Glenn Ordway Biography

Glenn Ordway is one of the most popular and richest Athlete who was born on January 16, 1951 in Massachusetts, United States. Glenn Ordway (born January 16, 1951) is an American sports radio and television personality based in the Boston, Massachusetts area. He is a former commentator for the Boston Celtics radio broadcasts. He hosted WEEI-FM’s The Big Show until February 15, 2013. On March 17, 2014 he launched “The Big Show Unfiltered”; on SportstalkBoston.com. Ordway had broadcast on ESPN New Hampshire Radio Nashua/Manchester from June 2014 until May 2015 when he left The Big Show. Ordway then left ESPN NH unannounced to return to WEEI 10a-2p week days. Ordway is originally from Lynn, Massachusetts; he graduated from Lynn Classical High School. Ordway is back on WEEI as of September 8, 2015, as part of a midday show with Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria.

In December 2006, the New England Patriots revoked season tickets purchased by Fred Smerlas. Smerlas had been in a partnership with Ordway in a company that hosts $250-a-head tailgate parties at Patriot games. The cost of the package increased to $625 – $750 if the customer wanted a game ticket with a face value of $125. The Patriots determined that the service violated its policy prohibiting season ticket holders from reselling their tickets to third parties except through the team’s own ticket exchange, where sellers are required to charge face value. Both Ordway and Smerlas denied money was made on the resale of tickets.

On March 3, 2008, Ordway called into The Big Show to explain his absence from the show for the past three airings. His wife, Sarah, had just given birth to a baby girl, Mia, at Boston’s Children’s Hospital, and both mother and daughter had suffered severe complications during delivery.

Ordway announced on his December 11, 2008, show that he would be going on vacation for the rest of the month as his contract with Entercom Communications was set to expire on December 31, and that he was not sure if he would be returning to the air after his vacation. Ordway’s contract negotiations may have been affected by Entercom financial problems. The company risked being delisted by the New York Stock Exchange because its stock price had dipped below a dollar.

Ordway is known for his thirteen years as a member of the Boston Celtics’ radio broadcast team. After seven years as the number-two announcer alongside longtime Celtics play-by-play man Johnny Most, Ordway took over as the Celtics’ primary announcer in 1989, a post he held until 1996. During this period, he appeared as himself in an episode of the long running Boston based sitcom Cheers.
