Middle of the week and time for some links for you. Lots of good stuff today. Let’s start with the Dennis & Callahan contract situation. Notice I’m no longer putting the lockout, holdout, whatever it is in the headline. Jessica Heslam of the Boston Herald writes in her Messenger blog that D & C did […]

If you saw it in the Boston Herald this morning, the ad by WEEI with the juxtaposed heads of Dennis & Callahan made you wonder if they’re indeed coming back or if this “lockout” is indeed a publicity stunt. I admit I’m growing more cynical by the day. Anyway, David Scott of Boston Sports Media […]

Lots of stuff to give you. First, Michael Vick has agreed to a plea agreement and possible prison time. The Feds had recommended he serve 18 – 36 months in a Federal penitentiary, but Vick’s attorneys wanted that reduced to under a year. According to CNN, he’s expected to plead guilty at U.S. District Court […]

I forgot to post Videos of the Week! Well, since NFL season is coming up, that means we’ll be blessed or forced to listen to certain announcers. I’ve found that CBS’ crew for the AFC has been quite enjoyable since it returned to the NFL in 1998. Jim Nantz is ok, but guys like Greg […]

It’s Monday, August 20 and our friends, John Dennis & Gerry Callahan are still out from WEEI, termed a “vacation” by the station’s public relations firm. Sitting in for D & C today were FSN New England’s Greg Dickerson and Fox 25’s Butch Sterns. And it was the first Patriots Monday for the station. Dickerson […]

Jim Williams of the DC/Baltimore Examiner in his Watch This! blog has […]

Day 5 of the WEEI/Dennis & Callahan lockout. It appears that there’s no end in sight to this. Over at Boston Sports Media Watch, David Scott says WEEI’s parent company, Entercom has trumped John Dennis & Gerry Callahan and their options are for the most part, limited except for a return to WEEI. Jessica Heslam […]
