  • Looking for a Boston sports podcast

    Needed some sports radio and probably found the least appealing podcast. One voice sounds especially annoying, like if Gilbert Godfried had a daughter and that daughter was a sarcastic Pats’ fan. They talk about the players off the field life like they’re more interested in their celebrity aspect than their gameplay. Just a weird listen tbh

    Long time listener of this duo going back 13 years now. I only listen in podcast format. Please post the hours more promptly so that I don’t have to listen to the other midday show. The other station posts every hour promptly within 2 hours of concluding that hour.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

3/11/26 - Wednesday Full Show - Would you rather Wednesday!
Q: What was your read on the Jaylen Brown ejection and the officiating in that prime-time Celtics-Spurs game?
Both hosts expressed frustration with the ejection, debated the level of superstar leeway, and criticized the officials for overreacting, while also noting Brown's history with officials; they pushed for a standard that keeps star players in games unless conduct is egregious.
Ex-NFL linebacker Shawne Merriman joins the show to talk boxing and football players
Q: What would make this fight worth doing for a player to step away from their team?
A massive payday on a Netflix/Paramount/streaming platform with extensive promotion could justify taking the risk, especially if the matchup is against a credible opponent and marketed as a blockbuster event.
Ex-NFL linebacker Shawne Merriman joins the show to talk boxing and football players
Q: Do you think he actually wants the fight?
He believes the talk is primarily promotional and designed to generate attention; the real barrier is the escrow requirement and the reluctance of current players to commit, making a true fight unlikely without major concessions.
HR 3 - Decisions decisions
Q: What would be the argument against making Christian Gonzalez the highest paid corner in the league?
The hosts and Curran discuss that paying Gonzalez at superstar levels could establish a precedent that strains the cap, hurts flexibility for future extensions (including Drake May), and potentially creates a perception problem if similar deals aren't applied evenly across the roster. They acknowledge his exceptional play but emphasize balancing short-term pay with long-term team-building and the risk of distraction or misaligned priorities if the money goes to one player over others.
3/3/26 - Tuesday Full Show - Tier Tuesday | Tom E. Curran
Q: What do you think is the biggest reason for the Celtics' overachieving this year?
The discussion centers on the dual credit to Brad Stevens for roster construction and Joe Missoula for development, with emphasis on players like Hugo Gonzalez and Jalen Brown stepping up, and the overall depth and cohesion that came together after strategic lineups and rotations.
