OT - Ordway to join Merloni and Fauria on the WEEI mid-day show

[Deus Irae]

Just heard it on the radio.

 

[VectorPrime]

Who is Ordway again?

 

[Galeb]

 

[Sicilian]

Could be a lot worse.

 

[Real World]

This is like hiring Norv Turner and expecting to do better than 8-8 in any given season. Ordway is the epitome of a retread. The guy knows gossip, but he doesn't know sports.

Somewhere tanguay just knocked a 7 year old's ice cream on on the ground

LOVE me some Big O.

Is this permanent? If so, a pretty strange turn of events for Ordway, who used to be king of the hill in the prime drive slot.

Yea, I didn't mind just Lou and Fauria... Ordway brings nothing... He's not funny, informed or objective. Just another loudmouth who thinks way too highly of himself.

 

[Rob0729]

As long as. It isn't Tanguay.

*Yawns* ponders the reason for WEEI.

It's the celebrity callers I can't stand.

Brady and Belichick weekly interviews during football season?

 

[moosekill]

I like Ordway. He is knowlegeable enough, actually likes Boston teams, and will prevent Merloni and Fauria from becoming too silly like they sometimes do. It should be a pretty good show.

As long as he isn't given the authority to turn the midday show into that horrific frat-house Smerlas, DeOssie, Bill Burt **** show he'll be fine.

Besides...no Tanguay is a victory for mankind.

If "Man on the Way Up" calls I hope M&F go postal on him.

Because 98.5 is a cesspool?

 

[Huckleberry1]

I'm OK with Ordway but that's because they spent the last month with the possibility of Tanguay getting it, which would mean never listening again.

 

[JJC]

I actually liked Danny Picard on that show last week.

Tanguay is a tool and Ordway is overbearing.

Should have brought the kid in. It was a lively, high energy listen. Not sure if it was sustainable, but I loved the Southie flavah.

I can't wait for 2055 when WEEI has 100 year-old hosts in 3 of its major shows.
