  1. Did Felger really say "the Patriots choking on offense set the stage for the Colts to choke?"

    He tries to make stupidity sound like a virtue.

    1. I try to avoid Felger at all costs but the other day after the Pats/Colts game I did stop for a second on comcast (or whatever the hell channell he's on)…..He was acting like an ass again. The one good thing about it was he was talking to Troy Brown…..I love how Troy puts him in his place. I guess Felger was saying Manning just, "threw the ball up for grabs"on the Sanders interception……WITH DISGUST Troy says," NO FELGER, if you were watching the game you should have seen how the pressure by Cunningham affected the throw. He didn't just throw it up for grabs"……nice to hear somebody stand up to that little weasel
