I moved from Boston to NYC in 2003 and cannot understand what has happened to Felger.
Back in 2000-01, the Boston Globe guys were always against the Pats - especially after BB prohibited the players/coaches from speaking to the media and more so after BB declared on Channel 4 that Brady will be the QB for the rest of the season (and thereby shocking everyone since 99% of us assumed that Bledose will be returning soon).
At that time, Felger was the only guy rooting for the Pats. I distinctly remember a post-game show at Foxboro when he went after Nick Cafuro (pardon my spelling) of the Globe when Nick claimed that the Pats barely won and that it was clear that Brady cannot throw deep.
It was a live interview and Felger asked something like "What is wrong with you Globe guys? Why do you dislike and put down this team so much in every single article? The Pats won for goodness sake on a solid game and here you are finding imaginery faults on Brady even though the offensive play calling called for only the running game and short passes." Both Nick and the interviewer were stunned and totally shocked.
I applauded cheerfully for Felger because he was absolutely right. I got tired of the Globe dampening the happy spirits of the fans and was elated to find Felger demanding on live TV to expalin their negative attitude (to which Nick mumbled something).
From then to now...can't understand why he changed...
