    The Pantheon of Boston announcers: Who you got?

    I’m not a Joe Castig guy, but he belongs on the list. Bob Wilson is (imo) consistently criminally underrated. Ahead of Gino here for sure and maybe even Eck. Whither Gil Santos?! Fun discussion.

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    Ernie, Scar, Josh, Ivan Fears, even the Brians (Flores and Daboll). Those were some great coaches and staff members who had pelts on the wall. You can argue that none of them were adequately replaced. That’s a shit ton of great teaching and coaching. Coach Bill’s staff the past couple of years...

    Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show

    Doesn't look like it. Not on now, at least.

    Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show

    I'm sure he did. Fred probably wasn't paying attention. Nick tweeted this out last week.

    2024 Sub-NFL Pro Football: UFL (née XFL & USFL), CFL etc.

    Yes I am. Absolute legend. Used to live about a mile away from him, and our boys were fast friends. Coached a baseball travel team with him. Do you know him as well?

    2024 Sub-NFL Pro Football: UFL (née XFL & USFL), CFL etc.

    My last boss used to play (and briefly coach) for the Edmonton Elks (née Eskimos). Played briefly with Warren Moon. He got a big kick out of my random interest in, and knowledge of the CFL. Like @8slim , I love the summer games. Current Patriots 3rd string backup Nathan Rourke is a BC Lion alum...

    Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show

    Hardy's been doing great with this, imo. His commentary and explanation for the winners is very clever. I think one of the issues with this is that his contestants may largely be unfamiliar for the "target demo". Mary Lou Retton? Andie McDowell? Harley Jane Kozak? Your average guy in his...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    From a sports discussion standpoint, it was quite possibly their worst week talking about football/the Patriots since they debuted. When Fred Toucher has more reasonable, more informed takes on NFL free agency and the Pats, you know you've jumped the shark. Ratings be damned, they were...

    Non-Pats Coaching Carousel 2024

    Stefanski must be psyched to have him around!

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    And Bedard roasted him yesterday for this specific thing as well - paraphrasing: "You don't care about the football team and how it's being run... you just care about your radio show. That's it. You asked me if I liked what they're doing, and I said 'Yes'. I'm trying to tell you how the...

    Patriots sign Armon Watts

    Second-hand, my Steelers fan next-door neighbor likes him. Says he was a little better as an interior pass rusher compared to run defense. Earned more snaps as last year progressed. Thinks it’s a good pick up for the Pats.

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Now that there is no US Weekly/In Style gossip around the Pats between Belichick, Brady, and Mac Jones, Felger has lost his mind; his take on the Pats free agency is ridiculous. "Why won't they spend money on Saquon Barkley/Josh Jacobs!" Seriously? Mr. You-can-find-a-RB-off-the-street...

    A Reunion: Brissett back in New England. 1 year, $8 million

    This was tremendous.

    Macksonville: Mac Traded to Jaguars

    I'm aligned with @jacklamabe65 here. I wish him well. At the very least he goes to a place with familiar and comfortable support. I think the Patriots are doing him a solid here. I'm guessing it's as low as a 6th due to his salary (forget about the 5th year option).
