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

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

I think he’s easily more a dummy then a racist

This is my take as well. He is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. This is where intent applies

It was pretty egregious.

I thought this was completely overblown. As Dan and Donnie said, Fauria can be dumb, but I don’t think he’s a racist.

I’m not sure if you heard the actual exchange, he wasn’t disparaging Don Yee imo (who speaks without an accent). He was disparaging Ron Borges for being stupid and falling for the prank.

Personally, I would file this one under insensitive and not very bright before racist.



ps Fauria recently took part in a panel at the AAJA (Asian American Journalists Association):

Hardly. Word gets used to easily these days. Just a dummy, and he owned up to it.

Christian Fauria is a racist?

When did that happen?

When he attributed a really horrible stereotypical Asian accent to Tom Brady's agent because his last name is Yee.

Like it or not, this is the world we live in today. You cannot do something like that on a talk sports show now. Simple as that.

Im not defending Fauria, but I’m pretty sure that at some point playing with Brady he met and talked to Don Yee and knows he doesn’t have that accent. It was in bad taste.

Hello all, I am looking for a thread regarding internet based solutions for watching the Bruins. Today I cut the comcast cable cord; they still provide internet. Thank You.

Edit
I found this link. It reccomends FuboTV, I am leaning towards YouTube TV due to the quality that several users have mentioned. Both options seem to support NBC Sports as well covering the games which are not local.
Live Stream NESN: Watch Red Sox, Bruins without cable

Please let me know if you are doing any of this and what you reccomend I consider. Nothing matters except the Bruins, the News and NFL football. My daughters may disagree.

Last year NESN streamed games on their website, but I remember the feed sometimes being 10 minute behind.

I would recommend YouTube TV over FuboTV, FuboTV's biggest down fall is they don't have ESPN/ABC or MNF which would cost you some NFL games.

Quick side note YouTubeTV does not have the NFL Network so you will miss a small amount of Thursday night games that are not on FOX. Only provider that has NESN/ESPN/NFL Network would be PSVue.

Also your profile mentions Southeastern Massachusetts, are you in Bristol county? If so you are not eligible for Boston locals on any streaming service which may be a issue and a whole other topic.

Hardy running a show is a trainwreck.

Hardy running a show is a trainwreck.

Yeah not good.

He struggles running a show where they jump around to multiple topics. His golf show is good because he sticks (obviously) to one topic.

Plymouth County. Hopefully no issues there.

Last year was nice because he was not around that much.

Ray Bourque singles off of Tim Wakefield. Nifty was on hand as well. The game was played in memory of longtime Herald Bruins writer Steve Harris.

It sucks that he's coming BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK

Plymouth County is in the Boston DMA so you will get all the Boston locals that the various services offer.

I used to actually like Sports center, waaaaaay back in the 90s. Then most of the anchors got full of themselves and it degraded from there.

Bonus Charlie Steiner clip with a cameo by Jack.

Speaking of ESPN, Bob Ley is taking a few months off to "recharge".

Add in some Robin Roberts and that was my morning all through elementary school.
