Delightfully to report, there is no Callahan on the show today. Unfortuately, Tanguay is in for Minihane.

NortheasternPJ said:Where did Tanguay come from anyways? He's been on CSNNE forever it seems like.
I googled him but he doesn't have a Wiki page, and I couldn't find anything relevant about his history.
Seems like he's really down to his last straw in New England.
Zo and Tanguay = Dead
Patriots Pre/Post = Dead
Relationship with 98.5 = Dead
WEEI = He's trying to kill it
CSNNE = Filled with people from 98.5 and WEEI at this point, if he kills all relationships with both stations, what use is there?

Gary Tanguay enters his seventh season as host of Patriots Preview and Patriots Postgame, offering a steady hand and unique insight to the network’s six hours of pre and post-game programming. Tanguay is also currently the co-host of Comcast Sports Net Mohegan Sun Sports Tonight, a twice-nightly 30-minute sports news and opinion show. Prior to joining FSN New England, Tanguay worked as a sports anchor/reporter with WBZ-TV (CBS) in Boston. During his two-and-a-half year tenure at WBZ-TV, Tanguay traveled with the Boston Bruins and New England Patriots and served as a host on the popular Sunday night Sports Final. Arriving on the New England television scene in 1995, Tanguay worked with WGMC television in Worcester, WLVI-TV (WB) in Boston and New England Cable News (NECN).
In 1998, he was recognized with the Associated Press Best Sports Feature Award for his portrayal of the Joey DeGrandis story, a local boxing champion. Tanguay served as an original staff member at Sports Radio 850 WEEI in Boston; sports director for WERZ-FM and WMYF-AM in Exeter, NH; and as a radio personality at WIDE-AM and WYJY-FM in Biddeford, ME.
grimshaw said:So Kirk comes back, Tanguay is gone, and we get Glen Ordway which is like trading Mike Lansing for Pervis Ellison. Why are we being punished, so?
Oh wow is this brutal. I clicked on it out of curiosity but around 8 minutes in Tanguay saying "vag" almost made me puke.the1andonly3003 said:http://media.weei.com/a/107179763/dennis-and-callahan-s-dirty-laundry-7-7-15.htm
this is the clip where they are gossiping about each other and slamming other local radio/tv guys
so there is ice between Gerry and Dino...hm...jealous of Kirk and Gerry's friendship?

WOW! I might have to listen now.yep said:Wow. Highlights for those who didn't listen:
Clip is John Dennis and Minihane with Tanguay filling in for Gerry.
Tanguay spends about 20 minutes griping about Ordway getting more hours than he does, makes cracks about Ordway's age, tells JD he was more fun when he drank and should start drinking again, complains that Ordway is too old and "stabbed me in the back" (because Ordway is filling in tomorrow instead of Tanguay). It's hard to tell, but it doesn't really sound like he's joking (at least, not 100%). Minihane trying to keep it light. Tanguay then starts going off on Minihane and JD for "not having his back", both profess being powerless about the fill-in assignments. There is talk that Gerry Callahan might have (must have) plugged Ordway to the brass. Gerry loves Ordway.
It's about 23 minutes in when John Dennis starts dropping bombs (I am paraphrasing from memory, here, quotes may not be exact but they are fair):
- JD: "Not sure if it makes you feel better, but if it were up to Gerry, I'd be out and Ordway would be in here full-time".
Minihane says something about how it has felt icy in the studio lately.
- JD: "I have nothing to say to the man." Why not? "I just don't."
- JD: "Now that my likability has gone up since I quit drinking, and I'm not as hated, Gerry is uncomfortable with that".
- JD: "Gerry is this tough guy, and he thinks if you have a problem with alcohol, a problem with drugs, if you need help, that means he can look down his nose at you."
- JD (re: Gerry and his communication): "Everything is indirect, everything goes through someone else."
- JD: "I am telling you, I'm serious: if Gerry had his way, Ordway would be in tomorrow, and I would go to Miromar Lakes. I know that for a fact."
- JD: "I'm here for another two years, brother..." (after that) "...do you really think they're going to walk in and give me another five-year deal?"
- JD (to Minihane): "This is not a pejorative, this is just a fact: you and Callahan are linked and joined at the hip... One doesn't leave the building until the other is ready to go. You go to the bathroom together, you go to get a drink together, you spoke to nobody, you interacted with nobody..."
Tanguay throwing fuel on the fire the whole time, Minihane trying to downplay/make light of it. JD uses the phrases "sloppy seconds" in reference to what he gets after Minihane is done with Gerry. Caller bitches about Gerry, and JD agrees with them. Tanguay tells Minihane that he wants Minihane's job, and that he wanted JD's job when Dino went to rehab. JD says that Gerry sees Minihane as part of the long-term future, not Dennis, and that the relationship is obvious to everyone in the building. Tanguay calls Minihane "the younger woman". Minihane keeps trying to downplay.
The whole thing does not sound like a joke nor a bit.
Entercom has a long history of dumb, fake radio bits. Believe nothing from them.The Allented Mr Ripley said:Keep in mind that this is the same station that had Mike Adams barricading himself in the studio booth until he was given the night slot permanently, which was obviously a ratings stunt.

