John- Congratulations. That was the best impersonation of one of those nitwits who thinks they're Howie Carr I've ever read.
Did you mistake this for the Herald comments section?

If EEI really wanted to make money they should only have two 4 hour shows. One for the morning drive and the afternoon drive without commercials. Then sell the rest of the shifts(Dale and Holley, Plant Drug Dealer) for commercials.

How come you didn't do Planet Mikey? It's the best show on WEEI. You probably wouldn't know that since you're a loser.

I bet 100 bucks this asshole is another MA liberal weenie who doesn't like WEEI because its run by TRUE AMERICANS and not a bunch of communists. Who the fuck is Buzz Byrne? I bet he's a Barack HUSSEIN Obama fan who supports fascist regimes and fairness doctrines. Callahan and Dennis should run for president.

well done, thanks for doing the painful and dirty work so others don't have to. I second the sentiment from someone earlier about a similar log from a day's listen to 'FAN. Mike and the(recently departed) Mad Dog were exactly what I was looking for in an all-sports radio station: informed hosts who truly liked sports and were enthusiastic about discussing & debating them.

what a brilliant reference to Judge Smails.

Melissa, you forgot the random ellipses that suggest the meat of your argument is so . . . obvious . . . there's no point rehashing it for . . . everyone.

Then again, maybe mouth-breathers just type like they talk.

Just because he had cancer it doesn't mean he's any less of a douche. And from the little I've heard, Gerry can take care of himself in an argument- even if it's just mocking the other side with his whiny baby voice. They teach that tactic in debate classes now, you know.

It looks like Buzz has caused a bit of an uproar over at WEEI. The funny thing is he doesn't try to deny the success of the station. All he really does (in a devastatingly effective way) is chronicle who they are and what they're about. And when that mirror was turned inward, the lashing out was as predictably pathetic as it was inevitable. They are who they are, no matter how much they don't

"WEEI is the highest rated sports radio station in the COUNTRY" - isn't that like being the world's tallest midget?

Anon. also neglects to mention that WEEI has a fraction of the actual number of listeners of WFAN, which is why Mike and the Mad Dog made so much more $ than the Morning Klan at EEI. Keep crowing about the ratings though. Make sure to keep us up to date on the page views

"WEEI is IN POWER"

This is funny on so many levels. Bro, you work for a fucking radio station. You're one poor quarter away from running the air freshener dispenser at a car wash. I think everyone here fully acknowledges that sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. What else are you ruling the world on besides that? It must be that shiny new web presence, stuffed with hacks and

I love the PEOPLE who randomly capitalize WORDS to make their POINT. I haven't listened to WEEI in any SIGNIFICANT amount of time in about 2 YEARS. Yet, for the occasional few minutes I turn it on, SOME DOUCHEBAG is yelling about some contrived storyline or on any given weekend, PSEUDO-CELEBRITY Yankee callers are given a forum. Keep commenting all you want, Entercom employees, you're working

.....Here's a thought...don't like WEEI?....THEN DON'T LISTEN.....bottomline is: WEEI'S ratings are FANTASTIC...of course 99% of the people who comment on this blog say, "I HAVEN'T LISTENED TO WEEI IN YEARS!!!".....give me a break with that crap...YOU know YOU listen, then you complain......people always love to complain about who is in power and make no mistake about it, WEEI is IN POWER

RR -
Kevin = Pete would make sense: AWG and monosyllabic. Except that it was posted at 3:17, where Pete was in the Big Chair bemoaning the fact that the Yankees aren't putting up much of a fight or somesuch. Callahan writes better than he speaks (a low bar, but ...) so maybe it's just one of his Droogies.

P.S. It would be interesting to see the traffic from Entercom ISP addresses,

Yes, what a brilliant article What is doesn't mention is that WEEI is the highest rated sports radio station in the COUNTRY. They are obviously doing something right. You are writing a blog for some website that 10 people a day visit and they have the largest sports radio audinece in the nation. Hmmm.

If only ten people a day visit this site, why is

Anon;

What should you want in sports radio? Listen to WFAN for a day. I love the Sox and the Pats, but I'll listen to that station over WEEI every time.

Between the fact that they actually talk SPORTS, you never have a 10 minute straight stretch of commercials, and the hosts seem to put the effort in to be knowledgable about what they are talking about...it is head and

Kevin, you poor offended soul...

As far as I can tell, you and Callahan are the two remaining people on this planet who employ "punk" as an insult. For the rest of the world, "punk" means Ramones, Iggy, the Sex Pistols, the Clash and an entire cultural movement from 1977. Thirty years ago.
But if throwing around such well-constructed bon mots as "Pedro the Punk" (a favorite of your
