15 yrs ago today was the worst day of my life..My just born daughter Mia was fighting for her life & my wife Sarah was in intensive care after normal childbirth had gone very wrong…15 years later I am so blessed & thankful HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIA !!!
12 years ago my daughter Mia was born with major health complications... we weren’t sure she would make it through her first day...tonight she’s celebrating a birthday bash with her friends as a wonderful normal healthy kid...we are so blessed Happy Birthday Mia Love you so much
THANK YOU NEW ENGLAND for nearly 50 years of debate and laughter with the best sports fans anywhere...I loved and cherish every minute
My final
@OMFonWEEI
@WEEI
today 2-6
Don't pretend to know any behind the scene details but I am amazed at how deaf the Red Sox were in not realizing on such an important & emotional tribute to Remdog that there would not be considerable fan fallout without Orsillo in the ceremony
So after 20+ years of tremendous success by the Patriots...the documentary "The Dynasty" seemed to focus more on the negative which I don't deny there was some but what happened to the positive..they did win an awful lot...well it turns out the positive clips ended up on the
One’s health is a private issue…
@gehrig38
violated Tim and Stacy Wakefield’s privacy and he did so under the guise of wanting to pray for them…he could easily tell his audience that he is praying and he hopes that they will join him in helping a couple who are suffering from
10 years ago today may have been the most frightening day of my life...tonight our family is celebrating our precious Mia’s 10th Birthday...We are so blessed!!!
#perfect
So sorry to hear of the passing of one of our all-time great zany Sports Talk callers...Frank Iacono “Frank from Gloucester” His call was always an adventure
RIP Fruitcake
Listen it’s obvious Mazzulla can’t survive this he’s lost and failed to inspire these players …but if Tatum and Brown are great players they should have been able to generate this dog culture themselves…they failed miserably and the organization has a real problem
Watched a shy kid from Somerset carve out an impressive major league career...develop into one of the best broadcasters ever...and teach us all how to courageously fight life's biggest battles...

Tickets to the June 13th induction on sale now:
Already hearing the campaign to discredit Don Orsillo's version of the story and there will be more..Who knows maybe there are some inconsistencies..still doesn't excuse the Red Sox from not reading the room..should have just had him record 30 sec video and avoid the backlash
Belichick with a frank and honest approach in breaking down the draft picks with video on Pat McAfee's Draft Show...he's breaking the mold of draft hosts by actually pointing out the players weakness including these QB's
This is where I remind people that some are trying to work together to fight this invisible monster....and others are ignoring unity and instead playing out petty politics...
This is where I remind people that Robert Kraft is friends with Donald Trump and gave to his campaign. It’s incredible the Kraft family is doing this, but hope they understand their money helped empower their ✌🏾friend✌🏾
Our hearts are broken with the loss of Tim Wakefield.
Wake embodied true goodness; a devoted husband, father, and teammate, beloved broadcaster, and the ultimate community leader. He gave so much to the game and all of Red Sox Nation.
Our deepest love and thoughts are with
More evidence that the Patriots Deflategate narrative was simply untrue...Peter King on his retirement swan song admits that he was WRONG in his reporting of the story and that it is his biggest professional regret..
I'm amazed at how many fans and media members who believe Kraft should fire Belichick in the middle of the season...like today! Well that's idiotic! What would that do other than release your emotional anger towards this disastrous season? Go burn your Jack Jones jersey if you
Charles Barkley is right…Embarrassing for the organization…there’s one thing to just have a bad shooting night…this team doesn’t want to fight against a roster that is not nearly as good as their’s
Is it me or is ESPN’s coverage of the NBA draft tonight horrendous? Boring as sin and confusing as to where the picks are going as trades are being completed…I watch this yearly and I never have seen a mess like this..
Neumie was also an alum of The Big Show who loved his impersonator on the Whiner Line “Bob Neumeier here” “What’s wrong with that”….phrases Bob actually used. He had the unique ability to laugh at himself and have everyone laugh with him..something sorely missed these days
Thanks to

and
@christianfauria
for the great send off and 6 fabulous years….Love you guys..Make sure to Join the MFers next Monday at 2
@WEEI
Don’t be surprised if you hear a prank caller from Arizona every once in awhile
In the old days of radio there was nothing better than “THE SPORTS HUDDLE W/EDDIE, MARK & JIM...So Sorry to hear of the passing of Jim McCarthy..Wonderful guy w/a tough exterior & a warm heart who helped this young broadcaster when things got a little rough...Thanks Jimmy R.I.P.
