But today should be brilliantly entertaining, as Dan Roche fills in with Felger on 98.5 (Mazz is off this week). Other than the fact Roche and Felger are each married with kids, these two could not be any different in their personalities. At least you know the arguments they have will not be contrived.

Classless is right, it’s called catering to your audience.

Too much exposure to Felger will turn most people into a) an assault or homicide suspect or b) an a–hole like Felger. I was rooting for a) but in Tony Mazz’s case, I’m afraid it’s b).

Unfortunately, it’s fashionable to be snarky and arrogant.

PS: Regarding Chris Gaspar’s snarky Truck Day column yesterday:

Is this the future of sports reporting, where not yet thirty sportswriters, weaned on the Internet, and who have had the privilege of covering championship after championship for most of their career, simply spew bile and snark?

Say what you want about Shaugnessy, but his cynicism was well-earned over a forty-year career. What the hell does Gaspar have to be cynical about?

I used to think he was one of the good ones, but yesterday’s column reveals to me that he too is lost.

I’ll never understand why players (unless they truly detest the town they play in) resent being tagged, resent being paid the average of the top three players in the league at their position.

If Matt Cassell never made a dime more than the GUARANTEED $14 million dollar tag he got last year, seems to me he could live pretty well for the rest of his life.

Funny but Breer wasn’t half bad when he was at the Herald. I’m thinking the sports editor at the Globe is trying to groom CHB’s replacement – since he’s such a respected and well-read writer. Globe Sports should be renamed “Stir the pot.” And yeah, the loss of Kilgore doesn’t help.

Reiss migrated to ESPN Boston and so did most serious Patriots fans. Cotton candy is for kids and high school drop-outs but cotton candy is the Globe’s coverage of baseball and football.

Is it a “violation of the spirit” of a contract to not play the last year of it? Give me a break please. Everyday we get in our cars or whatever and we have a choice to go to work or not, same as these guys. We can whine about how insulting the pay is or make the best of it. Why is this even worth arguing about? I guess if your job is to facilitate arguements. Whatever.

All this contrived drama and no actual research by the press, as usual.Yawnnnnn

If you’re the Celts, how do you turn that deal down? Let’s hope the rumors are true. Right now it’s looking like a spring filled with just Red Sox/Orioles games on 38-degree nights at Fenway, with very little in the way of playoff hockey or basketball to follow.
