ENTERCOM Sports WEEI/BOSTON and the WEEI SPORTS RADIO NETWORK have announced their final line-up of 2014-'15 NFL analysts.
Returning to the station are NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS quarterback TOM BRADY and coach BILL BELICHICK for exclusive, post-game weekly appearances every MONDAY morning and afternoon respectively. PATRIOTS wide receiver JULIAN EDELMAN, defensive end CHANDLER JONES and All-Pro defensive tackle VINCE WILFORK will also make weekly MONDAY appearances on WEEI throughout the season, while PATS linebacker JEROD MAYO will be a FRIDAY regular.
New this season are former PATRIOT Pro Bowlers RODNEY HARRISON, TUESDAYS and FRIDAYS; and TEDY BRUSCHI MONDAY afternoons. They join another new addition, HALL OF FAME wide receiver and NFL NETWORK analyst MICHAEL IRVIN, who will appear FRIDAY afternoons on WEEI. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED NFL analyst and award-winning columnist PETER KING, WEEI.COM PATRIOTS beat writer CHRIS PRICE, ESPN’s NFL Insider ADAM SCHEFTER, NFL.COM fantasy football expert MIKE FABIANO and TOM E. CURRAN of COMCAST SPORTS round out the station’s weekday cast of pro football experts.
WEEI’s NFL coverage extends to the weekend with RODNEY HARRISON’s "Safety Blitz" program SATURDAY mornings. SUNDAY programming includes "The Fantasy Football Hour," as well as in-depth pre- and post-game PATS coverage featuring STEVE DEOSSIE, CHRIS PRICE, GREG DICKERSON, FRED SMERLAS and BUTCH STEARNS. And again this year, WEEI is BOSTON’s home for NFL play-by-play with MONDAY, THURSDAY, and SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL plus select SUNDAY afternoon games as well as the conference playoffs and Super Bowl XLIX.
ENTERCOM BOSTON VP/Market Manager PHIL ZACHARY says WEEI is making a statement with this group of experts. “As an elite, national media brand, WEEI must assume a premier position in covering the most followed pro sports league in America,” he said. “The pedigree of these contributors is beyond comparison, and I credit (WEEI Brand Manager) KEVIN GRAHAM with assembling a who’s who line-up that’s second-to-none in BOSTON, or anywhere.” WEEI’s comprehensive NFL coverage launches on-air and on-line effective TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2nd. All experts and interviews will be archived and available on demand at WEEI.COM or via the WEEI live app.
