I don't see Zo eating Beatle alive. I think Bertrand will be pretty strong in that role. Beatle is the most underrated radio guy in Boston.PC Drunken Friar said:I don't get a chance to listen to them that often, but I don't mind their frat boy style. They could be better, but also much worse. I am afraid Zolak is going to eat Beatle alive.

PeaceSignMoose said:Beetle is definitely underrated. He's the only reason I occasionally tune into F&M, and his weekend show with Gasper is excellent.
I can't really stand Rich Keefe, however. There's no way he's going to avoid being dragged into the Felger and Mazz shitstorm.

Im actually a big Keefe fan. I think he could actually be an improvement over Beetle w/ Felger and Mazz
alydar said:Agreed that Gresh and Tanguay for the post-game is awful. Of course I listen to it, because wtf else am I going to listen to on the drive home, but jeezus, they are bad. If I recall, after the Baltimore game, they were focusing on something completely idiotic, like, next year's draft. Idiots.

Beetle was done on F&M one way or another. You can tell he kind of checked out when he didn't get the Adam Jones slot and generally stopped challenging those two. He was still good on F&M, but it seems he just gave up on bringing his best effort to the show, challenging them for saying stupid shit. If i was on the radio 4 hours a day, 5 days a week with them I'd give up too.
Yup.NortheasternPJ said:The Patriots Post-Game show on 98.5 is one of the worst things on the radio.
Gresh: GARY I TOLD YOU AHAOHAOIHGOAIFOIA
TANGUAY: I DIDN"T SAY THAT SHOSUFOISUFOISUF
CALLER: I"M IN THE PAHHHHHHHHHHKING LOT THE PATRIOTS RULE
CALLER 2: I"M IN THE PAHHHHHHHHKING LOT WHY DID THE PATRIOTS NOT WIN BY 40
CALLER 3: Hello? I'm 97 years old and can't work a phone
CALLER 4: SO WHY DID THE PATRIOTS DO X
GRESH: Actually the Patriots didn't do X, that's completely wrong, were you watching the game?
GARY: COming up next the post-game interviews! (these actually happened 20 minutes before gary said this and all the responses are on Twitter already)
On the way home from the game I actually listen to Butch Sterns more. Butch Sterns is one of the worst people in the media in the US, but it's better than the Kaspersky Patriots Post-Game Show.
That'd be great, I think Flynn is a good football guy. Better than Zo, for sure.jsinger121 said:I could see beetle hosting patriots pre and post game with Mike Flynn in the Gresh role.
but why would Flynn leave his CSNNE pre and post game gig for radio? CSNNE better lock him up full timealydar said:That'd be great, I think Flynn is a good football guy. Better than Zo, for sure.
Flynn is not always on pre and post game. He is usually in when either Troy Brown or Ty Law isn't there.the1andonly3003 said:but why would Flynn leave his CSNNE pre and post game gig for radio? CSNNE better lock him up full time

Hopefully Gresh leaves the market and takes Tanguay with him.
You think Zolak has that big of an appetite?PC Drunken Friar said:I am afraid Zolak is going to eat Beatle alive.

Beetle hosts the pre and post game shows on Patriots.com with Paul Perillo & Andy Hart. It's much better than EEI or TSH.Ralphwiggum said:Yup.
Tanguay out is the big news here. He's horrible and makes the pre and post game shows on the flagship station completely unlistenable.
I flipped over a few times this week during T&R commercials and he was gleeful about it.HomeBrew1901 said:Beetle reads the site. I reached out to him on twitter when he didn't get the night time gig and let him know most of SoSH was pulling for him and he responded and let me know he reads from time to time. How often? No idea.
Either way Awesome for Beetle since I've never been a Gresh fan. At the same time Fuck Minihane, Toucher is always saying how he never makes fun of radio guys losing their jobs because that could be him tomorrow and here is that smug asshole reportedly (I refuse to listen) openly teasing it with glee. What a fucking asshole.

Not that I want to be in the position of defending Minihane, because you're right he is an asshole, but I think the fundamental difference in this issue is that Fred is a career radio guy while Minihane is a writer who happens to have a gig on radio. Minihane doesn't have that "it could be me tomorrow" concern because to him, tomorrow he can go back to writing like he did before he joined D&C. He's an outsider on the inside, and has no desire to assimilate to being on the inside. If I were to guess, it's 80% playing a character and 20% his own true asshole shining through.
