I hear WBZ has already added a new weekly segment called "Shot for Shot" where Bob Lobel and Bob Kraft go... yes, you guessed it ... shot for shot with shots of Bourbon.

Filmed at CBS Scene of course

Does Lynch stay with the program? He works for ABC so likely they wouldn't give him up too right? So than who would host it?

Steve Burton?

I might be wrong but I think that stigma comes from the way he sounds....and not that he actually has a drinking problem. He has a drunk sound in his voice.

 

[Leave No Doubt]

I always liked Lynchie and he seemed to have a good rapport with BB. BZ and TV38 have Burton,Zolak and DeOssie. Roche also, though he does a lot of Red Sox(?).

This HAS to be somewhat of a blow to ABC/CVB, tho it'll be nice to have one huge Pats line up on 1 station. I hope it's not Burton:bricks:

 

[captain insano]

i like Steve Burton but he is brutal on tv. he should do more radio. he comes across very well on the radio. tv? not so much.

I feel bad for Mike Lynch. He must be sick over the loss of this gig. He also had Mike Reiss and Steve Nelson on, who are much easier to listen to than the Big Show part-timers (Zolak, DeOssie, etal).

Maybe those All Access guests will remain with the show,at least we hope so Mike Reiss should host the Belestrator...

Yeah, Kraft naturally slurs his words so everyone thinks he is blottoed whenever he speaks in public. Watch any Bang Cartoon about the Pats and they have him three sheets to the wind.

LOL Seriously though, there have been times he looked and sounded a lil' snookered,or at least looked and sounded a lot different than at other times lol. But NOBODY can be as bad as the guy from Sam Adams was:eat1:

Even though I do not like Lynch..he did do a stand out spot there...From reading..it seems the parent company that owns WCVB also owns ESPN...(the part that Disney does NOT own..) So might that have something to do with it?? The Hearst Corporation owns the other 20% I believe...Hmmm..IF that is PART of it all...GOOD for the Patriots.

WBZ tv and WSBK (tv 38) are both owned by CBS television. WCVB is an ABC affiliate, and ABC and ESPN are part of Disney Corporation. However, WCVB is not owned by them, they are owned by Hearst-Argyle, which is owned by the Hearst Corporation.

I liked Lynch on that show - he is the ultimate homer.

I love the opening segment where you get to hear and see the back bench stuff going on.

I hope the keep that the same and expand it.

 

[ForThoseAboutToRock]

I watch All Access mostly because of the friendly mood that Lynch is able to bring out of Belichick. I strongly doubt I'll watch the show if the host isn't as good as Lynch.

Maybe they have a football mind do the segment and it could be even better....

I thought Ice Cube owned Disney........or was that Walt Disney is an Ice Cube I always get confused with that.
