Also, whether the ratings have been affected or not, I think most of us just think Minihane greatly improves the show (up from horrible fucking disaster to maybe listenable if all the podcasts are used up and you're sick of your music).
Hey now. John Dennis took the time this morning to remind all his listeners that neither he, nor Callahan are friends with Jerry Remy. They think he's a nice guy, and they have a "professional relationship", but that's it. He said it like 3 times, "we are not friends."John Marzano Olympic Hero said:Tsarnov's mother is not rich.
Nor is technically white.
Nor is she Gerry Callahan's friend.
Come on.

WHOA. THREE WHOLE TIMES? Well, NOW I'm convinced.CantKeepmedown said:Hey now.

Good lord, when have the four topics you listed NOT been talked about to death everywhere everyday for the past two weeks. I think 45 minutes on the day the HOF ballot was released is the least they could do.Tres Balls said:Last week, Mut and Merloni spent at least 45 minutes of one debating whether Bill Parcells or Ty Law should go into the Patriots Hall of Fame. The great illusion in sports is pretending it matters. They could talk about the upcoming NFL draft, the Bruins in the playoffs, the Red Sox slow start or the Boston Marathon and they chose: Law or Parcells.
WEEI needs to send Mut packing to Salkmeterville.
Trautwein's Degree said:At the end of the show last Friday, Mut read a graphic article about a man having sex with a beer can. It was highly graphic and caused me to change the channel. I thought, Dude knows he's getting canned.

Red(s)HawksFan said:Could Ryder just be an unfortunate victim of cost cutting? He's been there 16 years and he's in a relatively small role (though IMO a key one as the wrap-around guy for Sox broadcasts). Overpaid for what he's doing (in corporate's eyes) but to broaden his role (like officially making Planet Mikey into Planet Mikey and John) would mean having to pay him more. Easier to ditch him and spread his tasks around to other employees or a cheaper hire.
jsinger121 said:
It would been much better savings to fire Mike Adams and have Ryder take over that slot. He is better than Adams.
Um, based on the news yesterday, Ryder's gone now and Adams is gone when his contract (mercifully) expires, while Mutnansky (who presumably has a longer contract than either, and probably cheaper, given his experience) takes over at night, doing the Red Sox pre- and post-, as well as handling the night time shifts that don't have a Red Sox game.

I made the mistake of listening to it yesterday, and the only thing of note that I remember is Ordway saying that Mutt worked hard to improve and even called Glenn for advice. It's interesting that Ordway portrays himself as an expert on the Boston sports radio business, yet he didn't even have the self awareness to realize that his own show was at best mediocre for years before he was rightfully put out to pasture.John Marzano Olympic Hero said:I don't feel like listening to those guys, anyone care to summarize?

Ryder is moving over to the Total Traffic & Weather Network and will provide updates for stations all over New England.
I'll be sure to watch Maria Menounos on ERusty13 said:http://bostonherald.com/inside_track/the_inside_track/2014/05/we_hear_maria_menounos_marty_walsh_mike_mutnansky
Well, at least Ryder landed somewhere.
