follow the chatter

[David Barnhart]

In the phrase follow the chatter.  to keep track of the conversations on the
radio, in chatrooms, over the Internet, or in wire-tapped telephone
conversations.



Much has happened in their absence.  For starters, the Sox have been
eliminated from the playoffs and manager Grady Little has assumed the hot
seat formerly occupied by the WEEI pair.  The Patriots have kept winning,
seemingly against all odds.  And the Celtics have traded Antoine Walker.
Normally, that would be enough to keep a sports talk station going for
weeks, but will listeners want to talk about those topics this morning?  It
will be interesting to follow the chatter.  Bill Griffith, "They Might Still
Be The Talk Of The Town," Boston Globe (ProQuest), Oct. 21, 2003, p D.8
