While never what I would call compelling ... there was a time when WEEI was decent before 98.5 started.
In spite of the politics in the morning ... there would always be at least 1 interview starting in the morning which was nice.
They lined up other interviews throughout the day and those were usually interesting to hear other coaches, players, GM's and media people.
If you listened in the morning they would announce the interviews for the day - so you were either interested or not.
Then advertising dollars dropped and they trimmed their budgets and the interviews went away.
They lost the Celtics so there's rarely any basketball or puck talk ... and they are supposed to be a sports show go figure.
They talk Patriots or Red Sox and it's more gossip chatter as opposed to nuts and bolts talk.
WEEI went through a stale period (Mike Salk era) and then they morphed into the crap they are now.
I used to tune in from time to time but generally found it like nails on a blackboard - gossip, shock crap and banal chatter.
I could give a **** what they are up to - like I said I liked the interviews and without those it's just banal noise.
If it's a compelling sports talk day I sometimes listen for 30 minutes or so in the early or late afternoon ... but 30 minutes is all I can stand.
How is it that you're a sports talk show but you can only handle 1 major topic of the day.
Felger is annoying but he at least will talk all 4 major local sports and sometimes even the Revolution.
I can tolerate Felger's trolling if he is at least on topic and discussing other possible angles to a story.
If 98.5 would can Mazz Felger would have a much better show ... Mazz is the worst ... a professional whining ... annoying ... asswiper.
