I think it’s hilarious there are people defending his elitist attitude based on the quality of WEEI callers and listeners. You are in the same group as those people. You can’t seriously tell me you listen “just for McAdam”. Frankly, that’s impossible.

Only reason I listen to EEI is when he is on, because he brings something about baseball to the table. His contacts must be real close to the team he is usually on the ball with facts.

His Projo work is worth reading too.

I think McAdam is one of the more knowledgeable baseball guys around I really enjoy his writing. I think the reason some people are turned off by his “ego” on WEEI is he gets fed up with the nitwit callers and their nitwit ideas.

I’m suprised by some of the comments about McAdams being arrogant and pompous. To me he is one of the most listenable personalities on WEEI. No arrogance whatsoever. The guy knows his baseball and needs to be on WEEI’s Baseball Show more often.

Comparing him to the other media folks out there, McAdams know at least as much or more about the Red Sox than anyone else in the media. He’s professional and in my opinion is not a self promoting, me me me type of guy like Butch Stearns. On WEEI he thoroughly answers questions from callers and is knowledgeable and professional. If he does appear on many media outlet progams, he’s low key about it. I don’t find myself getting sick of listening to his analysis and seeing him on WEEI. He’s definitely not a dominating, self serving personality.

My only negative of him is that he sometimes provides too much insight into an answer from a caller…and he goes on too long. He might be a tad long winded.

the only real annoyance I have with Sean is his habit of throwing EVERY bit of information he knows on a subject into every explanation of his analysis.(kinda like an intelligent, well-spoken Pete Sheppard). I know that sometimes it’s good to lay out a situation in layman’s terms for the average-to-below average fan to grasp, but damn, Sean, just give us the Cliff Notes answer! Poster boy for the run-on sentence!

I can only hope that the same people who go off on McAdams for his political views will be on board when the inevitable pig piling of Callahan and Smerlas begins because both of those gentlemen are FAR worse.

At one time he was part of the best 4 hours of sports radio talk in boston but then they brought Mikey Adams and his two year old maturity level onto the Sunday morning baseball show which almost overnight made it maybe the worst 4 hours of radio in Boston.

Really knows his stuff but isn’t in-your-face about it. Civil to callers and co-hosts on the Big Show which is a refreshing change compared with most of the yelling there.
