Manny Suspended For Positive Drug Test

Posted by wbzwebbie
Manny Ramirez (AP)

Major League Baseball has suspended Manny Ramirez for 50 games after he tested positive for a drug banned by the MLB – making him the biggest star suspended for drugs so far under baseball’s testing program.

 

Manny is blaming the positive test on medication given to him by a doctor.

 

What do you think of his suspension? Does it surprise you? Do you think he’s telling the truth, or covering up a lie? Do you think he used performance-enhancing drugs while with the Red Sox?

Legal Sea Foods Ads: Offensive Or Funny?

Posted by wbzwebbie
 

Legal Sea Foods has a new advertising campaign featuring some snappy one-liners.

Last summer, a similar campaign had to be pulled because they offended some MBTA trolley operators.

What do you think of this new campaign - funny or offensive?

The Cassel-Vrabel Trade

Posted by wbzwebbie
 

On paper, it was a head-scratcher.

How could the New England Patriots receive only a second-round pick in exchange for an NFL starting quarterback AND a rock-solid clubhouse leading veteran linebacker?

Just like that, Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel gone.

Read Dan Roche's opinion and then add your comments here.

NY Post Cartoon

Posted by wbzwebbie
 

Civil rights activist Al Sharpton is calling this cartoon published in the NY Post “troubling.”

 

The animation from Wednesday’s post shows two police officers standing over the body of a bullet-riddled chimp. One of the officers says to the other, “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.”

 

Do you think this is a racist cartoon, or just an attempt at humor? Tell us what you think.

Politicians To Get Pay Raises

Do you think it's fair that Massachusetts lawmakers will get a 5.5 percent pay increase for themselves while layoffs and budget cuts are rampant throughout the state?

Holiday Music

Posted by wbzwebbie
 

WROR and WODS have kicked off their Christmas music marathon a week early this year, and will be playing holiday songs through the end of Christmas Day.

Are you on board with this, or do you think it is way too early to be thinking about the holidays?

What if you don't even celebrate Christmas? What do you think about listening to Christmas music for two months?

When do you suggest the radio stations and malls start playing Christmas songs?
