I was driving back from a meeting and heard this, it was all kinds of awesome "I'm channelling my inner Jim Nance." because he was called out by Borges of all people for being too negative.Holy crap, this is amazing. Felger going over the Moss thing in a slow, deliberate tone with soothing music in the background.
Right down the hall or not, he could have just as easily called into 98.5, still has to be a slap in the face of 98.5. I don't blame him, he seems to have a decent relationship with D&H, and EEI kisses their ass on a daily basis so it makes sense, but still... 98.5 is the flagship station of the Pats.I didn't hear the show but Dale and Holley usually do their Monday Football shows right at Patriot Place, so Kraft was probably right down the hall.
Did you know that WEEI pays for rights for the Patriots Monday and Friday shows? I am pretty sure that is the reason he has to go on that station today.I was driving back from a meeting and heard this, it was all kinds of awesome "I'm channelling my inner Jim Nance." because he was called out by Borges of all people for being too negative.

Is he riding the Schefter express on this -- or is his reaction conditioned by a thousand "ifs"?Alright well, the Moss reaction was a little different than anticipated but the vast majority of us pegged this reaction to the Mankins story from a billion miles away. If Mazz manages to make it through the final 2 hours without bringing up Teixieria you might find my body at the Brigham and Women's morgue, dead from shock.

Maroney strikes again! Always mucking up what could be a good thing.Another good call from Jack from LA.
To bad you got cut off.

You can get a good sample of it as Felger will be on CSN for Sports Tonight in 10 minutes with Curran and Borges.
I think it is because Felger is pretty honest in his assessments about the Patriots and completely impartial. You aren't going to get pom poms and for the most part he isn't a hater (his feelings on Moss excluded) so his opinions are usually pretty valid and often mirror my own.Either we're all dorks, or Felger is really good at his job. (probably a little bit of both)
I am waiting with baited breath about what he has to say about this game, too.
Great move by CSN to move his Sunday show to 7:30. This is a real good preview about what the agenda of tomorrow's "Felger and Mazz" will be.
I don't know what makes me more upset, that the Pats played so horribly, or that Felger, Shaughnessy and Borges now get to jump for joy all week long and lecture us about how right they were about the Pats being a bad team this year.
No he's not. He's lying and the worm will turn tomorrow if not sooner. Before midnight he'll be sucking CHB and Ron the Cheater's nuts.Actually, Felgy predicted a Pats win today. While I agree with you about Shank and Borgy, I think that Felger is balls on regarding the Pats.
He just hosts a radio show...relax.No he's not. He's lying and the worm will turn tomorrow if not sooner. Before midnight he'll be sucking CHB and Ron the Cheater's nuts.
If his main job is to entertain, then he shouldn't present himself as a reporter/analyst. He should present himself as an entertainer. And judging by your number of posts, I'm sure you know the difference. I'm a newcomer here, and, as such, I want to be respectful of those who have been here longer than I have. I mean that. But, anyone who thinks that Michael Felger believes everything he says is a fool. It's OK if he plays the entertainer, but on one of his ad snippets for Comcast, he says something to the effect of, "I've never said anything I don't truly believe." Now, if you think he's an entertainer, do you believe that?<BR>He just hosts a radio show...relax. <BR><BR>His main job is to entertain. I think he does a great job with that.

Yeah, I do believe that Felger is pretty genuine with his thoughts. I'm also pretty sure that he embellishes his thoughts for radio/TV, but everybody does that. Every person you see on TV or hear on radio is likely an "amped up" version of their real-life self. They all play a character to an extent. And I like his character...but I understand that it's different strokes for different folks.If his main job is to entertain, then he shouldn't present himself as a reporter/analyst.

I said the exact same thing during the first half. That it was nice to see Brady go back to his old ways "My favorite receiver is the open one" which is what he did in the first half. When Revis went out he started to force the ball to Moss, I wonder if there would have been a different outcome if Revis stayed in the game.Today's game did go a long way in helping prove out Felger's theory on Moss, however. I can't help but think this team would have been better off without Randy yesterday. If Brady can't decide not to throw to him on his own that is.
I come in here and read this thread every now and then and wonder what I'm missing about Felger. Then I try to listen to him and last for about 5-10 minutes. I just don't get it. He's not very knowledgeable, doesn't seem to care to be and would rather just troll the "talking points". Even when I agree with him, I can't listen to him for long. I'd almost rather listen to Fred Smerlas.Felger predicted a Pats win. He ballwashed the Jets for 4 months, and then when Gary Tanguay called him on it during the Comcast show on Friday, Felger said, "Oh, I sold on the Jets a long time ago. I sold on them after they got rid of Leon Washington. I didn't get that." The man is duplicitous, but you already knew that. For the record, I'm not a dork and I don't find Felger entertaining. I find his act extremely tiresome, and Mazz is ten times worse. Awful show.
If they had just gone up a little more Tex was...I had to turn this off as well, ridiculous. Even if the topic was of interest to listeners Mazz simply says the same things over and over like a recording, that is not good radio
Missing out on Tex wasnt exactly a good thing, but his approach demonstrates his laziness. If he made the argument 'Offensively the Sox were great this year, but now they have to resign or replace Victor, Ortiz and possibly add an OF bat, and next year they have to replace JD as well. But if they signed Tex they would have their 2-4 slots etched in stone with Pedey, Tex, Youk, and then they could more easily build around that.' Thats a decent argument and you could use that to make the case that losing Tex was a huge loss, instead we get 'for only another 10M' and he is starting to remind me of the 'for the price of a cup of coffee you can sponsor...' commercials.Mazz doesn't even change the way he presents it... its awful - Maz, THE SOX HAVE SCORED THE 2ND MOST RUNS IN BASEBALL. Mazz also says they don't have impact talent ready to come up from the minors yet they've scored the 2nd most runs without Youks and Pedroia for half the season, Ellsbury for the whole season, Cameron for the whole season and Victor Martinez for almost 2 months. What did they use smoke and mirrors?
Its incredibly poor analysis that he beats to death, over and over...
Oh, I agree completely with your points. And its debatable a few different ways but Mazz's constant (as you put) "for only 10M more" argument makes it seem like they are just cheap when 1) they spent the most they ever have and are not cheap and 2) the Yankees may have outbid them anyway.Missing out on Tex wasnt exactly a good thing,
I assume the 1 in the 66-1 includes the 04 Monday Nighter at Miami. The playoffs should be included when talking about such a stat. Under Belichick, the Pats are 11-2 when leading at the Half of playoff games. Obviously, very good, but it does show there was more than one game over that span that they had blown the lead.Not a bad show today, pointing out an ESPN article that says that from 2002-2008 the Pats were 66-1 when they had a half time lead, and 9-5 since then. 3-5 I believe in games where they had a 10+ point lead. @_@ Only down side is I think Felger's completely ignoring the fact that the sample size is very small, and 16 of 18 games in it is the first season where he came back from the injury. Felger to his credit thinks Brady can turn it around, while Mr. "They Should Have Signed Texeira" is his usual Pats suck Brady sucks football sucks self.
Not only are they second in runs, but they're second in home runs, which is the only thing that matters if you listen to Mazz.If they had just gone up a little more Tex was...

This. If there's no way they can nab Holly, then they need to rotate hosts for Felger. Mazz is just so obnoxious. Maybe find someone to co-host two of the five days and give Mazz three days. Even moving DA in here and there would be way better than frickin' Mazz 5 days a week.Guys, Felgy was pretty good today especially when he shit on Mazz for the Ichiro shit. Mazz has become very tiresome to me.
