disapprove because of his partnership with 2 crooks [deossie,smerlas] whose police charity gives a whopping 15% to the families of officers killed in the line of duty.currently this charity is being investigated by the massachusetts attorney general.prison stripes aren’t slimming “big-o”.

FUNNY THAT EVEN WITH A 50-50 RATING THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE POSTS ARE NEGATIVE. CONCLUSION…

This is a toughie. He has done great work in the past and is the show is much less interesting when he is out. However, the shout fest that is the afternoon show is very difficult to listen to and Ordway insists on repeating points even after their made assuming that if he says them long and loud enough, everyone will just agree with him.

Disapprove despite the contributions he has made. Makes 6 figures but gets free TVs, cars and sports tickets for just being who he is and acts entitled.

The WEEI afternoon and morning show hosts have no connect with their listeners.

I look at Glen like the clown who founded ‘Girls Gone Wild.’ On one hand, you recognize him as the ‘Class Amoeba’ thanks to his near-zero IQ. But on the other hand, you recognize him as a genius for doing something we all wish we had done. On balance, I give a very ‘limp-wristed’ APPROVE to this amoeba.

I find the program (and the radio station) mainly unlistenable. But Ordway is a brilliant broadcaster. He knows his target; he knows how to milk the audience to stick around just a little bit longer; the pace of the program is always moving forward rather than letting discussions die out and degenerate into dead-hoss-beating; he has a professional sense of how far he can go with bad taste for the sake of ratings without stepping over to the ever-moving line; he knows how to touch hot buttons and who to use to touch them; and he does a good job keeping his cast from sounding like a complete amateur hour. He also has people believing the schtick and actually taking sides on personalities. He’s a radio genius. Unlistenable program but the host has created a monster that routinely flicks away and buries would-be challengers.

Under certain conditions when he’s not screaming like a jackass, he can be an ok host. But this is the guy who:
1) brought us the &&%$%# Whiner Line, the equivalent of pig crap on a silver platter.
2) Brought EEI the “innovation” of the abrupt cut-away to save “valuable” programming time. So now, instead of listening to Glenn szy “we’ll be right back”, we have more time to listen to the laughs and guffaws of the Idiot Roudtable. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve switched to EEI during drive time and heard nothing but mindless laughter or an entire herd of jackasses, all yelling at the same time. (WHO THE F*** is in chage of that trainwreck these days? Are they listening?)
3) Few have done more than Glenn and his lame posse to create the culture of ignorance and arrogance

Someone claimed he’s a nice guy and hopefully there’s something to that, but you would never suspect that when you listen to him. He’s arrogant, pompous and aside from the loyaly he has for his guys, doesn’t seem very considerate at all.

To me, one tell tale sign of this is that, with his many years of experience with the soap gig, the great Celtic teams of the 80s, Johnny Most, early 80’s Sports Radio, you would think he’d have a story or two wouldn’t you? Not this guy, he’s too good for any of us.

does anybody have an smidgen of a doubt that if any one “caller” called up one year ago and proposed on-air the EXACT same trade for either Ray Allen or KG to K.D. Ordway, he would have brushed it aside & dismissed the caller for being an idiot??
