Minihane/Barstool Drama

There seems to be a disturbance in the force re: Kirk's relationship with Barstool, at least it appears so tonight on the Twitter. Something about questioning the combat record of Ben Albright. Gerry Callahan tweets in with an implication that he & Kirk have a future together.
 
Callahan is floating the idea of a subscription podcast with Kirk with a $6/mo fee. Being independent of Bob Murchison and Shirley Leung and their demonstrated ability to organize advertiser boycotts would be key to their survival.
 
Meanwhile Alex Reimer has left WEEI

@AlexReimer1
Today marks the end of my run at
@WEEI
. It feels surreal. I want to thank (most of) you for reading and listening. It’s not too often people get to actually work their dream job. I do feel lucky....I am* beyond* excited to getting started in the State House, where I will serve as
@EricLesser’s Communications Director.

Lesser is a state senator.
Reaction on twitter a mix of bouquets and brickbats, including a mention of Reimer's comment about Brady's daughter.

In a column on WEEI.com he adds, "At this stage in my life, I am more apt to live-tweet Rachel Maddow than tomorrow night’s Red Sox game. Those of you who are misfortunate enough to follow me on Twitter could’ve already guessed that. "

Gerry Callahan tweet: "Alex knew the No. 1 rule in column writing and talk radio: Never be boring. He was fearless, fun and more than a little crazy. A damn good writer too. Not surprised WEEI let him walk."
