Do you really think he's intentionally cranking out total misinformation, without a correction, to simply rile up people that know better? Rollins bit Ainge 25 years ago, it's not as if anyone under 35 would know that Felger's just "trying to generate discussion". The average fan will take it at face value and assume the hometown GM bit another player instead of the exact opposite. It's dishonest at best, irresponsible and slanderous at worst.
I know sports radio is aimed at the lowest common denominator,and I truly don't take it very seriously, but Felger does this stuff all the time. He knows much less about sports than 90% of the SoSH membership, and I can barely listen to his show anymore. Whenever I do, I hear crap like today, and normally I quickly turn the channel in disgust. Today I listened when they came back from break to see if Felger would make a correction, but he didn't. He still has no idea he's completely wrong, so he continues to trumpet his smarmy opinion unchecked. Felger is insufferable. I know he's much loved on this board, but he's all sizzle and no steak. His sports knowledge sucks, which would be fine if it wasn't, you know... his fucking
job.
Just now they read a deluge of texts correcting Felger about the Tree Rollins/Danny Ainge thing, all the while you could practically hear Felger smirking. This is what he does.
Shortly after the Sports Hub launched, there was a segment about the station on one of the local news shows. One of the clips was of Felger saying "this will really get them going", or something to that effect, right before the show was about to go on air. When he feels there's not much to talk about with one of the teams, he goes into message board troll mode.
Anyway, I agree with jsinger. The B's should be driving the show today. They could easily reset the conservation for drive-time.
