98.5 The Sports Hub and Barstool Sports should stay on good terms

98.5 The Sports Hub and Barstool Sports should stay on good terms

Posted by | Aug 11, 2019 |

As promised, this is a follow up article to the one I wrote Friday. Earlier this week, Ty Anderson of 98.5 The Sports Hub went on Marina Molnar of Barstool Sports podcast titled, Marina’s Morning Skate. The two discussed the Boston Bruins off-season goals that still need to be resolved. This was a very insightful podcast done by two people who know and care about what Bruins fans want to hear. However, this podcast could lead to more 98.5 and Barstool content in the future. This is certainly not the first time 98.5 and Barstool have done work together....

Ty Anderson covers all things Boston Bruins for 98.5 The Sports Hub. Marina Molnar follows the Bruins for Barstool Sports. Earlier this week, Anderson was the first guess on Molnar’s podcast, Marina’s Morning Skate. They had an interesting conversation about the Bruins’ off-season goals. The show started with both recapping how they still feel frustrated and disappointed with the Bruins Game 7 loss. Then Molnar transitioned to the contract negotiations of Brandon Carlo and Charlie McAvoy.  Anderson and Molnar both believe the Bruins and McAvoy should agree to a bridge deal. Molnar mentioned that since McAvoy has had injury...

“I never imagined playing one year of pro football” Tom Brady tells Willie McGinest

Posted by | Jul 27, 2019 | ,

At the News England Patriots training camp, NFL Network analyst Willie McGinest talked to Tom Brady. McGinest: “I mean, as athletes, we like to have our nucleus around us and we like to have a certain amount of talented guys. Gronk’s not here anymore. I mean, a big part of this team, this offense, for a long time. You guys had a lot of success together.” “Does it become tougher losing that type of talent and then waiting for guys to maybe take the next step, or seeing how you gonna go in and game plan without guys like...

Kirk Minihane had an eventful first month at Barstool Sports. In 22 episodes Minihane has introduced himself to Stoolies around the world.

Gerry Callahan posts a 10 tweet thread about leaving WEEI

Posted by | Jul 17, 2019 |

At around 10 o’clock last night, Gerry Callahan sent out 10 consecutive tweets about leaving WEEI, thanking specific people, and what played a big role in his departure. “1) Well, if I had known I was gonna be this popular, I would have gotten my ass fired a long time ago. Can’t complain though: 35 years in radio, newspapers and magazines and my first time getting the axe. I’m just glad they gave me the last seven weeks of the summer off.”  “2) If anyone from Entercom management had called, I would have thanked them. Maybe tomorrow. I wish...

Media members comment on Gerry Callahan leaving WEEI

Posted by | Jul 14, 2019 |

Former and current Boston personalities gave their thoughts on Gerry Callahan’s exit from WEEI. Kirk Minihane, Callahan’s former WEEI co-host, was very opinionated on Callahan’s departure. His first tweet was, “This is all on Entercom. They let Bob Murchison call the shots. A Disgrace. Shameful. I’ve been unfair to Gerry the last few months for sure — misplaced anger. This is just bulls**t.” (Future articles to come about what all this means.) John Dennis, Callahan’s first full time co-host on WEEI, tweeted, “When Gerry and I were good, we were very good. Loved sharing Boston’s amazing events w/ALL of...

Gerry Callahan has been a fixture on Boston air waves since 1997. For over 20 years now, fans and critics alike have heard his opinion all over New England. Callahan and his morning show often set the dialogue for the city of Boston. Today, he announced Friday was his final show on 93.7 WEEI.  “Well, that was fun,” Callahan tweeted. “After 20 years in morning drive, I did my last show at WEEI this morning. Thanks to all who listened. Unfortunately, this ain’t a movie. Sometimes the bad guys win. Much more to come.” Callahan’s current co-host Mike “Mut”...

Rest of MLB, take note of how Tigers handled delay

Rest of MLB, take note of how Tigers handled delay

Posted by | Jul 7, 2019 | ,

I was originally going to rip the Detroit Tigers and the rest of Major League Baseball. The Red Sox and Tigers still played after a 4 hour pre-game rain delay on Saturday. That left me baffled and frustrated. How could an MLB team make their fans pick between two undesirable options? On one hand, a fan could choose to head home after paying for their ticket, wasting their money. The other option is waiting in the park for the game to start, which might not even be played that day. Having their loyal fans make that choice is nothing...

Torey Krug appears to take shot at Kyrie Irving on Twitter

Posted by | Jul 4, 2019 | ,

On Sunday Torey Krug went to social media to point out past quotes by Kyrie Irving. Krug quote tweeted the now infamous Irving statement before this season with the Thinking Emoji and No Mouth Emoji. “If you guys will have me back,” Irving said to Celtic season ticket holders , “I plan on re-signing here next summer.”  Now, on the surface, this was a simple reaction that many people had at the time. Krug was certainly not the only one to bring up this quote and wonder what had changed for Irving since October. The more interesting part is...

Tom Brady Takes Jab at Max Kellerman’s Infamous “Cliff” Comment

Posted by | Jun 27, 2019 | ,

“Tom Brady’s just about done,” said ESPN’s First Take co-host Max Kellerman on July 28th, 2016. “It could be his next game he plays, it could be a year from now. But he is going to fall off a cliff.” Kellerman would then complete this infamous rant by adding, “Tom Brady is going to be a bum in short order.”  We are just a month away from reaching the third year anniversary of this proclamation. In the first year after Kelerman’s remark, Brady did not have a memorable year. He only won the Super Bowl and MVP of the...

Red Sox need to take advantage of upcoming stretch

Red Sox need to take advantage of upcoming stretch

Posted by | Jun 24, 2019 | , ,

Christian Vazquez capped an exciting comeback with an extra inning walk off homer on Friday night. The Sox managed to erase a 5-1 deficit to beat the Toronto Blue Jays when Chris Sale did not have his best stuff. One would hope this exciting victory could jump start the Sox into a series win. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The Red Sox then proceeded to have a really bad weekend. They lost two out of three at home to a Blue Jays team that was 27-48 going into this series. The bullpen blew a 6-1 lead on Saturday....
