Herald: WBCN wooing Dennis, Callahan, "guy talk"?

[John Francini]

Well, I'd like to think that moving D&C off of WEEI *might* be a Good 
Thing (tm) -- because I can't stand it when they talk about anything 
OTHER than sports -- I bet that all WEEI will do is find *another* 
pair of talkers who will talk about all sorts of random crap that I 
really don't care about.  If I cared, I'd be listening to WRKO or 
96.9.

D&C are actually quite good when they stick to what they know best. 
Once they wander off into the weeds outside the "toy store" of life, 
they show their ignorance and narrow-mindedness -- Callahan 
especially.

So go off to WBCN -- a station I don't listen to except for Patriots 
broadcasts anyway, because what passes for "rock" on their playlists 
doesn't deserve the title.

And while they're at it, corporate Entercom should go to corporate 
New York Times, Inc. and do whatever needs to be done -- including 
cash payments, if need be -- to end this stupid boycott that prevents 
Globe columnists like Dan Shaugnessy, Bob Ryan, etc. from appearing 
on WEEI programs.  All this boycott does is make the Globe look 
foolish, provincial, and snotty.
