Steve and Fred insinuated that Buckley was yag and they did it in a very crude, disgusting manner.

Yet it was all a manufactured feud dreamed up by Entercom executives. And Buckley accepts deep personal insults because it is all a big script. At least according to AOB.

Do people actually listen to WEEI anyway?

SIRIUS RADIO baby . . .

If the ‘snide insinuations’ are what I think they are then the yukking it up is an attempt to keep a good front and bury what had been previously said so listeners will forget they ever heard it in the first place.

I can only speculate on all this because Rick has not spelled out what the insinuations are and I did not actually hear them said on the air.

well, they certainly don’t take too seriously, because about 2 days after Smerlas and Deossie said those “nasty things” about Buckley, all 3 of them were on the BIG SHOW together and they were yucking it up and acting like best buddies…..either Buckley has no pride at all or it’s a a big act….I’ll go with ACT

When a co-host embarrasses his partner by citing facts and showing that he is objectively wrong as well as being ill prepared, there is no “manufactured feud.” When DeOssie and Smerlas do everything but say outright “Buckley is a ###”, there is no “manufactured feud”, unless you want to believe that Buckley allows himself to be called the most personal and insulting epithets.

I find it interesting that some of the most vehement attackers of WEEI fall into the same patterns that they accuse the station of. They claim that the station manufactures controversy and go by a script. Nothing is genuine and this is the lazy way out. It is a simple narrative for these attackers and they never have to change it. Just reflexively blast anything WEEI.

I liked listening to Felger last week and the F&S soundbite was something I heard flipping through the dials. But in general, I don’t like WEEI. But to reduce everything down to “It’s all a manufactured feud” is as simple minded as most of the talk you hear from the station.

I’m almost willing to bet that McAdam opting for less than half of the Sunday morning baseball shows with Adams was his choice, despite passing up on some easy pay.

Mutnansky’s first name is Mike, so why not simply go with Mike and the Brad-dog?

Agree with ya on the Stearns/Felger swap Sunday mornings, AOB. It’s even quasi-possible that with Nelson, Perrillo and Curran surrounding Felger he’ll stay on topic and keep the show moving along…dare I say it could be an entertaining pregame? It’ll at least be a better alternative to the BCN team of Tanguay/Gresh/Borges/et al.

This best news is the departure of Red Sox Baseball show. However, in prior years Baseball show was pushed to Sat. to make room for football show. Buckley is such a boor. I especially can not stand this seasons alternation of Buckley and McAdams. It seems Buckley gets more than his fair share of turns. McAdams provides tons more analysis of current events compared to Buckley’s stories of crap that happen decades ago.

…Felger can be annoying as hell, but he’ll still be a much better host for the Football Show compared to Butch Sterns, even though it was the FOOTBALL show you could tell Sterns was dying to talk about the Red Sox……BUH-BYE Sterns…..BUH-BYE

“The WEEI.com Radio Show?” How about Mut and the Brad-dog
