Well, if you thought you hated Felger before, today is armageddon: He's destroying the beloved Amalie.
Missed it, for what?Well, if you thought you hated Felger before, today is armageddon: He's destroying the beloved Amalie.
That was priceless.That and 'run the friggin' ball!'
They've gone the serious route for the most part, which I think is the right move, albeit a little disappointing.They going to be on at 2? Doomsday Felger may be great today.
Barely anyone outside of Detroit and San Francisco watched the World Series. Mazz can't even be bothered to watch most Sox games.They've gone the serious route for the most part, which I think is the right move, albeit a little disappointing.
On another note, both Felger and Mazz just admitted to "barely watching the World Series." I know Boston sports fan largely don't care about national stories, but it would be nice if they weren't always so parochial. It would do a lot to diversify the show, instead of revisiting the same topics for the entire week.
did they explain why they'll be terrible on defense when all signs point to them being better on defense than last year?So today we hear that the Celtics this season are going to be terrible on defense, and Mazz explain how having a good bench will be of no benefit in the playoffs. They also told us that Jeff Green was signed to his extension in order to allow Danny to save face from the Perkins trade, and that his preseason is completely irrelevant; he's still a terrible player.
Earlier today I heard Gresh compare Rondo to Cam Newton (??!!). Seriously, protesters?
Spot on.Felger: "So, what happened to the Celtics last night, Tanguay? It felt like a funeral last night at Comcast with the green teamers. What's wrong, Garbear?"
*Tanguay sound effect*
Felger: "Oh, so here's KG.."
*Insert KG ROOAAAR sound effect*
Felger: "ROOAAARRR! Don't get in my way, I'm a big tough guy. I'm not going to shake Ray's hand. I'm too intense. What's wrong? Did he miss his ROOAAARR on the jumbotron? He didn't have Gino? Was that it, Garbear?"
Mazz: "Oh my gosh, Mike, it was..."
Felger: "Garnett is a FRAUD. What a FRAUD. Mr. Tough guy, throwing fake elbows at Mario Chalmers, snubbing Ray Allen, and oh...only scoring 9 points! 9 points! Chris Bosh beat him all night. What...a...FRAUD, Mazz."
Mazz: "I mean, Mike, I didn't catch most of the game, but from what I saw..."
Felger: "It's unbelievable. All of the green teamers tell me about KG's intensity. KG won't take crap from anybody! And what happens? He has more fouls than points in the 3rd quarter! What a fake tough guy, like everybody else in that league."
It's going to be a long winter on this show without any hockey. Not that Felger doesn't have some points in regards to Garnett's performance last night, but the basketball talk will have to delve a little deeper this season than "KG is a phony/green teamers are homers/referees are crooked."
As in "that's what was actually said" or "that's was some good F&M fanfic, dude"?Spot on.
Some people look at porn in their spare time, I write F&M fanfic. Tomato tomahto...right?As in "that's what was actually said" or "that's was some good F&M fanfic, dude"?
it was pretty closeAs in "that's what was actually said" or "that's was some good F&M fanfic, dude"?
Their best segments continue to feature a guest - Perillo, Gasper - in studio. It obviously doesn't work with Wiggy, but I'm perplexed as to why Flynn isn't on with them for a set hour or two each week.I've said this many many times but this show would be much improved if they weren't so damn provincial. Talk about television ratings. Talk about other teams negativity. Talk about your personal lives. They do this sometimes, but not nearly enough...........its always back to the same old angle eventually.
I've probably been one of Felger's biggest defenders and one of Mazz' biggest detractors on the site but I get the feeling that Mazz is just so tired of Felger's bullshit and has stopped trying. When he does offer an opinion he is frequently mocked by both Felger and Bertrand along with the listeners so at this point it is probably easier for him to play the John Dennis role and go along with whatever Felger's agenda is and poke fun at him every so often (like yesterday basically calling Felger a bad parent).But the need for another voice to balance Felger would be moot if Mazz wasn't mailing it in like Derek Bell.
Cool Post Bro, you caught a typo in a column.From Mazz's latest column on Boston.com: http://www.boston.com/sports/columnists/massarotti/2012/11/a_few_things_things_to_believe.html
I believe Barrack Obama will win the Presidential election on Tuesday.
Cool Response, Bro.Cool Post Bro, you caught a typo in a column.
What would be great is if sports talk radio hosts were on 1-year contracts. I mean, they clearly aren't motivated to keep talk interesting and non-repetitive. Must be because they've got cushy multi-year deals.Bashing the Ortiz deal because it's for 2 years. They are beating the drum that Ortiz will have no motivation to put up big numbers anymore because he's not on a 1-year contract. These guys are so full of shit.
I was only half listening to Gresh and Zo (I think they were talking about it on their show... maybe it was F & M)today but apparently at Friday's Celtics game, Wiggy got into a bit of an argument with Larry David.
Did anyone hear the whole story?
Yes, THE Larry David
There was an important catch in the Super Bowl, but pretty much this game is why he is on the radio.Why is this guy on the radio?
Well, with the sanctions on the school and the Buckeyes not being eligible for a bowl, they're not getting a ton of attention on the national level anyway. When they talk about the undefeated teams and how the BCS might play out, all the talk is about Alabama, Oregon, K-State, and Notre Dame. Ohio State and Louisville, both undefeated, never get a mention.Ron from Vegas called in and said the Pats should think about taking Braxton Miller in the future as a replacement for Brady. One of the reasons was he's a leader of a team that is 10-0. Felger, Mazz, and Beetle said they never heard of Miller and didn't know Ohio State was undefeated. Mazz brilliantly chimes in, "Yup. It's true, Ohio State is undefeated! I just looked it up. Yup, it's true", like he should get a gold star for confirming the caller's "outlandish unknown piece of trivia".
Okay, maybe I'm piling on...but Jesus, three guys who get paid to follow sports never heard of Braxton Miller and didn't know Ohio State was undefeated? None of them? I realize Boston isn't a great area for following college sports but that is pretty piss poor, isn't it? At least one of them should have heard of the guy, right? I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I'm going back to EEI. At least until hockey season comes back.
