  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mike Reiss Joins The Show // Reiss’ Big 3 // Patriots-Bears Preview - 10/20 (Hour 3)
Q: With all the injuries piling up for the Patriots each week, do you anticipate them being more active at the trade deadline than previous years, maybe for more like depth help?
Mike Reiss says the Patriots could buy if the right opportunity arises, noting that elevating players from the practice squad can also provide needed depth. The group discusses potential trade targets, including guard Quenton Nelson.
Mike Reiss Joins The Show // Reiss’ Big 3 // Patriots-Bears Preview - 10/20 (Hour 3)
Q: Is Caleb Williams in your top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL right now?
Mike Reiss says Williams would likely be near the back end of his top ten, while the hosts discuss how they rank Maye against other leading quarterbacks.
The Last Time Zolak & Bertrand Had an Extended Show // Sounds of Sunday // Today’s Takeaways - 10/20 (Hour 4)
Q: Why was the late-game execution Brad Stevens emphasized not transferred to Joe Mazzulla, especially in out-of-timeout situations?
The hosts say the caller was right that Mazzulla's answers did not directly address the concern about late-game execution and three-point-heavy offense. They note that Brad Stevens has tried not to overstep as a former coach, while acknowledging he recognized that the roster and approach needed to change.
Midday Show Takeover of Felger & Mazz // Kendra Middleton Joins The Show // Zolak’s Tiers - 10/20 (Bonus Hour)
Q: So Kendra, what's going on in the F1 world?
Kendra Middleton says a 19-year-old leads the Formula One championship and could secure the title at the upcoming Austin race, becoming the youngest champion in the sport's history.
Patriots Lose to Bears // Pats Still Have Questions // The Football Card - 10/23 (Hour 1)
Q: What's the logic on keeping the field goal with two minutes left when I know you need the three points, but you also need the touchdown?
The hosts say the Patriots needed to preserve a chance to get the ball back with enough time, and explain that the choice depended on timeouts, the clock and confidence in the kicker.
