iam listening to it now and their show so much better than the WEEI crap.
They are talking pats/colts. Very balanced talk . they keep saying they dont like BB but say he is a great coach and in the post season he becomes even better. Take a listen if you'd like , they are NYC based but much easier on the ears than the shriek fest of john dennis on WEEI

Since I moved to CT I I started listening to WFAN. Most of the guys on WEEI (e.g., Glen, Fred) are utterly intolerable IMO. Callers on the FAN are thoroughly screened then have a few seconds to make an intelligent point or they are vanquished. Sure they are NYers, but all in all, much more pleasurable and informative. Makes WEEI sound embarassingly bush league by comparison.

Other than Michael Holley, discussions in Gillette bathrooms do the same. They are terrible.

I would say New York fans are some of the most objective fans out there. There first instinct is definitely hatred and jealousy, but it is not blind homerism. This generally makes their talk radio a little bit more enjoyable.

THANK YOU! I've been looking for a good internet radio station.

Yup - I agree 100%. I live in NJ so I don;t get to hear WEEI but WFAN definitely is enjoyable and callers/hots make really good points. It also helps that Russo is a die hard Yankee hater - gives teh show a bit more spice.

Is Steve Somers still on? Best sports talk radio host ever.

He's on in the evening. He is definitely a witty host.

Dont get excited , the Mike and the Mad Dog show, which is a good balance, does focus on the Yankees and baseball alot... But I do like both guys ,even thought they hate Belichick and Kraft...
