As for the afternoon show, I hate to pile onto the guy, but Brynn is just not my cup of tea. He is wishy-washy on his opinions, and when he does take a stand, he is so far out in left field (standing by himself), you almost feel sorry for him. Kerr was a mile better than Brynn.

Kerr's awfulness as a PBP man has caused many to forget that he's actually an excellent broadcaster. He did an amazing job as the host of the Flames broadcasts, and he and Boomer were a better than average tandem in the afternoons. Boomer may not have been Joe Sports, but my god the Fan four years ago is HBO Sunday night-quality compared to what it has become.
Steinberg is a nice guy and he tries, but much like Loubo, when the biggest part of your job is your voice, you're playing from behind when you've got the pipes these guys do. You've gotta bring an excess amount of knowledge, information and entertainment to make up for your handicap. Pat doesn't do that, but he's surviving based on being young/willing to work for nothing and appearing to be a genius next to the expired light-bulb that is Brynn.
The Fan should seriously consider sacking up and moving over to FM; Radio is dying as is, younger audiences rarely if ever flip to the AM dial, and FM would give the listenership a boost and allow them to hire good sportscasters. It would never happen, but it probably should.
