Sperham has just registered with Patsfans.com and, since he can't start threads on the main board yet, I thought I'd copy his post over.

My answer:

Fauria? Great! (Mrs Fauria, even better. )

Felger? Well I won't say anything but just use the search function on this board.

To Sperham via MtB:

"Is your fandome so serious that you will dedicate a half hour on the practice (not a gam), practice?" Could we have that in English?

Oh, and Felger is a tool.

7:30 PM I assume? On what channel?

Yes, would absolutely devote a half-hour to any kind of Patriots talk.

Felger? Does it have to be Felger? What, Borges wasn't available.

Seriously, can't you find someone who doesn't smirk everytime he opens his mouth? Not everything has to have an angle or be controversial to be interesting. Nor does it have to cover the superstars. It doesn't all have to be about Brady or Moss or what do they do without Asante. It's ok to talk about the RBs or the TEs or, omigod, the linemen.

Thanks for asking our opinions. You're sure to get more.

As an avid Football fan and rabid Patriots fan, yes I would watch this show.

As far as Felger goes - he's become the Meterperel of local TV Sports. To quick to be a contrarian just for controversy, story and my guess, ego. Fauria (I'm a woman) is eye candy for sure, and since he was a member of the team - can provide some insight we may not get otherwise. However, a speech and public communication class couldn't hurt him?

Too bad it couldn't be Reiss or Curran. People that don't go overboard in inflecting their opinion onto a piece.

I would definitely watch a 30 minute segment covering the training camp practices. Especially with 2 a days, there should be enough info to fill the time. I'm on here 20 times a day looking for new info and reports...30 minutes is nothing

As for the talent, Felger has hated on this board for his negative, contrarian view about anything regarding the pats in recent years. However, he filled in well I thought last week on WEEI, so maybe that was just a role. Fauria should be able to give some insights, like what the coaches are looking for or hoping to accomplish with a certain drill.

You should find a way to get Mike Reiss into a segment. You will find on this board that people overwhelmingly think of him as the best pats beat reporter.

PatsWickedPissah - show is on Comcast SportsNet - channel 52 on most comcast systems. The HD feed is 852.

As for Felger - he would tell you that he is not playing the roll of the contrarian. He says what he believes and as an outsider he feels that he is more objective than the born and bred in Boston reporter/personality.

A lot of people here might feel they got their fill of 'objective outsiders' last year. When you've circled the wagons, you tend to lose your trust in those outside.

Really....frankly, I find that a pile of manure..FUNNY that when he was on ESPN starting out, his show was actually quite good and listenable. Although ALL of a sudden when ratings were not good, his contrarian views were formed and became large. Objective?? please...he's a pompous ***hole at best; frankly I really find his credibility quite low. Might I watch?? Probably..because I like football talk..but really Curran or Reiss bring a whole lot more to the table.

Mike the Brit

Reiss, Curran and Albert Breer have been the best reporters on the Patriots recently by a mile, in my opinion. They are far from being "fans with keyboards" (unlike us!)
