Do a car salesman and talk show caller that buy their air time actually qualify as media members?
John, why so bitter? it’s sports not Meet The Press. Consider pottery, it will take most of your stress load down.
I don’t know that John’s comment sounded all that bitter…actually, for the Internet, it was pretty understated…it was barely snide.
Will, is there a reason for your quick defense of whoever he was talking about?
Why is Mike Adams discredited as a media member because he sold cars prior to EEI?
He’s not. He’s discredited because he’s a moron.
No soup for Ronnie.
Too bad Shank Shaughnessy and Glenn Ordway don’t go elsewhere, preferably 3,000 miles away.

Hilarious.
What about Captain Obvious?
He didn’t really make any changes, still working the old job up in NH M-F.
Horrigan probably got the best deal out of all of them.
Sons running legit restaurant review business>Alliances with shady boxing people>Sports Huddle>Glen Ordway’s Enormous Gunt>1510 the Zone.
Gunt, you forgot >Return to something barely resembling Sports Huddle at WTKK-96.9FM (where the sons running the legit restaurant review business also have a radio show)
Tina Cervasio NESN > New York
Paul Flannery Boston Mag. > WEEI.com
Jessica Camerato Hoopsworld.com > WEEI.com
Those last two are new to me, thanks!
I look forward to seeing this one some day…..
Dan Shaughnessy – Boston Globe > unemployment > grave
Why are you downplaying the WEEI Celtics hires? They’re not even on this list and Scott’s Shots had them burried!
Wasn’t “downplaying” them – I actually wasn’t aware of them yet. Sorry.
The best move in years was getting rid of the hideous Mustard and Johnson show. The Putrid Preacher hasn’t been on the Big Show in about a month either. I seriously doubt if Mustard will ever be heard from again.
Add Bob Neumeier and you’d have a path looking like a pretzel. That guy is shameless, and apparently proud of it.
Since Danny Picard is also a WEEI employee, and has a strong radio background, it would have been nice if the thick headed WEEI.com staff gave him a chance as a Bruins beat guy instead of letting him be the Bruins beat guy for the new Boston Globe run OT magazine. This kid is young and he is an upcoming talent, when you have somebody like that right under your own wing, you shouldn’t let him willingly go to the competitor. They could have used Haggerty as another Red Sox guy. Bradford is already a general sports guy for weei.com and that only leaves Speier on the Red Sox beat.
Lew & Mike is unlistenable. The “I’m outraged” schtick is painful. No need to shout into the microphone, moron, we can hear you.
A two hour show on whether the Red Sox players were irresponsible for drinking after clinching ended the “Lew and Mike Show” experiment for me. Other factors included voices made for print and one of them’s reflexive Theo bashing.
