Honestly Mazz has gotten worse than Felger. Maybe it's because he's such a doofus.

The Pats astonishing SB victory shut those 2 up for a while and I relished listening to them being forced to praise Brady, Belichick and our New England Patriots.

"The Patriots were definitely doing something."

That's right, they were playing good football and winning championships, and not being stupid or arrogant about it.

Which constitutes cheating to many, including the NFL and local and national media who've been dumping on the Patriots for generations.

For a long time, I was bothered by the fact that I didn't have access to New England sports radio, since I live in Pennsylvania.

After a few years on this board seeing posts like this so often, showing how awful New England sports radio actually is, I've kind of realized I'm lucky I don't have access.

I don't understand. Local media has to stink here.

It's like the Canadiens, Rangers, Black Hawks and Red Wings wear their classic, traditional, recognizable uniforms.

The Bruins had the best uniforms - and the best team - in the early 70's, and then - for reasons only flying elvis knows - they ruined them, apparently forever, in September of 1974.

Apologies in advance here for starting another Boston sports media gripe fest: Can someone please explain to me the appeal of these two and how they've managed to last eight years on the air with 98.5? I've tried multiple times to give them a chance and each time is an epic fail -- they talk sports only about a third of the time and exhibit little insight or knowledge. Otherwise it's just random blather about minor nothings. Fred Toucher acts/talks like he's half-asleep and Rich Shertenlieb always is giggling like an over-caffeinated frat boy about unfunny things. No talent, no chemistry. Certainly no news or entertainment value. I just don't get it. Perhaps it's a generational thing I'm missing, but it's the worst radio of any kind I've ever heard (and seen on simulcast TV), sports or otherwise. Also, what's with Toucher wearing Detroit Tigers gear all the time?

It isn't sports talk radio. Neither is Kirk and Callahan. Why not? Who knows? Apparently the thought is this town can't support a sports talk show in morning drive time. I don't know if it was tried and failed.

I stopped listening to them. No matter how bad Dale and Holley can be - even hypothetically- I'll never go back.

Listen to podcasts people! You're wasting your life if you're still letting sports radio of all things have a daily presence.

There is so much good content out there, you'll learn something (sports-related or otherwise), there is much less advertising, and you will be less stressed out at having to listen to these idiots. Give it a try.

It's not about a logo.

It's about a team, a franchise with a unique history of heroes, being trashed in the name of ignorance and stupidity.

By doing what? What exactly, other than change the logo? If you're not mad about the logo--not mad but actually find this all very funny--then why do you start up your clown college advertisements in the middle of a thread about yakking dolts? The posts you've made in this thread have nothing at all to do with the subject matter. You post the same thing every few days without fail. It is a dullard's topic--nobody else cares about your obsession with corporate brand stamps.

You would be happier with a team that had zero superbowl victories and Mark Sanchez wearing the Pat Patriot uniform.

I love Kirk and Callahan myself. Listen every morning on my jogs.....

I love that they only talk sports part of the time (especially this time of year) so I won't bash Toucher and Rich for that part...

But the difference? Kirk and Callahan talk about politics and interesting newsworthy topics where as Toucher and Rich talk about butt rock and middle school level comedy.

Incase you change your mind there are doZens of free radio apps for your phone or tablet that would give you access to every station in America
