It is hardly surprising in this day and age of sports shock talk that hosts attempting to bring attention to themselves would attack the most revered Red Sox player of the last 30 years. Yesterday and this morning, both 98.5 FM (Felger and Mazz) and WEEI (Kirk Minihane) made, at the very least, strong suggestions … Continue reading Boston Radio Hosts Accuse Pedro Martinez of Steroid Use
Five Years Of 98.5 The SportsHub – How The Landscape Has Changed.
Five years ago, WEEI was still riding high. They had stomped attempts to challenge them in the forms of 1510 the Zone and ESPN590. In February of that year, Chad Finn wrote a column for the Boston Globe OT that was eerily prescient in what it had to say about WEEI and its future. Maybe … Continue reading Five Years Of 98.5 The SportsHub – How The Landscape Has Changed.
Painful Night In Landover for Patriots, Viewers
The Patriots looked bad last night against the Redskins, and none worse than Ryan Mallett who struggled his way to a 5-12, 55 yard performance. I think that only in New England does the media use the backup quarterback as a way to make snide remarks about the coach. The last few days have been … Continue reading Painful Night In Landover for Patriots, Viewers

The Triumphant Return of Kirk Minihane, Take 2.
Kirk Minihane returned to the WEEI airwaves this morning off of his one-week suspension. His return was considerably more low-key than his previous return. Probably a prudent move. With Gerry Callahan out this morning, Minihane was sitting in the number two seat, and John Dennis joked that when he is out, Minihane will likely sit … Continue reading The Triumphant Return of Kirk Minihane, Take 2.
Red Sox Keep Media Busy on Trade Deadline Day
For the second time in three seasons Ben Cherington gutted his Red Sox squad in the middle of the season. The Sox GM made four trades yesterday, sending out Jon Lester, Johnny Gomes, John Lackey, Andrew Miller and Stephen Drew off of the major league roster.

It’s Wall to Wall Jon Lester as Trade Deadline Approaches
As tomorrow's MLB trade deadline approaches, most people seem convinced that the Red Sox will trade lefty Jon Lester, rather than sign him to an extension. It's hard to believe that it has come to this, but here we are. Tim Britton of the Providence Journal has a post with all the coverage his paper … Continue reading It’s Wall to Wall Jon Lester as Trade Deadline Approaches
Kirk Minihane Suspended For One Week Over Andrews Comments
Entercom and WEEI suspended morning co-host Kirk Minihane for a week, but only after pressure from FOX, which informed Entercom that it was pulling all sports and entertainment advertising off of the company's airwaves. That includes ALL stations, not just WEEI. FOX talent will also not be appearing on any WEEI program. It was only after that … Continue reading Kirk Minihane Suspended For One Week Over Andrews Comments
NESN Dump of D&C has nothing NOTHING to do w recent events. TRULY.
Make no mistake. John Dennis, Gerry Callahan and Kirk Minihane are absolutely loving every bit of attention they are getting from Minihane's Erin Andrews comments. Their bosses are as well. Either that, or management is afraid to take action against their highest-rated show. They keep adding on to it so that they can keep themselves … Continue reading NESN Dump of D&C has nothing NOTHING to do w recent events. TRULY.
Embattled Kirk Minihane Vows Not To Change
Kirk Minihane made his triumphant return from vacation to the WEEI airwaves this morning, and while he acknowledged his apology to Erin Andrews, he and his co-hosts also struck back at "panderers" and others who had been critical of them. He vowed not to change his style. He also offered this further thought on Andrews. … Continue reading Embattled Kirk Minihane Vows Not To Change
