Well IMHO, 'EEI had come up with something like Patriots Monday. After all,
they have recently lost their top talk show host (Eddie Andelman) to the
competition. Good move for WEEI, especially if the Pats have another
successful season.

I thought at least some sort of studio facility for Wisconsin Electric Eels,
Inc at Fenway was a done deal - that's what I understand from some of the
on-the-air discussion. Don't know about the sports bar thing, though.
