Ordway, Merloni & Fauria airs weekdays 2-6 p.m. on WEEI. and features longtime Boston radio personality Glenn Ordway, former Red Sox infielder Lou Merloni and former Patriots tight end Christian Fauria.
The Ordway, Merloni & Fauria podcast is a must-listen for any Patriots fan or sports enthusiast. With a variety of perspectives and guests, the show offers a comprehensive look at the team and their performance. Fauria's personal experience as a former Patriot gives great insight, while Meg brings a unique angle to the discussions. Mr. Merloni adds depth to the conversations, making it a well-rounded show.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the absence of Ordway. Many listeners feel that he never added anything valuable to the discussions and often made stupid comments. Without him, the flow of the show feels much more natural and enjoyable. This has resulted in many fans committing to listening more frequently now that Ordway is no longer part of it.
Overall, this is a great show that features entertaining banter and lively debates between the trio. It's refreshing to hear different opinions and passionate arguments among them. However, one potential downside is that they don't solely focus on the Patriots. For those who are solely interested in football, receiving notifications or excitedly tuning in only to find episodes centered around other sports like Red Sox can be disappointing.
Moving forward from its minor drawback, The Ordway, Merloni & Fauria podcast remains highly recommended for avid sports talk radio fans. The hosts bring professional playing experience to their analysis and are skillfully orchestrated by "The Prince of Darkness" himself. Their in-depth breakdowns of New England sports provide granular details without losing touch with an Everyman perspective. Overall, it is an engaging and informative podcast that should not be missed by sports enthusiasts.
