Wow. Spiegel's lack of self awareness is quite a thing. Rogue, you are 100% correct. Gonna listen to this tomorrow at work.

That twitter shit is telling. Meat just can't wait to respond with something that I'm sure in his mind is some ultimate burn when it just makes him look even worse. Let it breathe, you don't have to spew some shit ASAP to try and save yourself. Take your time, while I doubt he'd ever come up with a good retort his chances are much better if he steps away for bit to calm the fuck down.

And who cares if they play sound? That's a GOOD thing


There's something wrong with Spiegel

Mac used to have a bit called web polls around America



"Its Sports radio, bro!"


I like these Boston guys

This would be a great time for Mac to stop by and give us his thoughts about this whole deal.

It bothers me that I listened to the entire thing. What bothers me more is that the Boston guys are clearly douches, but the Chicago guy sounded like a bigger douche. The replaying of Jay's call proves it. It wasn't funny or interesting. It was a producer doing his job. It gave a couple of trolling knobs legitimacy. Just all bad.

Yea, I think that's being overlooked since we get to hear Spiegel's terrible sensitivity everyday. Those Boston guys are just as big overly sensitive fucksticks. I only listened to the first 5ish minutes. To get offended with Fenway being called a dump or McGuire being made fun of screams princesses bitches. And they're just as invested in bitchy twitter fighting by responding to Spiegel.

I disagree.

Yes, they are slightly douches, but not close to the level of Spiegel and he stated this whole thing. Playing another sports show clip is very common. Spiegel blindsided them with his nonsense.

They pretty much HAD to respond to Spiegel. He made it seem like they were stealing material.



Interestingly enough, a guy called in later talking about how he lived in Chicago and Danny Mac is a good guy who can drink for days.

The host said "well, if he has a problem he has a problem nothing to make fun of"

Obviously the caller wasnt aware Mac was sober but the radio guy was (did his homework)


But yeah replaying Zawaski was stupid and the Jeff from Medford bit is terrible.

I think you can glean a lot from what sports radio is to those guys by the fake call they came up with

"Boston fans are talkin trash"

What?

Yeah. Playing at the major leagues in any capacity is WAY better than being in a tribute band.

So you think Merloni thinks he had a great career? Im pretty sure hes well aware that he wasnt very good but was still better than 99.9 % of the people who play baseball and was good enough to play at the highest level which he has every right to be proud of. Bad comparison. Stick to bad hockey thoughts, seems to be your forte.

I think he is proud of his career and would take offense at any review of his stats, similar to the way Jiggs did with football.

I have almost no hockey thoughts.

Lou Merloni 9 yrs/ 1223 PA / .716 career OPS

Kenny Williams 6 yrs/ 1253 PA / .608 OPS career

it's amazing how long they stick with guys in the majors. It's like once a guy gets a season in in the majors, they let em stick around just because rather than meriting a roster spot.

Utility infielder with a .271 career batting average, played parts of 9 seasons in the majors and didnt come up until age 27. Id say thats pretty good for a 4th infielder. Why not be proud of that? Especially when compared to a singer in a cover band. Its not even close.

I just listened to this. Spiegel came off terribly, obviously. Sucks for Mac that he kept getting grouped in with Spiegs - "THESE guys are whiny, over sensitive, etc"

:lol: @ Mac asking for a food recommendation in the middle of everyone trying to have their pissing match.

I think WEEI was and still seems to retain a bit of the old score, which I like. However, they cannot claim that the stuff they were doing wasn't hacky radio stchtick. I agree with their assessment that it might be fun for a couple of minutes, but they seemed to indicate this is a regular part of their show whenver a Boston team is in the playoffs. That is programming from as far back as I have been listening to radio.
