Supposedly this link (http://tuner1.dc1.sonixtream.com/playlists/610wip/610wipWIPAM.asx) is working, but I can't stream audio at work. Can someone else confirm? If it isn't working, it should be up and running on 610wip.com tomorrow morning...
Barf.
Its working. I had to hear 3 seconds of Eskin to test it out. :boom
sweet! that means i get to hear the garbage everyone on the board talks about on a regular basis.
what in the hell?
during the commercials they play this organ music

That's GOTTA be better than listening to Eskin.
It's actually not a bad musical piece. Reminds me of Dracula's castle or something.
I lost what little respect I had for any of you. Especially you.
Just being up here over the last few days, I had to test it out (hadn't really listened to WIP since Jody Mac was still there).
Angelo and the rest of the Stooges is still unlistenable.
Howard Eskin is the best commentator in the business. Just ask him! :D
Ray Didinger is actually pretty good.
:-D at the people who wanted to trade Thome for Tom Glavine.

Now I'm interested. I'd tune in to see if I could hear the organ, but it's not worth risking potentially hearing WIP.
someone mentioned it's ozzy being played, of course in the office i can't stream anything, so it's can't be confirmed by me.
Didinger is the best thing on that station. Roob is pretty good too.
I tuned in just to check it out. they play about 20 seconds of "Mr. Crowley" (Ozzy) during the commercials apparently. It was really annoying because they play those 20 seconds on a loop.
Then it cuts to your boy Eskin. Wow. He's pretty amazing. That is if by amazing you mean a slow and droning pile of nothingness. I'd rather listen to the loop of Ozzy.
the internet has officially become totally useless and uninformative now that that grand collection of mental sports midgets can be heard from every computer in the world.
:-D There's some douche bag on there right now trying to legitimize college water polo. :-D
Where do these people come from?
the only cool thing about this being online is that we can have running threads every day making fun of everyone on there. lol
It's all good! I can listen to Philly at work in chicago!!! :yay

What, you dont' like the crappy sports radio shows here in Chi-Town?
I love the Mac jurco and harry show, they are great, but the others pretty much suck. I usually listen to 890 on the way home.

Howard just called Deion Sanders a safety a few minutes ago. :-D
Yeah. And Yeti's house broken. ;)

No, the cool thing about it is now the out of towners can hear you and other board members call in and rip 'em a new one. Hell, the out of towners can call in now. Where's my phone? :D
I am all for that! I've never heard PG go off yet.

I thought he was playing some safety.
You mean like, tackling and hitting and shtein? :-D Even if Baltimore does have Deion playing safety now, he hasn't been playing it long enough for people to actually think of him as a safety. He's a corner.
It's about time.

I heard that douche when I was on the way to the mall. He was trying to get Eskin riled up because some schmuck before him called and said soccer players were the best overall athletes.
Soccer players definitely are.

She verbally flogged her with smilies?
Yeah, then she did a ::) and somehow the radio picked that up too...
Actually it was continuous, loud and spiteful....the kind of arguing that you don't want any part of. Rhea cowered in fear... :poison :yay
I've never heard PG on the radio, but what you describe sounds like how I imagined it.
now that it's on the internet you can record it
There you go, PG. Call up WIP, bitch at them, record it, then throw it up here for all the world to ... uh, hear. We'll make bajillions.
In the meantime, we can all sit back, relax and enjoy the sweet sounds of Reuben's WIP jingle.
http://mywebpage.netscape.com/LJT10511/reubens+theme.wav
I like the part in there about not bashing Iverson or McNabb.
Like everything else on that station, the morning shows is the worst jingle.
Finally! There goes the neighborhood.
Help me out here - why does WIP do the Phillies Friday night games? Are they a sister station to WPHT?
Nah, they just bidded on the Phils. The Phils threw 'em a bone and let them have Friday games.
I'm glad 1210 has them back though. 950 was BRUTAL.
One more cry for help out here in the Pacific - I guess I'll be missing the morning crew 11:30 PM - 4:00 AM Hawaii time. Are they any good? I will be able to catch Eskin. I've heard all about him. What about Gargano? How is Gary Cobb? Sorry for all the questions. I am so psyched to finally listen to WIP. Listening right now - yes, that's how I am spending my Friday night.
Yup, well, just called in for the first time since its gone online.
Anyone hear? I was suprisingly nice. O:)

