I'll defend Lynch. He is ideal for that program because he doesn't try to be the story: he's amiable and unintrusive but he is enthusiastic about the game and the team and knowledgeable enough to ask the simple questions needed to get his guests talking.
Ah, Charlie's! An excellent place! I've only been there once. It was on the night when New Hampshire played in their championship game and there was plenty of blue-collar enthusiasm for football (although, of course, it may have been some of our local intellectuals cruising -- what do I know?  ) I arrived there after an evening drinking club soda while my friends had considerably more. Then, as we ate burgers and fries, I had one beer. And the next morning I was the one who had a hang-over! No fair!
Actually, as I type, you've given me a good idea. If I get finished at work, perhaps I'll head down there later on. (Of course, if I browse Patsfans.com instead of getting on with things, I won't be there any time soon ..
