It's probably not that so much as he and Felger banking on Manning's coronation for a few days of material, e.g.,
1. Brady's lost his edge (insert > needs to be "goosed" by Tebow)
2. Colts were *really* the team of the decade ("that will get the audience riled up")
and so on.
Yeah, I think a guy like Mazz can't stand to be wrong. He was probably rooting for Manning in order to come on the radio the next day and proclaim how right he was and how "Rome is really burning."
But Felger has no problem admitting he's wrong and said that he stood up and applauded when Peyton threw that pick.
I think as "off" as he may be on some things (Tebow), Felger is the most genuine guy in the sports talk radio market here. He really seems to enjoy his job, enjoy expressing his opinion, and enjoy rooting for things/teams. I'm no homer, and as cynical as the next guy, but you can be a contrarian and genuine. I feel like that's what Felger is.
Whereas for Mazz, I get the feeling that if given the choice, he would sit in a press box next to Shaughnessy and do bad Boston accent impersonations rather than sit with the barbarians known as "fans."
