OT: Official Sports Media Thread V - Tim Neverett will not return to the Red Sox radio broadcast team

[mikelvl]

The thing that bothers me most about Kirk and his problems (other than he only wants to talk about himself) is that if he has someone in his crosshairs, he attacks them ruthlessly. And if the target of his attacks were to have similar emotional issues that he claims to be dealing with, then his actions could go a long way in putting that person in a very bad place that could be dangerous to his/her health. So for him to treat people like that, and then cry wolf, is very hypocritical to me at the very least.

Devil's advocate here: what if he's not crying wolf and does have serious mental health issues?

I mean, does anyone think that anyone who acts like he does is stable?

I think a lot of people here are spinning their wheels trying to diagnose a guy who we don't know, but probably is very sick. We're often trying to use rational thought, from a rational perspective to discuss irrational behaviors.

(Myself included as I obviously am not a doctor and don't know him. I'm just surmising based on my experience in the field)

That guy is trying to get fired. I'm convinced of it. But I don't know why.

 

[DKH]

he makes the show very uncomfortable to listen to, really hope they rethink brining him back. More sports talk and less Kirk drama is what WEEI needs

I’ve probably heard every Brady interview on WEEI and he had become very guarded with Minehane. With Gerry and Mut he’s more open and engaging.

Minehane is a narcissist. He’s got issues true but that day he took the leave still pissed about Brady changing the interview to the following day after Kirk drove down from Maine, he went off on Brady and his Tom vs Time. I’m 100% confident he caught hell for that and it was suggested he take a couple of months and decompress.

It’s always about Kirk. Not Brady. Not the Red Sox. Kirk

 

[sarge88]

Unraveling.

This isn't going to end well...hopefully only professionally.

I knew that would be his last Brady interview. He's just not professional enough to handle that role. He's a liability to Boston sports teams

What Minehan is doing only perpetuates the stigma around people suffering from mental health issues.

It feels like nothing more than another one of his antention seeing stunts.

Mental Health isn’t a god damn game.

Get off Twitter Kirk and actually get some damn help.

 

[Fenway]

Kirk should focus on the fact the morning show is doing well without him. Management certainly has.

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

I’m convinced Kirk wants to get fired so he can finally go to Barstool.

I'm not necessarily disputing that he has mental health issues. It's just that I would expect him to be a little more conscientious of his behavior and treatment of people given his own apparent struggles. He tries to destroy people that anger him.

The fact that he's been tweeting about his gripes with management the entire time he's supposedly been getting help for mental health issues makes be believe it's all an act. Guy is insufferable. He's simply playing a game for some odd reason, and the only person that knows why is him.

Day 2 Radio.com has shut off Canada from WEEI. Its horrible

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

There is ton of stuff I can’t get out of Canada that I would love. That pesky other country stuff

Radio isnt TV though. Should be available as Montreal sports radio is available to all hab fans in the USA. 98.5 works fine but I'm not really into their show

Can you download the WEEI app and stream it live from that?

i actually still have the old app downloaded on my phone but it only rebroadcasts a statement saying to download the radio.com app which says not available in Canada on the google app store. I've been going straight to WEEI.com and clicking the 93.7 link which was working perfectly on my desktop until yesterday. Really hoping it's a temporary glitch...

Interesting.

I don’t recall hearing anything about any type of dispute.

Hope it’s resoved soon.

I was referring to radio as well. Some are more strict as others like the examples you gave

Bingo!!!!

 

[DangleCity]

2-6 show just lost about 60% of their material after tonights game

now if only Callahan would take a few months vacation as well

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

A quicker solution for you is to change the channel

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Kirk and Callahan was actually listenable today driving in...granted its because Lenny Clarke is on and going full Lenny Clarke

Even Lenny can't make me listen to Reimer.

Then the 10-2 show had Tomase on, so I didn't listen to that one either.

Cora on now and as usual, he's really good.
