Am I The Only Person That Thinks That Boston Sports Radio Is COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL?

I can’t listen to local sports talk radio.  They are completely out of control.

I understand it must be difficult to fill hours on end with sports talk but these guys are just an incessant bunch of whining bitches.  They are hypocrites and just wayyy over react to everything.

Did it suck to watch the red Sox collapse?  Course it did.  But the way these guys just hammer away at any little imperfection is BRUTAL.

Wouldn’t it be great if a bunch of pro athletes would start their own radio show and just hammer the bitches behind the mics at the Boston Sports talk radio stations for being completely unreasonable, hypocritical and whiney.

You know how overblown the thing is about the guys having beers in the clubhouse?  You don’t think that Kevin Millar was pounding down budweisers in the clubhouse en route to the 2004 World Series?  Cowboy Up Kids!

Dominic Nesta’s Marine Service Rig From Bill O’Connor

Hi Joey,

I ran into John Nesta and his son Dominic Tuesday afternoon at Sibley’s Boat Yard working on Dominic’s boat.  Dom got the boat from Mark Lacey this Summer and has been gearing it up to do various marine service duties.  She’s up on the rails while they install a pilot house with the help of Larry Dahlmer – artist and boatsmith. I think the pilot house will give the boat the look of an old wooden trawler on a miniature scale.  It’s going to be pretty cool when they’re done…

Keep an eye out, Dom just needs to glass the luan and 2x frame, and he’ll have the boat back in the water within the week!

Enjoy,
~Bill O’Connor

Tenderloin With Fig Sauce Video With Sista Felicia On The GDT Taste of The Times

image

click here for the entire video and recipe

Figs are used extensively in Mediterranean and Middle East cooking. You may have heard of Italian sweets such as Fig and Ricotta Tarts, Fig and Pistachio Biscotti and of course Italian Fig Cookies. But they are also used for more savory foods, such as this Pork Tenderloin marinated in an onion and fig mixture and then served over couscous with an onion and fresh fig sauce.
If you can get them, there is nothing quite like the unique taste and texture of a fresh fig. They can be eaten whole, skin, seeds and flesh. Since fresh figs are one of the most perishable fruits, they should be purchased only a day or two in advance of when you are planning on eating them. Look for figs that have a rich, deep color and are plump and tender, but not mushy. Ripe figs should be kept in the refrigerator where they will stay fresh for about two days. California figs are available from June through September; while some European varieties are available through autumn.
