Longtime Boston sports radio personality Rich Shertenlieb is making his return to the airwaves after a high profile breakup with Fred Toucher.
"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.
"Listen to this no-talent p***k."
"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."
"I think that if I go to the doctor on Monday, he is going to give me permission to go back on the air."
"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 had to be operated on within 48 hours, or I could’ve lost my eyesight forever."
"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."