Milbury is obviously stepping away because NBC wants him to...It’s a shame that when someone says something some don’t agree with we just CANCEL them instead of allowing them to explain their position opening up dialogue with those who were offending...we are so lost!
Sorry you’re sitting on 2 timeouts and trailing after made shot…You need to take that TO and design a play…instead you are lost and run out the clock….just awful!!!
Come on now...who was really offended by a harmless joke shared by two friends ?...have we gotten to the point where something like this requires an apology?????
Anddd
#TigerWoods
just apologized for handing golfer Justin Thomas a tampon during their match together on the golf course. Says the two play pranks on each other all the time and he’s sorry if it offended anyone.
So will we be hearing from ESPN's Chris Mortensen as well with a mea culpa now that Peter King admits his damaging information about the Patriots participation in Deflategate was WRO...NG ???
It may just be the people I follow but I'm not seeing much criticism from the PC Police on X on this Brady Roast...is it possible we are ready to go back to the days of real comedy when you could bust balls and the audience understood it was a token of love and respect
For those anxious to get rid of Bill Belichick I hope you were paying attention to the play calls and clock management at the end of the Cowboys/Lions game by the 2 coaches...you may want to get used to that here next year
I really wanted to like this "The Dynasty" documentary on the Patriots...but after 4 episodes it's underwhelming to me...a lot of omissions of detail and important events and clearly a bias in their narrative...I'm hoping for better the rest of the way
I still don’t understand the logic of celebrating Tom Brady during halftime of a game…especially when the networks control what you’ll see on TV the great ones get a separate memorable evening televised in the local market…the Bird and McHale nights were special
Haven't been around lately so I am trying to catch-up...Does
@BenVolin
still write for the
@BostonGlobe
? Why would he reveal the Mac Jones tension story on
@WEEI
but not write it in the newspaper that pays his full time salary?
Steve Kerr, Pop, Lebron talk shit about Trump and injustices here all the time because it enhances their woke stature and never cost them a dime maybe even earns them a few more...but when their $$$$$ is taken away all principle goes out the window..they become shriveling frauds
The first public comments from Dodgers president Stan Kasten following MLB’s report on the Astros’ sign-stealing: "I’d like to have answers to many questions about what happened, by whom and when"
So you bring Pritchard in to maybe give you a spark and never set up a play for him??? But you keep him on the floor to get exposed at the defensive end without ever touching the ball..now that’s coaching
Wasn’t sure earlier in the week that we would have an amicable end to this successful run…they always end ugly…but both sides obviously realized how special the last 24 years have been and treated the greatest sports dynasty with dignity and respect
Don't understand this..Mut is very talented and has come a long way from his early days at the station..If anything he's vastly under appreciated Great guy who was great to work with..Here's hoping he finds his niche in the gambling broadcast world where he really excels
Some news - next week will be my final week at WEEI.
Station management informed me last week they are not renewing my deal for 2023.
Will briefly talk about it in the first hour of tonight’s show.
The MFers have been busting their ass for the last few months....I obviously have not...So this Friday they take the day off and I dust off the old pipes and return to the scene of the crime from 2-6 pm w/
@fitzy
@WEEI
Have a Great Thanksgiving and we'll catch up Friday
So it looks like Atlanta will be Bill Belichick's next stop with a pretty good Falcons roster...Check out the 2025 schedule...NE plays ATL...It's possible Bill could break Don Shula's record against the Patriots...maybe at Gillette Stadium
It's so great watching these tributes and highlights to Mike Gorman
@celticsvoice
...a wonderful guy who deserves all the accolades for an incredible career..Congrats Mike!!
And baseball wonders why they can’t attract the younger generation?...These guys wasted a half inning bitching about batting practice attire... not game attire but batting practice attire
That's a foul in the first 3 Quarters so it has to be a foul in the last few seconds..this idea that you can't call a foul like that in the last few seconds with the game on the line..why not? A foul is a foul
So they had worst 3 pt shooting game of the year, untimely turnovers, dumb fouls (Al on Butler for 3 FTs) & yes bad calls…this was a game where they reminded us of some of their previous issues and yet they found a way to get it to 7 because they’re damn good
Adam Schefter speaking on the
#Patriots
GM search, just now on ESPN: "They're in no rush to hire a general manager. They might even wait until after the draft to hire a general manager."
