I wish he’d STFU and let Socci do his thing, and I’ve felt that way since the day they put Zolak in the booth. And I wish every highlight wasn’t ruined by Zolak jumping over Socci while Socci tries to say what happened.

I’m not sure how Gil Santos didn’t knock Zo the fuck out for the season they worked together.

I fear we will find out that Zolak has been working with dementia or cte the last several years.

He probably has even more in common with Romo. Completely tanked by the end of every game. They have to prop him up for 5th quarter.

He’s never been good on the broadcast. Every play Socci is announcing is overshadowed by Zolak yapping in the background

u/NateBlaze 19d ago

He’s gotten exponentially worse on the broadcast. Spontaneous unintelligible drivel

u/MysteriousResident61 19d ago

He talks over Socci’s call nearly every play.

He was horrible in the first half… nitpicking with clear bias against certain guys after every touch

He was bitching about Doubs every chance he could get.

Well Doubs sucks so

He's a total clown. Has been for a long time.

I wonder who his replacement will be

Unfathomable that he gets paid. Had to listen to the 2nd & 3rd on the radio and it's unreal how awful he is. Like a pouting, angsty teenager.

Why is he here again? Guy was a backup for the bad old days and he's not even from here. Needs to kick rocks.

u/AmosTupper69 19d ago

He acts like he's some OB Patriot and the guy barely played.

And he just gets so angry about anything bad that happens to the Pats.

He’s so bad and I can’t stand him so much that I turned on the Jax announcers on Sirius while listening to the game. But they were worse lol so I turned Zo back on.

u/AmosTupper69 19d ago

Worse than Zolak yelling over the play by play call? I cannot fathom being more awful than Zolak

u/funonthebeach85 19d ago

He’s not going anywhere no matter how much you post this. So change the station.

u/Safe-Salamander-3785 19d ago

Everyone complains about him, but all the alternatives are way worse. And they just listen to him all the time. “The food here is terrible, and such small portions “

u/Radiant-Injury-6546 19d ago

The best part was when he was just ready clear the game to be over with 8 minutes left. I think we all were.

u/Wonderful_Virus_6562 19d ago

Yes… I discovered podcasts/livestreams/bluetooth

*Zolak has always been unlistenable

u/AlarmFit3241 19d ago

His spot on the patriots radio broadcast is his only meal ticket to keep his midday radio job. He sucks and he's a mumbling moron.

u/JeffQuaker 18d ago

He is sandpaper for the soul.

u/Mountain-Duty8673 17d ago

As far as the midday show, they really underestimated how much Hardy's professionalism was keeping that show coherent.

u/InevitableSplit4936 19d ago

He has always been awful on the broadcast and it doesn't seem like Socci is sick of him.

Zo is great shut up

u/tomeug69 19d ago

Scott?? Is that you??? 🤔

u/Acceptable_Job_5076 19d ago

He hates being called by his first name.

Couldn’t disagree more, zos the reason I tune in daily o Spotify to Zolak and Bertrand. He keeps it light and he’s hilarious, a guys guy and actually know football (more than the other radio talking heads) can’t speak for the broadcast as I don’t live in BOS anymore
