For anyone here to pretend that the "talent" on WEEI knows anything more than the average New England sports fan is ridiculous. Actually, my neighbors have forgotten more about sports than anyone at WEEI will EVER know. But, of course, THE RATINGS! THE RATINGS! Please.

Its sort of a Ying-Yang thing they have going. If the site continues to sensaionalize, Ordway will probably interpret that as "the voice of the dumbass fan" and spend his all air time enlightening us. Should make for some great radio.

People do it in business and their personal lives every day. It is relevant and it is news-worthy. Although we might not like the message, why go out of our way to shoot the messenger and call this type of reporting irresponsible? It is perfectly responsible to report what could happen if the worst comes to pass. The same was done with Ben Roethlisberger. It was not iressponsible then, and it is not irresponsible now.

THEN we can get hysterical...or not. It's a roll of the dice for the 'screamers,' because they either get boiled in Lard for their hysteria or get to trumpet that 'They were there first!' Either way, it makes me despise the sports media cabal even more than I do now. I think we just need to wait through the winter and see what his situation is by next spring.

The more hits, the more advertising $$$. From what I've heard, the site hasn't been getting the traffic it thought, coupled with advertising dollars down, they are coming out with outrageous articles so people go to the site to see what's going on. All I know is this: Big Startup $$$ - Downward Advertising = BIG LOSS! With the recent cutbacks and money issues with Entercom, WEEI is trying anything to get people to come to its site.

That's too bad. I thought the site might try to become more of an information destination with humor and/or sensationalism sprinkled about, but I guess they'd rather sprinkle the facts and intelligent sports thought onto their big heaping pile of ignorant excrement.
