Not sure we'll know for a while. I'd expect the next time he might be on could be around or on draft day. I'd love it if he became history. He'd be better suited on WFAN with Porky Francessa so they could co-fellate their beloved Giants.

More the reason to fire Ordway as the man in charge if so. I wish Glen no ill will and took no joy in his dismissal. Incompetence. His job was to drive ratings. Sticking with someone who alienated an albeit small segment of a rapidly dwindling listeners was a bad management move. Even if you're close to someone personally, if they really screw the pooch damaging the business they need to be let go.

Did anyone catch the Big Show today?
Personally it seemed to me at least that the show was flat and bland...

For me, nothing with Minihane is bland. I really like him and I'm a Holley fan. So, for me, the show was great. Now, tomorrow I believe it's Pete Sheppard with Holley. Not sure I'll last long with Pete...

I think that they tanked... I wonder what the ratings were.

I love Pete Sheppard; he is fierce defending the Patriots from the douches who call and want to do stupid things like trade Brady or cut Welker...

Ordway’s salary dips with ratings - The Boston Globe
He should have got rid of the pink faced idiot who really wants to be in NY. The few times I clicked on, and they actually weren't talking about the soap opera that is the MLB, and I heard that bafoons voice, click right back to 98.5. And I know I wasn't the only one.

Pete is cool. He just hangs up on callers he doesn't like or that aren't making sense. I like that.

I think you may give Ordway too much credit. Ordway, DeOssie, and Smerlas are business partners and co-hosts on NESN. He had his own personal interests to keeping DeOssie on the air beyond just his loyalty to the guy.

Personally I think it was a huge mistake firing Ordway; I think that the show will tank but that is just my opinion; others feel otherwise. We shall see... I think that WEEI fired the wrong guy; they should have fired Wolfe; he has been playing shuffleboard with peoples lives on that show instead of improving content. He is like so many obnoxious middle managers I have worked for; always changing org charts and firing people instead of making real improvements.

One way to improve content is to sober up Mikey Adams and get him to prepare for shows. Mikey is tremendously talented (great Irish accent for instance) but he comes into each show with nothing prepared and no scripts or skits.

Talented? The only thing he knows anything about is the 1960s Red Sox. His lack of football knowledge is astounding. He can't even tell you which NFL teams are in which conference. His "humor" might work for 13-year-old boys, but that's about it. That guy needs to go.
