I would say about 80 percent of what Felger does is an act. I am not a huge fan, but I find him entertaining and take him with a grain of salt.
You could be correct.
However, what other city has its lead anchor hating on all of its teams, promotes that person as the face of its station?
He is the Nancy Grace of Boston Sports. He is typical of modern media. Instill fear, inspire nothing positive, create anxiety; just provoke you enough to see what happens next.
Meanwhile they will have a person calling around to sell advertising. Felger is a hyperbolic fiend!! Send him to NY or LA or Miami!
Now go out and find me the next Johnny Most and I'll forgive Comcast for the Felgerlicious Flop they call a sports show.
Not only that. Have you heard the way he treats callers on the Sports Hub? His guests? The way he puts down Tanguay, Heinsohn, Maxwell, Dickerson and ALL those who cover and follow the Celtics?
It's ridiculous. If I treated people at work the way he does, I would've been fired a LONG, LONG time ago. But unfortunately that's just the world we live in today.
The as*hol*s get ahead in life and the nice people get the shaft. What gets me even more is that people respond more to miserable people like Felger as opposed to level headed, down to earth people.
