Well that is better than andelman....What are you talking about? They talk sports all the time. They are the go to guys if you want to hear about:
- Mike Sandusky and Penn State
- Lance Armstrong and doping
- Mante Teo and his imaginary girlfriend
- Gronk's partying (although Zo went overboard with that today)
- Ray Lewis and deer antller spray
- Curt Schilling and him conning RI out of millions
- ARod PED scandal
That's wall to wall sports talk right there. There isn't a radio station who has mastered the non-sports sports talk than WEEI.
I think we are all missing the point on what we had here with Ordway and WEEI. Yes, they have lost their way a bit a few years back and lost touch with the viewership. I think, of late, they have actually done a great job. Ratings and good sports radio don't go hand in hand, especially in this town of late. For christ sakes, 98.5 has two music junkeys and a re-tread flash boy who does nothing but annoyingly laugh at their every word. I'm not the biggest D&C fan, but it's pathetic that the listenership in this town gravitates towards Toucher and Rich. That's not sports radio.
Quite simply, Ordway is a legend in this town when it comes to sports. The sports media in this town is not the same without him.
And 98.5 doesn't beat topics to death? They don't talk over callers? They don't put on moronic callers? They aren't "smug" and arrogant? Have you heard Felger speak? You must be listening to the classical music station on 99.5 if that's what your hearing.
Well that is better than andelman....

Given that you were claiming Felger and Mazz to be better when they didn't have better ratings, I'll simply say it again and I'll leave it at that:
You know full well that ratings don't tell you who the better host is.
I never got the amount of hate for Ordway. I felt he was fine as a radio host. The folks that EEI needs to can are Dennis and Callahan. I refuse to listen in the AM, which is unfortunate because I really am not a fan of toucher and rich.
Until WEEI becomes something other than a few minutes of sports talk between commercials it'll remain irrelevant.
I timed it once, during an hour of my drive home there was 12 minutes of "sports talk" surrounded by 40 minutes of commercials and then an 8 minute long wiener whiner line.

Maybe local sports talk radio is just not as successful as it used to be no matter who's plugged in. I listen to very little of it and prefer a national theme.
