I’ll miss them both. Ouch. That was a fraction of WEEI’s ratings, which reached double figures in afternoon drive in those days, but it was progress.
Listening to the new guys right now, and they don’t hold a candle to M&J. There was no choice, no discussion to have. The Kay show and Joe and Evan are so much better than F&M. Johnson was a credibility-starved buffoon who would have voluntarily called it a day if he had any shame. It’s amazing just to think that all of a sudden one day it was gone. “He’s going to fix the signal, and he’s going to put the money into this to compete,” and on and on.
But just so you know the whole story, Mustard wasn’t always a diehard Yankees fan.
WEEI got destroyed. It’s easily avoidable with music and podcasts and if I am looking for comedy, there is Francesca. Hey maybe WFAN wants some Spankee talk on Sat AM??? I thought they’d be great together. Scott also touched on Hazel Mae officially landing at MLB TV, something Jessica Heslam also reported in the Herald today.
I said, “Nah, he can’t be that good. Anik wore a placard reading “We Believed.". Grande: Remember the time period.
Holley: I wouldn’t say it was the right station at the wrong time.
WEEI caters to a peculiar segment of society: sports lovers. We probably should’ve seen that coming, but it still hit us hard. ..Larry Johnson is going to be put in a back room to trace his “cartoons”…you’ll never hear his voice on WEEI again….They’ve go to get their money’s worth out of Felger, Bradford, Borges etc..etc…..as a matter of fact I can see it now, The NFL Sunday show is probably going to be Felger and Borges didn’t they do a show together before?…”On all Fours for Felger” or something like that, it was on Comcast. Mustard & Johnson - A short history of WEEI in the morning with Craig Mustard 11-17-18. He became, and remains to this day, the main play-by-play voice of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. I can’t hear the station."
They could either retire M&J with the Yankees’ relevance, or they could make the bold move and lure Joe Morgan away from ESPN to dumb down the discussion. Does anyone think the other shows like Dale and Holly or the Big Show will let Joey from the northend on there show? They were still on the air? Maybe it's contracts or they're just content to sit in the ditch but c'mon at least try and put together a competitive team.
The only problem with Keefe is that he’s on WEEI, is associated with Dale and is opposite Hardy who appeals I’d guess to the same people but on a better show. That Anik guy.” He always said Pepe was the heart of the show, but he goes, “Anik likes you, he thinks you’re really good, but he’s smarter than you are.
Felger and Mazz is awful and everything I hate about sports radio and add in Weekday Jim Murray it’s even worse. The problem was he didn’t have the instincts on what to talk about. You must log in or register to reply here.
It wasn’t beneficial at all.
An absolute hack with a blatant racial agenda.
I’m starting to wonder with all of sports radio if the talking over one another (as opposed to having a back-and-forth dialogue) takes place because both the callers and hosts all have minute attention spans and if they don’t make their point when they think of it they’ll forget what they were thinking. Russillo: Anthony Pepe made Anik a cohost without telling me.
After four [scheduled] meetings when Kellogg didn’t meet with me, we ran into each other randomly one day at The Harp.
But McDonough’s show took the raise-the-bar approach at a time when perhaps the most contentious debate topic in Boston sports radio history was emerging: Who should be the Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady or Drew Bledsoe? They couldn’t hit us because it would acknowledge our existence, and we couldn’t hit them because we were raising the bar. When I got a car with bluetooth connectivity, I figured I could listen to podcasts/music of my choosing instead and I never went back to sports talk radio. There was a lot of stuff about how, “Well, Paul Allen is committed to this.” That’s kind of what I heard when they were recruiting me to come there. Follow him on Twitter @GlobeChadFinn. Jageler, Andelman’s cohost: I never worked with anyone like Eddie before. Why the odd alliance of macho posturing, right wing politics, and the love of sport? And he says, “Oh, just go to network.” And we walked out, all of us. thesportsdaily.com.
Courtesy art. When do you start new offerings? They were actually pretty OK; it wasn’t like we were going to have the “Anchorman” brawl or something.
His first producer, Chris Passamano, did not click with McDonough and was fired a few months into the show’s existence. I mean, that was Day 1.
At least one prominent Globe sportswriter was part of the McDonough Group almost every day. I said, “So, Mike, about that thing with Simmons.
That opened up collaboration between Globe writers and The Zone.
