Sad News at WEEI.com: So Long Chris Price

[jimnance]

Always liked Price. Hopefully, like Reiss,Howe and Curran, his next move is still primarily covering the Pats. We need as many true professionals as possible, to balance out all the clowns.

So, Chris Price and Sean McAdam get greased and jackasses such as Fat F### Sheppard and Ordway get second gigs. The radio scene around here is beyond embarrassing.

Sad to say but Pete Sheppard is a welcome voice in the abyss of radio hosts in this town.

At least he loves Boston Sports. All the rest crap on it.

I understand, but all the rest don't crap on it. Holley and Arnold don't crap on on it. Rich Keefe, I've come to like.
But, I admit that the rest are iffy at best. Zolak is obviously good on football, but he's literally painful on basketball and baseball, as is Fauria. Merloni was good, but now has learned phoniness works best. Ordway is just an arrogant jackass. With few exceptions, radio around here is horrid, except on WEEI from 2:00-6:00. To go back to the start, I understand why homers (and I'm one) like Sheppard, but he's just too bombastic for me. He strikes me as phony, but that's just me.

I like D&H

Pete's toned it down a little. Ordway was a bad influence

I don't hate Pete Sheppard, and honestly, there are much worse around then Pete. I guess he just irritates me when he drifts off to topics such as weather forecasters, the price of licorice and tire tread depth and screams about them.

The sad part is Sheppard and Ordway are not the worst. Not even close. When you have walking wastes of sperm like Tomase, Maz, Shank, Felger, Tanguay, etc, etc. Sheppard and Ordway are almost a breath of fresh air. Losing guys like Price and McAdams really makes you wonder what the media management in Boston is trying to accomplish. As stated by others, hopefully Chris Price lands a better gig somewhere he will be appreciated.

True. I change the station when Tanguay, Trenni, minihane are on and I still refuse to read Tomase who has taken much of Price's space lately. Toucher and Rich seem juvenile to me. They are either giggling like schoolgirls or sound like they are on something.
I like Price,Reiss, Curran, Gaspar and Thornton.

I hear you on that. He does wander off.

We all know Pete doesn't have the polish or depth the other guys have. I don't believe he is a phony though.

I actually met the guy a few years ago and he's a pretty good dude so maybe thats part of the reason I like him. He is who he is in person as he is on the radio.

 

[Huckleberry1]

WEEI is clearly committed to bringing listeners the biggest douchebags available, and their recent purchase cornered the market on them in Boston. I no longer listen to most of their broadcasts, especially when football ends. Putting Tomase on the air and letting Price go is just disgraceful.

Yeah, I don't think he's a bad guy. I actually worked with his brother-in-law for several years who spoke fondly of him, but also acknowledged Pete's "flakiness", for want of a different term.

Being fair there a lot of good bw covering the Pats such as Rich Hill, Mark Daniels (PJ), Doug Kyed, Gaspar, JT. Trollin is the exception. And other clowns that i don't even follow.

The flakiness shines though. No question.

Gaspar?

Gaspar?

 

[Deus Irae]

As this thread seems to be meandering, I want to note that people are confusing "guys I like" with "guys who are good". Despite a person's individual opinion, those two things are different. Felger's an excellent example. I'd like nothing more than to beat him to death (not literally), but he's learned how to play the Boston audience by trolling it on every topic.

Ordway - great at his job
Merloni - still limited, but improving
Dale - great at his job, but needs to keep focused on sports, as he loses it when he gets preachy
Holley -solid, but not succeeding as much since he's gone to more trolling.

etc...

 

[patsbrasilpatriotas]

Gaspar?

Gasper. My default is in portuguese

 

[PatriotsReign]

WEEI has lost a true professional. Another site I won't be going to. Read every book about the Pats from him and always love his insights. Someone needs to pick him up. But regardless, I think I speak for everyone when I say thanks for everything. I've seen him on the board before, so if you're reading this...we Pats fans will follow you wherever life takes you. Thanks again!

We don't boycott every network that does things we don't like

So they fired someone Patsfans like...oh well

 

[QuantumMechanic]

Felger's an excellent example. I'd like nothing more than to beat him to death (not literally)

You're slipping in your dotage.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Felger can absolutely annoy a fan base ...
However if one can look past that I like that he does cover all the local teams almost daily
as opposed to WEEI that still focuses annoyingly on the 'Topic of the Day' ... ad nauseam no less.
