Love Gammons, love Schefter. I’ll miss Big Ben overnights on the weekend. At least we won’t have to suffer listening to Tom Looney! (Never listened to a wannabe that felt so highly of himself like Looney, good riddance!)

Can’t we get Mika and Mike in the AM and dump the insufferable D&C.
Better listening and infinitely more entertaining.

Tiki, be careful what you wish for. Although I like D.A. more than Adams, the night talent at ESPN is dreadful. Usually on is Freddy “marbles in my mouth” Coleman and the insufferable John Seibel is one of the worst on-air talents today.

Didn’t Gammons indirectly refer to ‘EEI as “Angry White Radio” during one of his appearences on Felger’s old afternoon show? Not so angry after all, I guess.

And what about all the ballyhoo about the Globe columnists being allowed to return to ‘EEI? Granted, I don’t listen every day, but I haven’t heard Ryan since his first appearence with Ordway a few months ago. With the Shank now a regular on 98.5, I don’t imagine we’ll be hearing him either. Much ado about nothing?

Adams’ fall from grace has certainly been swift & steep. Did something happen behind the scenes that we don’t know about?

Couldn’t have said it any better, Jon. I’m curious as to whether this seemingly temporary radio relationship (temporary until ESPN Radio gets their own signal) will have any affect on the battle of the ESPNBoston and WEEI websites, who compete for eyes and clicks the way the stations compete for listeners.

Because I’m sure they’ll work out some type of agreement where the ESPN station has no local programming in morning or afternoon drive. Plus EEI will have another station to put BC football/basketball on as well as any Celtics games that conflict with the Sox on EEI.

ESPN to 850? What would Entercom do that? WEEI has put so much into WEEI.com, why would they give their competition (ESPNBoston.com) an outlet where sports listeners have been programmed to go for 15 years?

WRKO site says Celts games on Fri night (7:25) and Sun afternoon (1) will be on RKO instead of EEI

They really should flip it and give us ESPN at night then have Mikey do the overnight when he’s only a threat to the fringe element anyway. Amazing what they are donig to marginalize that guy – and I for one salute it.
