Glad to hear other people are fed up with D&C. I think their “commentary” leading up to the presidential election reached a new nadir. I have gradually tuned in less and less to the point where I finally decided to boycott these two hateful disgraces and emailed Jason Wolfe, an email I’m sure he trashed.

The Big Schmo and his cohorts aren’t a whole lot better. These guys know absolutely nothing about politics but still try to break it down. It’s so bad.

I have a feeling D&C are in the middle of a slow fade in the ratings. I don’t think any left-leaning sports fan, or moderate for that matter, should give these guys an audience. On the plus side, it’s clear the country has become fed up with their ilk, so maybe they are all doing us a favor.

So there’s some good news for everyone: D&C will be off the EEI airwaves within four years!

And AOB, I’m with ya on sticking to the games and shying away from the constant analysis by the getting-dumber-by-the-minute Boston sports media (at least a large majority of them, anyway). I think it will take awhile for EEI to really feel a ratings shock, but I have to think their popularity has already peaked.

I agree. I’ve given up on the morning show, for many reasons that I won’t go into here. The Big Show has lost me as well. The talking over each other is finally too much to take, as well as the wannabe political pundits offering their take on the imminent communist takeover of our county. I turned to Dale and Holly last week because that is where I formally tuned in, knowing that I could hear sports. But when Dale decided to chime in and give his gloom-and-doom take on the “inexperienced” president-elect… Enough already! There are plenty of options if I want to listen to politics; WEEI surely isn’t one of them. It appears that they are slowing losing their narcissistic status as a viable option for sports as well.

yes, I agree. I hardly listen to these guys anymore but on the rare occasion I do and they are talking sports I find myself wishing they would talk politics.

I think I have more of a problem with their take on sports than I do with their politics. There’s nothing the two of them can say that is even half as stupid as the nonsense pouring from Finneran (on the left) and Howie the Hostage (on the right) on WRKO, a more useless station than WEEI will ever be.
It’s the sports that drives me away. Their whining about late games and “running up the score” and their refusal to NOT compare everything to golf is horrendous. John Dennis’s constant drive to get people kicked off the Red Sox is beyond contempt and no one at the station is more of an idiot contrarian than Meter. Their political drivel is merely the icing on the cake.

I was thinking the same thing….with Obama in office it’s just a matter of time before either Dennis or Callahan slips up again, just a matter of time…

Like most everyone else who’s commented here, I love sports. I love listening to intelligent conversation between people who know the subject, particularly when there is legitimate give and take between them. I think my college age daughter had just been born the last time the previous statement applied to D & C.
If I wanted political talk, there are lots of options available to me. And then I’d be listening to people who have a point of view that goes beyond “liberals are lazy slugs who just want to live off the public dole”.
I’ve stopped listening to ‘EEI in the morning and if things don’t change soon, I’ll stop in the afternoon as well.

When Mike Marcello left the sales team at WEEI, that’s when ad revenues started slipping. The worst is yet to come.

Everyone can take comfort in a rather simple equation: Ad revenues will continue to fall; so too will listenership. This means pink slips for some of the on-air talent we despise. Some of them (Mustard & Johnson) have already been terminated. And proof of the fact that these people have zero talent? None of them have resurfaced anywhere.

I blame JASON WOLFE what a napoleonic little man with no scrupels. Its all his doing & he could stop the monsense. His choices for RKO are even worse! What a clown he really is!! he rode the coat-tails of being in THE greatest sports city in america!
