WEEI
Did former state official break state ethics rule before becoming biotech-industry honcho?
Scott Allen Miller reads a recent Globe story about how Robert Coughlin moved from state officialdom to the chairmanship of the Mass. Biotechnology Council and notices an interesting detail buried far down the story: Coughlin entertained the CEO of a biotech company in Skybox seats at Fenway Park, using tickets given his office by WEEI for having placed some ads on the station.
So? As Miller explains, Skybox tickets are worth far more than the $50 that is the maximum price of tickets state employees are allowed to accept for free. Plus, he explains why one might ask whether those tickets helped get Coughlin his job at the council.

Didn't the Soviets used to do this with photos, too?
Saving WRKO notes an odd WEEI ad on page 18 of today's Herald: It's a reprint of an older ad showing Dennis, Callahan and Meterparel at Fenway park, only Dennis's face has been Photoshopped over Callahan's and Meterparel's.
Dismemberment of Dennis and Callahan really just a way to send a message to Carr?
It'd be an awfully expensive message, no?
That was the week that was in local sports radio
David Scott summarizes the whole thing.
Dale Arnold on his firing as Bruins announcer
Dale Arnold: My side of the story:
... I feel that the advantage of having one of two Bruins' announcers also serve as a talkshow host on the highest rated sportsradio station in America outweighs the perceived advantage of a single play-by-play announcer. NESN disagrees. ...

Schilling and 'roid rage
Bruce Allen: Does anyone else see the irony in WEEI hosts criticizing Curt Schilling for saying stupid things on the radio?
My name is Adam Gaffin and Glenn Ordway can bite me
As I type this, Glenn Ordway and his pals are ripping Universal Hub for the Cedric Maxwell story. Bloggers are irresponsible, unlike the "real" media - except for the Herald's Jesse Noyes who must be a blogger in disguise, because he wrote about it. Bloggers hide behind anonymity. Bloggers never get things right.
Oh, and our original post here about Maxwell was wrong because Maxwell was clearly imitating Tommy Heinsohn (thanks for playing the clip over and over, Glenny).
And now they're yelling about how we need to regulate the JerkWeekly.com's of the world (hmm, good idea for a domain)
Glenn, bite me as hard as you want with your toothless, drooling gums. Whether Maxwell was imitating Heinsohn or not, he said what he said. I'm not sure which is worse, actually: Him saying it or him thinking that's something Heinsohn would have said.

Dennis and Callahan should stick to their knitting
Cranky wants them to stop talking politics:
... If I want a dose of right wing politics, I'll tune in Jay Severin. I certainly don't need to hear it from the sports bozos.
