OT: Official Sports Media Thread XII: Rich Shertenlieb fired from WZLX

I don’t listen to any morning show at this point.

I’ll throw Felger and Mazz on for a segment in the afternoon, but have been listening to more Mad Dog Russo lately.

I liked Toucher and Rich together. I don't like Toucher or Rich separately. The drama leading up to their breakup at least had me tuning in out of curiosity, but I haven't really gone out of my way to listen to them since. I occasionally put on Toucher and Hardy if there's a noteworthy sports thing going on (which have been few and far between since the Celtics won), listened to the premiere episode of Rich, but that's it. Otherwise I'm checked out.

Even among sports radio hosts, Fred Toucher seems like a massive DB which says a lot in an industry littered with guys like Minehan, Callahan, Cowherd, and so on.

He's like a dude obsessed with a spouse years after a divorce. Hey Fred, your industry is dying.

Pretty bizarre to have plug pulled already but three sports shows in AM always seemed like one too many. I would think whoever is running WEEI will make a run at Rich now. They reunited Jones and Keefe from Sports Hub days. Surely Rich would be better than Arcand and Hart?

I was in the car later than usual and Mego was on WEEI at 6pm. How she doesnt have a full time show is beyond me. Especially with all the blowhards on at other times.

Toucher and Hardy is nothing but sports segments with writers to let them do the talking of actual sports, complaining about Bill Belichick, sometimes David Lee Roth and all of it circling back to Fred and his life. Hardy and John sit around and listen and chuckle.
