  1. You know what I hate? When a guy says, “You know that’s not how I truly feel.” No, your radio personality is the fake. Your true self came out, and now you’re just trying to save your cushy job. I don’t think people should lose their jobs for stupid jokes, but I also hate frauds.

  2. Tony auditioning for his own show on EEI. He might have the worst vocabulary of any one on Boston radio.

  3. The sports hub is insufferable, and it’s always been. I’m not sure how anybody listens to it. It’s not even entertaining. It’s mostly cringe, especially for people who actually watch and follow Boston sports teams and know what’s going on, unlike the hosts of their shows.

  4. Oh Lord, nothing he said was that bad. It’s funny how all employees have to go to sensitivity training. Lol

  5. I assume this sub is in a state of euphoria for chalking up another victim due to “racism” lmao.

    What a world

  6. I remember years ago Felger got suspended for saying something like “when he’s involved, I root for the wall” or some comment about a NASCAR driver. He had to apologize too. I’m going back to audiobooks and podcasts for my commute.

  7. Ya nah that was a shitty thing to say. Not that anyone should give shit abt my white boy take in this.

    Before I realized it wasn’t on the radio, I was actually ready to go to bat for him just now. Even tho I think he’s a tool.

    Or say at least hey depending on what the guys actually looked like, the jury’s not out (ie. independently of being black, they could have just looked sketchy).

    But if it was just whatever 2 black dudes behind him in the background? Yeeep thats objectively messed up, what a dumbass

  8. I’m from New Orleans, born and raised. We have been getting cars stolen like crazy. On January 17, we were up to like 430 on the year… nothing about this comment is racist.

  9. In his statement on Tuesday, Felger said the Sports Hub’s parent company, Beasley Media, “strives to create a diverse and inclusive workplace,” adding that “those comments went against its core values.”

    How many day time hosts are black? Seriously asking since I ditched Sports Radio all together because it was turning me into a jerk. Last I listened it was zilch. Could I just check yes but then I’d go down a different rabbit hole and might accidentally listen to pac man.

  10. I hated mazz in the booth , he just stood to hate every Sox player for no reason. Guy was dry & distasteful. I’d say good riddance but I’d rather the door hit his ass on the way out.
