Couldn't agree more. They were attacking her as though she were Manny Ramirez, not someone who wrote a book about Manny Ramirez.
The blogger than smoothly transitions into a rant about art projects in the stimulus package, and how Iggy should explain that. I am laughing my ass off right now.
Good Lord! I had to look because I didn't think there was any way that someone would need to blog about the producer for a couple of bottom-feeding douchenozzles. This country may actually be in more trouble than originally thought. Wow!
Aside from it implying something going on between Hazel Mae and her married co-worker?
Are you serious??? They weren't implying anything, it was a flippin joke because he now gets to work with an attractive (to some) woman. You are reading way too much into this, if you were offended by this I suggest you stay away from the Big Show.
And I do (As I do 90% of WEEI). I listened that day because of the person being interviewed.
He-Man, Woman-Haters club?? They made a joke about Sean Casey hanging out with Hazel Mae after hours. They were doing it to lighten the mood and get a laugh out of Casey and the listeners. I hear way more "sleazy" things every day on the Radio, on TV, on the train, walking down the street etc.
Yes, because Casey is generally a dark and humorless fellow.
No offense, but why? Women are not their core demographic, men ages 18-54 (I think 54) are, and just about every male that heard that comment probably chuckled. Now you may have a bigger problem with men still chucking at that, but you might as well tell us that porn degrades women too, it isn't going to make a difference because you aren't and probably never will be EEI's target demographic.
It's not like finding Casey being interviewed is a hard thing to do, why would EEI care about offending you if you aren't a regular listener anyway?
Not offended at all, excellent question really. But that's part of my issue (not with D&C specifically so this is the wrong thread for this really). Women don't fit into their core demographic because they refuse to acknowledge women as genuine parts of the sports fanbase. Which is why I (and others) don't listen. They're classified as either "fans of a lessor stature than I" who follow sports just because there are cute guys playing or people who need to be told what a balk is and to be kept away from the television on Sundays. Why would I listen to something that sees me as a non-entity? The thing is, I WANT to listen. I want to be able to listen to sports radio without coming away wondering why I did.
I get where he's coming from, but he's a star athlete who just married Ben Affleck's ex-girlfriend. Little naive to think people aren't gonna talk about it. And saying he married up isn't exactly controversial.
Nothing more to it than what was mentioned above on D&C's side, aside from his production I'm not a Youkilis fan, I can't stand his antics and thought it was great when Manny smacked him around in the dugout.
I assume you have seen his tantrums after he strikes out with an 8 run lead. I think he is that tightly wound and I think he is probably a huge prick, he would be the most hated player by Sox fans if he played in NY. But luckily I root for laundry and he produces.
Good point, this morning he is taking the "Red Sox weren't fair to Varitek" card, despite all evidence against that from Felger and callers, he still contends the Sox should have paid Tek more. WTF, shut up.
At least Halloran had bothered to listen to what Varitek said about the negotiations. Felger obviously hadn't paid any attention to Varitek's spring training comments, and in fact acted like Halloran must have been mistaken when he correctly presented Varitek's position. It's one thing to argue that a player isn't being forthright, it's quite another to be just plain ignorant of what he said.
He's got two books available on Amazon - one about Mickey Ward, and one about the 2003 Red Sox. I didn't hear the e-mail that set him off, but I doubt anyone was talking about one of those topics.
i agree completely, but he hasnt gone off on any crazy hate filled political rants yet today and has been somewhat fair with questioning the pats on why they didnt get more or wait a little longer.
Very sad indeed, and I keep getting the feeling that a lot of these guys have no clue just how good Saito was with the Dodgers.
Maybe they should just switch it up a bit and see what happens. It might be the best of both worlds - the fans get more intelligent sports talk while the hosts don't lose their jobs.
