I did catch Sports Tonight on CSNNE, and Felger was just fucking disgusting. What the hell happened to him? He was always a shit-stirrer, but this was birther-level stupid. Mocking everyone who thought Pedro was clean, but refusing to answer repeated point blank questioning from Holley if he thought Pedro was dirty. Frankly, I thought Holly made him look stupid by point blank pinning him down on the issue.
Even Shaughnessy was put off by Felger's attitude. Shaughnessy!
I saw that this morning and Felger is an ass. His line of "reasoning" was that if Pedro wasn't on steroids, then why did he bring it up at his conference?
Two reasons:
1. The HoF elections were almost as much about the people who weren't elected (Bonds, Clemens, etc) because of steroids than about who was elected. It's the gigantic pink elephant in the room that needed to be addressed. And BTW, if Pedro didn't say anything about it, Felger would have said, "Why didn't he talk about steroids, what does he have to hide?"
2. A program on the radio home of the Boston Red Sox tweeted out a story from 2002 that implied Pedro was on steroids. So yeah, people were talking about it.
You know, Boston has had a lot of really cool things happen to the city, sports wise, since 2001. But the media wants the fans to be miserable all the time. I think that yesterday was the tipping point for me, fuck them all.
