I found out about this place from Art Martone on the ProJo Sox blog.
Site old timers found their way here either Martone or Simmons. I thought that it was so cool when both of them regularly posted on this place, it was like rubbing shoulders with a celebrity.
Ahhhh … the height of my work day trudging away at the law firm as a junior associate waiting for Boston Sports Guy’s daily links. Made those days a little bearable.
I'm so old (hey! I should start multiple threads on this topic!) that the job I had didn't have internet access so I had to wait (like a poor!) to go home and check the morning links at night.
He had some great back and forth with Butch from the Cape. JD accused Butch of working from a script and Butch would call him the Beasley Reece of talk radio (Reece as color analyst typically got the worst games).
Art and I met in Providence in June of 2012 to outline a book we were going to write about our years as fans of the Red Sox and Patriots. Alas, it never came to fruition, but we had a blast mapping out a possible treatment.
Believe it or not I think my first year was the first year we had internet. During my summer internship we had the old Wang computers!!
At my first job as a fund accountant, I think we had those Wang terminals too. The scuttlebutt around the office was that we didn't have emails because the higher ups were concerned that we'd email trade secrets to the competition.
Same here. I had moved from Boston to Central New York and finding Art's blog was a godsend as a Sox fan living away from the Boston area for the first time.
I used to time my morning trip to the crapper so that I could print out Bill's daily links and read them. The glory days of the Internet before our cell phones became miniature computers with browsers and apps.
