You have GOT to be kidding me… The big show is the weakest WEEI Show??? Have you listened to Dennis and Callahan???Horrible, mean spirited and much to political. The biggest mistake that 98.5 can make (is making) is NOT putting a SPORTS oriented team on the morning drive. I can’t listen to Asshole and Bigger Asshole on WEEI anymore and the 98.5 team is not much better. guess I will stick with Mike and Mike.

I hate the D&C show and think that WBZ has a golden opportunity to take market share if they just put a pure sports show no Politics or other junk… They are missing a huge chance to take a shot at EEI, Dale and Holley are safe as they are clearly the best sports show on the EEI. Not sure if any of you were paying attention when Felger and Meterperel had the show for couple of days but they were surprisingly good, very good. The Morning Drive needs a pure sports show, lets hope that WBZ is smart enough to take advantage here… if they had one chance at shaking up or taking a shot at the Power House EEI it would be the morning show…

You guys are such losers. Whining to each other about the show everyone complains about on here, yet you. still. listen. Turn off the radio and get a life, rather than battling on a message board about 2 guys who hate you.

Yea totally agree on Mazz. I still hear him on the drive time show with Picard on 1120 every once in a while but it would be great to get him on a better signal. In fact I hear a lot of Globe writers on 1120 from 4-6 but the signal is tough in some areas. I said it in an earlier post that first move WBZ should make is get deal with Globe!

I’d like to hear Tony Massarotti on the new station. He is the top baseball writer in town, in my judgment, and his is a voice that should be heard. I particularly like the fact that he will question the local clubs when necessary.

His columns are consistently well-written and extremely well-researched. The knowledge he would bring to the airwaves would be a refreshing change of pace.

Shoe actually did some weekend fill-in work for EEI a few years back. I found him to be decent and non-offensive.

As for Ben Maller, ‘BZ might be wise to hire him for the overnight shift, but let him stay out on the west coast (broadcast from a CBS Radio sister station?) and he can talk national stuff, maybe mixing in a little Boston. Could be a win-win for everyone, as Ben gets to work a decent shift thanks to the time zone difference, and CBS Radio could try syndicating the show on some of their other sports stations.

Remember the golden age of Boston sportsradio on Saturday mornings, when EEI gave us ‘Ted and Fred’ (that’s what I said)? You got an intelligent less jaded Ted and a remarkably coherent non-political Fred. Did it get any better? Oh yeah, and I think you had Buckley’s ‘Quality Hang’ as the lead-in.

You do have to give Dakota credit for one thing, LJ. While his radio show only lasted on the air for two months, I believe those two months were September and October of 2004. Let’s face it, if any of us could’ve ever gotten (or paid for) our own gig, that had to be one of the best times in Boston sports history to do it.
