John Calipari is going to be on tomorrow morning at 8:30 to address the Shank column about UMass honoring him this week.
I mean, Brady has brought this upon himself with the Trump hat in his locker. He brought the politics into this and now that's fair game for a question. I am glad that he was asked the question.Controversies before they happen - Tom Brady in a question about long time friend Donald Trump and whether he supports him?
TB- I support all of my friends. Think it's impressive that he's gone in three different career directions.
Media- Tom Brady fails to denounce Trump Muslim plan WHAT A MONSTER!
Idiots. I mean they explicitly note that this is a no win stupid question and yet they plow ahead anyway.
He did not fucking bring politics into this because he had a ball cap in his locker. He has consistently given non answer answers, I don't follow politics, etc. He has not officially, and likely will not, endorse any candidate. It's not his job to be a surrogate for anyone's political laundry. The question is fine, the fake outrage that will inevitably stem from his answer is sadly par for the course.I mean, Brady has brought this upon himself with the Trump hat in his locker.

He opened the door for these types of questions by having the cap in his locker and, to a certain extent, appearing at the State of the Union address back when. This is one of the prices people pay for celebrity in America in 2015, getting everything scrutinized. He handles the questions well, but Brady absolutely brought politics into it. He should, and most likely will, expect these questions as long as Trump is part of the conversation.He did not fucking bring politics into this because he had a ball cap in his locker.

Brady can support Trump or Rubio or Hillary or Sanders, it doesn't make a difference. But to say it's just something someone gave him and he tossed it in his locker is a bit much. He's done a million interviews in front of his locker and he had to know it would be seen by putting where he did.I don't think anyone really knows what his political views are. Not sure what there is to separate. And having an item in your locker that camera picks up is not the same as publicly wearing it, and giving an endorsement. It seems more like something the Trump camp sent him, and he tossed it in his locker.
I have a friend who agrees with him. I just don't get it.Kirk Minihane - "That's My Boy is a top 25 comedy movie of all time."
This is just awful, awful radio.
He was as bad today as I've ever heard, and that's saying something.Gary Tanguay is the worst, I just have nothing else, he's just awful.
Exactly. This is the same shtick that Felger and Mazz pull all the time. Only with Felger, you know he's doing it intentionally while with Tanguay, the line between act and real is a lot harder to distinguish.It's pretty simple, Tanguay's act is working. You're talking about him and I'm sure the phone lines light up with callers wanting to go off on him. People love to be outraged and Tanguay gives them plenty of opportunity.
Interesting theory. Although I know I personally can't change the dial fast enough as soon as I hear Tanguay's voice.It's pretty simple, Tanguay's act is working.

Absolutely. Get paid to shit talk Dale Arnold sounds like a dream job.it's got to be fun taking rips at Dale all the time and having it be station-sanctioned and likely station-mandated.
Absolutely. In fact, I'd even say Tanguay is the favorite to replace Dino whenever he decides to sail off into the sunset for good.Agree that the Tanguay thing is most definitely working. If he wants to have uninformed/trollish takes, fine. He'll get the shit kicked out of him by Minihane and Callahan and that's when it's borderline entertaining. As Minihane mentioned this morning, Tanguay is more fun than JD since you can actually rip on him, call him a moron and not worry about anything. If Felger challenged Mazz and called him an idiot once in a while - that show would be way more entertaining.
The schtick doesn't work as well on other shows because they take him more seriously.
I'm with you. If Tanguay is helping the WEEI #s, so be it, but I'm not the least bit entertained by it and change the station anytime I hear him.Yeah the above is correct Tangauy's job is to say stupid things and get abused by the other hosts. Tanguay is dumb enough and desperate enough to go with it.
I guess some people think it's entertaining, I don't see it.
I know some on this site don't like Portnoy or Barstool, but if you're a Pats fan and a Volin hater, this is must listen.Portnoy v. Volin. Heel v. Heel. And I couldn't help but listen to the whole thing.

Just for starters, let's set the Way Back Machine to August 8, 2015:Wow yeah he's terrible. He's the worst kind of troll where he can't even argue his points with someone knowledgeable so he resorts to ad homenim attacks. Him saying Portnoy isn't a journalist and saying he uses clickbait and Portnoy basically saying "Yes but am I wrong?" was great. Volin has an incredibly high opinion of himself. He thinks he's Bob Woodward.
Portnoy's an unapologetic dink, but Volin should have known better.
Volin is truly dimwitted... one of those people you squint at because they're so thick.
Care to post some? Or are you just tickling our asses with a feather?Dino's Twitter account looks like he's falling off the wagon again. As much as I despise him it's sad to see someone struggling with addiction
I literally just came here to post something similar. I would expect they already have sent out a statement acknowledging their misinformation, which no question, has set the story. Pro Football Talk spread the story nationally right away based on the initial tweet. As we know, that is all that matters once it is out there. D&C have been telling everybody that about Mort for nearly a year.I'm guessing this morning they've been apologizing for putting out a false tweet about Chandler Jones OD'ing at Gronk's house all morning?
I'd be sad if they didn't hold themselves to the same standard they've been burying Mort over for a year.

That My Boy was awful as is any sander movie after growups 2Kirk Minihane - "That's My Boy is a top 25 comedy movie of all time."
This is just awful, awful radio.
One does not simply tell God to bless Himself.If you stood next to Bill Belichick, and he sneezed, and you didn't say God Bless You, Bruce Allen would accuse you of being a Patriots hater.
The rug loses all its impact on radio.D&C had Charley Casserly on after this tweet:

He's not very good radio.