Was Macnow the host? I was listening about an hour ago. I actually just emailed him regarding his top 150 guys movies list asking why Star Wars didn't make it. :P
Yeah, Macnow was the host.
I can't bring myself to listen to this station now with Cataldi in the morning, followed by Missanelli, followed (normally) by Eskin. But when I got in the car and heard Macnow, I listened.
I'll probably start listening once it gets a bit closer to football season. It's all Phillies talk right now, which doesn't particularly interest me.
I was arguing about this exact topic:
http://www.concretefield.com/forum/index.php?topic=15155.msg273357;topicseen#msg273357
Macnow thinks they should change the logo, mascot, etc.. to change the city's attitude towards the team, and the team's attitude in general...and I said, "You know what? Put a winning team on the field and those shirts will be selling like hotcakes. Put a winning team on the field and the city will fall in love with them all over again. Put a winning team on the field who has the "MUST WIN" attitude and the fans will go to the games, care about the team and pull for them....but no one gives a rat's behind what the logo looks like."
macnow's just being realisting knowing that none of those things will ever happen the philths...so might as well change the uni's! :D
just a bunch of drunk santa tossers anyway, we'll all think it's a new team!
I can't stand Macnow.
I love WIP! This is great! I listen at night Hawaii time so I hear Big Daddy. He tends to go off the deep end but than again it's 3:00 AM Philly time. I keep missing Eskin.
You're not missing anything.

Is he that much of a fleshpop?
I think so, but to be fair I think that of most everyone involved with covering sports nowadays. I think he's especially dickish, though.

WIP has been ripping Abreu all morning. Typical...
Schilling called in right now from Disneyland :-D
He's ripping Angelo and WIP to shreds.
Mike Miss and Gargano can't understand why Curt is ripping WIP for being a bad station.
HEY ANT'NY AND MIKEY -- YOU'VE BEEN RIPPING BOBBY ABREU ALL MORNING!!
yep. typical. although i have not heard it.
but i am just completely convinced that this town takes sports way too seriously, and on top of that the negadelphian will never die...people will always find something to bitch about.
if you seriously think about this. abreu wins a completely meaningless little game and people are complaining?
Some of these guys (fans) would rather continue to lose so they have something to piss and whine about. I am 100% convinced about that.
They don't want to win. They want to bitch, bitch, bitch.
"I can't believe Abreu won. Dat bum can't get his uniform dirty or hit in da clutch here. But he goes and wins da Derby. What a bum, dat guy is."

Love what Abreu did last night. He gave a heck of a show. :yay
I don't listen to WIP as much anymore. I only really listen when something happens. When it's a quiet day on the front I don't turn it on anymore because it's the same points over and over.
Now callers are pissed because Bobby didn't once acknowledge the city or the Phillis fans. My mother should call in as she said the same thing after he won. She was so preplexed why he didn't mention the Phillies. I asked my mom "Would you?" That shut her up.

Not one other guy mentioned his team...except Pudge...and that was only because he was in his hometown.
You guys listening to this stupid crap are masochists. Can't you move the radio dial over to some pleasant static instead? Bashing Abreu today is beyond dumb. I think even Koko the gorilla would sign to tell people to turn that crap off.
Abreu said "wassup Philly" in a postgame interview with Gudel...

Oh my god! Listening to Eskin I am actually understanding this whole thing. I am in my office actually yelling at the guy. I am ready to be the first caller from Hawaii and read this putz off! PG - you got my back?
I never understood why he makes people so angry. I don't think a WIP host has ever made me angry. They annoy me and bore me more than anything. Then I usually turn it off. Sometimes when people call Howard and scream and him and he cuts them off, I picture them grabbing their radio and slamming it on the floor. People really do get that mad at him.
People are dumb. Anything they dislike and can't change they hate. Anything they hate they'll spend time on. Even knowing this, we'll still do it.

So that's why my wife stays with me!
Either that or you're rich.
ok...so this week this station is replaying old games at night, calling it the "City of Champions" week where they played the last championship broadcast of each team in the city. which led to the first time i purposely tuned in to hear something, last night they played the radio broadcast of the 1980 NFC Championship game vs the cowboys.
does anyone else now see 2 glaring oddities on playing the 1980 NFCC Game? while i enjoyed it...these just occured to me
1) it's not the last eagles championship, 1960 was, as we all know they lost the superbowl in 80/81. now i can see them maybe not even having the radio broadcast of the 1960 game. BUT
2) it wasnt even the last NFCC Game the eagles won!?
My guess is they had the whole thing ready for use previously and just threw it in again.

Agreed. They defended it by claiming this was a team that was just absolutly pathetic for most of the 70's. Very bad times for the birds before Vermeil got there. I remember 1972 very well 2-11-1. :'(They made it to the NFCCG in Vermeils 5th year and the fact it was the Cowboys.
The birds should have won by 30 points. They blew a ton of opportunities. My god did they just destroy the Cowboys that day. Beautiful.
I'm listening to whoever's on right now (2 guys whom i can't differentiate the voices) to get any sort of updates regarding McDougle. I'm trying to figure out which is the most insane:
1. the callers who think the FO should give in to TO's demands because there's no way the Eagles have a shot at the SB without him.
2. the callers who think McNabb is the worst quarterback in the history of the NFL.
That's a trick question. It's actually the same guys just using a different name.
