Like the WWE, it's a soap opera tailored towards men. What else is gonna draw attention the week between Christmas and NYE.I’m a little surprised no mention of John Dennis giving John Tomase the finger and leaving the studio while on the air this morning?
If a tree flips the bird in the woods with no one around, does anyone really care?I’m a little surprised no mention of John Dennis giving John Tomase the finger and leaving the studio while on the air this morning?
No he doesn’t. He’s back on this morning and still talking about yesterday morning. He just a Minihane wannabe. He sucks.reimer does better w/o homophpbic slurs from jerry-condescending and despicable.
Sports Hub is now steaming the regular radio feed. So their metrics should be the same going forward.(The Sports Hub bills separately for its online stream; WEEI plays the same ads.)

Is there anything more pathetic in life than the replies to that tweet? Maybe it's just a perspective thing that I don't understand, but it's just weird to me that some people fanboy over these weei guys like they're Brady. It's talk radio.Meanwhile, Rich is trying to claim some sort of victory in regards to December:
You see the same thing if you look at the tweets from EEI regarding their ratings.Is there anything more pathetic in life than the replies to that tweet?

I think Dale & Holley has been very good since they added Keefe. They tend to stay out of the drama BS and for some reason Dale doesn't bother me like he does some people.I grew up on WEEI and would pretty much listen to it whenever I was in the car. I never listened to the morning show due to never being in my car before 10 am, but I would listen to midway, afternoon and whatever night show was on regularly. Over the last year or so I feel like the emphasis on hot takes and worked feuds between the shows has basically destroyed the station for me. Even the random fill-in guys like Reimer are just full of BS and are trying to get reactions out of people the entire time. It’s not entertaining or informative and it sucks that the ratings seem to reflect that this is the correct method use. Earlier this year I subscribed to Spotify premium and got a car with Bluetooth connectivity; if I want sports talk I can get it from the many podcasts available. The only time I ever listen now is if a game is on or there is big breaking news.
I don't think they care. It's just another form of reality entertainment.Do the average listeners not realize that the feuds and drama is 100% manufactured BS, or do they not care and enjoy EEI like they do a crappy reality TV show?
I'm guessing a little bit of both, and I think you hit the nail on the head with the reality TV comparison. Reality TV audiences are 50% suckers who think it's real and 50% people who know it's manufactured but find it entertaining anyway. Sadly, that probably describes a good 75-80% of the American population these days.Do the average listeners not realize that the feuds and drama is 100% manufactured BS, or do they not care and enjoy EEI like they do a crappy reality TV show?
No it was that asshole Dwayne GlasscockDidn't Charles Laquadara do that first? I remember my dad talking about that back in the day.
Holley and Keefe are great, like a pair of reasonable, passionate sports fans who like each other, share their inside jokes with you, and have a sense of humor about themselves. Dale is like a lame uncle who tries to butt in on their conversation. He's not terrible, but he doesn't add much. But I have heard Holley and Keefe without Dale there, and they could use someone to help move things along at times. They need a better straight man.I think Dale & Holley has been very good since they added Keefe.

Was that when he played Tusk for however many hours straight?No it was that asshole Dwayne Glasscock
Agreed. The best days are when Dale is off or has to leave early to go do hockey.Holley and Keefe are great, like a pair of reasonable, passionate sports fans who like each other, share their inside jokes with you, and have a sense of humor about themselves.

Looks like he just got renewed, so I guess we're not getting our wish any time soon:Agreed. The best days are when Dale is off or has to leave early to go do hockey.
This is very likely.We're off to the races - Kirk running with the notion that BB himself is Wickersham's key source.
I can get maybe myself to the idea tat BB would feed this to someone, but why Wickersham?This is very likely.
I'm pretty confident that Ed was being facetious.I can get maybe myself to the idea tat BB would feed this to someone, but why Wickersham?
And why talk on the verge of a playoff run?

If the Hillel post wasn't sarcasm, then I might as well go home and start drinking early.I can get maybe myself to the idea that BB would feed this to someone, but why Wickersham?

Do it anyway. Reward yourself.If the Hillel post wasn't sarcasm, then I might as well go home and start drinking early.
Sound advice.Do it anyway. Reward yourself.
That's weird. Minihane mentions them by name ALL the time and went on a huge rant just last week, attacking Rich for his spin on the ratings and the content of their show. Maybe a new protocol came down from management?During a T&R commercial I flipped over and a caller called in (they were talking about Wickersham) and started his call saying that Wickersham was on T&R and went to comment on an aspect of what Wickersham said. WEEI actually dumped the audio mentioning T&R. It sounded quite odd, but you could figure out what he said.
I know it's protocol to say "across the street" or not reference directly other shows, but dumping audio? That's pretty lame.
Funny thing is coming out of the drop Kirk actually said T&R did a good job ("they didn't a decent job and I usually rip them") or something like that. It just was weird that WEEI felt the need to immediately drop it.That's weird.

It’s really a shame that the afternoon show is stuck there. The morning and mid-day are fucking horrendous.Pretty telling when the official EEI twitter account is pushing this out. That station is garbage.
