can someone explain why 98.5 airs fuckin Notre Dame games of all the college teams? is there a massive ND following up here or something? I can't think of one thing I want to listen to less when I'm at work than a Notre Dame football game

It's Beasley saying well, they are all Irish and Catholic in Boston and why should we pay for Joe Murray to be in on the weekends in the fall. I'd rather they play local college hockey but whatever.

To which I say, more Joe Murray, more Christian Arcand, and more Big Jim Murray.

I love Chris Arcand. It was so great when he was filling in for all of Adam Jones' slots.

jim worry has been getting on my nerves lately, so much so i moved half way across the country and haven't listened to these idiots lately. but tomorrow.....tomorrow is going to be a good day.

ETA: Also they were playing ND games well before Beasley showed up, it's seriously just Irish Catholic Boston/Worcester making it happen.

I get that but on the other hand, I'd rather that the anything on WEEI. Honestly the whole 98.5/SportsHub line up is pretty great because they are willing to challenge the teams and their bullshit and especially Felger and Mazz. Though, I admit Fred Toucher has been a bit more neurotic and miserable lately.

He's got great chemistry with Jones too. I used to think that Keefe was carrying Jones for a bit but then after Cattles, I realized that Jones was actually a decent host who needs someone who cares just a little less about sports and have fun with the format.

tuned in now, subdued whiny zo, best zo. by far.

ETA: Also, to clarify, nobody wants to listen to the open racists at WEEI. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy (touchdown tom).

Rogue0071: Dec 8, 2009; Grey Hunter's next target.

I tuned into WEEI briefly while flipping through stations today and the first thing I heard was some bullshit about Colin Kaepernick not caring about football. I then remembered why I don't listen to WEEI.

I was listening to WEEI today too) because I could not possibly give less of a gently caress about 98.5's all day constant college football) and heard zero content, all I heard were two guys arguing with each other about which one does a better radio show? They spent easily an hour talking at length about each other's merits. What the gently caress goes on at WEEI? The last four times I've tuned it, I have heard 100% bullshit and 0% sports talk. How anyone can stand listening to hours of pure nonsense is just beyond me. There's hardly any sports (unless you're tuning into Kirk and Callahan in primetime I guess) and as far as talk radio goes, it's probably significantly shittier than anything your local morning zoo puts out.

All I wanted to do at work today was listen to something halfway decent and all I got was garbage. Stupid work vehicle doesn't even do HD Radio so I can't tune into any bonus simulcasts or anything either. If they didn't carry Sox games, I doubt anyone outside of the deep red New Hampshire bits would listen. It's Diet Limbaugh.

E: I know I'm like, really loving late on this take lol, bear with me. I just got into sports radio within the last 6 months due to my job and needing something a little more cerebral than music to listen to, so I'm still a little new to the scene

My favorite thing with Pipo is him playing Dan the same way Dave Chappelle plays the white broadcaster. Billy could do a whole segment as fake Dan and fake Stu.

Speaking of which, I didn't know 'til recently that Guillermo Mafia was real. Going to get one of those Miami Machetes shirts.
