Say what you want about Tanguay and Minihane, but they did a great job bringing some facts to the table and exposing all of the Green Teamers that called in this morning.

Just like the Lego movie, everything is awesome.

I get taking a flier on a guy, but usually it's a guy with high upside and something like character issues or a specific hole in his game. You don't make a reach for a guy that in all best case scenarios tops out as a bottom 6 grinder/PK specialist. You sign those stiffs as free agents for short dough because the league is littered with them.

Sometimes the Bruins should be like the Patriots. The more they say the worse things get blown out of proportion.

The Patriots also trade down before making picks that are out of left field. People (including myself) criticize Bill for making very strange picks, but at least he trades down and picks up some other assets.

That's an argument for another day.

Jones said it was a red flag for Bogaerts to ask for a day off..he also said he was off a few weeks ago...I heard on the broadcast tonight he'd played in 58 straight..Jones is terrible, as is J-Stew whos quickly making that show unlistenable at times with his agendas and being more of a voice then Murray half the time

Nobody is stopping him from giving opinions. He does it for the reaction anyway, so there you go. My reaction is it's a stupid opinion.

I think you misunderstood my post. I was shocked that he actually gave an opinion. I'll admit that I don't really listen to him anymore, but when I did, all he would do is just repeat questions and give 2 possible outcomes whenever he was asked to give his take on a sports issue.

Not sure if I'm in the minority or not, but I kinda enjoy Danny Picard on the radio. The content is pretty solid and knowledgeable

He's fairly knowledgeable, but I can't get past duh fact dat duh guy doesn't have duh "Th" sound in his vocabulary.

Drives me ******* insane any time I listen for more den a few minutes.

Tanguay walked out of the studio on D&C today when he found out that he was working the full week next week. It's been a while since they've had someone walk out, although I think this time it might have been real as opposed to being staged.
