I asked this in the GDT but is there any services/subscriptions that offer iso-cam options for players?

not that I'm aware of for any sport.... except what NASCAR and THE Networks allow you to see on camera...between that and the spotter audio

They should add Alex Kramer to that WEEI mid-day show. She's as bad as Gresh.

Does anyone have recommendations for a Boston sports based podcast? There is only so much of Sports Hub/WEEI I can take.

I wasn't crazy about his Cam Newton cheerleading (which went dark when things fell apart), but Chad Finn has a sensible take on overly demanding Boston sports fans,

This isn't Boston, of course, but still thought it was cool. Dan Shugart has been the Pensacola sportscaster for the same news station for 40 years.... Don't see that very often.

NHL Network big game for Sunday is Devils vs Pens. One big Crosby fluff piece.
Don't get me wrong, I like Crosby. But there are other players/teams.

Meanwhile there is a battle of Florida.

Greg Bedard supposedly does a pretty good podcast.

“It’s part ‘audio,’ it’s part ‘audacious’ and it’s part ‘odyssey,'” David Field, chairman of the Philadelphia-based company, explained to news anchor Steve Scott on New York’s WCBS. “That’s the derivation of the name.”

Whether it will resonate with listeners and advertisers or join the corporate ash heap with “tronc” and other famous flops, the rebranding marks the latest effort by a legacy media company to remain relevant. The new name is intended to encompass broadcasting, podcasting, digital, network, live experiences, music sports and news.

Saying the company’s old name “no longer fits,” Field told his hometown Philadelphia Inquirer: “Entercom reflected radio only. We’ve outgrown it. It’s broader than that, and it also didn’t fit our aspirations.

“We have transformed into a fundamentally different and dramatically enhanced organization and so it is time to embrace a new name and brand identity.”

With 230 radio stations in 47 markets, Audacy is the nation’s second-largest commercial radio broadcaster behind iHeart Media (which changed its name from Clear Channel Communications in 2014).

I was so excited to get FuboTV with the NHL network, because YouTubeTV didn't carry it. Love Rupp, Weekes ,Grimson and others. But is Brian Lawton married to Bettmans daughter or something? My god he is horrible. He's an analyst but provides no real analysis. Hard to watch.

Bring back Fred and Johnny. To this day, I still remember Johnny stressing the importance of the snapshot and backhand shots. Yes I'm that old.

Most of what WEEI does could be described as Audacity, so it's a very fitting name

There is a reason CBS bailed from the radio business but they were worried they couldn't find a sucker to buy
