I remember Upton Bell's famous quote... "Within a year they'll (WEEI) be off the
air."

Remember, it was Eddie's hiring that precipitated the flip to sports. The
station was built around him. 

I believe at the time WEEI was only the sixth or seventh station in the country
to go all-sports -- WFAN had only flipped three years before, WIP a tad more
recently. The naysayers had reason to believe all-sports could flop. 

If there ever was a market for all-sports to succeed, it'd be this one.
