OT: Massarotti's tearful on-air apology today

[Tunescribe]

I dunno. I didn't hear this when it happened but the weepy apology was a bit hard to swallow. He made a crack to Felger about watching out for car-thieving black folks then today says, "That's not who I am." No word yet on whether another shoe will drop, re. suspension.

Tony Massarotti apologizes for ‘insensitive, hurtful’ comments on 98.5 about Black people sitting behind Mike Felger

Sports Hub talk show host Tony Massarotti has apologized for his “insensitive” and “hurtful” comments about Black people sitting behind his 98.5 co-host Mike Felger, warning…

I thought he was going to take heat for a comment last week ...
Referring to Tatum and Brown ... some comment about the natives or something getting restless.
I was like ... really? Bad word/description choice ... he has become an insufferable wind bag ...
I mean he's making Felger look real good/tame ... but Felger bounces off him ... and MazzHole loves it.

The show should put him on nights or whatever ...

I don't believe he is sorry... just more talk radio BS to stir up nontroversies, it is what they do and why I listen less and less...

Had not heard of this. saying stuff like that? Career killer. Just ask "Psycho" Steve Lyons

It was definitely politically incorrect, but there is a lot of truth in what he said. New Orleans is out of control.

Good likeness. Although, that photo of Mazz must be 20 years old.

I hope he's fired

This story tells me more about Felger. What a cheapskate and a moron! He's wealthy but borrows his parent's car like a teenager going out on a date. Then he parks it on the street downtown New Orleans and "forgets" to take the keys and the car gets stolen. Another dumb teenager move. Who doesn't instictively take the keys out of the igniton?

How do these personalities keep making these comments? Do they talk like that off-air and then it slips in on-air?

I get the drift that Felger is somewhat in the "elitist detached from reality" club. His parents were (are) both lawyers, he and his wife have high-profile/high-paying media jobs and they have a second home on Nantucket. It's just dumb luck he hasn't run into @Joker after all these years and lost a few teeth.

If I ever saw Tony Spazz after the 2007 Bowl, I'd still be in Walpole. he's not a man, he's a runty weasel POS

I believe that is pretty close to the truth. Which is why his "That's not who I am" plea rings a bit hollow.

Too bad Mazz didn't confine himself to a generic comment about NO's crime problem.

I wonder what Mazz's excuse is for being such a dunce.

I hope he's fired

I wonder if Felger lifts a finger to try to save him, or if it's every man for himself.

WTF!!!

This thread won’t get political or anything.

 

[cmasspatsfan]

He should apologize for being on the radio every day and the abortion when he called the Red Sox games.

If I had to guess, I'd say that's pretty close to the truth. In the bubble Mazz exists in, no one ever tells him he's wrong, so he talks and thinks like this. As a bonus, he's dumb enough to say it on the air.

Good riddance. Hope this spells the end of his time in Boston. There’s a lot more spring cleaning to do. Have no idea whatsoever how some of these clowns still work in the area with all the ****stirring they’ve done over the years. Long overdue for a spring cleaning to clear out the garbage.
