This is justice! I have spent the last few years tooling on Curt Schilling for his constant blogging (going so far as to refer to him now and always as ‘The Blogger’) and now Entercom wants all of us to write a blog! It’s not such a bad idea, I guess, because I am only allotted four and a half hours to talk each day, and I have so much more to say!

Denis Leary was back in the studio with us yesterday, plugging his book “Why We Suck”. He was pissed because his PR people had the old address of our Westboro studio and they drove all the way out there at 7am before realizing their mistake. I love Denis because he is exactly what he appears to be…and he is not a guest who you need to pull content out of. He is the only guest who is allowed to smoke in the studio. Supposedly, we have some sophisticated fire system that sucks all the air out of the room as soon as it senses smoke but it never goes off when Denis lights up so I think it’s a lie to keep Mike Hsu from sparking up during his show.

Denis called back this morning (Tues) to thank everyone for showing up for his book signing. I was pissed about the Citigroup bailout and he said he thinks that if we are going to keep bailing these companies out, the whole country ought to be able to Christmas shop for free for one day. Kind of a “bailout Friday” shopping day. Sounds like a good plan to me. In this country, businesses go bankrupt every day-why do we have to bail certain businesses out? We have let these financial institutions get so big that, when they fail, the whole financial system is affected. Too bad! Let them fail like we are letting Circuit City or Linen’s and Things fail. I don’t hear anyone talking about the global shower curtain market being devastated when Linen’s and Things goes under.

Denis told us that this season of “Rescue Me” is the best ever and he was going off about what a great “dramatic” actor Lenny Clarke is in a certain hospital scene. Lenny is known as a comedic actor, but Denis said he is incredible during this scene…I’m guessing someone important dies on the show. Lenny told me at our Celtics charity dinner that there will be a “Rescue Me” comedy tour around the country running simultaneously with the premier of the show in the spring with him and Denis and others. Denis also said that if LB gets down to 220 lbs, he will give him a nude scene on the show. Finally, some real breasts on that show.

Speaking of our dinner, Wyc Grousbeck (the owner of the Celtics) and Brian Scalabrine (new “king of the three’s” in Boston) were gracious enough to help raise $5,000 by eating with a group of listeners at the Capital Grille in Boston last week. During the dinner Wyc got a call from Danny Ainge telling him that KG had been suspended for a game, which made Scal pretty happy! Wyc also said that the Celtics didn’t stand a chance of getting McDice because they were not willing to do some things that other teams were willing to do. It sounded to me like other NBA teams were willing to do some “sketchy” deals to try to land him and I think it’s cool that the Celtics weren’t.

I swear that half of Joe Robbie Stadium Sunday was Patriots fans! You have to be impressed with how many fans this team has, despite all the douche haters who are out there. When Matt Light was punching Crowder, the place erupted. Matty was pretty upfront during his interview with us on Monday, and said that Channing is a worse trash talker than Joey Porter. In my opinion, he deserved what Light gave him.

Former New England Patriot Joe Andruzzi called the show to talk about his charity event Monday at Christina’s on Route one. I will be there along with Mike Vrable, Matt Light, Dan Koppen and a bunch of Joe’s former teammates raising money for his foundation. Joe beat cancer and now wants to give back to families who are affected, so if you want to come out for a good time, I will see you there on Monday.

Finally, since it’s a time of “giving thanks”, I want to thank everyone who donated for this year’s Walk and Rock for Change. It’s incredible that we were able to raise over $100,000 and that is a credit to the generous listeners of our show, and this station. It seems like when times are tough, you guys step up even more and I am really impressed.

Check back later for my new blog and I hope I did better than Schill.
