The few times I've flipped to 98.5 (it's actually not 98.7) I've heard amateur-sounding hosts, a lot of references to each other, and bad comedy pieces. So it's pretty much like 'EEI with a little less patting-themselves-on-the-back, a little less yelling, and a little less blowhardery.
I'll give them time since they're young, but on a 1-10 scale here I think we're talking a 2 (WEEI) vs. a 3 ("Sports Hub").
Bottom line: if I happen to catch either station interviewing a player or coach, it's good radio. Otherwise, I only listen for sports ticker updates and home-team games.
