Zolak and Bertrand is far superior to a show featuring Christian Fauria. A mystery how that guy has held on in his position.

Also, people might hate Felger but him not having patience with callers is his best attribute. Sports talk callers are the worst aspect of sports talk radio. They absolutely suck. Most shows are better off not taking any calls at all.


Wallach has no talent. Hardy has talent. He took the money in this new gig. It's Fred's show so whoever was joining him was always following his lead. Hardy is going from a #3 guy to a #2 and I am sure it will take time for him to settle in. Even if the show doesn't end up working I think that will be more on Fred than Hardy.
Got it. Was not sure what Hardy’s gig is. Fred dominates/ talks over him. I guess the hope is Fred just Fcks up again and gets canned because he is horrible.

The only issue I have with how they handle callers was they promised no "celebrity callers" but they still have some regulars, all of whom f***ing suck.

do any of our local beat writers even travel for road games anymore? might explain why none of them get any scoops and why they’ll be replaced by AI

We’re going to go backwards where people have to show up in person so people don’t think it’s AI

Just started listening to today's Kirk Minihane show. Kirk has been told that there's going to be a lot of moving around at WEEI. The big talk going around is that Gresh is going to be moved to Afternoon drive and he'll be joined by Rich Shertenlieb.

f***en Gresh??? My god! Not sure there’s anyone worse. Looks like I’ll be listening to Felger.

Imagine you have a chance to get Rich, who is probably the only needle mover you could hire at this point, and pair him up with Gresh.

Seems absolutely insane, but this is WEEI we're talking about.

I wonder if it's a money thing and they can't afford to pay big bucks for a needle mover. I won't throw out the specific figure in case it's accurate, but Kirk seemed convinced that Gresh doesn't make a ton of money for an on-air personality and mentioned a number that surprised me. He also said that Rich will make nowhere near what he made at 98.5.
