The paragraph was already there, but you are welcome for the "moron" in the first sentence.

Oh, it was you? Fantastic. Can you explain to me why people think it's funny to update Wikipedia pages about famous people with paragraphs ripping them, knowing that A) fundamentally, Wikipedia is a pretty awesome thing, B) the edits will get reversed quickly, and C) the funny rate of those entries run lower than Aviles' walk rate? Thanks in advance.The paragraph was already there, but you are welcome for the "moron" in the first sentence.

What would you have proposed? More Beckett talk? A preseason Pats game that featured hardly any important players and was thoroughly picked over already? The NHL CBA negotiations?Felger seems to love that survey. Talked about it yesterday, and was talking about it today during the period that I was listening.
Is there nothing else going on?
Exactly. I thought his idea for having people call in and give one idea for how to improve one of the Boston teams was a great way to get through a show when not much else is going on. Lots of callers, every local team covered.The survey is a talk-radio goldmine in the doldrums of August when the Sox sucking and the Pats practicing are the two "lead" stories.
Nope there really isn't. And I tuned in today (first time all summer) because I knew they would talk about it and its a pretty interesting topic that could lead to many other discussions. Pretty good radio today.Felger seems to love that survey. Talked about it yesterday, and was talking about it today during the period that I was listening.

He's off tomorrow night, can't remember who csn said was filling in.I think you'll hear felger praising the sox on Monday more than he probably ever has
Edit: you can tune into his show tomorrow night on csnne for a preview, I'm sure
I think it's Dickerson tomorrow nightHe's off tomorrow night, can't remember who csn said was filling in.
Fantastic. What are the odds that Mazz makes some ridiculous statement along the lines of "Mike, I agreed that the roster needed an overhaul and don't necessarily disagree with trading those guys, but to do it all at once?!?! It's a white flag like never before"Of course, what will make that take so ridiculous is Mazz has been in lockstep with Felger calling for the "giant roster enema" for the past 12 months as well. Felger will call him on it, and we'll have a squirming Mazz for four hours.
Yeah, but that's because it was a write-in and every vote for "My ass" was given to Mazz.Mazz is the 4th most popular according to that survey
No, the only congratulations they give is to themselves. The only ballwashing Felger does is self inflicted and Mazzeroti is only there to make sure he didn't miss a spot.I think they're going to be ballwashing the Sox for 4 straight hours.
Yep. "Blah blah I've been saying this since last year and I was right"No, the only congratulations they give is to themselves. The only ballwashing Felger does is self inflicted and Mazeroti is only there to make sure he didn't miss a spot.
But...he was right.Yep. "Blah blah I've been saying this since last year and I was right"
"You were right, Mike"
"Why am I the only one is the town to tell the truth, the BBWA blaahhh"
I'd rather have a root canal than listen to Felger give himself fellatio for 4 hours.
Felger drives me nuts with all these claims. I am sure that a lot of them are right, but if he is going to rip apart all the writers and players he should go do something about it himself and try to prove his points, instead of hiding behind the radio and just ripping apart people.Felger should just go to the ballpark. Go there for a weekend game, ask all of his questions, and then leave.
Then I will never again have to hear Felger in a shouting match with a baseball writer about how doesn't go and cover the team.
(It would be a nice publicity stunt, too. If you're going to be an entertainer, which Felger overtly claims he is, then go all of the way with it.)
Ron Borges of all people called him on this the other day.Felger drives me nuts with all these claims. I am sure that a lot of them are right, but if he is going to rip apart all the writers and players he should go do something about it himself and try to prove his points, instead of hiding behind the radio and just ripping apart people.
I couldn't agree more. But then why doesn't Felger just go there, and ask some questions just so he can say he did it?He has no need to go down to Fenway and do what the local writers aren't. They aren't doing their job, he is calling them out on it. He is doing his job if you like it or not. The National guys are embarrassing the local guys who are suckling at the teat. His interviews with Gammons, and Bradford and Speier on Sports Tonight, are completely pathetic for the writers.
That was classic. Felger said he was working and couldn't get in the clubhouse because the reporters clubhouse time conflicted with his radio show. So Borges said, "Hey Felger, go on a Saturday!!!"Ron Borges of all people called him on this the other day.
What is Felger's job exactly, other than spewing half-truths and spin in support of his narratives where, conveniently, everyone is either a "Bad guy" or a "Good guy." You know who else feels the need to categorize everyone under those two specific terms? My 4 year old niece watching cartoons. My sense is she'll actually grow out of it, though.He has no need to go down to Fenway and do what the local writers aren't. They aren't doing their job, he is calling them out on it. He is doing his job if you like it or not. The National guys are embarrassing the local guys who are suckling at the teat. His interviews with Gammons, and Bradford and Speier on Sports Tonight, are completely pathetic for the writers.
So.... you are saying Felger has been wrong all this time and Beckett is just as good a pitcher and clubhouse guy now as he was in 2007?Here's what I want to see more than Mike Felger asking inane questions to Red Sox players in the clubhouse: Let's have someone go down to his radio station and give him the Pepsi Challenge with photos of Josh Beckett from 2007 and 2012. And if doesn't get more than 3 out of 10 correct, he's never allowed to say Beckett's name on the air again.
Lacks the nuts to do it. Borges, of all people, had him messing his pants.I couldn't agree more. But then why doesn't Felger just go there, and ask some questions just so he can say he did it?
Then the vaunted BBWAA won't have anything left to say. We're running around in a cul-de-sac until Felgie does that.

You know what, you're right? The majority of Super Bowl winning quarterbacks are HOF or near-HOFers. I thought that a lot more mediocre QBs were Super Bowl winners.Felger on his soapbox today about how the NFL has become to "fantasy" driven and the sport is suffering. The evidence is the rule changes made a lot of QBs elite-esque. And how you need a Hall of Fame QB to win the SB b/c Brady, Manning, Manning, Big Ben, Brees, Rogers, are all H of F QBs and won the last nine SBs... Fucktard, you have ALWAYS needed a H of F QB to win. SInce I have been watching, the only (off the top of me head) ones to win were like, Doug Williams, Mark Rypien, Hostetler, Jim McMahon, Dilfer and Brad Johnson.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but some quarterbacks are Hall of Famers because they were Super Bowl winners, not Super Bowl winners because they were Hall Famers (e.g. Joe Namath's otherwise mediocre career).You know what, you're right? The majority of Super Bowl winning quarterbacks are HOF or near-HOFers. I thought that a lot more mediocre QBs were Super Bowl winners.
