First thought upon confirming Friday the weeks-long expectation that longtime 98.5 The Sports Hub evening host Adam Jones is jumping to WEEI to host its afternoon-drive program: There’s a better chance of Matt Patricia starting at slot receiver for the Patriots next season than there is of the new show — co-hosted by Meghan Ottolini and also featuring Christian Arcand — overtaking The Sports Hub’s powerhouse “Felger and Mazz” show in the Nielsen Audio ratings.
That’s not a knock on WEEI’s revamped trio (or Patricia’s three-cone drill scores, for that matter), though I do have skepticism about Jones’s approach that I’ll get to in a second.
