money. An advertiser, large or small, has the right to advertise in a safe environment and do it without fear of being seen in a negative light.”

I have been suggesting this for a long time. This is such an easy, cheap solution for them. And the conservative guy that 680 has right now in morning drive, Kuhner, is absolutely horrible. It would actually be a big upgrade.

Seems easy, but what if, in reality, they know even less about poltics and current events than they do about sports. I realize that "knowledge" is not the top requirement for these jobs, but I thinks its fair to say that D & C "know" more about sports than they do anything else. And given that their sports opinions are rooted firmly in 1990 or so, the fact that they show no desire to learn anything knew suggests that they might not do too well if the the nominal sports foundation were removed. Whatever their faults, sports still occupies a majority of their airtime (certainly a plurality); can you imagine the shitshow that would ensue if these clowns couldn't talk *any* sports (or very little)? There'd be dead air by week 3. (And since entercome wouldn't want them to compete with whoever replaces them on WEEI, sportstalk would likely be limited in their new gig).

Oh, and I'm a cop. So, I consider myself to be working class; at the very least, middle class. I have some shared experience with those listeners whom I criticize.
This is why they do what they do. Stir the pot, grab the ratings, make some money. If you think it's anything more than that, they've got you.Dave Stapleton said:What did he say?!?!?!
Totally agree. The problem is, they're always one turn of phrase away from comparing people to monkeys or god knows what else.Sparky Lyle said:
You know what's fucked up about all this for me? When these guys talk about SPORTS, AND ONLY SPORTS, I can listen to them. I like them actually. I even think that Callahan writes fairly well, I've always thought that. Even John Dennis I liked when he was at Channel 7. I just simply don't understand why they are so mean. What happened in their lives that caused them to hate as much as they do, hate in such a petty, juvenile way? I have friends who view the world so differently from me but remain my dear friends because they are kind and decent. They like me, even though I come from a different place. These guys hate themselves. They hate a lot of things. Why? What a waste of time and talent.
You must not have listened to them pre-TSH. They spent at least 75% of the time talking about politics/news.joe dokes said:

I think you're right, but I don't think that matters. Their show in its current format (with maybe a little more politics) would fit on 680 in the same way Toucher and Rich fit on 98.5. I don't think they'd need to make major format or talking point changes.joe dokes said:

Haha. awesome.Chad Finn said:Complain about the stories that don't have my byline if you want, but I've personally been more than fair to them, especially in terms of writing about their turnaround in the mornings. I also haven't been wrong about a damn thing I've written about that station in five years on the beat.
Oh I don't disagree. I think you've been more than fair, which is also amusing when John Dennis bashes you for being a mouthpiece for 98.5 (which is far from true).Chad Finn said:Complain about the stories that don't have my byline if you want, but I've personally been more than fair to them, especially in terms of writing about their turnaround in the mornings.

Thanks for once again making Toucher & Rich #1 for the month of January! Dennis & Callahan fall to 4th.

John Marzano Olympic Hero said:I didn't hear that part, but I flipped over to EEI (Rich was talking about how much he hates LeBron and I couldn't listen to that -- that horse is dead, it's pretty much beating glue now) and I heard Minnihan and Callahan really getting into it about same sex couples. Callahan kept asking Minnihan if he considered it "healthy" for two men or two women to raise a child. Minnihan kept asking him, "What do you mean by that?" and Callahan kept avoiding an answer. Finally Minnihan called him a dick three times and also a bigot before Dennis jumped in.
As far as car-crash radio goes, this was pretty good. Kirk Minnihan may be my new favorite Boston radio personality.
The Four Peters said:Too bad you flipped off of T+R, it was actually a really good interview with Mike Gorman where Gorman said he thought LeBron is the best player of all time and asked Rich flat out why he hated him so much, reasoning that other than being really good and participating in the "The Decision", he doesn't do anything negative. It was a fairly interesting back and forth, you might have just caught it at the wrong time.
Mike Gorman is a great interview, and I hate basketball.

Ho-ly shit, the man is a lunatic.
