I’d rather listen to the Schmooze discuss the Metropolitans, Knickerbockers, and Icelanders on the FAN than Mikey. I’m just saying he’s not alone with his Manny obsession. The early morning Golf Twins are just as bad…

Does anyone else find Adams unlistenable after a few minutes? I really would love some good sports talk at night but i am not getting it with HIM!

Mike Adams’ obsession with Manny is twisted. But what’s the excuse of the rest of the people on WEEI? And the callers? Where do they find some of these idiots?

Adams is extremely knowledgeable on baseball AOB, just that it’s mostly about stuff from the 1960′s through the early 90′s. That’s when his mind must’ve gone blank. Once he became a TV host he didn’t need to know anything else.

Besides, he’ll blame all the Manny talk on the callers who keep bringing up the subject, or whether he’ll find a new Sox player to hate.

But the topics are caller driven, so say the hosts. I’m sure they’re only talking about Manny because someone called in and mentioned his name.

Perhaps the caller was speaking of Delcarmen and the bullpen?

…It’s the only think Adams (sort of) knows anything about…think of it, have you ever heard Mike Adams talk about the Patriots for more than 10 seconds?…how about the Celtics?…the Bruins? (LOL)…How about OTHER teams, he seems to know some Yankees, but I bet Adams can’t name you 4 Tampa Bay Rays…..his mind is a COMPLETE BLANK other than…MANNY…YANKEES…MANNY…YANKEES…MANNY.. YANKEES….face it, he’s not a very knowledgeable guys..

It’s sad the way WEEI hosts are obsessed with Manny Ramirez. Sad.

And annoying . . .

Carl Soderberg has a contract, it’s just that he’s chosen to stay in Sweden to play this season. At least that’s his decision for now, because he said he would be coming to camp a few months ago.

John Powers on the Olympics is like Gammons or Kurjian on baseball (or Kevin Bacon at the end of Animal House).

I attended the last game of the 1993 season when the Patriots beat the Dolphins in overtime. Instead of an immediate mass exodus from (then) Foxboro Stadium, I remember how all the fans stood in that stadium for a good 10-15 minutes after the game, thinking it might be the final NFL game ever played in New England. It was probably the second most surreal moment in Foxboro history, only topped by Vinatieri’s snow kicks nearly a decade later.

Robert Kraft might have saved the Patriots from moving to St. Louis, but it was James Busch Orthwein who had something for Kraft to save. As a lifelong Pats fan I won’t soon forget Orthwein’s part in transforming a disrespected football franchise into one of the top teams in all of professional sports. RIP JBO.
