Smiling Joe Hesketh said:Since when has Schilling ever given the indication that his opinion was less than 100% correct, no matter what the topic? He doesn't like to work in grey areas, that's for sure.
On baseball, he'd be interesting. He always has been because of his approach to the game and I've enjoyed what he's had to say on that topic, even if he never shuts up on ESPN broadcasts. But on any other topic I'd imagine he'd become an insufferable blowhard and not fun to listen to on the radio.

As entertaining as he might be in general, I dont know if he is capable of having a 4 hour discussion of non-baseball sports every day. That could be an utter disaster, so EEI please make that happen!
If they are really desperate for ratings, pair him with Gerry in the morning and turn it into a Rush Limbaugh alternative

I believe Curt is a big Steelers fan, so I'm sure he's at least somewhat insightful when it comes to football. Basketball and hockey though?

Yawn. I thought there was no decline in ratings? Now it is Brown's fault?Patriot_Reign said:Listened to D&C as they opened this morning..they are all over this guy. Said he was fired flat out, and that it was his efforts that directly led to their big fall in the ratings. It's been open warfare several times this morning already, talking about how he forced out Meter, and fired just about every other member of their staff, including producers, not to mention others like Ordway and Wolfe.
Also said it was Brown's vision that they sound like ESPN, no politics, nothing controversial, can't mention anyone at 98.5.
They're also claiming that now at long last the gloves can come off and they get to fight back.
Pretty good radio so far, sounds like Brown was a serious a-hole.

Entercom Boston announced Tuesday it has hired Phil Zachary as its new vice president and market manager. The announcement comes a day after Jeff Brown left Entercom for Cumulus Media in Atlanta.
Zachary comes to Entercom from Curtis Media Group in Raleigh, N.C., where he held the title of president and chief operating officer.
He has strong New England ties, having grown up in Connecticut and graduated from Holy Cross. He has worked in Providence, Worcester and Boston, and once served as the operations manager at the former WITS 1510, where he oversaw Bruins and Red Sox play by play.
He will start at Entercom Boston on Oct. 21.

Espn radio (national) is actually pretty good with the exception of Colin Cowherd. A station like ESPN, but with localized coverage would be much better than either of the terrible stations in town.Patriot_Reign said:Listened to D&C as they opened this morning..they are all over this guy.

Over at Entercom Boston, the upcoming departure of one-time market manager Julie Kahn is expected at the end of this week. She joined Entercom's Boston cluster back in October 2000 as GM for WAAF 107.3 and WQSX/Star 93.7. In early 2004, she became Entercom Boston market manager. And in 2006, she was also named Entercom's New England manager overseeing Entercom's properties in Springfield and Providence. However, her role was diminished when now-departed Jeff Brown was hired as Boston market manager in 2011.
One aggravating ESPN staple that he has adopted is the chronic teasing of what comes next, right after this break, without sharing all of the key information. It seems here that telling the listener to hang on for a piece of information is a pretty good way to get him or her to change the station in the interim.
The big market tease!Seonachan said:From the linked article:
Yep. I stopped listening to the show around the same time I stopped clicking on those "You won't believe what happened next" links.
brettzky99 said:How many more co-hosts is Michael Holley going to go thru ? Maybe he's part of the problem.
I agree with this completely and posted pretty much the same thing in one of these threads. I wanted to like Salk because I wanted an alternative to F&M. I gave him a few months but find his "takes" completely boring. At this point I just find him whiney and impossible to listen to.snowmanny said:I don't agree.
Salk is incredibly boring. We all know someone who starts to say something and within a second or two you know what point they are going to make, but it takes them another twenty seconds to finish their thought. The whole time the listener is getting ancy, or bored, or thinking about something else because they already know what is going to be said: that is me listening to Salk. He's not dumb, he's just obvious and bland.
Holley is pretty good.
Edit: That wasn't trolling by soxfan. You wrote something as if it was your brilliant new idea, but it was explicitly stated in the article.
John Saucier...WHDH traffic guy...sells music on iTunes of him...rapping?John Marzano Olympic Hero said:Is the Sauceman David Andelman?
As for afternoon drive, word is Zachary wants a new partner for Holley. At the top of the wish list is Michael’s former Boring Broadsheet co-worker, Michael Smith, who currently works at ESPN.
