You write that Felger is happily married, but he no longer wears a wedding ring. I hope Sara Underwood smartened up and gave him the boot! Must be tough being marrird to the smartest man in the room! At least he thinks he is.

mike felger comes off as an expert on everything. unfortunately he blows all that up as he frequently says on his show many times as " i don't know" . listen closely and you will hear it. both him and mazz are so negative and complain about many boston athletes. i wish i was a fly on the wall when their wives come down for sunday breakfast and says to them "you performance last night was terrible" and it better get good soon. i wonder what they would say when that happens.
