NBCSN tried to get rid of him but his dumb buddy had to bail him out with a “job”.

As @Fenway said in the OT thread: We're aware of the Orr stuff.
We cannot allow the discussion here due to the political nature of it.

My bad, for some reason I thought the Bruins owned most of NESN, but its actually the Garden I think. Won't miss anything else that NESN has. Baseball games are way too long now. Charlie Moore? pfffft.

The unprecedented year of 2020 is almost over but data released Wednesday by BIA Advisory Services provides a radio scorecard for what’s now a distant memory – 2019. WTOP was radio’s top billing station in 2019 for a fifth consecutive year, billing $69.8 million, nearly $1 million more than the Hubbard all-news dynamo took in during 2018. Once again WTOP surpassed stations in much larger markets with bigger revenue bases. KIIS-FM, iHeartMedia’s Los Angeles CHR, repeated its second place finish with $59.9 million, just short of the $61 million it raked in during 2018. The influential pop station last topped the BIA list in 2014 and has been second to WTOP ever since.
In fact all of 2019’s top billers were the same as in 2018 – and in the exact same order – with the exception of a newcomer at No. 10.
Holding steady in third place is iHeartMedia hot AC “104.3 My FM” KBIG Los Angeles, with 2019 revenues of $45.2 million, consistent with its $46 million in 2018. iHeartMedia AC “Lite FM” WLTW New York ($44 million) is in fourth place, followed by clustermate CHR “Z100” WHTZ ($42 million) with identical revenues and rank positions from 2018.
Entercom sports “The Fan” WFAN-AM/FM New York remains in sixth year-over-year, posting 2019 revenues of $41.4 million, a hair less than $41.5 million in 2018. Entercom news WINS New York is seventh with $40.3 million in 2019 revenues, followed by New York news sister WCBS ($39.2 million) and Entercom news WBBM Chicago ($39 million). Revenues at the four Entercom spoken word stations are essentially unchanged from 2018.
The only new entrant on the list is Beasley Media Group’s “98.5 The Sports Hub” WBZ-FM Boston, which entered at No. 10 with 2019 billings of $37.0 million, displacing iHeartMedia news/talk KFI Los Angeles, which ranked 10th in 2018 with $35 million in revenue.

Same here. I remember being in high school in '86 and standing in line to get Sox playoff tickets. Tank was trying to do a live update and some jackass around the corner kept unplugging a cord of some sort. He let out a string of profanities like I've never heard before.
Kyle Draper, who brought an energetic approach to NBC Sports Boston’s Celtics studio programming the past seven seasons, is leaving to become a play-by-play announcer and host for the Sacramento Kings.
The Kings announced Draper’s hiring Monday afternoon. He will be the Kings’ additional play-by-play announcer. Longtime ESPN voice Mark Jones was recently named the team’s primary play-by-play voice. Draper will handle the play-by-play duties alongside analyst Doug Christie when Jones is on assignment for ESPN.

A lot of memories with Mike Shalin going back to Winter Haven.
RIP Amigo
Mike Shalin, a gregarious fixture at Fenway Park first as a baseball writer and then as the Red Sox’ official scorer, has died at age 66. He had been battling brain cancer for several months.
Shalin covered the Yankees for the New York Post and then the Red Sox for the Boston Herald from 1980-2005. Since leaving the Herald, he had been the official scorer at Fenway Park.
A passionate baseball fan with a sharp sense of humor, he was a popular and welcoming figure in the Fenway press box.
Shalin, who also wrote for United Press International in the late 1970s before joining the Post, wrote several baseball books, including “Out by a Step: The 100 Best Players Not in the Baseball Hall of Fame” and “The Hometown Team: Four Decades of Boston Red Sox Photography,” with photographer Steve Babineau.
News of Shalin’s death brought countless tributes on social media from friends in the Boston media and beyond, including Keith Olbermann, Kenny Albert, and Michael Kay.

Mike's a good guy. Very sad to see this happen to him and his family. I last met up with him in summer 2019 when he was promoting his book about the Sox. Great, dry sense of humor. He will be missed.
