Re: Guerrero

Trolin sounds like the kind of guy id like to kick in the nuts

 

[ViperGTS]

He got all pissed when Portnoy called him a troll.

Even said he looked like one.

William Tell couldn't hope to hit such a small target, what makes you think you could?

There is a mountain of evidence that supports the claim that Ben Volin absolutely trolls the Patriots fan base.

It's not even a discussion.

We stayed at the same hotel in Denver and I saw him out in the parking lot and told him right to his face his writing is way to negative. I told him not to strain himself to write something positive.

You just confirmed his life's work.

I don't get WEEI's strategy. I can't see Volin, Tanguay, or Tomase being good for ratings. 98.5 dumped both Volin and Tanguay from their rotations.

No we happened to be standing 5 feet apart and I had to do it, I couldn't resist.

Met Tom Curran what an odd guy and I mean dude gives off a weird vibe.

Mike G. from Comcast was a great guy to talk with and spoke with him for a while.

I was expecting way more. I thought Volin held his ground. How did he not mention Volin doing a Google search to accuse Kraft of funding the AEI report? Is confirming sources through Google journalism 101? It's so easy to make Volin look like a fool and he had the easiest ammunition after Volin said Google a couple of times. I would have said, "Ben tell me about Kraft's relationship with Kraft foundation in relation to the AEI report? How much time did you research this before reporting a complete lie?"

I heard Felger say it once, for every bad thing you say or off the wall thing you say it translates into 20 minutes of listening. So the more crap that is put out there, the more ratings you get.

That is why they are putting on odd off the wall guys. You can't tell me when Tanguay says Brady paid off the two Pats employees the phone lines weren't lit up to go after him?

What about Volin's story that he heard they were going to move Seabass to guard?

What vibe does Curran give off?

Seems perfectly normal from what I've seen...

Volin has a career problem. Newspaper reporting per se doesn't pay well. And the career options sportswriting has opened up for a bunch of other guys (and a few gals) don't seem likely to open for him.

They are run by a jet fan who thinks that pissing Patriot fans off is both entertaining and good for ratings, and they are trying to get all of the " love to get angry" callers back from the other station. Personally I'm down to Dale & Holley because I just can't stomach the rest of them. I had hoped that replacing Benz would make the midday show tolerable but Ordway just can't shut up and he always wants to run with whatever Brady issue that has been contrived over talking actual sports, and this is at a time where pretty much add 4 teams are somewhat interesting, and I am not a Sox or Celtics fan. Every other word out of Ordway mouth is Trump.

Was listening, the words "whiney little bytch" came coming to mind..

What a freaking troll, he admitted to tweeting this all yesterday morning to try to make this into a national news story.. who the F cares..

He made a big deal bout Guerrero wearing a Pats Jersey on the sidelines, and then Portnoy told him that all Pats employees wear a jersey on the sidelines.. must be Nike though.

I remember when the Globe used to be great McDonough and Gammons were all stars..

I know I'm doing a good job at avoiding Boston sports media when you guys b!tch about people I've never even heard of.

I haven't listened to that segment yet, but that's one of my complaints with Portnoy. He's bold enough and obnoxious enough to confront people like Volin (and Kravitz and Marshall Faulk,) but either doesn't prepare enough or isn't sharp-witted enough to really bury those people. You mentioned the AEI stuff with Volin. That's a point that Volin would have no real explanation for. Follow that up by asking if he ever did something similar for the people accusing the Patriots, like mentioning the Jets employment or fandom of Kensil, Goodell, Wells, etc, and you'd have Volin in checkmate.

Also, here's a great Twitter put-down of Volin yesterday:
