I only heard a few minutes today but I did get to hear why Biggio shouldn't be in. "Singles hitter who just had a long career". Biggio has 144 more doubles (668 - 5th all-time) and 36 more home runs than his beloved Jeter.Mazz's explanation of only voting for the best all-around players (Griffey, Bonds, Clemens) was pre-emptively contradicted by his vote for Edgar Martinez.
So, for those of you scoring at home - Griffey, Bonds, Arod, Clemens, Pedro, Maddux, Manny - the BEST of the BEST...and Edgar Martinez. But not Bagwell, Piazza or Biggio.
A guess:So, after talking about Rondo's selfishness for 5 hours today.... wonder what tomorrow will bring.
Probably something like this:A guess:
"This is why New Orleans didn't want him for Chris Paul."
"You Green Teamers choose to ignore what the rest of the league sees."
"Mike, you can't win a championship with this guy leading your team."
You know, I heard this too and wondered if Jeter is Biggio with rings. I was too lazy to look it up so thanks!I only heard a few minutes today but I did get to hear why Biggio shouldn't be in.

If Biggio had played in Boston, there'd be thousands of Massholes named Craig and Dustin Pedroia would be a bum who didn't live up to the predecessor.I only heard a few minutes today but I did get to hear why Biggio shouldn't be in.

Probably something like this:
Felger: "Thank God that facacta assist streak is over! Do you think Grande called the league about that one?"
Mazz: "HAHAHA! Oh my gosh, Mike...!"
(Insert 10 Tanguay sound effects)
Felger: "But man, Rondo has to be better than that. He just HAS TO BE. 'Look at me, I'm a big tough guy.' Give me a break. Everybody in that league is a 'fake tough guy.'"
Mazz: "Look, Mike, I didn't see much of the game, but when I heard that had happened..."
Felger: "And part me thinks, 'If Doc hadn't appeased Rondo, this BABY, by putting him back in that blowout to keep this FACACTA assists record, maybe this could have been avoided.' Is anybody standing up to Rondo over there? What happened to ubuntu? I hate the Celtics, but I respect their championship history. This stuff usually happens to the other teams in that league. But now it's happening to the Celtics. Really?! Really?!"
Mazz: "Mike, at this point in time, given the information we have, I'm very concerned about the situation over there..."
Felger: "Somebody said yesterday, 'This is Rondo's team now.' If that's the case, they're in big trouble. That still has to be Garnett's team."
Seeing that Rivers shit all over this team after the game, calling them, among other things, "soft", I think thats what they'll focus on.Probably something like this:

How is Rondo soft for taking on a player a foot taller than him after a cheap foul on a teammate?Seeing that Rivers shit all over this team after the game, calling them, among other things, "soft", I think thats what they'll focus on.
You'll have to ask Rivers.How is Rondo soft for taking on a player a foot taller than him after a cheap foul on a teammate?
I assume the "soft" comments were in regards to not playing hard enough during the game.You'll have to ask Rivers.
They were. And in reference to the brawl, he said wasn't the kind of toughness he was looking for. In fact, his exact quote was "that's not toughness".I assume the "soft" comments were in regards to not playing hard enough during the game.
They talked about it in the final segment on Monday(maybe Tuesday, memory is fuzzy. Was right before the Final Word on either day).I listened to a lot of Monday's show, and didn't catch much of today's show, but I'm wondering if they have talked about Belcher at all.
I wonder if 98.5 has told their talent to stay mum on the topic, since I don't really think it's been discussed on any of the shows. (Compared to D&C on EEI, who dedicated the whole show on Monday to it.)
I think he just hates the Celtics in general. KG is one of the most intense athletes in the history of the game, and last year Felger argued he was playing hard because he was in a contract year.I like this show a lot, but the 5:00 hour was terrible. Feller really dislikes Rondo so much it's almost Borgesian.
As soon as I heard them talking basketball I switched to my Ipod and never went back.I like this show a lot, but the 5:00 hour was terrible. Feller really dislikes Rondo so much it's almost Borgesian.
You'd figure someone admits to being lazy and just wants to surf the web would take this opportunity to shut up and not participate.With Dave Gaucher in studio, Mazz should be hogtied and gagged. Why is he talking?! Did Law & Order do a hockey-lockout themed episode?
Holy shit. I hope you're required to hand in your gun(s) before you go off duty...You guys are fucking crazy. You need to get laid ...... or something. Beat off. Do something. I have outlets for my frustrations. I'm a cop. We're pros at that shit. What the fuck!!! Dudes!! Or ...... dudettes, as the case may be since I don't know any of you guys, or girls. But really? Is this what you do? Listen to the show, a show you hate, and then come running to your computers, or iPhones, or Pads, and bitch about how much they suck, and how much you hate them, and how stupid they are, cuz you're much smarter? Really? I can't stop laughing now. Oh, man......
Yes. For this reason.Holy shit. I hope you're required to hand in your gun(s) before you go off duty...
What was the advice you gave me last week?You guys are fucking crazy. You need to get laid ...... or something. Beat off. Do something. I have outlets for my frustrations. I'm a cop.

