OT: WEEI is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic again

[Family]

What about Guy Mainella?

That was when sports talk was great!

Sure. But I am not sure I am a great "pointers" guy. I founded and run two medical device companies, which does include pretty extensive marketing, but I am not sure that is the same as Sports Radio. But feel free to send your audition along.

I will work that into my bit. I will "inject" a little life into Boston sports radio. "Hey EEI. Are your ratings flatlining? Let 203Pat defibrillate your station and get your callers heartbeats booming!"

I am sure my showmanship will be lighting up the radio waves in no time.

I now live in NC. All the shows on both stations have their shows available as podcasts. Each hour is its own podcast. It is the best ways to listen to any of the shows. You can pick and choose what segments you listen to and avoid ones you don't care about. Even if I was still living in Mass, it would be the only way I would listen to any show on either station. You have to wait an hour or two for them to post each hour, but it is well worth the wait.

Agreed. I’m in Boston but that’s what I do unless I’m in my car in which I’ll actively listen to Felger & Mazz on the radio. Otherwise the podcasts are nice, can skip all the commercials or any topics you don’t care for.

I even listen to the podcasts in the car. I haven't listened to actual radio in years.

You are a natural. You should make a tape.

eh, i used to listen to WFAN out of new yawk... Mike & The Mad Dog were really freaking good...

Mainly because the ole' AC Delco in my Caprice Classic was AM only...

always thought Boston sports talk was a step below those guys... but when it hit its stride, the Big Show was pretty damn good...

"Calling All Sports" on WBZ, Westinghouse Broadcasting Company, AM 1030 on the dial, must listening every early evening driving home from work. Used to look very forward to it

Jesus i was so ****ing pumped when i heard gresh and fauria were out and Jones was leaving the afternoon show.

Keefe is great, and i was hoping he'd get paired with meggo. Going to be interesting to see if keefe can elevate jones, because jones is absolute trash. Walmart version felger.

Gresh and Fauria had turned into boob and conspiracy theory nonsense.

The morning show still sucks so i won't be listening.

Apparently Pete lost Florida gig in October last year ... do not see any news after that.

Frank from "Glostah" was a great call in ...huge Yankee fan and gambler.
Would famously say "I layed big coin".
Always butchered the English language ... has park bench dedicated to him.

Wasn't Eddie Andelman on the Titanic?

Big Show was definitely good and for a long time the best sports talk show in Boston. I liked Ordway too but he would often interrupt and there was a lot of talking over each other which was occasionally grating.

I think they put Jones with Keefe so he can call him on his stupid takes. The thing I get out of this is how the hell are Felger and Mazz number one, can't listen to that show, never could,

they are number one because the competition they have been up against has been abysmal.

You had OMF, Ordway was ordway, but Lou was contrarian for everything except the redsox, and Fauria would rather talk about boobs and literally anything else, the dude is a meat head. Then they lost the one good part in ordway and it was Lou and Fauria, and they added Meggo, so now you have 2 guys who shouldn't headline a show, and meggo who has energy and can kind of blend in with whoever, but when you're blending in with trash you end up with trash.

So they dumped lou and move fauria to mid day with fellow meat head gresh and the midday show became nearly unlistenable because one of the two meat heads would go on a rant about absolutely nothing sports related or interesting. Meggo gets paired up with Jones who is the generic sugarfree, no additive, might as well not exist version of Felger, and hes got all these luke warm takes and has a voice that is hard to listen to, and to the shock of no one they absolutely dumpster the ratings. I'd rather listen to a blowhard like Felger who i know is antagonizing people on purpose then have to listen to Jones do a mediocre impression of it. I can hate listen to Felger, I don't even want to stop on the station when Jones is on.

Keefe is still the top dawg, but Jones could probably ruin that as well. I'd rather keefe gets paired with Meggo or Fitzy.

I think Andy hart and Arcand has the potential to be super one note, but we'll see what happens.

Never liked Fauria. I'm glad hes gone. Gresh too.

Jones needs a stepstool to reach the bathroom sink. Shrimp

Funny they put Rich Keefe back in the rotation. The most boring radio personality I’ve ever listened to.

Haha, very true. Didn’t they host a show together? The equivalent of watching paint dry.
