One of them Heard Bobby Doerr's name and asked who he was.......I jumped in and told him, in no uncertain terms, he's the guy that will always keep Dustin Pedroia from being the BEST second baseman in Red Sox history......Dustin nodded his head and just said, "that's the truth."
Most nights 98.5 FM has the Adam Jones show which is a disgrace......This guy just talks on forever constantly repeating himself three, four, or more times......I just can't stay tuned to his show and the only time I listen, off and on for five minutes at a time, is when I'm driving a distance.....about a month ago, he started a tirade about how Tom Brady was UNDERPAID.....Well, hell's bells, we all know that BUT---BRADY'S NOT COMPLAINING......He and the team have their own deal that BOTH are happy with.....after five straight agonizing minutes I changed the station......TWENTY FIVE minutes later a friend called me on my cell phone and told me about it......I told him I changed the station and he laughingly told me to turn it back on again.....JONES was STILL talking about it......I wasn't sure if it was because he had no callers or just his regular drivel......
Now I know the kid from before he got the show and he's a good kid BUT, even if he's under orders to conduct his show that way......Please HELP us real sports fans. Talk REAL sports.....
The crux of this story is that according to two different, reliable sources, help MAY be on the way in the form of National Award winning broadcaster, Jimmy Myers.....Much too long absent from the Boston sports scene Jimmy is by far the best of them all.....For reasons I won't get into here, he's been pretty much "black balled" in Boston.....A few years ago I did a sports talk show on cable TV and every few weeks Jimmy would be a guest......For one solid hour (the whole show) the phone was ringing "off the hook." In his own pleasant, inimitable manner Jimmy fielded each call as if he was talking to an old friend.....Many fans commented, for some time after, that he should be on every show......I didn't tell them BUT, Jimmy would fly in from New York, then fly out after the show.....
Jimmy would go through all that trouble just to help an old friend.....ME.....
Jimmy Myers has the spirit of Boston Sports past gone when the ONLY subject was sports and nobody cared who wanted more money or who was drunk, etc......SPORTS WAS KING IN BOSTON.....
Let all TRUE sports fans pray that JIMMY MYERS will soon be on the Boston airwaves and bringing
BACK the real BOSTON SPORTS TALK the greatest sports town in the USA so richly deserves.....
