Questions Chad Finn Left Unanswered

Earlier this week Chad Finn wrote an article skewering sports radio, WEEI. Of course I wrote something similar six months ago, but I don’t have the Boston.com platform from which to proselytize. I was, however, offered space at this blog, and humbled, I jumped at it.

Here is my submission- http://www.pinkhathell.com/2008/08/dirty-jobs-weei-listener.html

If you don't listen to WEEI, well, good for you. Also though, most of this will not make any sense. And if it seems mean? Thgen you definitely haven't listened to AM850. Anyway, yesterday Chad had a live chat regarding his article and he answered one of my questions. I submitted many- I found myself, disturbingly, with time on my hands…lots of time. Here are the questions he chose NOT to answer- I can’t imagine why.

If you had to rank the weekday shows on WEEI from first to worst, isn’t Pete Sheppard still a douche?

Speaking of sports, what’s your favorite sports movie ever to be shown- drive-in style, on Gerry Callahan’s forehead?

Is it true that a night time host named “Mikey” has a very different idea of what “loving” an animal is than the MSPCA?

Pop quiz hot shot- You wash up on a desert island, stark naked. The only other inhabitant is a morning show co-host (Dennis, Denillo, Denitton- whatever). He’s been living on nothing but Cialis laced brownies for a month. The only clothing options you find are a full Manny Ramirez uniform and an off the shoulder Donna Karan evening gown- which do you choose? WHICH DO YOU CHOOSE???

Do you think when Julie “Crying Game” Kahn drops by the station to “inspect the equipment,” reciprocity expected by the on air staff and that accounts for the lack of turn-over in talent?

How many nights a week do you think John Dennis cries himself to sleep? Its gotta be five right?

They say a hundred monkeys banging away on a hundred typewriters will eventually come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. This is false, I know, because so far all those monkeys have come up with is Butch Stearns blog…Your thoughts?

I’m certainly jealous of the people who work for WEEI. I mean, could you image working for a guy like Jason Wolfe? And how about all those opportunities to take sensitivity training over and over and over and over and over and over….again. Your thoughts?

I believe Dale Arnold blushes every time he says Albert Pujols name correctly. Like, “Let’s take a look at Pooh-Holes *blush*, er…I mean, at his numbers.” Right?

When Dennis or Callahan get off a particularly smarmy line do you think they high-five or smack each other on the ass? This is pretty easy to figure out…

There may have been a few more but these are the ones I remember. What does it all mean? Not much beyond the fact that we should never, never listen to WEEI. I think we can all agree that those dimwitted radio “guys” don’t represent any real sense of the Boston fandom. Just my opinion.

Blind Item

Which WEEI weeknight sports talker was recently the target of a sweep by animal control officers? Sources close to the investigation revealed that at least a dozen small animals were removed from the host's home. "It was heartbreaking. I've been in this business for over twenty years and thought I had seen everything. But for as long as I live, I'll never forget that poor goose, dressed in a Manny Ramirez jersey."

Breaking News

Sources reveal to Pink Hat Hell that WEEI's Mike Adams, host of Planet Mikey, has been having sexual relations with domestic pets for the past seven years.



"While I have no concrete evidence, Adams' behavior and overall demeanor exhibits all the tendencies of those found in domestic pet abusers" our source wrote. "While some may think the constant sniffling is related to substance abuse, the truth is that Mikey is allergic to cats. Sadly, he is unable to stay away from them. We're genuinely concerned for his health and well-being."

We're working to confirm this story but as for now, we'll just have to speculate as to what Mikey is doing behind closed doors with his Schnauzer. Because if there's one thing we've learned from listening to Planet Mikey, it's that you need absolutely no evidence to back up your claims and can spend hours trashing a career based on absolutely nothing other than wild speculation.

That being said, would you trust this man with your Yorkie?

You know what? I just realized that blogging about an attention whore is giving the whore attention.

Never mind.
