[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Well that was close. Almost went a full 24 hours without one of the same three posters complaining about Kirk Minihane.

Who was Fred just going off about this morning? I caught the rant after it started so am clueless who he is ranting about.

Kirk Minihane. Fred is obsessed with him.

 

[BiggioRainesHOF]

He's been awesome ever since joining 98.5.

Agreed, he's really good.

From what I can gather, it was Minihane, and playing the percentages it was well deserved and temporarily glorious. But the unfortunate reality is, it just provides Minihane the attention he craves.

Apparently Fred requires a wake up call from one of the producers. Pathetic. You're a grown man, Fred.

I listened to that segment and thought Fred was joking at first, but he was legit pissed off at his producer for not calling to make sure he woke up in time for work.

Rich seems like a super nice, genuine, down to Earth guy.

Fred seems like a massive douche at times.

The one time I met Fred he was incredibly nice and gracious. Very friendly.

I'll echo this statement.

I ran into Fred one night at Citizen Publick House behind Fenway a few years ago with his wife. Said hi, and had a quick conversation. Wasn't annoyed to have to talk, gracious like you said.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

In the least shocking news ever, WEEI and Minehan specifically are going after Ty Anderson now that he's no longer working for them.

That station really just needs to fire everyone and start over. The culture is terrible.

And at the same time Gerry fawning all over Britt McHenry, who seems like a despicable human being to me in my limited exposure to her.

"fired because I'm white"

Hysterical.

That’s good to hear. I’ve always liked him but seems like he’s taken on more of a character recently

 

[Dr Quincy]

For what it's worth, in my one social run in with Minihane he was pretty cool. And I've said before, but I went to high school with Maz. Graduated the same year, in a few classes together.

 

[Gee Wally]

Mattyports was a real good poster here back in the day.
Glad to see him get the gig.

 

[EverettMike]

At the first Pats Superbowl rally, when they still had actual rallies, I had one of the best conversations about sports in my life with Tony Mazz. Talked about the recent history/failures of Boston sports for like thirty minutes, and he told me some great stories about the '86 Celts.

Said McHale once told him if they had wanted to they wouldn't have lost a game. Obviously not how it works, but crazy to think McHale felt that way.

Oh.

 

[Fenway]

Oh.

@HockeyMomx2 - Word is Entercom will soon be sending K&C to KFXX 1080 from 3 AM to 6 AM your time.

Gee, such a bummer I'll sleep through it daily

Best move for K&C was removing all the daily third person

They became a side show for Kirk

I actually liked when they had Tanguay on. I liked the back and forth that would ensue.

 

[EverettMike]

Bill Speros, a.k.a. the Obnoxious Boston Fan, is maybe the most detestable member of the Boston sports media, which is really saying something.
