I was looking for any support of this guy. Looks like I found more of the same that we all who are Sirius listeners have now experienced.
http://www.siriusfootballheads.org/daforums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=115

He went off on a couple of Sirius regular callers who complained about his abrasive way of doing a show (on my website) and grouped us in as no-life idiots. He’s proud of 11 years of being who he is and proudly and LOUDLY proclaimed he won’t change.
I see that he indeed treats women as with disrespect. He commented on air after a local gal who is a Pats fan (who is interning on his show that night) gave her story on how she got the job with Sirius, that all she had to do is wear a low cut blouse and she would have got the job.

I even made the mistake of complementing him when he started, but as some of you already posted, it got real old—real fast. We are proud Sirius Football listeners and consider Sirius the ultimate in talking and understanding the game. He has no business on that channel no more than the Man show, that Kimmel used to do, being on NFL Network.

Saw that loud mouth sports NFL expert talking to two guys at PC at the Newport Creamery on Smith St at Lunch today. I almost thought his 80 lb fat arm was going to knock over my ice cream coffe frapp and his 400 lb body took the entire booth! Anyway, I’m so glad he is off the air, as he always knocks down woman like they are secondary citizens as sex trophies and talking about foxy lady clubs, etc., while he’s married like a school kid. He’s a yeller and says nothing that is new or isn’t already in the news. There is nothing original or likeable about him. I never listened to that sports station because of him (and I always did religiously) and his foul mouth talking, and his voice is like a scratchy blackboard with nails going across it! Maybe he’s in line to help PC out? He stood up and looked right at me but I don’t think he’s seeing too clearly after that Lasik surgery of his. I noticed he went way downhill after that Lasik surgery. Maybe he’s a bad outcome. Hehe! No, kidding. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone!

There is a reason that Gresh’s show in Providence and the entire Score AM-FM station tanked. You can only talk so much college sports in the New England market. Also, listeners don’t tune in to hear Gresh and Zo’s continual fart jokes.

Andy is good on ESPN and Zo does well in his new WEEI spots. Maybe it was the station management at The Score that dictated the childish conversation. It became evident that The Score was on the decline when they released Coach Colletto.

For those that bash WEEI, they give the listener what they want: meaningful and insightful sports talk and guests. To all the for Score hosts, good luck in the future.

As for Cordeshi, trying to push your college sports radio voice career also played a factor in the demise of The Score. Way too many lineup changes over the years. You had a good thing going but ultimately ruined it!

Fill-in? I believe ESPN radio has given Andy Andy his own weekend show. Whaddup widdat??? Apparently fat, drunk and stupid is a pretty good way to go through life.

According to the 2007 URI Football Media Guide, which lists all-time lettermen at URI, Andy Gresh did letter in football at URI in 1994 and 1995:

Since he was a senior in high school in 1991, 1994 and 1995 would probably have been his junior and senior years at URI. So I’d guess he did play 4 years and actually got onto the field his last two years:

I heartily endorse the comment by Scott Wedman. I drive ’snowbird’s’ cars North and South and found him a good listen on ESPN radio but whenever he is on Comcast Sports Net I truly turn the channel. He is UNWATCHABLE.

Interestingly enough, he is unlistenable and obnoxious on Comcast and whatever local stuff he does, but very good on ESPN Radio.
