No but I'd have to imagine this is it for him outside of the Patriots pre and post game show.

Andy Merchant said:I'm still trying to figure out what Gresh meant when he said "Don't believe everything you hear" to a caller after the story of his departure broke. The only thing I've heard is that his contract at TSH was not renewed and he was going to be replaced by Bertrand on the 10-2 show.
That's what I figured, but it was almost like Gresh was referencing some kind of a smear campaign that I wasn't aware of. The EEI folks don't seem to have a problem saying Salk was basically an asshat on the air, so it didn't seem to be out of the realm of possibility. I could definitely see his open disdain for Felger (the star of the station) or his high opinion of himself (possibly asking for big contract) helping hasten his exit from TSH.Chad Finn said:He's done. Doesn't want to acknowledge it. But it's true.

Quiddity said:Feel bad for Gresh, I got more appreciative of him considering how many trolls are around him. He's a breath of fresh air compared to them.
At least he gets to go out on top, covering the Super Bowl champions.
I like both Gresh and Zo because they're not pretentious at all about the sports they know little about. For example, hockey. I certainly don't look to them for analysis, but they're enthusiastic fans and are fun to listen to before a big playoff game.NDame616 said:
Do you listen to him discuss any sport other than football?
He hadn't slept at all when he was on with toucher and rich. And that was around 8am est.Patriot_Reign said:Gresh w/ Flynn after Zo apparently bagged out with a hangover

He's still in Phoenix, so maybe when he gets back to Boston he's done.shawnrbu said:
When Gresh and Zo got canned in Providence, The Score didn't allow them a sendoff. Either the station was not very gracious or the station worried one or both would be a loose cannon knowing they are lame ducks. I can't see Gresh pulling a full Pete Sheppard though if he still wants viable work in this market.

Harry Hooper said:Any chance Gresh takes over Tanguay's game day gig?
I think that his contract might have run out on Feb 1 but due to the Pats extended playoff run and winning the Super Bowl, the powers that be let him complete the season. Football is Gresh's best sport obviously. If the crews were going to be in Phoenix last week, it made no sense to break up the continuity of two shows during Super Bowl Week. In addition, with Zo broadcasting the game last night, it created logistical issues today. He probably officially exits the show next Monday.HomeBrew1901 said:I'm kind of surprised that they are still allowing him on the air if he's going to be off the show soon.
Chad Finn said:New Beetle/Zo show starts 2/17, so gresh may have a few more days. I was never sure of the exact date.

Is that strange timing to start a new show? Many people here proably follow it closer than I do, but don't a lot of these guys go away for February (school) vacations and the weeks are usually fill ins?
Red(s)HawksFan said:
It seems like an ideal time to launch a new show. It's just about the deadest time of year in sports. NFL is done. Spring Training is just starting. NHL/NBA regular seasons are still a few weeks away from the "home stretch". Still two+ weeks out from March Madness.
The dead time lets you put two guys together, let them settle in and develop a bit of chemistry and rhythm before things really heat up.
Patriot_Reign said:Gresh is getting bounced from the top rated sports show in it's slot because of his behavior. That's gotta hurt.
Beetle has little kids and at least one of Zo's kids is in HS, which limits travel due to sports. Also, I wonder if Beetle will be taking over game day duties as he's been doing the Patriots.com pre &NDame616 said:

jsinger121 said:Interesting in that article it says that Gresh will work with the Sports Hub in a variety of roles.
Rusty13 said:I guess I'm fine with Gresh still making appearances etc. on TSH. But for crying out loud, can they please ban Gary Tanguay all together?!
