Ted Johnson hired by 98.5

[Tunescribe]

Nice addition to the airwaves. Looks like he'll be a utility fill-in guy; right now he's on with Zolak. Great Patriots talk from those two.

I always liked ted. Should be a good addition, not that I listen to 98.5 down here in Texas much.

You can get it on your computer, pretty much any time. Link: Listen to 98.5 The Sports Hub on TuneIn

Oh, I know, and I may do that occasionally. I just never seem to have the time.

He had a show in Houston, what happened?

He moved back here to be near family.

I like Ted and think he brings a lot to the table. Hopefully he doesn’t develop a shtick like so many Boston sports radio personalities do.

Meathead radio (meant in a good way)

His stories and dialogues carry a lot of weight so I like them

Great move to grab listeners, there is a big pot, just waiting to be stirred.

Any takers on an over under for how long into 2019 this gig lasts? Was the Wilfork wife situation a one time thing, or are they hoping to get this guy going nonstop with nonsense?

 

[Froob]

Hasn’t he been kind of a **** since he retired?

 

[ErniesPinkStripes]

Cool addition.. I wonder if he still has hard feelings against BB/Pats, guess not if willing to take this gig

He bad mouthed VWs wife, Bianca. Not cool.

Johnson speaks his mind and to work at that station embraces the contrarian viewpoint.

Can't help but to think of the helmet story whenever I see his name (broke his helmet in two).

Once he's been at 98.5 a while I'm sure he will. Remember that at least in the past he's been very, very critical of NE over the concussion thing, so I'm sure 98.5 will get that reactivated.

I actually listened a bit today... lots of listeners calling in to connect with Ted. One had a son in the children's hospital once... Ted visited the hospital that day to see kids, hugged the man, and told him his son would be back on his feet in no time.

Very nice. I mean, not as nice as Squeaky and the Douche, but...

I love this. I've been listening to him the last week filling in for the regular clowns. ill take ted and the weekend 98.5 hosts minus big Jim's show anytime. over Felger and spaz or two chin beattle. they suck. the best show is still 2 to 6 weei omf.

After the Wilfork incident there was word that Ted was suffering symptoms of head trauma (violent at home) and then I remember him being critical of the Patriots for pressuring him to practice after concussions.

Is my memory correct?

 

[Patjew]

I recently heard him say that Gronk's issues this year are directly linked to BB benching Butler in the SB.

Then I changed the station.
