if the Queer Eye cast doesn’t want to be mocked, then maybe they shouldn’t be on a show that explicitly exploits their homosexuality. one can’t have it both ways (no pun intended).

I don’t think the Queer Eye cast is complaining.

i have no idea who this john molori is, but he comes off as quite the idiot.

last week he asks bob ryan, fresh off his “27 games of antoine is 27 too many” declamation, for his thoughts on the celts. then today he sticks up for the 6 or 7 offended homosexual weei listeners.

maybe next week he will ask donovan mcnabb how to run the two-minute drill.

I didn’t hear Ordway’s comments but Dennis and Callahan made plenty of comments in the same vein. I’m a heterosexual and I found their comments to be sophmoric, ignorant and highly offensive. I’m glad some of their callers took them to task on it as well. It came off as some of the most juvenile homophobic crap I’ve ever heard on the radio. They were embarrassing to me as a New Englander and Boston sports fan.

“6 or 7 offensed homosexual WEEI listeners?” WEEI obviously has a huge audience. Boston and the whole area has a rather large gay population. You don’t think any of them like sports or listen to sports radio. Seems to me that you just decided to throw out a nice little stereotype of your own. It’s quite probably that EEI has tens of thousands of homosexual listeners. That is of course if they dont’ mind so called ‘guy radio.’ It’s just too bad one of these EEI guys didn’t think it was a ‘METCO jock strap.’

i know about 20 homosexuals, only one of them is a sports fan. so i stand by the “little stereotype” that i threw out.

i didn’t count the alleged offended heterosexuals because i guess i don’t really care.

weei embarasses you as a sports fan? now that is funny.

Well, more so than normal.
