  • Bill stinks

    Bills so bad, you can tell he just got into sports recently he’s not knowledgeable at all, very hard to listen to and he can’t stop thinking about the superior station! They don’t even know who he is

  • Great New Chemistry on Fanatic Afternoons

    Bill offers good insight with a smooth delivery, especially when drawing from a strong background of Eagles knowledge.

    Ricky Bo is always good with the expert knowledge of pitching as a former Phillies/MLB reliever and also knows the habits, mentality, and lifestyle of baseball players to add substance to the conversation.
