I'm a simple person. I liked the BS report. It's gone now and I need some comfortable, listenable, entertainment in it's place. What's a good and fun (maybe Boston-centric) sports podcast? I can't deal with the Slate guys and everything outta ESPN is too ESPNy. I'm looking for Anderson Espinoza updates and funny stories about overeating all in one place.

soxprospects.com has a good podcast that they put together... once every 10 days/two weeks. Heavy on prospect talk... they're pretty comprehensive, working through each level in the organization, college draft, international free agent signing period, individual player profiles. Somewhat technical in the discussion. Not heavy on comedy, but they still keep it light.
I like it.
I also selectively download Toucher and Rich, and occasionally Felger and Mazz depending upon day/topic/hour. Rusillo and Van Pelt wasn't bad in their day for a more national take; don't know what Rusillo and Kanell are like now. I recognize these last few are radio shows, but I live out of market, so I access them via podcast and listen to them while I work out or cut the grass...

It doesn't get more local than this, SoSHers: http://insidethepylon.com/football-podcast/2015/09/17/podcast-volume-1-1-2/
For Patriots - the PFW in Progress podcast is hard to beat.
I think Tony Kornheiser's radio show/podcast is a good listen too. It's a little DC focused, but not that much considering it is a local radio show. He has Bob Ryan on every week and usually talk about Boston sports then. Plus he often talks about non-sports topics, which I appreciate.

i tried out the nesn football podcast. they just talk about the lines for the next week but it's at about the level that i'm interested in. they're not great entertainers, but it's not bad.
and yeah i like the soxprospects podcast a lot. i was just looking for an all-in-one replacement with decent humor. you'd think that there'd be a ton of New England bros trying to do BS report type things. i'm of the opinion it was sort of a like a good pop group- seemingly simple to replicate but actually really hard to get right. i thought there might be some guys who were close to replicating it, but maybe not.
Bump for the new season. Looking for Sox podcasts specifically (beyond prospects). All I get in Florida is either "how do we fix the Heat" or "the Dolphins always suck."
The WEEI baseball pod feed has some decent stuff (and some stinkers, particularly anything involving John Tomase). In particular, Rob Bradford's episodes feature a lot of what he does what he does best, buddying up to players, to get some solid interviews. They also do some farm report episodes if you're into prospect talk. Nothing truly hard hitting but some entertaining shows nonetheless.
