I missed the excitement today...

I imagine a lot of yelling about how lame opening night was (which is amusing when Felger does it...not so much when GRESH does it), and a lot of yelling about Tiger Woods?

And I'm sure there were..."A LOT OF TEXTS OUT OF THE 774!"



Didn't listen to it, but looking at the podcast page you have T&R and then a piece of audio from Felger and Mazz. So not a big surprise but nothing podcast worthy from this new dynamic duo.

I tried to watch Comcast Sportsnet with Gresh and Holley tonight and I just can't listen to Gresh, he's an idiot and I can't stand hearing his voice.

I'm at a complete loss trying to understand why he has a job. It must be that Comcast and TSH have data suggesting that we are in the minority, that most people like this fat pig. I won't listen to him and I tune in 'EEI when he's on the air. Does TSH think that my decision to go back to 'EEI is a good thing?

I was just about to write the same thing. I just don't get it. I literally change the channel every time when he is co-hosting Sports Tonight and I refuse to listen to him on 98.5. Where are all the people that like Gresh or at least like him enough to justify him being a fixture in the Boston media? My fear is that "the powers that be" think that people don't like Gresh but will listen because they think he is "edgy" and people want to hear him rant and that people love to hate him. It is actually the opposite for me. I hate him, am baffled by how/why he is employed, and go out of my way to not listen/watch.

 

[mikeford]

Gresh started off today's trainwreck by mock crying (extremely loudly, almost yelling) about Dez Bryant.

So, I lasted approximately 23 seconds after the crossover. Good work Andy.

 

[Sille Skrub]

If Gresh was that high on Dez, then I'm glad the Pats didn't take him.

My guess is that they think he's a controversial guy who moves the dial as opposed to someone who's bad at his job and makes people change the dial. "People don't like me 'cause I'm telling it like it is instead of just telling them what they want to hear!" That sort of thing. Negative feedback comes in a lot of forms and some people in the media have a hard time distinguishing between divisive personalities and obnoxious buffoons.

I would gladly trade my life and the lives of my family and friends if a hydrogen bomb landed squarely on Andy Gresh's fat head.

Other way around, Gresh didn't want him and was mocking callers crying about not getting Dez.

Somewhat unrelated, but when I was listening yesterday I heard Gresh doing a Myoplex spot. Think about that.

If it weren't for Weebs and Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, nothing good would come out of Merrimack. If I still had money I'd buy Merrimack just to burn it to the ground.

 

[Phenom]

GRESH, Tanguay, AND Zolak today?!?!

This dynamic trio surely gets around, huh? I would say GRESH and Tanguay are the most ubiquitous sports media "personalities" in Boston. They blow a guy like Buckley away.

And the line, "If I still had money" could have only come from a URI grad. Merrimackers make it rain every motherfucking day.

Gresh is a baseball moron. On the Score in Providence, he made the comment that Lou Gehrig wasn't even in Mickey Mantle's league as a ballplayer. I called up and quoted him Gehrig's stats against Mantle's (yeah different era but please). The chucklehead then asked "well how many at bats did Gehrig have against Mantle?" I guess Greshie had no clue about that little record that Gehrig set about consecutive games played.

Gresh lets this guy go on for about two minutes talking about how the Bruins need to trade for Stephen Weiss, Nathan Horton, and Keith Ballard (who "had his clock cleaned by Richards" - I can only assume he meant David Booth), then proceeds to waste another two minutes pretending to know what he's talking about. I think their entire broadcast today, they assumed Rick Nash is going to be a free agent, neglecting to note that he'd been signed to an extension a few months ago.

I wish my car got AM radio better so I could at least hear D&H 10-2.

So during the crossover with Felger today, GRESH talks about a bet he made with Zolak. Something about how if Ortiz does well this month, he'll kiss Zo's shoe...

So before commercial, Zolak says "I'm smelling 2-3 tonight for Papi."

GRESH then screams "NO! 0-4! 0-4 BABY!!!!!"

What a tool.

Credit to GRESH, Ortiz is 0-2 with a walk going into the bottom of the 7th.

[4 6 3 DP]

I have never written a letter to a radio station or newspaper or pretty much anything to complain in my life.

At the crossover this morning, Fred said something about how Rich had watched 3/4 of the game on the airplane to Vegas before missing the fourth during landing.

Gresh actually responded "I wonder why you'd bother trying to watch the game if you weren't going to be talking about it on the radio...since he won't be back till Monday and we'll be on to something else. I'd rather bring DVDs and watch movies or porn or something".