Again, don't forget Eliot Wolf in this process.
So sorry to hear of the passing of former Patriot David Patten...really good guy with a big heart..came to me after his playing days asking for advice regarding a broadcasting career...actually co-hosted a few "BIG SHOW'S"
@WEEI
so tragic RIP David
I’ve seen a lot of Celtics Game Fives over the years and I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed than this one…This is an extremely talented team certainly more talented than Philly….But Balls????????
Would love for that to happen...
@GerryCallahan
has put his heart and soul into the Jimmy Fund...He's been a huge reason for the success of this event..over $53 million raised!!! People should never forget that
So anybody who knew anything about baseball knew that this Sox team was not going to be a contender…So the firing of Bloom means either ownership doesn’t trust him in the offseason to build a contender or they realize the brand is seriously damaged in the eyes of the fan base
It's pretty obvious now that Price was never affected by the cold...It was a mental block in pressure situations..After these last 2 starts...I think he's cured!!
I grew up with the Friars Roasts where Don Rickles would obliterate some Hollywood star and then we had the Comedy Central Roasts but in recent years the networks became afraid of the 3rd rail...It seemed like the 3rd rail returned tonight with the Brady Roast & it was great!
Maybe time to…dare I say…TANK and find that QB like the other 31 franchises have had to do over the last 25 years…Does anybody really believe this is going to get better ?
The
#Patriots
have one of the NFL’s worst QBs and WR corps.
They are the NFL’s worst pass-protectors.
Defensively, down their 2 best players, they allowed New Orleans to score its first TD in 20 drives.
Their special teams rank 32nd by DVOA.
This is a terrible football team.
Are you kidding me?....Elizabeth Warren & Ed Markey were one of the first Baystaters to receive the vaccine ...are you paying attention or just buying the crap they’re dishing...they didn’t deal with nursing homes initially and they aren’t now...and that’s the problem
So sad to hear of the passing of Larry Lucchino...we had some verbal battles but always maintained great respect and don't believe he's ever received the justified credit for his role in the success of the Red Sox...RIP Larry
So sad to hear of the passing of former Celtic, Eric Montross, at only 52…I remember him as a guy who always had a smile every time you approached him…RIP
I’ve always argued in the NBA great players are more important than great coaches...But Brad Stevens SO out coaching Brett Brown it’s a BIG reason Boston is 3-0
Let’s not leave Brad Stevens out of the blame pie…this is the most inexperienced coaching staff in the NBA..he lost 3 of the most experienced guys on the bench and Brad who was a coach didn’t realize that was going to be a major issue? AND IT IS
Heat score 46 in 3Q...21 more than the Celtics and Mazzulla never called a timeout...Every time Boston made a run Spoelstra called one to shift the momentum...Hopefully Joe took notes
And your fear is ?...that the term "misinformation" will no longer be disguised as a code word for "I don't agree with that"? A totally Free Speech platform is allowing an opinion that some totally disagree with to be heard and not suspended...maybe it's a good thing Ben
A wonderful man who really cared about others...It was a joy to travel with the C’s back in the ‘80’s when KC would invite us to join him at a piano bar where he would take over the mic and serenade a crowd that had no idea who he was RIP KC
The Celtics family mourns the loss of twelve-time NBA champion, two-time NCAA champion, Gold medal-winning Olympian and Hall of Famer, K.C. Jones, as we celebrate his remarkable career and life.
Full statement:
At one time Chris Sale was the most underpaid player in MLB but he became the most overpaid player in the league after the Red Sox gave him a risky extension due to his injury woes...which is why they're dumping him now even paying Atlanta to take that risk off their hands...In
Love that so many are stunned by Bill's move to sign AB...Anybody follow history? He loves buying BIG talent when value is LOW He'll throw his ass out if it fails and get a Comp pick in 2020..Where's the risk???
The time and commitment Brock Holt has given Jimmy Fund kids on a daily basis make him a Champion beyond what he's accomplished on the field...I can't tell you how many amazing stories I've heard about this guy
We are so grateful to have a friend like Jimmy Fund Captain Brock! Moments like these mean the world to us. ❤️
Thank you for including us today,

Always enjoyed my time working with Lou...especially Angry Lou...It's become a crazy illogical business...But there is no one in town who is a better baseball analyst right now than Lou..should be a great spot for him
