    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    1. Tatum shouldn’t have shot after the whistle. That’s just asking for trouble, especially against a team like Miami. However… 2. Adebayo is 100% in the wrong there and it was a borderline dirty play. Asshole move on his part, but completely in character for the team. SVG was right about the...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    It was even more tortured than that... Felger preferred Atlanta because they invested in the position, vs the Pats going from Newton to Mac to Maye... "pick a bad QB, fail, repeat every three years... that's what bad teams do, and you're a bad team." Totally ignoring that Atlanta stuck with a...

    Barmore stays a Patriot: 4 years/up to $92 million extension

    Drew Bledsoe and his 10\$103M from 2001 says hello…

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    The day after the Pats selected Maye: Felger: “I’d rather be Atlanta [taking Penix at R1-8 after signing Cousins] than you…” Mazz: “The pick sucked because it was a safe pick. I’d rather they took a gamble and showed some balls [by trading down for a lesser QB and collecting more picks]…”...

    Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show

    From 3 1/2 years ago. Fred’s “knowledge“ of Milton goes back to Milton’s Michigan days. He was a freshman in 2018(!) and became the starter in the disastrous 2020 Covid season (2-4, canceled rest of the season including game vs. OSU). Milton was a RS sophomore starter, didn’t play well, and...

    R3/68 Caedan Wallace OT PSU

    Hoping his brother passes along some pearls of wisdom to Caedan. Looking forward to seeing him shuck some defensive linemen.

    Day 3 BPA, Franklin,Walker, (t)CJones,(S)Hicks, (te) Sanders and stover. Who ya got

    Edge, Cornerback, Tight End, Free Safety P.S. I thought about Rattler as well, but my biggest fear is a Brissett injury in the first month of the season. I don’t want to force Maye onto the field, so regrettably I think they need to keep Zappe.

    Those Who Stay Will be Champions: Michigan Football 2024

    Nice thread starter. Thanks for that! Some additional thoughts to complement your comprehensive overview: I agree they don’t have a championship-quality QB on the roster at the moment, but I also think it’s very late to think they can get a QB upgrade in the portal; it is scarcely 3 months...

    We're onto Beetle and Zolak: The Midday Thread

    I like McKone as well. He's a pretty relaxed fit in between two opinionated hosts who occasionally get too wound up. I bet that RJ is fine in a sub role... there always seems to be someone "out" in the morning pretty regularly, so he'll get his 100+ shows in there pretty easily I imagine...

    Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show

    It’s usually either a) Fred doesn’t let Hardy co-host, or b) Hardy isn’t comfortable asserting himself on any given day. They haven’t yet come up with a consistent formula for co-hosting. Fred-dominated shows suck. There have been days where it’s obvious Hardy has thrown in the towel and just...

    The Pantheon of Boston announcers: Who you got?

    I’m not a Joe Castig guy, but he belongs on the list. Bob Wilson is (imo) consistently criminally underrated. Ahead of Gino here for sure and maybe even Eck. Whither Gil Santos?! Fun discussion.

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    Ernie, Scar, Josh, Ivan Fears, even the Brians (Flores and Daboll). Those were some great coaches and staff members who had pelts on the wall. You can argue that none of them were adequately replaced. That’s a shit ton of great teaching and coaching. Coach Bill’s staff the past couple of years...

    Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show

    Doesn't look like it. Not on now, at least.
