This is what the Felger and Hardy show was all about for the 3 minutes I could stand it. Making fun of the Pats for signing a special teams guy when the only thing that could assuage them would be signing Lamar Jackson. Hardy was positively giddy with his bashing.
They are all taking it up to the next level. It isn't about "simulating" the audience, or even being contrarian. It's now all about PROVOKING your audience and finally insulting them directly.
Sports shows became popular in this city because we have a rich history in our 4 major sports franchises and we CARE about sports AND the teams we support with our hard earned dollars. And because it's our hard earned dollars we have the right to question every decision our GM's and coaches and players make. That's what we do HERE. HOWEVER these guys were literally LAUGHING at us for our support.
Once again it is was all about THEM. Where are the big name signings that will bring clicks and calls for THEIR benefit. Who cares if there were VERY few big names this year for ANYONE to sign let alone the Pats. "I demand some excitement, and I DEMAND it now!"
It's really know enough to call and complain. It's not enough to simply turn it off for my own mental stability. The only way to fix this marketing strategy (and that is all it is) is to get in contact with the ownership and their sponsors. To that end I stayed a few minutes longer than I normally could so I could jot down the names of a few sponsors so I could drop them a line to let them know that would NEVER consider buying their product as long as they sponsor these shows.
I used to LOVE to listen to sports radio, I'd like to do so again and the only way we all will be able to do that again will be when the ****head marketing types decide its in their best interests to make a product worth listening to for the sports fans of the citY,
OK RANT OVER I feel better now. Carry on,
