Public radio-style sports wouldn't cut it, IMO, since sports segments on PRI and NPR shows and such are what you said -- tailored to the non-sports fan. 

Even WFAN is more highbrow than WEEI, and that's with Mike Francesa mumbling for five-plus hours a day.

(And I don't know Chad at all, just like his ideas since I've thought the same thing for a long time -- except that I like some of Glen Ordway's work, and it's apparent he likes none of it.)
