The Guys

Ian Tasso: Host, Director

A Boston diehard through and through. Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins - you name it, he's laughed and cried it. When he's not working at Fenway or the Garden, he's Interning with WEEI, Editing the Sports section of the Beacon, or writing at the Boston Globe.

Alex Tam: Co-Host, Audio A Denver boy, he lives and dies Nuggets, Broncos and Rockies. After working on the set of TV shows across campus, Tam reeled in the best gig in town - an Internship with the Red Sox.

Jesse Liebman: Co-Host, NHL

Anything hockey - you come to this guy. He breathes ice. He lives ice. He eat, sleeps, and dreams ice. A Rangers fan through and through, if this WEBN Sports Anchor isn't bound for a career at the rink - who is?

Tom Nieradka: Producer, Tech

Dreams of Jose Reyes, David Wright, and Johan Santana fill this Mets diehard's head. And when he's not thinking Mets or Jets, this NY fan is directing Emerson sports broadcasts like nobodies business.

Ben Barker: Co-Host, Marketing The only human being who rivals our host with his Boston worship. A Sox fan above all, he knows the inside and out of the basepaths, pitcher's mound and everything in between. You can catch the new Last Caller anchoring weekly WEBN sportscasts.

Gabe Souza: Co-Host, Writer

The newest member of Last Call. A fellow Boston die-hard, Souza has been Tasso's right-hand man at the Beacon since early January - and together, the two have been transforming the sports page into one that would give the Globe a run for its money.

Joe Ballway: Boston Bruins

Meet Mr. Bruins. The greatest 'Hub Joe' since Mr. Thornton, Ballway is the biggest Boston Hockey brain to join the guys since Kathryn Tappen - and not only is he nearly as good looking, but he's also here to stay. A budding sports journalist from Holy Cross, for everything Black and Gold, look no further than this man.

Nick Traicoff: Fantasy Football

Finally - they have one. After months of buffooning around on air, comparing Drew Brees to Peyton Manning, and AP to LT, Last Call's fantasy prayers have finally been answered - by this man: their new resident Fantasy Football expert. You want a championship? Well, you came to the right place.

Darren Grove: Power Rankings

He's ruthless, he's to the point, and he's got Last Call's final verdict when it comes to laying down the ranking law on the MLB and the NFL. Each week, Darren churns out a new set of rankings, giving the ups, downs and all arounds from the Sox to the Patriots, the Yankees to the Giants, and everything in between. And yes, that includes the Orioles.
