Aryan Nation Calls for the Return of Dennis and Callahan
Representatives of Aryan Nation held a press conference yesterday during which they called for the management of WEEI to return the Dennis and Callahan show to the airwaves immediately.
“Of course we can still hear Red Sox talk in the morning on WEEI,” said an emotional representative, “but without Brother Callahan and Brother Dennis’s special way of blending that talk with their particular blend of hatred directed at minorities, women, and anyone who doesn’t see the world with the same narrow vision they do, something’s missing.” He paused for moment to compose himself, and gently wipe the tears from his eyes.
“We beg Brother Callahan and Brother Dennis to take a little less money so that they can continue to spew the kind cruel and hateful humor that warms our hearts, puts a big smile on our face every day, and makes the world a little more divided,” he said. “We’re willing to burn a cross on the lawn of WEEI, whatever it takes. Brother Callahan and Brother Dennis have a gift. Hatred and anger like that doesn’t come along every day—it’s special. Bring them back!”

There has been a gradual change at Fenway Park over the past few years. It goes beyond the preponderance of pink hats: there are the outrageous actions of Manny Ramirez cutely being dismissed as “Manny Being Manny,” fans more intent on batting a beachball than watching a baseball game, and fans for whom the high point of the night is the singing of “Sweet Caroline” and doing “The Wave.” One Boston writer dubbed Red Sox Nation “Nitwit Nation,” and others have questioned whether Red Sox fans are really as erudite as they are often credited.
Matt Clement’s tenure with the Boston Red Sox has been a major disappointment for the organization and for the pitcher. Signed to a bloated three-year contract, Clement had a fine first half season, and it’s been all downhill from there. Beaned in the head by a line drive, inconsistent performances, and finally surgery that revealed massive shoulder damage. Now, as the contract has almost expired, the Red Sox are trying to get some value out of Clement while he is still with the team.
The reports on Yankees owner George Steinbrenner do not sound positive. Rarely seen in public anymore, there are a plethora of rumors circulating that The Boss’s health is in decline. This, of course, has led to speculation on what might become of the Yankees franchise were Steinbrenner to expire. Call of the Green Monster has learned that Steinbrenner, despite believing that he is ultimately immortal, has proactively planned for how the Yankees are to be run for what he terms “the period of time during which I might be dead.”
He has been the radio voice of the Boston Red Sox for the past 25 years, and for the past several years worked with colleague and friend Jerry Trupiano. However, at the end of last season, Trupiano was let go by the Red Sox, and two younger partners have taken over, alternating games. All of this has led to much confusion for Castiglione, who loves to focus on the game, supply fans with endless “interesting anecdotes,” and often gets overly excited about Red Sox fly balls that end up being shallow outs. When asked yesterday how things were going with his new partners Glenn Gefner and Dave O’Brien, Castiglione seemed perplexed.
