I had to tune in to portions of the game on WBCN, and this is the first time in a couple years I've needed to do so. Wow. Gil and Gino are really, really unfit for this job any more. Media has a habit of fawning over their 'veterans' long past their expiration dates (see: Jack Williams, Bob Lobel, et al). I totally respect Gino and Gil for years of excellent and informed radio coverage, but the duo is just plain old now and several steps behind the listener when they really need to be several steps ahead. Give them their gold watches and move on. Please. Thanks to the complications of the ice storm, Sunday was not a normal ‘sit-in-front-of-the-TV-and-watch-the-Patriots’ day.