Game 7, NBA finals, Celtics/Lakers, and the fat bastard only watched the game because he had to talk about it for his job the next day. I threw a letter to the station that no one will read about why this load is on the air, which won't accomplish anything but made me feel a little bit better.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Maybe he doesn't like basketball? Willing to bet Sean McAdam didn't watch it either and he writes for a newspaper and appears on TV.

Far be it from me to defend Gresh, but not everyone likes all four sports or, if they do, not all four local teams. He's still an ass but I can't see what's wrong with what he said. Maybe he had plans and DVR'd it for later. Does it really impact his work? No...and I think he's always been a football guy anyway.

Felger hates basketball. He watched every minute of the NBA Finals and took notes on each game. Why? Because it's his job to watch it!

I'm sorry, but I just can't believe that a sports talk radio host would not watch a championship game involving a team he covers if he didn't have to talk about it the next day. Does this mean GRESH only watches games Sunday-Thursday, considering he's not on the air over the weekend, so he doesn't feel a need to watch games on Friday/Saturday?

And McAdam is a baseball writer. However, I do bet you he watched the Finals when he could. I can't believe somebody who calls themself a sports fan, never mind somebody in sports media would rather watch porn on an airplane than a championship game involving the hometown team.

GRESH watching porn on an airplane...that's quite the visual. GUY TALK BABY!

Absolutely. Felger let one slip on the show the other day 'because I work as CSN I am forced to watch a lot of basketball' he immediately corrected himself, but it seemed like a Freudian slip

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Phenom, all good points. It was really the only thing I could think of that was any kind of a rational reason.

Then again, maybe he's been told his days are numbered anyway (one can only hope) and is just half-assing it the rest of the way.

I'd have to think that with football season just around the corner, Gresh and Zo are safe for the rest of the year... let's face it, the NFL is the only sport those turds can discuss with some insight.

I checked in this morning to listen to the clueless duo's take on the Red Sox. I almost felt sorry for them since, with the Sox' latest surge, they were forced to talk baseball. They had no place to go. Gresh mentioned that the Sox record this year is almost identical to their record last year, at this time, but that the Sox traditionally go into decline this time of year, while the Yankees always pick up the pace in late June. (No mention, of course, of the fact that the Sox play most of their games on the road for the next 6 weeks, including 2 west coast trips.) Gresh obviously had the Sox stats page from the Globe or Herald in front of him and noted that, "Hey! John Lackey is 8-3! But his ERA is HOOoooRR-uhh-BLE." Gresh then added that "There's NOOO way his W-L record should be so good with that ERA." He also opined that DiceK was 5-2 with a HOOoooRR-uhh-BLE ERA, which was not good. This kind of "in-depth" analysis went on and on until I turned them off (and immediately felt better, much like the proverbial guy that banged his head against the wall, because it felt so good when he stopped.)

As an aside, I went to a family wedding over the weekend, and over-heard my 8 year old nephew, Jack, discussing the Red Sox with his 6 year old cousin, Ally. Jack informed Ally, that "A long time ago, when I was little, the Red Sox won the World Series with Manny, who now plays for the Dodgers." Ally couldn't recall that long ago, but she did offer the view that the Red Sox are doing just fine because they have more guys helping out and don't depend on just one guy.

Jack and Ally know more about baseball than Gresh and Zo. 98.5 should give them the 10-2 slot for the summer until the NFL season starts.

 

[HomeBrew1901]

Not sure where else to put this because the trio of Zolak, Gresh and Tanguay all suck, but at around 5:30 I got in my car last night to go home and tried to listen to the pre-game show. I last all of 30 seconds because a "funk" song was played as an intro and Gresh immediately tried to rag on Tanguay for liking it. It was so fucking annoying I went over to 850 for the Jimmy Fund telethon.

Holy fuck he is bad, how he is still on the radio amazes me.

“I was a big fan of Bernie Mac, and I always go back to what he said in ‘The Kings of Comedy.’ He says, ‘I say the things you think but are afraid to say.’ I think there’s a little bit of that going on.’’

Bernie Mac is more interesting than Andy Gresh is right now. And Bernie Mac has been dead for two years.

I know that Gresh is loving this "controversy" because it increases his visibility in a very crowded Boston sports media landscape and he can play "tough guy, hard nose" reporter. But the simple fact is, Andy Gresh is loud because he has literally nothing at all to say. Nothing. I can't believe that the ratings for the Sports Hub mid-afternoon show actually went up after he showed up. That proves Boston is a crappy sports town.

In all seriousness, GRESH is the worst of the worst. He isn't articulate, never says anything interesting, and is just very very LOUD.

So, I listened for awhile this morning, knowing that WEEI is doing the Jimmy Fund thing (nothing against the Jimmy Fund) to catch some talk about the Patriots game from last night.
