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

That is definitely dumber. It is so hard to win a title. Denver has been loading up for a couple years with no Lombardis to show for it. I would rather be a contender every year than have a loaded team once every 3-4 gears
I know it's 99% because of bill and Brady but I'll leave 1% to the strategy of being a contender every year rather than loading up for 1 year.luckiestman said:
I never stop getting amazed how frequently callers get dumped for cursing. They're not even trying to troll the show by sneaking a word on the air. It's just a lack of self control and an inability to speak without sounding like a knuckle dragger.
Can't wait until tomorrow. GB's kicker misses his attempt to win the game, Ghost nails his. Still wonder why they gave him that contract, Felger?
I think tomorrow will have less bashing than we'd expect. But we will have them bashing Pats fans who thought the Giants wouldn't give them a good game.
On certain things, they will take their lumps and Mazz's fellow hosts will make fun of him for his criticisms of them signing Gostkowski. Mazz will make the point that it took him 10 years to make a big kick.
WIth them getting by this game, the Broncos losing (with Manning looking absolutely useless) and the Jets losing, they will get back on the subject of how boring the rest of the regular season will be and how the Pats will hardly be challenged the rest of the way (they'll completely dismiss Cincinnati as usual).
Their big hopes tomorrow and the rest of the season will be that Edelman's injury is major and that the Pats face the Giants in the Super Bowl

It's Mazz that gets on Ghost, saying he's overrated. It's Felger who says they never should have franchised him initially or signed him to that contract. Whenever he brings up not re-signing Revis, the first thing he says is, "They didn't have to re-sign Gostkowski, that would have given you $4M...."
And he constantly brings up the fact that he's the highest paid kicker in the league, and "Justin Tucker is just as good, and his contract is half of Gostkowski's !!!"
Nate Silver and the flunkies at 538 lost a ton of credibility when they created this controversy. Hard to take anything they say seriously going forward; the stats they used to "prove" their point could be debunked by most high school kids.
Did they ever fallow up on the stats? A guy called in and said they were something like 24th in the league with 9 fumbles (and they have actually only lost 4). I actually called in and asked that they look at the rank, minus Brady's fumbles, because the deflation of a ball wouldn't matter in that case and the call screener said, I'll ask them about it, but don't get your hopes up.
I looked in up, non-strip sack fumbles are at 4 for the pats for the year.
Carlton from Norwell might be the worst thing to ever happen to that radio station.
On Monday, I listened to show for literally five minutes (my podcast ended and I was a few minutes from my house) and Felger was reading Tuesday's show and how he was down in the Kimbrel trade. Did he ever explain why?
Everyone else was happy with it.

Felger was reading from the main board thread on it? The prospect-o-philes around these parts are pretty pissed off last time I checked.
... conveniently ignoring that this is essentially the strategy that the Sox took once Koji went down (Taz, Ross, Machi(!), etc.) with predictably disastrous results.
Did anyone point out that he is forever preaching that you shouldn't trade horses for ponies? Ergo, San Diego was the one making the mistake?
This was exactly my thought as well. In the past they've killed the team for doing too little, now its that they've given up too much? There is no action that can be taken that won't elicit the contrarian response.
"When the Cardinals need a closer, they find some bearded nobody who all of a sudden throws 98. Why can't you do that?"
I saw Felger walking down the street near the Beantown Pub on Friday night. Shook his hand and told him I enjoy his show sometimes. He laughed and said thanks.
Then, I'm 99% certain he was sitting right in front of me in the balcony at the My Morning Jacket show. Rocking out and having a good time. He seemed to be enjoying himself.

What exactly happened on Friday? Sounds like Holley made some comment about Felger on D&H, then a few minutes later Felger said that everyone in the media off the record knows Brady did something, then Minihane lost his mind on twitter.
Minihane seems pretty unhinged in general. I used to think it's an act, but there seems to be something legitimately wrong with him.

Fred just said that it was Felger and talking bout him and Rich being at the same show.
Greg Bedard to Mazz after he said Brady wasn't good Monday night: "What? Are you kidding me? You're insane. You have no idea what you're talking about."
Pretty much speaking for the fans.

Bedard gave Brady the Number One "Stud" of the game (in their "3 Up / 3 Down" game). Said he was the only QB in the league who could win that game considering the lack of open receivers, poor running attack and porous O-Line play in the passing game. Mazz, of course, chose Brady as his Number Three "Dud" of the game.
One guy re-watched the game with the All-22 film while charting each play. The other gay watched the game once in a bar with his buddies. Wonder who I should believe...

All-tell-ya-what-Mike!, all Mazz had to do after the game was listen to Brady himself. A large percentage of all offensive plays run were non-contests. Draw your conclusions from that.
Does Mazz watch all games at a bar? He mentions it all the time
Mike I was at the bar so I had no volume but INSERT HOT TAKE
Must be awful to be Mazz's wife.
'Honey, lemme tell ya somethin. You think this Pot Roast is great? I gut news for yuh... Not so great!'

or Honey i need the TV to watch the sox this guy tore a ACL trying to play basketball
Is this a new Felger and Mazz? Praising the Patriots for a gutsy, tough effort undermanned and on the road?
can't speak for Mazz (because I dont listen), but that was Felger's whole deal last night in the post game. His praise for the team's performance was effusive and sincere.
Ha James Stewart retwerted this (not my post)
Wow. @FelgerAndMazz aren't antagonistic & are almost likeable today. Hope this isn't an anomaly. What's going on @iamjamesstewart? Confused

I didn't listen, but it sounds like Felger went on rampage today about the Price signing as evidenced below. Why is he using the acts or lack thereof of the prior baseball operations team as a bludgeon against the new one? I'm not really following his argument here.

I'd say it depends on who Brady has to throw to but if it's everyone (besides Lewis) I think Flagler is right.
