Felger on ESPN Right Now - New England Patriots Forums

"I don't represent the Herald".

Hanging his hat on the verbal stuff between Walsh and Daboll.

Really fighting with Trey Wingo!

And now calling the New England Fans "fanboys",

He sounds like such a smitten b!tch.

Really touchy...I love it...felger is quite funny...

He said he didnt want to represent the Herald and he wouldnt ask Wingo to represent everything that espn has said or done.

Felger actually helped the Patriots look good. He did call us fanboys but also said the Pats do everything better than everyone else.

I find that felger is anti patriot but he does it to try to seem more objective than others. He has created the anti patriot image off of this and sometimes he will say things just for ratings and not for his objectivity. But I think he tends to be objective and thoughtful with bigger stories.

Actually what he was saying is that the Patriots 'cheat better' than everyone else. So I don't think that actually helps make the Pats look better. :P Felger, but especially the Herald have taken an image hit in my eyes. However wrote the 'pats taped the rams walkthrough' story should be run out of town on a rail. I believe that was Tomase?

It had to go through layers of Editors to make its way into print.

Tomase might have $700 to his name.

The Herald has more, plus property.

Felger does the same thing that a great deal of posters on this site do, he calls out anyone who disagrees with his hypercritical (dare I say, negative nancy) stances as "fanboys" or "homers."

Being ridiculously slanted in the other direction doesn't make one objective.

As I said in the other thread, I dislike Felger as much as anyone, but I appreciate him denying ESPN their agenda of attacking the Herald. Felger didn't write the article before the Super Bowl, nor is he an editor. He has no obligation to address where his employer fecked up. Go to Tomase or the editors if you want a statement from the Herald, anything else is irresponsible, conniving and bereft of journalistic integrity.

This shouldn't surprise anyone because it is, of course, ESPN, but let this fact marinate: after having been duped by Tomase's story and making all sorts of premature insinuations, implications, and inferences regarding the existence of a walkthrough tape and its possession, ESPN is just now looking to investigate its origin and search for accountability. Instead of admitting their own mistakes, they are looking to attack another. ESPN could learn a whole hell of a lot by researching 17th century Salem, MA.
