The Big Show had Pete Sheppard call in at 5:30 this afternoon to (rather clumsily) announce that he would be hosting a show from noon to 3:00 pm this Sunday, leading into the Celtics/Lakers pregame. Further shows were not mentioned, though Sheppard in a Tweet afterwards says he is "back" with the station, so future … Continue reading Pete Sheppard Returns To WEEI On Sunday

Back on the Big Show as Flash Guy, taking out Adams? Weekend shows? Patriots-related programming? (Post game show, etc) Overnights?

They went to shorter commercial breaks. They became an ESPN Radio affiliate. They simulcast Dennis and Callahan on NESN. They cut down on the political talk in the morning. They tried hooking up with El Presidente of Barstool Sports in an attempt to be "hipper." They replaced Dale and Holley with Mutt and Lou. They … Continue reading What Is WEEI’s Next Move?
First posted from TheBigLead: [blackbirdpie id="177057075447336961"] [blackbirdpie id="177057287368736770"] I got a quick confirmation from Rapoport on this one, who said that while he "hates leaving the Herald," he "couldn't pass this opportunity up, and moving to Dallas will be awesome."

They're dazzled by his bunt drills in spring training. They love that he's making David Ortiz play some first base. They love the alcohol in the clubhouse … Continue reading Bobby V. Continues To Dazzle Boston Media

According to Tom E Curran of CSNNE.com, that disparity extends to business coverage of the two franchises as well. Business rules different for Red … Continue reading Curran, CSNNE Fire Shot at Globe Business Coverage of Red Sox, Patriots
Kevin Garnett has been playing well of late, (in the month of February - 11 games - he averaged 17.6 ppg and 10.8 rpg) and last night submitted another vintage performance with 25 points and 10 rebounds as the Celtics held on for a 102-96 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Rajon Rondo, who ESPN says … Continue reading Vintage KG Performance Lifts Celtics
While I admit that I am skeptical of the Bobby Valentine experiment, and can't say that I was a huge fan of his hiring, I think it's going a little too far to proclaim him the next Rex Ryan, as I've heard several times already.
