    So long, Framingham Lou (and other WEEI discussions)

    My recollection is Gresh and Zo had a radio show together in the pre-98.5 days, I believe on a Rhode Island station, and Tanguay's 98.5 era was so unmemorable that it's easy to forget it ever happened. WEEI couldn't have made a bigger mistake in putting a lower quality xerox copy of Felger in...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    It should be noted that this week (or maybe it was last week), on a show where Felger and Mazz always call the owner/executives cheap, and that the cap is completely fake and how much the Pats suck for being "29th in cash spending over X years", whatever it is... Mazz bashed the team for...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    For years and years Felger wanted Brady out of here. He said Brady would fall off a cliff, he endlessly complained about Alex Guererro. He claimed Brady took steroids. He non-stop called Brady a cheater over Deflategate and still does to this day. As for Belichick, he has portrayed an...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    I'm sure they're not paying him much. But even then a contract isn't really needed for someone who provides so little value and is so easily replaceable. If another radio station tries to scoop Murray up, they easily replace him with someone just as cheap.

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Bashing Belichick to death and having no appreciation whatsoever of what he, Brady and the team as a whole has provided them, both personally and professionally fits exactly what the show has done its entire time on the air. Don't forget that their attitude year after year as the team was...

    So long, Framingham Lou (and other WEEI discussions)

    This has been my opinion ever since WEEI made the move. Adam Jones has never been anything other than a Felger clone who lacks any of the entertainment and refuses under any circumstances to give the local teams praise (as bad as Felger is about it, he at least does it occasionally). I get that...

    RIP Toucher and Rich Show ... It was fun while it lasted

    All this drama reminds me of the Opie and Anthony breakup (which may be fitting as didn't Toucher and Rich take their timeslot on BCN once it returned to doing local morning shows?). Lots of drama behind the scenes for years then things end pretty abruptly. In their case after Anthony was fired...

    This is now: BB and the direction of the Patriots

    On the topic of his sons, hard to have any sympathy because that's the risk one accepts with nepotism. Maybe his sons really are good at what they do. They do coach on the side of the ball that is performing their duty. But when one hires their sons, it will always be questioned whether they...

    This is now: BB and the direction of the Patriots

    I'm a big time Belichick homer, but it is time for him to move on. I absolutely will defend him tooth and nail over anyone trying to tear down his past accomplishments. He has proven all he ever needs to prove. But for all coaches/GMs in professional sports there is a shelf life and it is over...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Throughout the entire Brady run here, on Monday the Felger and Mazz reaction would be that they only won the game because the opponent sucked. On the rare occasion that the Pats lost a game, it was armageddon. Oh, and throughout a lot of those years we also had the show declaring Brady a...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Mazz has often admitted in the past that he doesn't even watch the games for the local teams at times. Can't expect him to pay any attention nationally. He's been mailing it in for a number of years.

    ESPN Is Pathetic

    Can't say I'm much of a Mina Kines fan, but the take is idiotic; far too many athletes that go into media suck at it. They were good at being an athlete, not necessarily talking about it. Or they start good at it and start mailing it in (ex. Tony Romo). That she's never played in the NFL is...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Eagles have won 10 divisions since 2001 and have made the playoffs 14 times since then. For the Pats it has been 17 divisions and 18 playoff appearances. That includes 6-3 in the Super Bowl for the Pats and 1-2 for the Eagles. The Eagles are certainly better than the Patriots right now, but any...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    At least for Felger, I've never denied that he's the best at what he does in the market. While it wasn't literally the first thing I thought of when I woke up and heard about the trade, I will admit the years of Felger and Mazz relentlessly attacking Marcus Smart made me think about how they are...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    First player name that comes to mind for me in terms of non stop attacks from Felger and Mazz is Marcus Smart. They’ve been going after him for years. You’d think today will be a massive celebration. But knowing them it’s a virtual guarantee that they’ll be blasting the trade today.

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Felger loathes wide receivers. Case in point Randy Moss having a record breaking season and Felger whining and moaning the whole time about it (granted part of that is also because he is a footie pajama wearing Packers fan who hated the Vikings). He often makes disparaging remarks about...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Wait a second here... according to Felger, Belichick doesn't care about talent, only about "value" and Kraft is extremely cheap. So in what universe can that be true and the Pats also go after Lamar, give him a huge guaranteed contract in place of the cheap rookie contract Mac Jones is on and...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Indeed. Most logical thinking fans have better things to do than to wait on hold for 45 minutes to an hour all so you can go at Felger or Mazz for 30 seconds on the air. I sometimes wonder about people like Tommy from Lynn who literally call every single day and how boring their life must be if...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    It should be noted that while Felger holds a "holier than thou" stance towards the fans, as if he is better than us and above us all, he can hold that stance only because he's not a fan of the local teams (sans the Bruins). Last year someone caught him on video on a plane after a Bucs -Celtics...

    Just What is Apex Mountain: Rewatchables discussion thread

    The original Spoorloos is among the best foreign films I've ever seen including an all time great ending. I've never bothered with the American remake which apparently changed things.
