I've recently moved back to the area and wondered how a dipshite like Callahan got on the air. He's not very smart or insightful about any topic, sports or politics. Their commentary has the effect of making me take the opposite side of any topic they support. i like Beckett now, i want them to keep Lackey and I'm glad Theo and Tito are gone.

Too bad. Callahan is a smart, humorous guy. Unfortunately, his humor is malicious. At least Dennis is an equal opportunity satirist. But poor Callahan allows his political and social philosophies to get the better of him. When this occurs, he becomes a cross between Rev. Falwell and Don Rickles.

Callahan!! When I hear his voice on radio I immediately turn to another station. If the goal is to rile up people and get them at each others throats… he is the guy to do it. His political rantings and baiting approach is disgusting. When I saw just recently that this "pinhead" was going to ruin television too I was totally amazed. I guess we now know what the tv execs. want. We have enough polarizing politicos in government… now we need to see a sports guy show his totally embarass himself and his network as he tries to bait people on TV into arguments ?
Very disappointing.

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.
