Matt Cassell traded, PS

[Maureen Carney]

WEEI was live until 5p today. John Rider and Lenny Megliola took calls on the trade. Former Pats backup QB and Big Show contributor Scott Zolak called in as well.

But as I mentioned in my previous reply, WBZ apparently was on the ball, getting Gil Santos on the phone for his take.

And I salute WBZ for having that kind of news-sense, since sports is a big deal in Boston.  But what I heard on WEEI was syndicated, which is a sad commentary on the state of broadcasting today-- back in the not-so-long ago good old days, there was always somebody around doing live and local in a top ten market like Boston... On WEEI when I listened to the syndicated show, nobody was discussing the Patriots at all-- nationally, I am told, people dislike the coach and don't wanna talk about what the Patriots are doing.
