OT: Official Sports Media Thread V - Tim Neverett will not return to the Red Sox radio broadcast team

[Fenway]

Why didn’t entercom consider keeping 98.5 when they brought cbs radio they chould of still had some of the radio network of stations if they did along with a better signal

The DOJ said they had to divest one of the Boston sports stations and since Entercom also owned the Providence signal they elected to sell 98.5.

Entercom made a crafty move trading WBZ-FM for WMJX and cash. There is chatter that they will move WEEI to 103.3 and move WODS to 93.7.

93.7 starts having problems south of 128 but Providence covers.

Dose entercom plan on makeing Weei Am all cbs sports radio after there agreement with 98.5 expires to avoid paying espn

I cant imagine anyone doing this for a ratings ploy. I didnt hear Minihane today, but Fred on 98.5 has been pretty open with his own struggles with depression and anxiety. His message was positive about it taking time and effort to find right therapist and meds if needed, but keep trying and it will eventually help and can live happier life. I'm hoping Kirk has same outlook.

In the last 48 hours I have heard family and friends question Minehane believing he would do anything for ratings and obsessed with the show.

I think he’s a world class schmuk and nothing he would do would suprise me.

I would have enjoyed hearing him dump on the Red Sos with Larry Lucchino in power but I know he wouldn’t. He knows Sam Kennedy is a nice guy and Kirk goes after these people.

The more I step away from this the more I think he’s an insecure troubled person and ratings did factor in

He is talented and edgy and quick if Barstool is an option I think that would be an option - the problem he could encounter is a lot of his show involves creating drama and taking shots at coworkers who won’t return fire - these guys will

Ultimate bully and Bullies characteristic includes insecurity

interview with brady on WEEI today, really hope K&C can just handle it with professionalism instead of the usual gotcha questions and agenda nonsense we've heard over the past year.

If Minehan did that in order to get ratings then he’s straight up trash.

That is the kind of shit that keeps people from not only speaking up and getting help but also keeping the stigma around mental health alive and well.

I really hope this wasn’t a ratings stunt and if it was, shame on everyone involved.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Brady not coming on today, can't say I'm shocked, must think of WEEI like ESPN now, wow they really blew it with the GOAT

NM he is coming on, hope this goes well, please just keep it professional

To what "gotcha" questions are you referring to? When they interview Brady it is pretty straight forward to me when Callahan isn't kissing his ass.

Just his ass?

I will say you deserve a job at K&C, never seen such a loyal listener with custom WEEI blinders on.

He’s a piece of GARBAGE

He lost me when he had Ty Anderson on and tried to lose him like a prop caring 2 shits about his career and him.

The losers that tell Kirk he’s brave crack me up - sheep

‘Oh Kirk, your so brave’

He’s a fraud - there is nothing this guy wouldn’t do for ratings

Um he shit all over Trenni and made fun of Curtis alcoholism

Minehane I hate more by the day

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

How about just answer the question which was genuine and an actual criticism of them. I don't hear gotcha questions. Callahan is the biggest Brady cheerleader out there.

If you don't see the toxic relationship with Brady and the media the past year I can't help you. You seem to be one of those guys that says when it is sunny outside that you need more proof of it being sunny

The rest of the media I will agree with you, ESPN is at the top of the list. But again, how is that include the morning show interview?

His last appearance he hung up on the morning show

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

His last appearance he hung up on the morning show

That was because of comments made by Alex Reimer during another show. What gotcha questions does the show ask?

 

[ON3M4N]

His last appearance he hung up on the morning show

Was that when one of the host called his daughter an "annoying little pissant"

 

[KrejciMVP]

He still hung up on minihane that day and Tomase was on the show too. Reimer wasn't even on the broadcast that day

Yes, we know, because of Alex Reimer comments on another show.

[BNHL]

You state that you turned it off 2 years ago and you post this now today with this strong emotional post.

I suggest you just forget about him and enjoy life.

Haven't listened to one show that I can recall,and I miss it,but he ruined it for me,so I'm bitter. I'm also connected to Callahan on Twitter and am subjected to Minihane trash a lot. I'll tune in again after Minihane kills himself for ratings.

Thats a narrative but I think it was frustration from a lot of negative Brady press last year and minihane quarterbacked a lot of that

Quoted for truth.

And yeah his bosses need a swift boot up the ass if it turns out this was a ratings ploy & they went along with it. I'm serious people need to be fired if this is what happened.

I believe @Fenway would know better but if he did it for ratings he picked the worst time for it.

 

[MattFromFranklin]

The only negative thing I can recall was the statement made by that punk, Alex Reimer, who somehow still has a job at WEEI.
