Gerry Callahan is an first class clown. Much like Anne, I tune into WEEI to hear about sports, not a tirade about the Democratic party. And for the record I’m a Republican. If I want to hear about Obama, I’ll look for my buddy Rush.

Hey Gerry how about doing something different in the mornings- Talk about freekin sports. I don’t give a rats ass what your political views are. I want to hear about SPORTS! I have to turn the station off more often than not when your on one of your rants.
WEEI fire his bigoted ass so I can listen to your station on the way to work.

Clearly another example of rooting for laundry. In this case the laundry has the letters GOP stitched on the front.

I swear if a red-horned man carrying a pitchfork was wearing one of these pieces of laundry, D&C would go on air each morning and tell you that Satan got a bad rap. (Wait a minute, do they say that about Scott Boras already?)

Four hours with commercials/sports flashes/headlines/buzzer beaters/cross over time

Their show is probably not even 2 hours with all that goes into a radio broadcast on a giant like WEEI.

I really like Callahan because he entertains me. I disagree with everything he says but I like to listen because it entertains me along with my morning drive.

The biggest problem I have, as with many of you, is when they go on these political rants. Sometimes it’s entertaining but other times it’s I’m republican, therefore I’m right, you’re an idiot, and democrats are going to take over the country and turn it into a terrorist state. I’ll never forget that interview when Schilling came on after going to an Anne Coulter debate with Bill Maher and Schilling/Callahan were like two schoolgirls chuckling how great Anne Coulter was. When I see a guy who honestly admires Anne Coulter, republican or not, you have some screwed up ideology issues.

I wouldn’t mind his hardcore Republican stance if he wasn’t such a hypocrite about it. He gets all bent out of shape when anyone bashes President Bush, saying it is unfair when people blame W for all the country’s problems. And then in the very next breath, he says everything bad is the Democrats’ fault! It’s no coincidence the show was excellent during the few months he was gone last summer. He sucks.

Again, my problem with Callahan isn’t it that I disagree with his politics or his views on sports. My problem with him is the contempt that he, Dennis and Meter heap on everyone who is an actual fan of a New England sports team. He thinks he’s better than all of us because people listen to his radio show and he does a crappy job of hiding his attitude. His incessant whining about Belichick, games that start late and liberals is merely the icing on the cake.
I could also go the rest of the my life without hearing he and GolfBoy prattle on about their golf games (or Holley and his fantasy football team, when it comes down to it). It’s really not something anyone is interested in.
Callahan’s only saving virtue is that he’s still better than Dennis and Meterperel. Which is kind of like being the world’s tallest midget.

“If you get into a debate with Callahan on air, you will have to fight to win”

you’re kidding, right?….fight to win?…PUH-LEESE…everytime Callahan senses a caller is getting the best of him he just starts SHOUTING LOUDER AND LOUDER and surprise,surprise, he always gets in the last word.

A lot of people seem to hate him, but I love listening to the show. As soon as you learn to embrace his personality and his strong opinions, you should too. I’m not a fan of sterile radio hosts that are afraid to venture outside of stat-reciting or playing the fence. If you get into a debate with Callahan on air, you will have to fight to win, and that’s why I like to listen. I like the fact that he’s a loudmouth, and that he attacks a lot of callers and people in the news – and he does it consistently. I like to listen to that, and many times I agree with where he’s coming from.

People as evil-minded as Callahan usually pay a price in some form or another for the vile they spew. He will deserve it. Disapprove!
