Klecko73isGod Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I hate stat junkies. Here's my stats: As a rookie, he led his team to the AFCC game, in which he was leading at the half; He is 3-1 in the postseason; He has 5 fourth quarter comebacks this season alone. I'll take my chances with Sanchez Six. He has six 4th quarter comebacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Get To Know the Boston Sports Media: Gerry Callahan Here at Mass Hysteria we understand that many of our readers are not from the Greater Boston area. As a slave to the state of Massachusetts, HZMLS will introduce you to some of our great and prolific sports reporters that give us the run down each week in print, video and the radio. The goal of these pieces is to allow you the readers to gain a better understanding of the local flavor that creates our sports scene. While some of this is factual, much of this is pure opinion, so if you don't like my writing, you can go to hell. GERRY CALLAHAN WEEI has labeled themselves the sports leader here in Boston, mainly because there are no other viable options for listeners to get 24/7 sports talk. Sure ESPN radio exists somewhere, but unless you live between exit 41 and 43 on the Mass Turnpike, this station doesnt come in (and would you really want to listen to Mike and Mike on the way to work?). So what all of you are forced to listen to (unless you have satellite radio) is the dynamic duo of Dennis and Callahan in the morning. The whole premise of the show is that Dennis "the moderate" debates points with Callahan "the lunatic", about news and sports, with calls from Boston listeners. This whole idea is a ******* farce, because Dennis's views are frightingly close to Callahan's, and any caller who dares to disagree usually is just screamed over with no logically argument to be found, and mocked after they hang up. Please let me preface this conversation by saying that I turn on their show just to get a good laugh, because the two of them are piss all over themselves insane. Gerry Callahan was once a respected sports writer, who wrote great pieces over at Sports Illustrated , but left them to come back to his hometown of Boston, and the *ahem* newspaper The Boston Herald. Just to give you an idea The Herald is to journalism what TMZ is to respectable news shows. Callahan hates everything, I mean EVERYTHING, except for the non gay military members, Jack Bauer and Ann Coulter. He hates Obama, liberals, Muslims, Manny Ramirez, Bill Belichick, you, Pedro Martinez, Ted Kennedy, and small puppies. If you get the "joy" of tuning into his show, you probably will see Callahan in either one of two modes. Mode one is ripping the sh*t out of a local sports figure who he finds slovenly or lazy, or going on a diatribe that would make Joseph Goebbels proud. Over the past week Callahan made fun of Ted Kennedy who has ******* brain cancer, sniveled that Barack Obama probably will be coming back from Turkey in a turban, and today called global warming a myth that has been debunked by many books (?). Oh, and Callahan hates blacks, though he has weaseled his way out those accusations. Check out what he said about Metco (urban kids who get to go to surbaban schools) students: " Callahan: "They caught him at a bus stop, right -- he was like waiting to catch a bus out of town." Dennis: "Yeah, yeah -- he's a METCO gorilla." Callahan: "Heading out to Lexington." Dennis: "Exactly Well it should make you all feel better to know that Callahan attended sensitivity training and is all better now. Callahan's favorite TV Show 24 is a constant conversation on the show. Though no one watches 24 anymore, it seems that Gerry gets his rocks off through the anti-Muslim, conservative nutjob undertones of the show. I swear he must go home slap a Jack Bauer mask on his wife and goes to town on her. But our friends that don't live in the area, WEEI IS NOW ONLINE! So if you want to wake up and listen to your racist, bigoted uncle on the radio, tune into Dennis and Callahan. I'm sure you didn't know that global warming is a liberal conspiracy started by that lazy do nothing Manny Ramirez, and that joke Al Gore. Don't believe me? Then go on over to the Herald and read his rantings about Manny hating kids with cancer! So he's a half wit wanna be shock jock with a hatred of everything. Teeny tiny penis syndrome. Gotta be.

