    Surprised there isn't an announcer thread...

    Just speaking radio, but how is Will Flemming a host? Whenever I'm driving home and listening to the Sox game I'm astounded this guy with an ultra vanilla voice who references Rafael Devers as "Raffy" is the best option for co-hosting with Joe Costig?

    Larry Lucchino dead at 78

    Don't know about being an asshole but he was from a bygone era where people stood up for themselves and fought back when needed.

    Larry Lucchino dead at 78

    I'm 48 and grew up in CT as a Sox fan. Every summer my parents and my friend's parents would drive us up to Boston for one game during the summer & I still have a vivid memory to this day of being 10 or 12 and standing at the trough with dude's hogs out everywhere just pissing into this common...

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    Couldn't care less about Bill Simmons but in this instance he's not wrong.

    So long, Framingham Lou (and other WEEI discussions)

    Agreed. Rich's strength is producing bits like fart court or Brookline 911 and for whatever reason that translates to morning drive time material. Jim Murray will occasionally make a "Yeah Felgahh you're wronggg kidddd" bit but otherwise it's straight up sports talk which Rich isn't good at.

    Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show

    I hate to say it, but the Greg Hill show is better at the moment. And I say that as someone who thinks Curtis is unlistenable and Wiggy dumb as a box of rocks. Courtney is solid and GH is the usual steady voice.

    I could've sworn that at least a partial reason Gresh was let go was because of how he treated people behind the scenes, though having said that I totally forgot that Tanger was the original host with Zo so I'm probably mistaken.

    So long, Framingham Lou (and other WEEI discussions)

    Seriously. I've found him to be unlistenable as far back as his debut with Zolak at the birth of 98.5. Everywhere he goes his ratings are just 'meh', yet he's given opportunity after opportunity.

    Guessing Nomar is a solid maybe.

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

    I'm a fan of Zo & Bertrand as it's more light hearted but sometimes listen to the opening of Felger & Mazz for a bit and it never fails to strike me how ANGRY they are at whatever. I get it's their job and they are crushing it ratings wise, but at the same time there's a voice in the back of my...

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

    Felger's worried. Patriots are going to be middling now for the next several years and with that comes a lack of interest. Combine that with Audacy/ weei going into bankruptcy and he doesn't have someone to bounce off his next contract negotiation.

    Deadspin is Burning

    When I just saw this had a random thought that Portnoy must be doing that thing where he pops a bottle whenever an enemy goes under, and sure enough he didn't disappoint. View: https://twitter.com/stoolpresidente/status/1767247560320663957

    Chris Mortenson passes away

    He blocked me years ago on Twitter for asking a benign question regarding deflategate. Prime example of thin skinned media people who struct me as assholes. Having said that I don't root for anyone's passing so hopefully he's in a better place.

    3/1 vs. Dallas

    I don't know if this is normal, but got home late from work and checked the box score and every player on the Mavs has a negative score on the +/- stat line sans one player who is scored as zero. Does that happen often? Get they got blown own but still seems wild...

    Thoughts about media types who don't have their own threads

    Jared Carrabis has parted ways with DraftKings. Feels like a return to Barstool is inevitable.

    ESPN, FOX, Warner Bros to launch standalone streaming app

    Not really related to this thread directly but randomly logged on to our Amazon Prime video account a couple hours ago and got hit with a notification that if we wanted to continue to watch their content ad free it'd come with a $2.99 subscription going forward. We cut the cord last year but...

    Dan Shaughnessy: Taking a dump in your mouth one column at a time

    Kind of random thought, but didn't Dan have a routine of running exactly one mile every day?

    NBA All-Star Game Weekend 2024 with Dunks, Skills, 3 Point Competitions, ASG: Hooiser Daddy?

    I appreciate not wanting to get hurt and nobody expects lock down defense but there's still some room to have semblance of defense, not the joke we're currently watching.
