You are aware that Jay never attended a sporting event in Chicago and just hid in his* home and copied and pasted quotes from the various AP reports. The last time he* went to an event was around 4 to 5years ago.

I only caught bits and pieces but on Thursday Dale was softly criticizing Brady for being in inHollywood and not town with the team this week(and Felger was more than happy to join in). But it turns out, Dale misread the caption for a globe that showed Brady with Giselle and son at Gillette stadium, not in Hollywood. He did a sort-of mea culpa later but now that “Brady is a bad teammate/not focused on football” is out there.

Their show wasn’t some act unless Dale said to Felger “Ok, you act real smart and I will act dumb, just talking out of my ass. It will be great radio.”

Felger makes Dale look ridiculous. It is not an act.

[...] is to Boston, but even more obnoxious, "contrarian", self-righteous and hated, might be on his way here. Our friends at Chicagoist won’t miss him a bit, and Roger Ebert gave him a nice kick on his [...]

Mariotti isn’t any worse than Massarotti, meaning their both angry middle aged men. Posting about these cretins gives them undue validation.

[...] Another rumor relocates him to Boston at either Boston.com, WEEI.com or the Boston Herald as a replacement for Massarotti. Could one media market, let alone one sports section, really handle both Mariotti and Shaughnessy? [...]

….”infighting”??…I’m not so sure about that. I think it’s all an ACT if you ask me. I can just see Felger and Arnold BEFORE they go on the air. “OK, I’ll take this position, you take the oposite position, let’s really “go at it” today like we really hate each other”…..same thing with the supposed “fued” between D&C and the BIG SHOW….remember this is the same station that fed us the, “MIKE ADAMS TAKES OVER THE RADIO STATION! bull sheet…..

Infighting among sports media personalities is increasing, partly because the supply of them exceeds demand. Also, there’s resentment from ‘incumbents’ like as Dale when ‘refugees’ like Felger tread on their turf. Many of these media hacks are looking for soft landing spots as they see their beloved womb-to-the-tomb jobs evaporate.

‘Hard-working?’ This is the guy who was legendary for avoiding team locker rooms while writing columns filled with quotes from players. Out of respect for all the ‘hard-working journalists’ everywhere, it’s not quite an accurate description of Jay.
