You have a point: as dumb as the hosts are, the callers seem to be on the same wavelength, which is kind of pathetic when you think about it.

Is anyone currently broadcasting on WEEI even as remotely as stupid as Jim the Wrestling Goon, Angry Bill, Dakota, et al?

Good job outta you! Funniest thing I’ve seen on here since Bruce’s view of the D & C 10 years from now…

(Speaking of the Putt Putt Twins, I think Toucher and Rich moving to the morning shift is going to errode their ratings. Just a hunch. Maybe WBCN can lure them over to their station once Chili Guy loans them 18 mill-billion eights)

WEEI’s radio ratings and revenues have shown a significant decline over the past year since they lost the Sox broadcast from their line-up. (from 6 to 4.5)
Can’t speak to how well the WEEI website is doing (personally I find it lacking major content and/or tough analysis of the locals/definitely NOT a must visit daily website at this point) but if they’re reaching out to a Schilling that would indicate they’re in search of a “buzz”. Don’t see Schilling having much of an impact at all either on the station or with the blog. There’s only so many ex-Red Sox mates Curt can rip on to make some headlines for himself. And does anyone really care what Schilling has to say about anything else?

Give Curt a break, he had all his eggs in the McCain/Palin basket…. he even had business cards printed up:

Curt Schilling
Secretary of Offense

He’s gotta make a living…can’t steal 8mil this year from the Sox.

Live Blogging is in for a treat with “Curt in the Car.” Welcome to the jungle.

White males between the ages of 25 and 50 are WEEI’s target audience. I applod WEEI for being a voice in the wilderness for a segment of the population that has been shut out of the manestream media and has had their acsess to positions of power and influence in our society fringed upon. THe media is liberal. Just take a listen to your radio dial. There’s Michale Gram and Jay Sevrin and Howie Carr, Those three are almost more liberal than Mow Se Dung. We need vigelants in these times and if Fred, STeve, the Big O, and my two favorites John and Jerry are the ones that have to give us the cold truth then so be it. It’s their burden to bare.

I’m excited by Curt’s new role on WEEI hopefully he’ll bring his long track record of integredy and truth and be a voice of opposition in the new landscape we live under.

I don’t think they ever have. That’s one of my pet peeves. When Boston sports fans are judged by the WACK JOBS that call into WEEI…..and when you think about it, what kind of person hangs the phone FOR HOURS (unless your one of the regulars) just to get talked over, cut off, interupted, be talked down to, and have your opinion mocked??

I’ll never forget this one poor sap that called in. He made the big mistake of telling Dale, “JEEZE, I’ve been waiting for hours!!”….The guy uttered 2 more words and Dale cuts him off with, “TODAYS TRIPLE PLAY WINNER IS….”….Then hung up on the guy………….

well, that would be fine if, “Schill-Dog” were to ONLY talk/blog about PITCHING….but I’m sure WEEI expects him to do more than that. Bottomline?….he’ll just end up being another blowhard spouting off on topics he knows NOTHING about…….I do agree when you say, “Who cares?” though. The Boston Sports Media is just a bunch of noise pollution that disapperars into the air

Who cares about this crap? … the economy is in the crapper; who has time to listen to these blowhards … At least, Schill-Dog played the game and knows what it takes.
