I'm about fucking done with the Patriots, man. I'm almost at the point that if they moved, I'd almost be happy because I wouldn't have to hear people talk about them for 12 straight months.Let’s continue the talk about the patriots dysfunction instead. *click*
I feel EXACTLY the same way and I don't ever listen to those guys. But its the same on EEI. All Patriots bullshit all the time. I don't even like basketball, but please, dear god if you aren't going to talk Red Sox until the summer or Bruins for some inexplicable reason, talk about the C's instead of football.I'm about fucking done with the Patriots, man. I'm almost at the point that if they moved, I'd almost be happy because I wouldn't have to hear people talk about them for 12 straight months.
Like BSF said, the Bruins have a game tonight and they're dismantling the Leafs. The Celts played yesterday and won a really good game. The Sox are 13-2 -- the first team to win 13 out of 15 game since the 1987 Milwaukee Brewers and these three knuckle draggers want to talk gossip and Patriot soap opera bullshit.
Enough, man.
That is complete and utter bullshit.It's still too early for the casual listeners to talk Sox, and there aren't any casual listeners for C's/B's, so it has to be Pats. The hard core sports fan isn't the customer for this medium.
Are you sure about this? There are no causal Bruins listeners.Yep. Lots of Bruins talk likely today.
"I told you to be nervous"
"You're right Mike"
"Tuukka again - this guy just craps his pants in big games"
"Yep"
"Can't trust him"
"Nope"
"And Pastrnak and Marchand back to being playoff losers. They almost fooled us for two games there."
"They're losers, Mike"
"And where's Donato? Can't play him 'cause he's too young, right? Huh."
There's definitely a job out there as Pitching Coach for some lucky franchise with Mazz's name all over it. Lucky for Mookie that none of the other pitching coaches thought to mitigate Mookie's strengths.Mazz still has a problem with Mookie Betts and says you can pitch to him to mitigate his strengths. Says Mookie "does not scare me". This guy used to be a national baseball writer, correct?
Mookie doesn't scare me either. He seems like a nice fellow.Mazz still has a problem with Mookie Betts and says you can pitch to him to mitigate his strengths. Says Mookie "does not scare me". This guy used to be a national baseball writer, correct?

Wouldn't surprise me if he didn't even know their record, he crucified Alex Cora around a week or so ago for saying the team was playing good, during a stretch when the team went 8-1 and was on an 8 game winning streak.Is Mazz still bragging that he doesn't watch the games? To be scared (or not) by Betts, it might be helpful to actually see most of his at-bats. (Crazy, I know.)
Typical Felger and Mazz. Nothing you see is real. Anything you enjoy sucks. If a sporting event makes you feel good, you're a worthless yahoo. Sports is supposed to be one shitty day after another. Later. Rinse. Repeat.Felger and Mazz says Celtics are not overachieving because they don't win on the road and the 76ers are all kids.
Have they seen our roster?
Mazz: I know that Rozier has done it for three nights in a row, but can he do it next year? I feel that's the real question here, Mike. And I don't think that he can. I just don't think that he can.Caller: Last night's game was fun to watch. Rozier is on fire these playoffs.
Feljer: Green Teamer!

10 years ago, weren't they saying, "Mr. Purcell, can I pleeeeese have the key to the boys' room. I have to go real bad."?I wonder what they were saying 10 years ago when the Celts opened up the playoffs with six consecutive road losses.
All they are saying in the real world is that this is an inspired team led by a great coach and terrific general manager.I should have never turned this show on today. I lasted all of 5 minutes before I had to turn it off. The only thing that matters is the game was at home and we can’t get too excited about it. Did Felger even watch the game? How can you not get excited after that game? I find it remarkable their ratings have not decreased after they continue to take a dump on everything the local teams do. I keep saying the worm will eventually turn on them and I continue to be wrong.
Caller: Rozier is could be the next WestbrookCaller: Last night's game was fun to watch. Rozier is on fire these playoffs.

That’s a different Murray. Jim is the 3rd guy on Felger and Mazz. Joe Murray is the degenerate gambler who yells about stuff in the middle of interviews, etc.+ 1000 what do they want 4 boston teams to suck because that will not happahed good lord no wonder T and R and EEI get all the inviews
i hope they are acting murray had a gamble plom
Teasing Monday ....Felger and Mazz says Celtics are not overachieving because they don't win on the road and the 76ers are all kids.
Have they seen our roster?
Nope. It'll be about the coach. Brad Stevens is over rated in their mind so it'll be about Brown being *that* bad.Teasing Monday ....
“It’s really not impressive, Tony ... it just isn’t. When those kids aren’t soiling themselves, the 76ers are sleepwalking through the series ...”
“Right Mike, and the defense on that baseline jumper that sent them into overtime was an abomination. Should have been over in regulation.”
“You’re right, and that overtime period is going to come back to haunt them, Tony. It’s gonna cost them the rest of this series. Just wait ...”
What will they say about the triple screen and the convergence point to draw Embiid away from the rim for the Horford game winner? Should Covington have had inside position on that or could he even?Teasing Monday ....

Well the are starfuckers — loud mouth mediocrities typically are — and in this instance the star certainly knows what he is talking about:Nope. It'll be about the coach. Brad Stevens is over rated in their mind so it'll be about Brown being *that* bad.
"Brad Stevens is a good coach I'll give you that. But when you go against such a TURD like Brown it'll cost you a series"
"I know Mike! This Cetics would be down two games to one if the 6ers had a mediocre coach. Their coach cost them these games!"
You cannot write this description any better. I was listening yesterday hoping to catch some of the latest on the Colangelo story and instead they were reacting to Stevens's comments about the game from his phone interview on the previous show. They were looking for Stevens to throw Rozier, et al under the bus for taking rushed shots and also for the obligatory dig at the "stat nerds ruining the game" when Stevens talked about the open shots he wants them to take and how to get them. Essentially their understanding of basketball can be summed by the belief that it's only a good shot if it goes in. Painfully stupid.But their overall knowledge and understanding of the game of basketball, the skills and abilities that each of the Celtics bring to the floor each night, and their general awareness of what is going on around the NBA is totally embarrassing. I don't consider myself James Naismath or John Wooden by any stretch, but all four of them (Felger, Mazz, Murray, and Stewart) are veritable troglodytes when it comes to basketball. The past month or two has been a particularly terrible stretch of radio for them.
I concur. From March 2010:They're officially worse than the old Big Show at this stage and might as well just call the program "Trolling for Dollars."
I caught it and thought Felger came off as an enormous tool. It's one thing to show passion and get fired-up, it's quite another to feign outrage and resort to shtick. I thought the Pittsburgh guy really exercised quite a bit of restraint to not bail on the interview sooner. The irony that Felger is from freakin' Wisconsin and he's sitting there describing Pittsburgh as "backwater" and shitting all over the city, even while it experiences a highly publicized renaissance, is rich. Felger's act has grown as tired as Ordway's down the dial.
Shank's on the same page with Mazz...has adopted the Tomato Can plan of attack w/regard to Major League Baseball. All games meaningless until October, got it?Mazz is now officially a parody account. Every single game a local team wins is because of weak competition. I was sick in bed yesterday and flipped to the show on TV to find him ranting about the quality of baseball and the AL East in particular. "The Blue Jays suck! The Rays suck! The Orioles suck!" I'm sure if they Sox take the Houston series they'll find some reason this isn't the "real" Astros. Next he and Felger damned the whole league on quality of play and players. "There were more strikeouts than hits [or something like that] in April! These guys stink" with nary a word about strikeouts not being meaningfully worse than groundouts... CLICK
