Messi not scoring in the 88th is why he’ll never win an international trophy.

A Yeti is nice, but it’s not twenty snow shovels.

Hey! Stop under-crediting Troy Brown’s insane versatility with the Pats!

Americans aren’t perfect, and one problem we absolutely have is assuming everyone everywhere should know the language we speak—when so few of us are even bilingual compared to those in other countries. (It’s a big reason why a lot of Europeans resent U.S. tourists.)

“The Stanley Cup is in the building!” Of course it is. Does it have somewhere else to be?

The Patriots have signed rookie QB Mac Jones to his four-year contract with a fifth-year team option, per source.

IG tip: Put the 6 next to the 3.

N’Keal? Probably a Moor. As a non-sovereign the draft does not apply to him. Nor does the expectation that he run routes correctly and catch passes thrown at his feet.

The Glenn Ordway Boston Media narrative:  Not so fast, my friends

Glengarry Glenn Ordway

If you’re a regular reader of The15Net.com, you’re familiar with the phrase ‘Boston Sports Media is an incestuous cesspool’.

This has never been more true in the case of the most recent “retirement” (Kathryn Hahn Wink Dot JPG) of Glenn Ordway, 21st Century radio’s answer to “What if Eddie Andelman’s Sons Don’t Take Away His TracFone?” Glennie always loathed Eddie, which is amusing because Ordway is what he loathed.

“Retirement”

A Steve Buckley comparison to WEEI Ordway 2.0 could be elderly Willie Mays falling on his face during the ’73 World Series, but OMF isn’t close ratings-wise for any playoff. OMF Ordway is staggeringly bad, but Glenn’s bloated ego is worse. He’s 1510 The Zone Eddie Andelman, just not as interesting. Ordway’s legacy is more complicated than Steve Buckley’s Athletic fluff job and Pissant Alex Reimer’s fawning piece on the unvisited WEEI.com would have you believe. Boston media might be the only free market where competition doesn’t improve the product. Boston media is insular. They don’t want to improve, compete, or be criticized; they want to keep their gigs without any heavy lifting. That is Glenn Ordway’s Boston Media legacy. Chisel that one on his gravestone.

The lack of anyone in mainstream media to offer criticism – spare me Charred Finn and Pissant Reimer, PR flacks under the guise of media critics – enables this. Paraphrasing Finn as done on the late BJBSJournal.com: Boston Sports Media is a family. A Crime Family.

Glenn Ordway was smug Senator Geary after meeting Michael in Tahoe. I’m not saying he murdered a prostitute in a brothel, caller; I’m just asking the question. (That’s how you do it, right, Glenn?)

“Here’s the thing Mister Corleone; you can never have, enough pitching!”

Ordway was a man with no term limits in a one-party state. Never as smart as he thought, Ordway was caught off guard and gassed for Mike Fucking Salk at the end of his first run at EEI. He was relegated to the internet – a platform he once mocked – to do shows with guests bribed with expired gift cards.

OMF Ordway 2.0 never mattered. He was handed a guaranteed contract given by inept, desperate Entercom management, and he mailed it in daily. Ordway 2.0 was Pablo Sandoval.

LJ loves Glenn, he really does, Craig.

Ordway is the Godfather of modern Sports Media in Boston. That’s not a compliment.

Sheesh.

He double-dipped on his duplicity by going all-in on a ticket scalping scheme with his friend/co-host Fred Smerlas in the mid-nineties with the “Patriots Tailgate” glorified tent at Rodman Ford – a vendor Ordway had in his hip pocket – where they marked up tickets to Parcells/Bledsoe era games at Foxboro Stadium by multiples of multiples in exchange for lukewarm hot dogs and potato salad while Steve DeOssie sweated on patrons inhaling his cigar smoke.

Ordway was a staunch Bledsoe over Brady guy and mocked his audience for suggesting otherwise. Good call, Fredo.

(040308, Boston, MA) the man of the hour Glenn Ordway at the annual Whiney Awards hosted by Glenn Ordway at the Wang theater. Thursday, April 03, 2008. (Staff photo by Stuart Cahill)

Ordway gave Dan Shaughnessy and Ron Borges additional prominent platforms. He did the same for Alex Reimer and John Tomase. Two-thirds of the Unholy Trinity of current Boston radio, Michael Felger and Tony Massarotti, were regulars on the old Big Show. The Big Show was dreadful performance art. Facts didn’t matter, strawmen and fabricated narrativez did. The Whiner Line existed in no small part because the hosts weren’t funny or smart enough to create their own material. Ordway made a living for close to 50 years making fun of athletes, managers, coaches, and GMs, yet when BSMW’s Bruce Allen offered mild, thoughtful criticism of him on a website Glenn claimed nobody read, he would spend segments railing against Bruce and his Boston Sports Media Watch site. No one was more thin-skinned than the Big O.

