Good lord. Aside from Buckley, who I like, Thornton and Smerlas are two of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. If only there was some way they could have added Butch Stearns and Larry Johnson to that mix.
Chad Finn said:Not sure if I've mentioned it here or not, but it was a note in my Globe column today -- Gerry is definitely coming back (already signed), but Dino is very much up in the air. Deal is up Sunday. Could be a very interesting show early next week.

WEEI is keeping its @DandCShow program intact. @JohnDennisWEEI has agreed to terms today. @GerryCallahan already had.
Bravo.John Marzano Olympic Hero said:
Dennis probably took so long to sign because he was asking questions about the new Entercom healthcare plan.
"So, it sounds to me that you are saying, as my current -- and future, I hope, ha, ha -- humans resource manager that the HMO, otherwise known as an health maintenance organization, choice may be, in fact, based on averages and the number of times a person, in this case ME or maybe in other cases, my new wife, needs to be examined by a doctor, nurse practitioner, EMT--otherwise known as an emergency medical technician--might be cheaper and, dare I say, a better and smarter choice than if I were to choose the corresponding option, the PPO or preferred private organization? Because, if you are actually saying that, then there are a few other questions, or queries or I don't know, requests, maybe, that I need to ask you before we move further."
Well then be sure to tune in Monday.John Marzano Olympic Hero said:

I wish I was joking.
Swap in Ordway for Stearns and re-direct the hate. The trio can then reprise the good old days, punching in the mouth any caller who expresses the mildest reservation re the NEP.Byrdbrain said:Well then be sure to tune in Monday.

allstonite said:What jackasses. At 98.5 Fred was on vacation at least 2 weeks last month and Rich was out almost all month because his wife was sick. I don't listen to WEEI but since it was August I doubt both D&C were there all month. So good for them for winning basically a meaningless month. Fred said a few weeks ago "see them in September" so I hope they go back to crushing D&C.

Wow. Considering how courageous Sam was to do what he did this is unreal. Has to be on Gerry's top 10 list of disgusting statements.doctormoist said:Talking about Michael Sam...

Seeing this posted right after SF121's post hoping they get themselves in trouble got me thinking that they will be encouraged to go back to their politics and controversial takes. They did get tons of attention with the Kirk stuff and it did translate into improved ratings. Perhaps they will wind up being the shock jocks of local sports, which is funny considering how T&R are perceived.

They were covering the Democratic Gubernatorial debate last night with their usual fair and balanced tact. At one point Minihane said something about Coakley that they beeped out for about 10-15 seconds, and when they came back Dennis was saying that Kirk couldn't say what he had said. I am on board with rooting for them to talk themselves out of a job but I worry that their own internal restraints might have too much judgement for that. Dare to dream...
Also, NESN was on at the gym the AM and my generation one iPod had crapped out. From about 8-8:30 they talked about 95% sports and weren't inherently terrible. None of this is original thinking on this thread but I really believe there might be an opening for a mostly sports AM show for people who don't like T&R, but I don't think Gerry can help himself steer clear of the politics.

Minihane probably said something nice about Coakley, which JD couldn't stomach.

Coakley was (IIRC) among the public persons who ripped Minnihan for his Andrews comments. So, it was probably something about how if she were prettier she wouldn't be losing to Charlie Baker or some other insipid bullshit.
Dick Pole Upside said:I thought soxfan121 was intentionally misspelling the name as an homage to Gerry, as in Kirk is a mini-Callahan, or Minnihan...
Well to defend them to some degree they were discussing a particularly dumb article on Boston.com that said the Patriots should have signed Sam because it would make everything better.doctormoist said:Talking about Michael Sam...

That doesn't even make any sense. Is he implying that people who go to expensive universities get food stamps? Or that all muslims are poor? Or that poor people are likely to be terrorists?
It's like he just found things he hates - educated people, muslim people, and poor people - and just jammed them together so he could feel good about himself. I can't find any other logic behind it.
They probably think they are losing listeners to the Kuhner Report.kajana141 said:New contract, quick jump in the ratings due to T&R vacation and Erin Andrews scandal and now these dopes seem to be going back to the routine of more political and bigotry talk. This is the formula that almost drove them off the air until Minnihan came along threw them a life jacket. Hopefully their new contract is relatively short so they can dig themselves a ratings hole they cannot climb out of. The show is completely unlistenable again and i'm someone who would only tune in during T&R commercials.
