The Planet Mikey show is no more. Effective immediately. WEEI removes longtime host Mike Adams from evening program - Finn. A Phil Zachary quote in that article reads: “As you know, WEEI has extensively–and successfully–revamped every major weekday show over the last three years. The time is right to extend that thinking to nights.” Two of … Continue reading WEEI Commits Mundicide

...The more they stay the same. Especially in the Boston sports media. After years of trashing "Pedro the punk," Manny Ramirez's lack of hustle, David Ortiz's annual requests for a new contact, the sports radio airwaves have a new Dominican target: Hanley Ramirez, who has been a steady topic on the WEEI mid-day show. For … Continue reading The More Things Change…

I only bring this up because, if … Continue reading The Blocklist – Thursday on BSMW

I was sure this was a hoax. Nope. We created logos for 10 NFL stars What, no switch logo for Adrian Peterson? No Adderall bottle for the Legion of Boom? How come the Von Miller one doesn't somehow show him bribing an NFL drug tester? How about some play on how the stars in the … Continue reading ESPN Unveils New Tom Brady Logo

No, not Jackie Bradley Jr, who unfortunately had his hitting streak snapped at 29 games last night. I don't really mean Xander Bogaerts, who increased his streak to 19 games last night. Clay Buchholz's streak of lousy performances however, is alive and well. Also alive and well is the ability of sports radio hosts to make … Continue reading The Streak Continues

So here's my question: If Roger Goodell is "really not focused" on the Tom Brady appeal and he "didn’t see the report" from Congress on the NFL interfering with the concussion study, what exactly has he been doing? https://vine.co/v/i9qp0lKtx3m Furthermore, if he "didn’t see the report," (he said it TWICE) how was he able to … Continue reading My Question

Catching up following a recent sojourn to Jamaica... I like the new formatting for the Boston Globe sports articles. It's a nice, clean, easy to read look. In a time when  web pages are cramming as much as possible onto a page, it's nice to be able to see something like this. HOW BOSTON CAUGHT … Continue reading Tuesday Quick Hits

I realize that Upton Bell has not been relevant for at least 25 years, perhaps he was never relevant, but some Tweets he put out last night really sum up the hotsportztakes movement in a microcosm. https://twitter.com/uptonbell/status/730794741445627904 The Red Sox had won 4 in a row heading into last night's game, were atop the division … Continue reading For Whom The Bell Tolls

Catching up on a couple things from the last week or so... ESPN made four correct personnel moves in one day? Moving Sean McDonough to the play-by-play voice of Monday Night Football. (Reportedly) Not bringing back Cris "Fall Guy" Carter and Ray "White Suit" Lewis. Adding Randy Moss to NFL Countdown. What is happening?  Mike Ditka … Continue reading Wednesday Quickie
