data-mm-id=”_x28n4qkbs”>On Wednesday, during a segment of The Greg Hill Show on WEEI, listeners were shocked by what happened during a discussion of the show's favorite alcoholic drinks. Framed as their "top five nips" several types of hard alcohol were suggested before producer Chris Curtis said, "I'd probably go Mina Kimes" then looked around to see if anyone got his joke. Well, now he's denying the intent behind the joke.Here's the clip in question:pic.twitter.com/bgNXfLaTJJ— Dave Cullinane (@davecullinane) March 22, 2023For those not aware, "nip" is a racial slur for a Japanese person. Setting aside the fact that Kimes is Korean, it's a horrific thing to say. Curtis and WEEI have quickly come up with an excuse. As the Boston …
data-mm-id=”_gwsg8bukp”>Bill Simmons is supposed to be in the middle of a six-week break as he recharges his batteries ahead of football season, but a confluence of major events forced The Sports Guy to interrupt his hiatus to release a two-part podcast talking about an upcoming Ringer documentary, the 20th anniversary of The OC, New York Jets hype and a practice expansion draft for two NBA teams that do not yet exist.

data-mm-id=”_tb2wsslue”>Major League Baseball had a spectacular postseason no matter how much people want to hem and haw over ratings. They would have preferred that the Texas Rangers-Arizona Diamondbacks World Series had gone seven games like both thrilling League Championship Series but Corey Seager, Marcus Semien and a suddenly lockdown pitching staff had other plans, wrapping up the crown last night with a shutout victory in Game 5. Which left Commissioner Rob Manfred to power through the trophy presentation without a few extra days to rest his voice. Here's how that went. Is Rob Manfred ok?????? pic.twitter.com/qLxLG8PrA0— Bronx 💣ers (@BronxBombrs) November 2, 2023Honestly, a savvy move. Manfred's been the recipient of a good amount of critiques through th…
data-mm-id=”_n03aes0mw”>Zach Wilson's 2023 season was officially over earlier this week once the New York Jets announced he would not exit concussion protocol in time for Sunday's finale against the New England Patriots. Trevor Siemian got the start in his place and while nobody said it at the time it was not only the end of Wilson's season but also his Jets career. There was no universe in which the former No. 2 overall pick would be able to return to the building this offseason as Aaron Rodgers' backup after everything that's happened over the last four months, from his maddeningly inconsistent play to conflicting reports from sources inside the building regarding his willingness to play. Ahead of the team's final game, his fate was effectively sealed. I…
data-mm-id=”_3u2hlf1yj”>He may not be on our list of the 10 worst umpires in Major League Baseball, but Bruce Dreckman made a call on Saturday that could put him in the running for next yera. It was as bad as it gets, and easily the worst call of the 2024 MLB season so far. The Philadelphia Phillies were hosting the Atlanta Braves and Dreckman was behind the plate. After the Braves scored two runs in the top of the first, the Phillies loaded the bases in the bottom half against lefty Max Fried. Nick Castellanos was up with two outs and things got dicey. Castellanos faced a 2-2 count when Fried threw a 98 mph fastball right down the middle. The outfielder watched it go by and, to the astonishment over everyone in the park, Dreckman called it a ball. Here's video:Here is the 2-2 pit…
