Honestly, the Top 2 are Rick Petino and Butch Hobson. Booby V may be a distant 3rd, but he was only around 1 year.

What is to be gained from such a mean spirited poll. It is another example of how low WEEI goes to ridicule those individuals that they do not like. Give it up and be a little more positive with your reporting, Set a better example.

You have too much time on your hands. This is a pathetic. Ever think about doing a survey on something positive? That’s not what EEI’s about, is it…