Mattyandthejets Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 http://twitter.com/HeyCallahan this is the writers twitter. Everyone should go there and give him a piece of their mind, that article was probably the most offensive thing someone could write in the wake of a little boy's death. This hack writer used a kid dying of cancer as a spring board to write a snarky article attacking sanchez, and i cant believe it got past the editor, im going to give him a piece of my mind over twitter and i hope many of you follow suit, he cant get away with this.

madmikeisback Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 This article is a great microcosm of the front running scum that makes up 95% of Pats fans. They believe their team's illegitimate success that has been obtained through cheating makes them god's gifts to the NFL and don't really need to worry about little stuff like actually knowing about what they are talking about because they are too busy ball-washing the criminals running their franchise and giving the NFL a black eye. Ending their current run of fraudulent wins would be great but the odds are stacked against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Sanchez or the Jets were hyping this up at all. The family was the one that made it public. It's an 11 year old kid who got a little well deserved happiness at the end of his life. It's not a Jets vs Patriots thing. It's a humanity thing. So weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy needs some respect taught to him. Maybe he should get fired. Anyway...rest in peace Aiden, and I hope the family finds peace.

I'm honestly baffled. I just dont understand how any editor could read this and approve its publication. Unreal. Everyone knows where I stand on Mark and I'm one of his toughest critics, but I have more respect for Mark Sanchez for this act of kindness than I ever will for Tom Brady and his 3 rings.

Aten Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 This is ******* retarded. Callahan isn't 'using' the kid's story to make any point other than that Sanchez is a great guy. There have been countless such articles, all of which met with your roaring approval. The only difference with this one is that, rather than being a 'Sanchez is a great guy and a great quarterback' story, it's a 'Sanchez is a great guy but a sh*tty quarterback' story. I think they're both in fairly poor taste, honestly, but not so much so as, for example, using the kid as an excuse for dumb outrage and feigned indignation.

HessStation Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 LOL at the difference between Boston and New York sports writer/personalities. Understanding the biggest reason is that New York has two teams per sport but still, it just makes you laugh at how juvenile things can get up in Boston. Whatever, I don't even know what it'd be like...to have the ENTIRE city behind my team. Newpaper, Radio, Mutimedia etc. Good for them I guess lol. Our own beat writers don't even like us.

I dont know bro, thats not what I got from that article. Seemed to me the man was diminishing Mark's good deed because he's a lousy QB. And I dont think its retarded at all for the outrage. People react differently to things for all sorts of reasons. I know that if this was my family, I'd be pretty upset that he used Mark's relationship with my dead son to help set up his agenda for a stupid article. He could have made the point that Mark isnt very good a million different ways. Very poor taste and the outrage seems very warranted from my perspective.

Thats not the reason why people are mad. the reason people are mad is because it was totally uncalled for to even use Aiden's story. The article had nothing to do with Aiden and yet this stupid writer decided to include it in his article which at its core was about criticizing sanchez. Aiden's story has nothing to do with mark's stats as a quarterback, and yet this writer decided to include the story anyway, and from the way he wrote it he was acting like a jackass. Basically telling jet fans, dont get too excited for a fairy tale ending with this Aiden story because Brady > Sanchez. mentioning aiden at all was completely over the line.

JetsFanInDenver Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Getting the young boy who lost his life fighting an illness to be the foundation of your hate mongering article. Truly classless! What i am always amazed is the total lack of class displayed by people who follow, cover or are part of the Pats. Maybe its painting with a broad brush and i am sure there are exceptions.

Aten Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Aten, going for the Gato role. Not for nothing, but I don't have to try to get a reaction. I'm actually interested in this. Crusher and JiF are two of the few here who are actually aware that Sanchez is terrible, so the obvious explanation that people are using the kid as an excuse to complain about an article that they really don't like because it's critical of Sanchez doesn't apply to them. I'm also sort of concerned how few people seem to understand what the word 'to' means but that's just sheer morbid curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys only have a problem with the one that's critical of Sanchez as a player. Might want to read every post I have made because I state clearly that I agree Sanchez is not a very good QB. Good person, sketchy to awful as a QB. My outrage comes at using a recently deceased child as a ploy to show the world what a wild and crazy doosh bag you are. This guy is scum. Truth be told Sanchez never wanted this to get out it was reported the family of Aiden who wanted it known what Sanchez did for their dying son. At least that's what I read, might be wrong.
