compass - mike gleason....john congemi and eamon mcananey

Who they hell are they?

Glad Brent is calling the BCS championship.  I was afraid we were going to get Tirico and Gruden again.

congemi was a great qb for pitt....i have no idea who the other two are other than seeing their names listed on the weekly college football schedules

What a jackass: http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/phillygossip/975-The-Fanatic-host-arrested-for-allegedly-assaulting-a-cab-driver.html

I worked for him when I was at the Fanatic, he's the last person in the world I'd expect that from.

LOL @ anyone in the sports media (especially radio) thinking they're a celebrity.  Not even the national guys like Rome or Patrick are real celebrities, let alone some local guy.

now that a manning is in the sb again the eli peyton sportscenter commercial is back in steady rotation

Brian Westbrook will be a new host/call in guy on 97.5

Loudest applause at the Skins game was when they showed BWest...standing O for 5 minutes.

[Munson]

I meant to post that when miss announced it but forgot.


I used to think in his interviews that he sounded too antisocial and unclear to be a radio or TV guy but every time I've heard him on 97.5 since he retired he's sounded louder and more clear and etc. Will be cool to listen to him, he's generally pretty honest about the goings on at NovaCare like Trot

WIP is pimping a major station announcement at 3pm

I'm thinking WIP is getting the Phillies in FM, that will be sweet

[MDS]

if 1210 and WIP are owned by the same company it obviously makes sense

if they arent then i dont see it.

maybe its to announce that eskin is dead.

[SunMo]

it could make sense if the rights are up, but yes 1210 and WIP are sister stations

[Munson]

Poor AM station, just lost its only ratings
