  • Red Sox are a Dumb Team

    Beetle starts the week off telling us the Red Sox are dumb because they can’t remember how many outs there are. I assumed he was referring to Jarren Duran on Sunday. Later in the 1st hour, Beetle and Zo are interviewing Jim Miller who says that he expects the patriots to win 8-9 games. Then 2-3 minutes later Beetle asks Miller how many games he expects the Patriots to win this year. Hey Beetle, do you need someone to hold up flash cards showing key points already covered by guests? I give Beetle... more

  • Beetle is unbearable

    Unless you have an unhinged obsession with listening to sports talk radio every day, this show is absolutely unbearable now. Beetle constantly talks over co-hosts and guests, particularly when he’s backed into a corner and is losing a debate. He sounds like the fat kid who got constantly bullied in school and wants everybody to know it. Gave up on this show years ago, went back today to try it out one more time and he is worse than I ever remember. And Zo is ostensibly a Pats employee paid to te... more

  • Getting grating

    November 4 show was so frustrating to listen to. With a patriots great game to talk about they couldn’t get more that 2 minutes an hour talking about the game or the team. Just more and more insufferable garbage about stupid songs or tv shows and music from 2004. It’s football season, it’s short, please talk about football!

David Andrews Joins The Show // Defense Continues To Do Their Part // Patriots Battered in Victory - 9/21 (Hour 2)
Q: How do you view the play-calling under Josh McDaniels in relation to Drake Maye's development?

David Andrews Joins The Show // Defense Continues To Do Their Part // Patriots Battered in Victory - 9/21 (Hour 2)
Q: What are your thoughts on Drake Maye's current throwing mechanics and pocket presence?