Well, that didn’t work as planned.

Ordway the Program Director repeatedly killed Ordway the host, failing to see where media was headed as early as 2001 and derisively casting aside bloggers like Allen, Bill Simmons (I know, I know) and Dave Portnoy as losers in their mother’s basements. I’ll guess Ordway didn’t possess the self-awareness to see the irony when he was relegated to his wife’s attic for the Big Show Unfiltered podcast, which was less successful than The Gerry Callahan Q-Anon Hour sponsored by Shea Concrete, The Greg Bedard Podcast or Entitled Town.

Despite this, Ordway owns a house overlooking the ocean in Cohasset, proving a sucker is born every minute.

Ordway took a farewell tour when he got fired for Mike Salk 8.5 years ago,but yet again Ordway is getting thrown out on his ass due to illness: Listeners are sick of him. (Apologies for recycling a Howie Carr joke.) For most, getting fired again for underperformance after being replaced by Salkie and then being teamed with two ex-jocks on a fourth tier radio station would be shameful, but Glenn Ordway is incapable of shame.

OMF ‘is the sound you make when you see your show came in fourth, Again.

Ordway was an exceptional opportunist, give him that. He was an outrage profiteer, feasting on the misery of his customers. If that is a talent, he’s talented. If Ordway is the Godfather of anything, he’s the Godfather of Gaslighting.

He’s Exhibit A for the prosecution in the landmark Turn Off Your Radios case before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

Seriously. Turn off your radios.

The big omg

Ayeeeee! There are certain moments in life where you can’t forget where you were when it happened. Like, I can still smell the leather of my bff’s dad’s friend’s couch when Brady was throwing lasers to Gronk and Moss to go 19-0 only to lose to the Giants. And days later, when Spygate happened, the smell of my mom’s perfume filled my nose while she rubbed my back, assuring me that Brady would never cheat.

Spygate

Yesterday was no different. When I heard that Glen O was leaving the radio, I froze. It’s like that scene in the Thomas Crown affair when Crown offers to return the Monet. Chills. Not because I was going to miss Glenn, but because I knew that the time was now to change the landscape.

So who is going to step up to the mound and take over for the O? Here is one gal at the game’s take at the honorable mentions:

  1. Courtney Fallon – this gorg diva knows her stuff and isn’t afraid to back it up or delete what she said.
  2. Lucy Burge – this bombshell knows how to drive the boys crazy and eats up hot takes like hot cakes.
  3. Jen Royal – when she isn’t giving the boys the business lol, she’s cooking up hot takes like hot cakes.
  4. The girl who did the poem at Biden’s election.
Literally knows more about basketball than anyone including Bird or Jordan

But the winner is: Jacquilene Mack Macmullan. Jacky is by far the most knowledgeable sports person in the United States. Her mind is like a weapon, and when she gives it a cock, you know she’s going to teach you something. It’s well known by people in my industry that she would advise Al “Red” Auerbach about who to draft and what defense to play and would, at times, defend the Celtic’s hall of famers. Her D was a known secret, so to say. So farewell big O and hello big D.

Remember that emotion? That’s real. If I’m being really real here, like really, really, real, I have to say that this is another example of Boston’s reputation as a sexist town being confirmed.

Boston fans want to rant and rave about how the stereotypes are wrong, and that beantown is a bastion of inclusiveness and progressive thought. They get aggressive and defensive about it, but facts are facts. From the school bus issues in the 70’s to Carol and Charlie Stuart and so on: It’s a hard truth: Boston is a sexist city.

So where do we go from here? I mean, the Cees could draft Mississippi center Shakira Austin (like they should). The Red Sox could hire Jennie Finch as pitching coach. The Patriots could hire Sarah Fuller as kicking helper. The Bruins could hire Nancy Kerrigan as skating coach.

All examples off the top of my head. Will it happen? Well, in Olivia Rodrigo’s words:

‘Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house

I hope Brad is listening. I hope Boston is listening.
