yep.
callahan was out for his throat or whatever and dennis was on vacation and they were supposed to be reunited but since their contracts were expiring in 2 weeks or something weei held them out until they re-signed. they want more money, weei won't budge.
sounds like patriots and branch....
i wasn't a big fan of them, but these revolving jokers in the morning have been pretty bad.

It's a typical WEEI contract thing. These guys think they are irreplacable and the station thinks they can get anyone to do it. The reality is that hosts on that station get paid VERY well to do a 4 hour show, not to mention all of the "fringe" benefits like vip tickets, free products (like cars) from advertisers, etc... I enjoy their show for the most part, but I can live without them. If I had a choice, Id rather see that annoying gnat Metaparel go away.
The odd thing about this whole situation is that the station is being quiet about it and they keep having the D&C promos running during the show. As for the talk about Callahan going to Nebraska, that was a joke. They were talking about Bill Callahan (Cornhusker HC) signing a contract in Nebraska.

Apaprently D&C are asking for $1.2 Mil each per year and WEEI has offered $750K each. Last thing I heard was that D&C turned down $900k.