I think it was more to show how happy a couple they once were lol.Corsi said:
Could they find an older photo? Montreal is the still on the out-of-town scoreboard for christ's sake.
That's where I'm at, there's just enough truth to all of this that it would make sense for Dennis to be peeved and see the writing on the wall with Minihane.Dan Murfman said:Wouldn't put it past them to try the radio feud but they have been doing it together for 18 years maybe they are just sick of each other.

John Marzano Olympic Hero said:If this isn't a complete work, I'd be shocked. No matter how dumb we think Dennis and Callahan are, they aren't going to really air their dirty laundry on radio. And the whole "Kirk as the other woman" and "Gerry thinks I'm not fun since I went to rehab" is such a trite and boring cliche. And bringing Ordway and Tanguay into this whole mess is added stupidity.
Like anyone gives a shit about what Glenn Ordway does with his time.
So weird that this happened right before training camp open and in the midst of another lost Red Sox season.
I WONDER WHAT THEY'LL SAY NEXT???????
Kliq said:Today on Dale and Holley they played a bit from mid-day where Tanguay was describing what someone would have to do now to avoid becoming a date rapist and then they had Thornton bagging on Tanguay. What a mess, it is spilling over into every other show on the network and it makes for sucky radio. They are literally daring me to touch the dial.
As someone that has watched way too much pro wrestling, my experience dictates that all of this is a work. I don't think they have a big plan with this or anything, but I do believe that management probably told these guys to start ripping each other left and right in some desperate ratings ploy.
Okay, it just occured to me that this is a "work" in the sense that "bumfight" videos were a competitive martial art.Kliq said:...As someone that has watched way too much pro wrestling, my experience dictates that all of this is a work.

Are you talking about the time Felger asked Gammons a question about Manny, and referred to Manny as "the best right handed hitter in the game"? Gammons fired back with "you ever heard of Albert Pujols?"John Marzano Olympic Hero said:I was thinking about this last night and the only time I can recall any real acrimony on the Big Show involved Michael Felger. One involved Peter Gammons (Felger was right)
JayMags71 said:Are you talking about the time Felger asked Gammons a question about Manny, and referred to Manny as "the best right handed hitter in the game"? Gammons fired back with "you ever heard of Albert Pujols?"
Felger used to shit all over himself when talking baseball.
John Marzano Olympic Hero said:
Manny was no slouch at the plate (neither was Pujols, of course) and this was a perfectly debatable point. For some reason Gammons was just acting like a real asshole when he didn't have to.
It's not like Felger was saying that Ted Williams was the greatest right-handed hitter of his era.
Rusty13 said:Ordway also use to rib Felger all the time for his "Yeah, what up with that?" question to a black athlete (can't remember who) during an interview on the Big Show. That used to drive him crazy.
