Hideki Irabu
In 1999, the "Boston Globe"'s executive sports editor, Don Skwar, banned its sportswriters from the Globe from appearing on the "Dennis &amp; Callahan" morning show because of its perceived lowbrow humor. This came two weeks after he banned "Globe" sportswriters from appearing on WEEI's afternoon "The Big Show" after columnist Ron Borges appeared on the show and used a racial slur to describe New York Yankees pitcher Hideki Irabu. After the ban, WEEI retaliated by banning Globe sportswriters from all WEEI programs.
