Here’s a good way to take you into the weekend. You may or may not have heard this gem on SportsCenter the other day:

Some takeaways from the audio:
- We all know now where Jade McCarthy goes for her sports talk when she’s in town.
- Nice save by Sal Pal, but he is a paid employee of 97.5 The Fanatic.
- WIP is now using this sound in one of their running promos which is interesting because an inside source told me, “For the first time ever, WIP is mentioning ESPN/97.5 The Fanatic as a station – aside from Josh Innes.” Of course, the promo cuts short before our pal Sal mentions the station he works for.
Now let’s take a Philly Influencer poll. What station are you listening to the most this football season? Any favorite go-to hosts you love? Any ones you hate? Let us know in the comments or on social media on Twitter and Facebook.
