Re: Felger's Negativity
I think Felger has always tried to be edgy and take contrarian points. I've never felt he was a great writer, as he tends to be opinionated and reactionary rather than informative. That is my biggest peeve with him, is that sometimes he presents unsubstantiated information as more factual than it actually is. I think he has gotten worse in that regard now that he has his own radio show.
I think people are taking him too serious, though. First of all, it is obvious he is over-the-top at time to try and create reactions and get people interested in his show. Too his credit, I don't think he takes himself too seriously, and is willing to laugh at himself and admit he is wrong. That is the difference between him and Ordway, who will never admit he is wrong.
Felger is probably better suited to a sports radio format, he isn't a great journalist. He does work hard, though. People should lighten up on him a little and not take it so seriously.
