Beasley owns the local sports radio station in Fort Myers.  Just cut one of the hosts of the sole local show to save money.  Must need that coin for the big purchase.

any of your boys over there know what this means? if this company opens up the check book and can buy the eagles that might put wip out of business

[SD]

I know they meet with the Phils and Eagles every year, and every year they think they're close, then they don't get them.

2 weeks ago all the Philly Greater Media stations fired a shtein ton of people. I guess we now know why.

those guys only work on 1 year deals?

Not really sure, I just know every time their deal is up the Fanatic pushes hard to get them...like outbids WIP but they stick with WIP because that's what they know.

god i remember when the 28/58 came out and being so excited for it...then hating it because I would almost always forget to catch it when it would flash...the half hour wait was excruciating

[PhillyPhreak54]

Oh man that's a good flashback. That's the only way I could get Phillies scores when we first moved away. That and headline news' on the 20 sports update.

Also Tom Jackson told ESPN he's done

[QB Eagles]

Who is even on that shtein anymore... ESPN should have moved Boomer off Countdown while they're replacing the rest of the parts, freshen up the whole thing.

TJ left in his own he could have stayed if he wanted but berman  is leaving next year to be replaced by wingo so I guess he figured it was time

im probably the only one but I still like berman a lot on the nfl stuff

I liked Chris carter but in general the changes they have made have been good...I love dilfer and they kept him for an expanded role Randy moss is very good and I'm guessing Woodson will be good...certainly better than Ray...and good riddance to that piece of garbage ditka

TJ was the only reason to watch anything on that zesty channel. 

He gone.  I gone.

angelo cataldi: My contract expires at the end of next year. I think that will be the end of the run, and I will walk away really happy.

Westbrook fired from post game live

Yet Rendell stays

Nice choice CSN
