I'm convinced that there's a large overlap between people who call into radio shows and people who comment on youtube videos.

Wicked!

It is a well known fact that most WEEI callers are MIT grads.

I'm just pissed that he had the nerve (and management/ownership let him) to wear Tony C's number in the press conference.

"Bobby, I knew Tony C. You sir, are no Tony C."

siegs8: it is a well known fact that the last caller, a giant blowhard named Frank from Gloucester is a Yankees fan and basically certifiably retarded.

I was just going to ask if it was him. I wasn't sure because he wasn't as loud as I remember, but I'm sure ESPN lowered his call a bit. Plus, I don't really listen to that station all that much anymore, so it's been awhile since I've heard him.

I think SportsCenter actually "consulted" with Frank from Gloucester the other night too. Frank's a pretty good example of what happens when you never leave the "island".

Troy O'Leary...jesus.

Terry Francona was Italian

/man, Sox fan's really are traumatized by last season , their memories have been repressed

I give it 4 months and Bobby V will bail, when he realizes what a cush life he left behind at ESPN and traded away for a seat on the crazy train to hell in Bahstan.

No they didnt, did they? Christ.

Cahl Crawwfid, you've been warned wahnn't FFTY

Listening to WEEI stream on the last night of the season was hilarious.

Its all in the catholic family

Not every person from Boston talks like a retard subby.

no shiate - that's like asking Richard Dawkins what his opinion is on a newly appointed pope. Sure, he'll have an opinion, but I would never call him the "average religious commentator"

FriarReb98: DISCLAIMER: 90% of Red Sox fans are not that goddamned retaaaahdid.

\not that Bobby's the best, but Boston sports radio is a cesspool of the biggest idiots in New England

Yes sir. It's a really nice facility and there's a Beer Works a few minutes walk away.

I've seen the Cup before. I've got my picture with it etc.

Bobby Orr lives literally 5 mins down the road from me. :p

Frank from Gloucester made it onto an ESPN broadcast? Really? Honestly?

Next up: MOTWU, Angelo from Everett and the Accordion Guy appear on "Around the Horn" to debate whether a potato is a fruit or a number.

No one in Boston actually talks like that anymore, excepting Southie folks who are over 20 years old. All those callers are from Woostah, Glaustah, Do-at-chestah and all the other "-stahs".

Continuing the threadjack: Skip the Beer Works, and go to Cobblestones Link (new window) (new window) ... the food is much better and they have a very good selection of beers.

Pretty much this.

They never did. The Boston Accent is actually the Brahmin accent, and it's funny as fark to watch a nose-in-the-air back-bay brat swear up an down that "I dooooan' haaaaaahve an aaaaaahccent, I pronowahnce all mah ahre's, you seee." It's like an unholy mixture of fratboy and Mr. Howell from Gilligan's Island.

Newporters think the same thing, only people not from Newport all think we talk like carnival barkers.

Hands-down most incomprehensible accent is a tossup between Manchester, NH and Brockton. The funniest New England accent is Cranston, RI.

Frank is a real treat. I think his best moments are when the Sox sweep the Yankees in some May series and the hosts call him out for a week before he calls back.

The town that stalled in 1987.
