Indecipherable Football Game On WBOQ

At this very moment, 1:35 pm EDST Saturday Sept 30th, WBOQ-FM,COL Gloucester, MA
is broadcasting a football game.  I was just fooling around checking the FM dial 
when I happened upon it, and noticed one thing:  the distortion level is 
off-the-charts!  I couldn't tell you the names of the teams, the score
(not that I care) nor could I make out anything the announcers (who 
sound like the Young Turks on AirAmerica BTW) are saying.  Thanks to
the clarity of FM, the drums sound like the coda to the finale of the
Shostakovich Fifth Symphony (didn't Jerry Williams once say "those
drums are driving me mad"?).  Bob Bittner used to opine that the football
games on Saturday afternoons probably only reached the family members
of the players, some alumni and the advertisers;  all of them must be confused
today.
