With Ted Sarandis moving on from WEEI, there seems to be some momentum behind filling the position with interim fill-in Mike Adams. Personally, I don’t find Adams to be an appealing replacement. I was not a fan of his work at NECN and I absolutely detest his performances on The Big Show where 9 out of every 10 comments that he makes are totally inane. I haven’t listened to him host any shows on WEEI on his own, so I can’t judge him there. Perhaps he is better in that role, but I’m skeptical.
With all of that being said, I was never a fan of Sarandis either. While he certainly differed from the other hosts at the station in terms of style, he could be equally abrasive to callers especially when they didn’t agree with him. Sarandis also didn’t have a firm grasp of reality on the role of college sports in a pro sports town like Boston, and I found his preaching on that topic to be tiresome. BC will never get the attention that a school like the University of Tennessee will receive because of the existence of pro sports in Boston. The University of Tennessee receives so much attention because there are precisely no pro sports in Knoxville. I can’t think of a major city in America with pro sports that supports college athletics in the way Sarandis wants Boston to support them.
I guess the bottom line is I don’t listen to WEEI in the evening, and it doesn’t look like that’s going to change anytime soon.
