"As soon as I found out there might be a problem with Rich…I had one name in mind."
"He doesn’t like negativity. He doesn’t like being drawn into it with the likes of me."
After a tumultuous year, Boston's top sports radio show Toucher and Rich came to an abrupt end on Friday.
"Chiefs fans are awesome...but the announcer (Mitch Holthus) sucks and like everyone in media there sucks."
The current tension continues what has been a strange year for The Sports Hub’s longtime morning show.
"I was like, 'All right, I've lost control, I've lost control of alcohol, I've lost control, I'm not thinking like me, I need to make sure that I'm in a position where I do not have the opportunity to drink.'"
"I don't know exactly when he'll be back, but I've been a friend of Fred's for years and I hope the best for him."
Toucher is back on the air, but Shertenlieb is curiously absent.
"I think that if I go to the doctor on Monday, he is going to give me permission to go back on the air."
"We didn't tell anyone to call you. If they did, they did so own [sic] their own."
"They don't need me. Cancer scare and I don't hear a word for weeks.
"Not to sound dramatic, but it is possible a listener saved my life by setting up that appointment."
"If you’re ever negotiating a contract and have anything going on remotely sketchy, they will use that against you."
"I mean, it has occurred to me. Is my career over if I continue to talk like this?"
"I know his handlers have moved to Miami. It’s built for him. He’s looking at private schools for his kids."
"I had to be operated on within 48 hours, or I could’ve lost my eyesight forever."
"The company has decided to suspend Tony for the rest of the week without pay."
"Get these clowns out of here. All they want to do is fight"
"I'm sorry for that comment. I didn't need to make that comment. I should not even ever bring any sort of music into play, because I have no clue what's going on in a player's head."
"I want you guys to know I have never been drunk on the air [management has never accused me of such} I am going to a mental institution next week. I am sometimes too forthcoming on the air. I’m used to just being honest about my life but when you are a fuckup that isn’t such a good idea."
"It is a house full of goombahs! The whole thing, there's very few minorities, very few women, very few kids. It's one dude with a chain and a Yankee jersey hanging off the next!"
