His buddy Ordway tried to compare it with Bruschi being on ESPN as an analyst and sitting in Kraft's box for the AFCCG. That analogy only works if Bruschi played for the Giants, lives in the tri-state area, works on the Giants post-game shows, pregame shows, does a radio interview every Monday with Coughlin on WFAN, does a mid-week Giants tailgating show and is a regular on WFAN doing Giants' analysis. Bruschi is none of those things. It was a feeble attempt by Ordway to defend his buddy and by WEEI to protect their brand. DeOssie sounded every bit the politician trying to cover his ass and even his apology wasn't really an apology. It was more in line with, I'm not sorry I did it, I'm really sorry I got caught. By all acounts, DeOssie is a clean recovering alcoholic and coke addict. At least, if he happened to be loaded when this happened, he'd have a semi-excuse. But, he wasn't and he doesn't. All of his local employers just want this to go away, but that shouldn't happen. His comments were insulting to all Pats fans, players and the entire region he claims to "love" when he talks to WEEI, but claims to "struggle with" when he speaks in NY. Fraud.
Even tried the Gisele analogy. Glen's an idiot. But I think he's a little ascared his buddy indeed crossed the line. Thing is it's not about him being a Giants fan or fan of his kid's team. It's about him mocking us to regain stature with his Giants audience. He says the Mara's helped him through a tough time. I guess the Cowboys who drafted him were mere enablers. The Giants also let him go, and he bounced to the JETS before landing here with Bill and Bill again - who likely had a lot more to do with his even getting a job with the Giants than the Mara's who likely hardly knew who the long snapper was. And his limited skillset aside, he doesn't win a ring as a Giant if not for the DC whose game plan is in the HOF. And he doesn't get a shot at breaking in to Boston radio if not for the last Kraft owned team he played for and the HS and college teams he played for in the city whose projects he grew up in... He owes a lot of people besides the Mara's for his ring and his salvation and his post football career. All of them NE connections. From the old Sunday Sports Page radio show on WBZ to Lobel for giving him a shot at TV when his presentation was painful to say the least to Ordway and WEEI for utilizing him because of his Belichick connections as the popularity of the NEP exploded after 2002 which allowed him to build a veritable cottage industry paired with Fred the ultimate homer tied to NE tailgating and eventually a restaurant they could hype to patsfans. And he told them all he now apparently struggles to balance that against his love for the Giants and how he feels more at home in a swamp.
So give up the charade and go where you feel at home, Steve. We'd all be happier. Oh wait, what? You can live anywhere you want and you've chosen NE as your home? You want us to judge you by the body of your work as an analyst? Pahleese... Until WEEI downsized you were largely right wingnut Fly Freddy Smerlas straight man and foil. The only thing worse than a fraud is an arrogant fraud dumb enough to bite the hand that feeds him and covered all his dui and divorce lawyer and alimony payments... Cause the Mara's didn't...
