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

[CHRDANHUTCH]

That would be awful.

Maybe Merloni can go to NESN and they can off Massarotti!

(A guy can dream)

YOU have "Talkin' Baseball" OVER on NBCSB, in play during the season

 

[DKH]

Boy, I thought Felger was the biggest dink in Boston air, Adam Jones has him beat. Yesterday Felger was on defense against Jones concerning the B’s. Wow.

It’s all schtick which is why buyer beware - Jones actually is pretty sharp but his opinions on air aren’t real so why listen

Nilan update

In 2022, he was fired from his Off the Cuff hosting position by Bell Media after he refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19.[3]

Nilan Currently hosts his own Podcast "The Raw Knuckles Podcast"

Current WEEI management is baffling to me. Ratings are down so let people go and bring in people who are worse. Almost seems like they want to fail.

 

[chizzler]

I wonder if Merloni sees the writing on the wall and is jumping ship to the Sox.

Ya that's what strikes me about Merloni. Maybe people disagree but I really think he was the best they had over there. Granted I don't listen to them very much but when I see Merlon on BST with Felger I always watch that segment. He can be critical when necessary but isn't over the top either. Opinionated, decent sense of humor.

he was a budget casualty- he wasn’t looking to leave

I been listening and he said he liked what he was doing but was let go

Glenn Ordway will be back on afternoon drive.

Him and Holley were the best recently. Fauria stays, WTF. Go back to Cali…..

Totally agree there. I think Fauria is awful.

Why would anyone want to work at this station?

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Both stations are now guaranteed to be nothing but football talk from 10-2 now.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Why would anyone want to work at this station?

Or listen to it? I can abide Toucher and Rich in the morning on 98.5, now will avoid all local sports radio with exception of Saturday hockey show and the actual Red Sox games on EEI

Toucher and Rich has morphed into Fred Toucher therapy session and Rich carefully and respectfully trying to minimize it

You don't know what you are missing. Of course, my parents used to tell me that about creamed corn. ...

All the best to him, he hung on for awhile, but Mut was one of the worst hosts in the history of that station. Can't imagine it's great for Keefe having to do nights with little kids at home.

I used to be a rabid WEEI listener. Those days are long, long gone.

It all came crashing down 13 years ago when 98.5 started and once Minihane imploded 4 years ago nothing seems to work.

WEEI has the Red Sox until 2028 so they will limp along. I suspect they will focus on sports betting once Massachusetts flips the switch as early as next month.

 

[smithformeragent]

Screw EEI.

Rich works his ass off, and I like Wallach, but it’s clear that Fred couldn’t give two shits. He’s going through the motions.

That show used to be awesome. I loved when they’d have Goucher on.

I could do without some of the weird shit they discuss. It feels like a chore sometimes for them to talk sports.

Felger and Mazz are kings of the market.
Gold standard.

Trolling is the Gold Standard LOL!!!

 

[smithformeragent]

Oh, absolutely.

They know what they are and they embrace it.

As I have stated before. Three trolling schadenfreude's with the tone of having a heated argument with their wives an hour before the show.

But if you enjoy it, all the best to you. To each their own.

The higher ups at WEEI have no one to blame but themselves for their horrible ratings. They bowed down to Bob Murchison and to a lesser extent Sam Kennedy.

NHL99: Patrice Bergeron conducts a master class in defensive wizardry

Metronomic, non-negotiable and rigorous pursuit of 200-foot sublimity has made Bergeron perhaps the best defensive forward in NHL history.
