    Shertenlieb Show? Rich Radio? - mornings on ZLX

    I don’t know anything about her, but I got a good vibe from that clip. She seems cool. A bit of Amy-Poehler-Hillary in that spontaneous laugh.

    Roasted GOAT

    Since Tom Brady himself has expressed regret, maybe he’s also lost some respect for himself. That’s a healthy thing. I’m sure it will come back.

    The Special Ones (manager talk)

    I felt similarly about Europe - it seemed to be marking a peak and the pullback was inevitable. Brighton has continued to grow through a few of these, though - 2 steps forward, 1 back - and IMO the fact that they keep hitting higher highs comes down to Tony Bloom and the approach he’s built into...

    The Special Ones (manager talk)

    Sadly, it was time. He’ll get some very high profile opportunities.

    Skenes is electric. First “must watch start” guy in a bit. Pirates fans must be salivating.

    Shertenlieb Show? Rich Radio? - mornings on ZLX

    Sports-wise, Rich is a “big event” guy. He feeds off crowd energy and narratives and the “city coming together”. The Celtics are perfect for this. I truly hope they do some pop culture, though. Movies, music, concerts, TV, comedy… that’s a lane he could crush in. I wish they had an Adam XII type...

    NFL Schedule Release 2024

    They’re pushing another league around just because they can. It would be like if the NFL intentionally scheduled the draft to go head to head with MLB opening day. I don’t think it’s a moral failing or anything, but I do think it’s cool when each sport has some traditional moments on the...

    I don’t appreciate the Buffalo scheduling

    Shertenlieb Show? Rich Radio? - mornings on ZLX

    Not to infer anything ;), but a) that’s not a ZLX type track, so I wonder how much leeway he’ll have on the music programming (hopefully a lot) and b) leaning into sports energy in that promo makes me wonder if they’ll dip into sports a bit. Maybe just the Celtics? Honestly, a show with a...

    Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show

    I have no doubt that Rich was sleeping in his car. Given the amount of production work he did, when they go on, and down a co-host, it doesn’t sound crazy to me at all that that would happen sometimes.

    Roasted GOAT

    I just watched most of this (skipped Affleck and some of Burgundy). I thought Randy was better than he’s given credit for here. He’s got natural charisma. I enjoyed his set more than Gronk’s.

    Arif Hasan Q&A

    Hi & thanks for dropping by. Whenever I try to watch all-22 or even YouTube breakdowns, I get lost. Too many tiny moving pieces, not enough inherent understanding of what any particular offensive play is “supposed” to be or what the defense is “trying” to do. When you’re watching film, are...

    Misc. Pats Offseason News

    Not great, Bob. They’re going for a soccer badge look (perhaps in accordance with the Germany connection) but that isn’t very memorable, IMO. The negative space in the middle is all wrong, and the outside roundel being two different colors is jarring. The “silver” (grey) doesn’t pop enough...
