[Tunescribe]

great turn of phrase

OK, so what were Ordway's questionable off-air activities?

Glenn, far from helping Johnny Most at the end, was mostly helping him out the door so he could run the show. And you won't see former Celtic's player and broadcaster Rick Wietzman at any of Glenn's retirement celebrations since he was also back stabbed by Glenn. And those are just 2 that I have direct knowledge about. There were others. So THERE you got me to spill

Eddie Andelman agrees.

Jambalaya!

Talk about a guy who didn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground, as my dad used to say, when it came to sports. I really miss that great Kowloon talk. The “What is the best hotdog topping?” episode was fantastic sports radio as well.

only a fat bowling ball midget with a dead rat sewn into his scalp could last 34 years..the reason? RADIO...

Probably not a good idea to be fat-shaming the bowlers on this board, @Joker .

Fun fact : the actor who played Liam is from West Arundel, ME

Ordway's greatest contribution to the world of sports was the Weiner-Whiner Line. My favorites were "Ordway, You Faaaat Baaassstaaarrrd!" and the call-ins from "Butch from the Cape" long after he died or escaped from the FBI Witness Protection Program.

I want to know what qualified Glenn Ordway to do color commentary for the Celtics way back when...Ordway is like 5'2', bet he never played basketball past elementary school....

People seem to like Mike Reiss and he never played football at a pro level and is also 5'2". One doesn't need to have played a sport at a high level to report or comment on it.

yeah but it helps one's credibility...pretty soon every bubbleheaded beach blond bimbo from Biscayne Bay will be doing breathless "reports" on jet sweeps and avocado tofutti machiatos as our once proud, fearsome game is reduced to the lowest "goo gee gaa gaa" denominator.
