Thnaks AOB. I read the approval ratings over the summer and wondered what exactly was meant by storylines. Yeah, it’s the stupid, usually off-field stuff, that get’s rehashed every ten minutes on a sports radio show. Pretty much what I thought.

….typical of todays sports media….I’m not saying it isn’t a story,HOWEVER….for the most part, Boston College sports gets TOTALLY IGNORED in this area (especialy by WEEI) and now it’s the “Jagodzinski/DeFilippo Show” 24/7……OH THOSE STORYLINES!!….they are so much more interesting than THE GAMES themselves,don’t ya think?….SEE: Spygate, Manny being Manny, the Theo/Luccino Feud, Belichick’s handshake etiquette…etc…etc..etc..

I’m from Hartford and about a year and a half ago WEEI started retransmitting from somewhere in the Springfield area and I’ve been able to pick it up since then. I gave it a listen for a while and didn’t really care for it. And I’m their target audience. I listen to ESPN Radio often and I root for the Red Sox and Celtics. I listened to ‘EEI a bit over the vacation and enjoyed it for the first time in ages. Then the regular hosts came back…

Bill Burt’s low moment came when he reported the death of Keith Ryan on his blog on something he “heard in the press room” at the Super Bowl. Not only did he not know the deceased’s name, but was wrong with where he had died. Disgusting.

Felger was in rare BC-bashing form on Comcast Sportsnet last night over this whole Coach Jags thing. I know he’s a BU guy and by nature he hates all things BC, but really, it’s not very professional to bring your college hockey rivalry emotions to your workplace with you, especially when your job is in the media.

As for Bill Burt, he lost me when he blamed Pedro for the Game 7 loss in the ‘03 ALCS and gave Grady Gump a free pass. I haven’t listened to or read a word he’s said (or written) since then, because that article convinced me that he’s an idiot.

A competent Athletic Director would have put it in writing.

Both personally and professionally, DeFillipo is strictly small-time.

Bill Burt solidified is uselessness years ago with the column on pre-recorded, months-old appearance of Jerome Bettis on the Late Show. You’re telling me there wasn’t one context clue in that entire appearance that The Bus wasn’t live (or at least taped that week)? Idiot.

And that’s why he, “…is a very special part of the WEEI “Magic”. Tool…

They have contracts because the coach wants to get paid if he doesn’t leave and the school wants to lay out his responsibilities as coach. In any employment contract, the employee can always walk away. The courts cannot force an individual to work for somebody else and it is difficult to otherwise quantify damages. What employees do is put in certain penalties or restrictions for an employee who walks out on a contract (do-no-compete, etc). Recently, schools have been including buyouts in coaches contracts, so that if the coach does leave he (or some nice alum of the new school) has to pay a few million to the school.

Bill Burt continues to be the most useless writer on the planet….

The league stinks because a couple of playoff teams didn’t win ten games?

Wins are sometimes determined by one bounce, a random play or in San Diego’s case, a terrible call by the refs.

This guy really gets paid to write? hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
