I've been saying since the beginning that T&R was not a sports show. I know that here in the bluest of blue states a lot of people don't like D&C, but I really don't think the comparison is valid. Of course D&C have always slammed Imus, so maybe what goes around comes around.
After listening to Dale Arnold fill in a lot this summer, the Muttnansky move makes even less sense to me. Every time I hear Muttnansky, and it's not often, I think of that Larry Johnson snippet about "some high school kid at U-Mass". With Dale and Merloni, 'EEI would bury 98.5 at mid-day. Jason Wolfe has to admit he made a mistake, unless of course someone else called that shot.
I have said the same thing about T&R. They are a watered down Opie and Anthony show, that OCCASIONALLY discusses sports, and rarely indepth.
Just a couple days back, they spent quite a bit of time with a "comedy bit" where one of their flunkies was interviewing some gay man at the Fens. The flunkie was feeding him names of the on air talent at WBZ and WEEI, and asking the gay guy what he would like to do with them.
The answers were rather disturbing, but the "morning zoo crew" at T&R were eating it up.
I might have found that funny when I was 12.....
Anyoneclaiming T&R is a sports show, simply is NOT listening to it.
I cannot think of a SINGLE time when I thought "I should listen to WBZ to find out what is REALLY going on in the world of sports.
That is why I think comparing the D&C show to T&R is apples and oranges.
There was a time that Imus was the morning show on WEEI. I wonder how T&R would react if they were getting outrated by Imus?
Regarding Muttnansky, does he have incriminating pictures of Jason Wolfe laying around?
Pete Sheppard and Dale Arnold are basically pinch hitters, when Muttnansky is a starter? He is awful, and the mid day ratings are ripe for the picking, because Gresh is so horrible.
