OT: Official Sports Media Thread IV (TV, Radio, Print) - Jack Edwards' contract extended

[EvilElf63]

(Listening to the Pats game online). It's sad to hear all these Goucher highlights in these 98.5 promos.

Stadium is nothing more than 120 Sports rebranded and they took ASN's contracts on the cheap.

NBC Sports Boston now the new name for CSNNE effective as of midnight yesterday.

Felger talking Bruins for a minute. Said he liked fighting and that the 11 team had 15 guys that could fight and now it's just McQuaid. He misses the violence. Kind of shoved hockey onto the back burner to talk about Malcom Butler.

And 98.5 wonders why they are falling back in the ratings. They have completely forgot about the very group of people who carried them when they started, Bruins fans.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Ummm you don’t attack the people who pay your bills.

 

[EverettMike]

Can't criticize the amoral league and its amoral owners for being amoral assholes. Bill Simmons wasn't even immune from that.

Curt Schilling says hey

Curt Schilling says hey

He wasn't let go for anything related to the NFL, which was my point. Thats the sacred golden calf you can't touch there, even when you're right (like Simmons was), or totally reasonable (like Hill was here).

As for schilling, he was given multiple warnings and decided sharing offensive memes was more important than his high paying job. He made his decision knowing the consequences.

So retweet terroist like Nazis bad, calling the President of the United States and anyone voting for him a white supremisist just gets a suspension. Got it

Dude she is now attacking the people who pay their bills and her ratings are getting beat by TV Land

I'm not doing this, and not just because it's against site rules. Have a good day.

Not sure if this is where this belongs, but this doesn't sound good

Wow, Bedard is about to walk out of Felger and Mazz...

 

[Don Cherry]

Wow, Bedard is about to walk out of Felger and Mazz...

I heard it as well. "So, see you next week?"... maybe

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Wow, Bedard is about to walk out of Felger and Mazz...

Why? What are the details?

 

[smithformeragent]

Why? What are the details?

Bedard has a feature on his site where he does voice over analysis of Patriots plays.

They played a segment of it and played sound effects of Felger and Mazz snoring.

Bedard took off his headset, packed his computer up and just sat there. They tried patching things up a bit with him and he wasn't having any of it. He kept his cool, but if looks could kill.

Felger and Mazz were just impersonating the 98.5 audience of late.

I heard it and it sounded like an awkward situation. I wonder how this will end.

 

[EverettMike]

Happened to be watching (work from home) because the segments with Bedard are usually pretty good.

It was even worse than it sounded. Bedard said he's angry about them potentially alerting the league to something he shouldn't be doing with the footage, not that they were making fun of him for it being kinda monotone.

But if he really wanted to keep something from his website out of the spotlight, he should have made that clear with them from the get-go. His site has really benefited from that show, thought it was poor form from him.

Hopefully he comes back next week in good spirits and they all put it behind them.

Felger made an announcement today that WBZ FM, WZLX, and WBZ AM are all going to have to be divested as part of the entercom/cbs radio sale, so they will not be working with or affiliated with WEEI as a sister station when all is said and done.

Does divested mean they need to be sold off? Those are pretty big stations ratings-wise and would seem to be more valuable than other entercom stations in market
