Gerry Callahan had no idea who Andrew Bailey is and couldn't believe he won the 2009 AL Rookie of the Year award.
More golf this morning, which was interesting, since I was expecting more humorless Mel Gibson talk. Since I don't like golf, I switched over to the other station to listen to them giggling about how Toucher doesn't watch porn. The porn discussion was funnier. But I tip my cap to D & C for doing some good sports talk.They do golf talk better than anyone else.
I tuned in during T&R commercial breaks between 7 and 8 this AM and they were talking golf. In great detail - analyzing the breaks of the greens, Tiger's swing, etc.
If I liked golf, I might have stuck around.
John Dennis is, apparently, still alive. And interested in A sport. It's just not one that fits my demographic. I'm not sure who is in the demo for an hour of fairway analysis, but to each his own.
The most stunning part of your post is that John Dennis was influenced by a fact.D&C (mostly C, admittedly) spent the better part of 2 hours implying that Martin Kaymer is gay. Beyond the implication, they felt like that was something suitable to make fun of. It wasn't until Brad Faxon arrived in Hour 3 mentioning Kaymer's Furman girlfriend that the two of them quit it.
We can only hope. Now that EEI has a rival that is actually gaining ground on them, I wonder if they would have the guts to suspend them.At what point does this become another Metco?
Bashing Muslims is de rigueur right now, he'd have to go a lot further than the METCO comment to get a rise out of anyone.At what point does this become another Metco?

Jerry: "When you think about it the Ground Zero mosque is worse than the Koran burning because the victims families will have to see it every day."
It's like watching MSNBC last night with Olberman and Maddow, it's kind of fun because Callahan is such a sore loser.I can't believe that you listened to these two clowns today, of all days.
If I was in the car and the radio was broken and the only station that I could get was 850 and for some reason I couldn't shut it off, I'd jam a Q-tip in my ear. Hard.
My last/best day of listening to those clowns was the morning after Obama won in November 2008. So nice to have T+R as a sports talk option in the AM. And a bit telling that a show as bit and humor driven as T+R still manages to talk sports much more than D+C.Heard this morning around 725 or so, after a caller was complaining about the political talk and that D&C should "give it up" now that their guys lost.
Dennis - "What do you expect us to do? We're a talk radio show; do you want us to say 'Congrats Patrick won, congrats Frank won, now let's talk about David Ortiz's contract'?"
Yes. That's exactly what I want you to do. You're a sports radio show. Talk about Ortiz, VMart, The Celtics, Moss etc etc etc.
985 had gone to commercial. After hearing that, I went back to listening to commercials.I can't believe that you listened to these two clowns today, of all days.

Its not just knuckle-draggers, its also anyone who doesnt get the game they play. They appeal to those who share some of D&Cs political and racist beliefs, and they dont appeal but keep the attention via frustration of those with the complete opposite beliefs who are enraged at D&Cs propoganda and how completely innappropriate they are. Trut me D&C love to have people call in to argue against their beliefs and they secretly laugh because they know their approach is working.Besides the knuckle-dragging demographic, I have no idea who D+C appeal to. But perhaps I am just not old and cynical enough to understand.
I turned on D&C for a bit this morning...they were actually talking about Randy Moss.985 had gone to commercial. After hearing that, I went back to listening to commercials.
I don't know why so many people are always calling these guys racist. Most of you probably don't even know that Callahan's grandfather actually died in a Nazi concentration camp. It's true.They appeal to those who share some of D&Cs political and racist beliefs,
I'm chuckling at that more than I should be.I don't know why so many people are always calling these guys racist. Most of you probably don't even know that Callahan's grandfather actually died in a Nazi concentration camp. It's true.
He fell out of the guard tower.
And oldie but a goodie.
I was already drafting a response in my head after reading the first 2 sentences, then I started chuckling that was great.I don't know why so many people are always calling these guys racist.

Wow. You sure that's not an old photo of Tom Poston?anyone lucky enough to be able to watch their debut on NESN today?
Wow, could not believe when I saw them on NESN last night during the Bruins intermission, Dennis has to of gained a good 40 pounds since the last time I saw him
I've been watching since 6. My TV is usually tuned to Mike & Mike during the morning, but since they got bumped to ESPNews by college basketball coverage (really, a game at 6am?) I switched over to NESN. Nothing special, nothing horrible either. They've pretty much been talking Vick all morning, which is a tired story but given his performance last night, at least it's relevant.anyone lucky enough to be able to watch their debut on NESN today?
Considering each of them is looks like a different species of circus freak, putting them on TV is a truly horrid idea. Dennis looks like he's in a hollywood fat suit (Think Eddie Murphy's "Nutty Professor" or Travolta in "Hairspray") and KKKallahan is a dead ringer for Julian Beck in "Poltergeist 2." It's hard for me to decide which is uglier: their physical appearance, or their black, rotten souls.
I also noted that the Brady interview didn't run until after the 9 a.m. end of the show on NESN. If I were NESN, I'd be a little peeved about that scheduling.
Day old as in taped? Was it? I got the impression that because of the late game Sunday, Brady didn't call in yesterday at all (Dennis said something early in the show to the effect of having let Brady "sleep in" yesterday). I was disappointed that the interview didn't air until after 9, but I attributed it more to Tuesday being the usual off-day and Brady wasn't up at his usual 6am like he would be if he were headed to Foxboro.Well it was a day old interview and going forward the Brady interview will run live on NESN on Monday mornings.