When's the last time Sparky had a desk pop?Holy shit. I hope you're required to hand in your gun(s) before you go off duty...

Mazz falling out of his chair and slapping the brick wall adds a bit to the context, doesn't it?Watching these guys on TV for the first time and I have to say its pretty awesome. They genuinely seem like they are having a blast doing the show, especially on Fridays. Ok Ok. Right right ok ok
i was crying I was laughing so hard and after today I needed that.Mazz falling out of his chair and slapping the brick wall adds a bit to the context, doesn't it?
I only heard a bit, but Mazz was hysterical. He thinks that the 49ers let the Pats back in the game (basically NE was lucky) and once SF wanted to play, they did so and that's how they won. The Patriots are in trouble and aren't that good. Felger disagreed with what Mazz said and felt that Pats' biggest problem was that the playoff road is tougher now than it was on Saturday (hard to argue that).Wasn't able to listen today unfortunately. What was their take on the Pats loss?
pretty much the same at 5. Mazz didn't say much but Felger added that he likes that they came back and that his feelings about the team hasn't changed. He didn't think that they were perfect or infallible before this game and that when you face another really good team that team is going to have a chance to win on any given Sunday.I only heard a bit, but Mazz was hysterical.

Basically Mazz took the idiot road and Felger the more measured route. At least that's how it sounded at 4:15.
I started listening at 2-3 then didn't get back on until the Pereira interview at 5. Felger started as you said and stayed that way. Mazz's point, at least in the beginning, was that the Pats are that good, but have the fatal flaw that has caused them to lose the last 2 Super Bowls, lose to the Ravens in the playoffs and lose to the Jets. I'm sure he didn't explain that later or he completely made shit up cause he was playing on the Internet but that's at least how it started, which I agree with him with.I only heard a bit, but Mazz was hysterical.

Beat me to it. It was very funny, mixing in moments from last night and from previous years.One of the more entertaining things they do during football season is rag relentlessly on Ed Hochuli, and today was fucking hysterical in that regard.
Right, which is among the reasons you don't do this, be careful what you wish for. And it was a particularly odd choice because the Pats historically have struggled in Denver, BB or no BB, Brady or no Brady. Even when they have won out there, the wins tend to be uncomfortably close and ugly.Felger is floating the suggestion that the Pats should tank the final two games (definitely the Dolphins game) to guarantee a four seed and a better path to the Super Bowl. The plan is to play the 5 seed (likely Indy) in the first round then head to Houston in round two to avoid Denver until the AFCCG.
He noted that they did this in 2005 when they tanked the final game (also Miami - the Flutie drop kick game) and drew Jax rather than Pitt when Cassel badly overthrew a receiver on a 2 pt conversion after a chat with Brady on the sidelines. Unfortunately, that trip to Denver didn't turn out so well.
I think it was done to get a better first round matchup, which clearly happened given that they dominated Jacksonville and Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl. Because of reseeding you can't predict who you're going to play in the 2nd round unless you're the #3 or #6 seed. For example, this year I think even if they manage to drop to the #4 seed, they're probably still going to Denver because I don't trust Baltimore to make it out of the first round.Right, which is among the reasons you don't do this, be careful what you wish for.