Besides dont they need someone to replace frank he is getting old… just a thought, many of the people who are expressing such disgust with the show have a great deal of knowledge regarding the show’s callers…as for me wfan will be my station of choice. Holley: I was riding with Mike Kellogg one day, and he said, “As a matter of fact, I’d like to do some things with you and Simmons.” And I’m like, “Yeah, that would be interesting.” He was driving me somewhere, I don’t know. With quotes from Mike Kellogg and everything. It was not a surprise by then — he’d frequently missed shows because of his broadcasting obligations for the Red Sox and ESPN — but it felt like the surest sign that the end was near when he left in May 2003.
In October 2002, The Zone found its morning guy, and it was another familiar name. Winn: I called my corporate people and I said, “Hey, can he be our secretary and also do afternoon drive?” And they were like, “Yeah, as long as we don’t pay him any more money, that’s fine.” So, you know, he’d come in, there wasn’t a hell of a lot to do as being like our office manager, and we put him on the air.
Sean off the air — and this is the guy we wanted on the air — is the funniest guy in the room. We start the show and we’re reading the article by Baker.
I don't know. Russillo: My father listened religiously; it was such a joy for him to hear me doing this. i will miss the preacher and the teacher , moron from da north end and frank one tooth from da foxy lady….chowwwwww. It was one of the most tragic days in American history. He didn’t want to do a low-rent show.
Mike Giardi, cohost: There were a couple of times with big names that they couldn’t have been less interested. Twelve days after the name change, The Zone landed its first big fish, pilfering Celtics broadcast rights away from WEEI with an exorbitant five-year contract.
Of course you want Eddie Andelman. In 2007, Blackstrap Broadcasting purchased 1510 and moved the studios to Marina Bay in Quincy.
I remember we would have some shows where he was interviewing some college coach for 25 minutes.
Over on Patriots Daily, Scott Benson has a look at cutdown day for the Patriots, from the view of an alternative universe.
Sure. The station as originally conceived no longer existed.
.”. “This guy, he’s smart, he’s got a great voice, he’s going to be something.” He was talking about Russillo.
Thank friggin’ God. It was creepy. I’d be looking at [producer] Ross Carey behind the glass like, “I can’t keep talking to myself here.”, And then we’d do the next show where it was Simmons and Michael Smith, and we’d do four hours in what felt like four minutes, and we’d be like, “Hey, can we keep going?”.
I think many of the comments above are more about Masshole nation than about them. Tune in each weekend as Craig Mustard and Larry Johnson debate the New England sports scene. One day a guy from some hot dog company would be on the air with him, and you’d be like, “What’s going on?” And he’d say, “Oh, don’t worry about it, he’s getting us money.”.
The station was able to find some talent and put people in the position that would not have had the reps normally.
And we’re like, “Hey, guess who’s getting fired today? In the first year-plus of The Zone, there was reason for hope. Rumour has it that the Mut at Night show and all local weekend talk is out at WEEI, instead going to CBS sports national. The launch date was 9/11, which was horrific in itself.
In hindsight, they probably feel like they overpaid me and overpaid Eddie Andelman, too. Over on Patriots Daily, Scott … Not everything was a cause for hope. The thing that jumps out to me is the overall listeners in the morning is consistent, but there is a steep drop in the afternoon. Is there any way you guys will come in and do the morning show and do the afternoon shows the same day?” We did it for a few weeks and it was brutal. But, of course, hardly surprised. You start launching a station with that historic, tragic event and it’s very challenging. I will miss Larry Johnson because he was so capable of repeating what he heard during the week. It’s what radio and TV media people DO; it’s part of their DNA.
The only time I ever listen is if I'm driving like under one mile somewhere and I don't feel like queuing up a podcast or music. Mustard & Johnson has been a staple in WEEI's weekend programming for years. So in a way it became as predictable as D&C/Big O and it also started to imitate them in that those Yankee callers would often get shouted over by Larry Johnson.
Bill Simmons, sportswriter and frequent The Zone afternoon drive cohost: People just hated WEEI at that point.
In particular, Boston sports-lovers. Next thing you know, we’re doing morning drive. I knew Sean and I begged him, begged him, and begged him and finally got him to do it.
It also proves that New Englanders are Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and Bruin fans – they are NOT sports fans. What matters is 18-54 (Men are more significant) and drive time. Grande: WEEI had three game-changing properties, in my view: The Red Sox, Ordway, and Gerry Callahan.
According to Grande, popular longtime Channel 4 sports anchor Bob Lobel would have been the choice had McDonough said no.
