He said a while ago when someone apparently asked if he'd been canned, that he was on a sabatical of sorts but would be writing some for the Herald in season.
His ESPN radio gig has unfortunately become pretty juvenile drivel driven. They spend inordinate amounts of time talking amongst or worse about themselves, I guess 'cause they don't get many callers. He has the occasional decent guest, but his support crew are like 20 year old flash boy radio wannabes. Today he was mostly venting about how gutless the media is for not asking Barry Bonds the tough questions. His co-host, Bob Halloran, kept trying to make the point that asking questions that you know will end an interview doesn't really gain your audience anything. Felger envisions himself as some sort of one man sports fraud busters squad these days. Although he had no trouble with Vick killing dogs as long as they were pit bulls. Kept referring to that as a public service.
One interesting tidbit from today's blather was he did admit that he is something of a persona non grata in Foxboro these days, and guys he used to socialize with now don't even make eye contact with him anymore.... Said that is a price he's willing to pay to be a (self proclaimed) bastion of objectivity
and said those who won't ask the questions these guys don't want to answer are more interested in having relationships with jocks than digging for whatever it is he thinks he digs for.
If he were the least bit athletic I'd question whether or not Felger ever did steroids because his head is actually bigger than Bonds' these days and compared to his early days in the business, his radio persona as it has evolved just screams I'm on freakin' something...or I should be.
Where is Felger?
