I switched to satellite radio and couldn’t be happier. There is now no reason to EVER turn on WEEI again, save for a Celtics/Red Sox game. I feel like I’ve dumped an abusive girlfriend.

The biggest mistake they made is when they jettisoned Eddie Andleman they kept Glen Ordway.

They then compounded the mistake by re-upping the ass hat this year.

You don’t realize how good midday is until Ordway isn’t on.

Lew and Mike are dreadful. There, now someone else has said it. We have three teams in this town that have won championships in the last ten years, and these guys have nothing better to talk about than the failures of each team’s management and players. Belichick can’t draft (!), the Red Sox won’t pay for free agents (Texiera), and, early this year, the Big Three was now the Big Two because Ray Allen was washed up. These guys are so much smarter than anyone in sports management in this town, you wonder why they’re not sending out Bill Belichick for coffee. And then they make those “the fans are so stupid” comments that just keep listeners coming back for more, right? F you, dude, I can turn the radio off any time I want. I don’t need to hear the penis ads anyway.

Jon:

At no point in my post did I advocate the Herald…they suck as much as the Globe. The fact that Tomasse still has a job boggles my mind. My larger point was for 12 (starting in 1996) years the Globe has had 2 irrational behaviors…one is the anti-WEEi crusade and the other is being anti-Patriots. I find it interesting that rather than bury the hatchet and start cross promoting with clearly the largest sports information format in the region the Globe continues to try and fight/dismiss WEEI’s success. Glen and Dale have for years on their respective shows said that they would welcome the opportunity to interject with Globe personalities. This is clearly a one way feud. It just has little common sense behind it and evidently no financial will to challenge it.

One thing the Globe’s actions did do was give Sean McAdam and Tom E. Curran a solid platform to expand their readerships while they were with the Projo. Being a quality WEEI rotation host increases visibility incredibly. Based on that WEEI management realized they could profitable expand the brand to Providence and eventually all over NE…marginalizing the Globe as the regions premier sports source even further.

I think you’re right.

I know that Lobel was on the radio way back when, and I also remember Upton Bell and Guy Manilla too.

Maybe Santos guest-hosted the show every now and then and that’s why I thought he was the full-time host.

I was curious to see how they would handle Finn’s article so I listen to most of the “Big Show”…..They basicly talked about it for the whole 4 hours, of course alot of it was done with a mocking tone. still, they gave Finn alot of publicity. as they say in the media game there is no such thing as bad pub, so Finn must be pretty happy.
