OT: Official Sports Media Thread X: WEEI's owner is nearly broke

[McGarnagle]

This isn't true in Massachusetts. In fact, EVERY high school junior, as of this school year, will be required to do an action civics project. We built a whole course around the project at my school. The first half of the year is spent learning how to engage with the decision-makers in our communities to facilitate some sort of change, based on the kids' interests. The second half is spent trying to make the change they want to see.

Action Civics?

That sounds like Campaign 101

I'm glad that didn't exist when I was in high school.

Be nice to teach them a trade, Maybe how to balance a checkbook or how important credit is and how it affects their lives for years.

Not directed at you, just the entire shitty school systems across the nation

Back to sports please.
Thanks

Just went in EEI podcast of shows. Not one show talking about B’s. Just one Bergy retirement title. Unreal. One of the best teams in the us area and all they talk about is the Pats. WEEI is a shit hole and 98.5 just shuts in everything to get ratings. Can we get a decent radio station here in New England?

Both stations are complete shit

You will have to start with an ownership that is powerful enough to prop up a station and willing to do it. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Fenway say the Patriots accounted for 75% of 98.5's advertising revenue? ...Maybe that was CSNNE or whatever they call themselves this month.

So that’s the goal of Sports Talk? Another ownership pushing what they want?

Channel 4 is embarrassing on how they cover the Pats but that comes from CBS corporate in New York

WEEI has the Red Sox - nothing else

Monty was just on T&R with Jaffe. Pretty good stuff.

ESPN recently announced it has signed an extension with the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) on a new, multi-year deal to keep ESPN as the exclusive domestic partner for the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest through 2029.

“You can’t beat the spectacle that is the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest,” says John Suchenski, ESPN Director of Programming & Acquisitions. “It’s a sports calendar and Fourth of July staple, one of those classic, timeless events we know fans look forward to every year. It has had memorable moments over the years, and we’re ecstatic that many more will be on our platforms for the foreseeable future.”

Respect that he up and addressed it with facts.

Football is just a different level of coverage from the NBA and NHL for many reasons (season length, timing of games, scheduled media availability, etc.) Not to mention overall demand and ratings.

 

[Fenway]

I love this podcast

 

[quietbruinfan]

IOW, it is because we say. It is because it has been so. It is because we don't bother with the expense of assigning a beat reporter on the road. It's like a stinking cult.

 

[mikelvl]

For some reason, I turned on Adam Jones after last night's game. Confirming that he is an absolute donkey.

- The Bruins were lucky to win last night
- Taylor Hall is a career underachieving slacker on his fifth team who is finally starting to play hard

I turned it off after that, all negative, just a total sham, mini-Felger DB.

 

[NextBigThing]

I love this podcast

I’m gonna assume no one under the age of 60 listens to them.

I love this podcast

What a crew. Love seeing Lynchie and Lobel looks great. Always liked watching Butch Stearns at 10pm for that true just happened reaction.

Is that Hank Morse of Loren and Wally fame?

If they could just have found a word beginning with "R" to squeeze in between "OF" and "Competitive" they could have used the much more fitting acronym:

IFORCE

Working from home today, have Zolak and Bertrand on in the background. All these clowns talk about is football. They really should call that station The Patriots Hub.

When the station started, they were great because they covered everything. Now they are just another EEI.

Said it before, thank god for podcasts.
