He’s kinda right what has it done to make the game better it’s only made the games longer. There is more controversial calls now then there have ever been.

[@Hupernike45]

Anyone who doesn.t care if an umpire misses the call isn't standing in the batter's box holding a bat.

Felger be like “ I will never use an iPhone, black berry is the way to type! 😂😂😂” Darn technology, what is next? We will be watching games in HD on TV and not listening in the radio?

[@JimmayVV]

NFL specifically improved with the "eye in the sky" fixing obvious mistakes on the field, so no one has to challenge. Having headsets so the refs can speak to each other on the field without having to literally walk over to each other has helped. The NHL should do something similar with the eye in the sky, especially for missed penalties.

Hey Michael....love your rants.You are spot on. This world does not like the truth! ❤❤❤

All the zombies who text while walking, hate Felger.

Watching Felger’s boomer, troglodyte, ADHD, and contrarian personas all come together on this rambling rant of his was hilarious to watch 😂

More Gaslighting and opportunities to manage and manipulate the games and outcomes. 20 years ago you would see a field goal hit a upright a couple times in a season. Now it's about a dozen times a season. Makes you wonder what else is in the ball. !!!!!

Sounds like progress to me. What’s the problem?

[@short_kingzz]

This whole show is ruining sports media in Boston

[@Predator_Magnus]

[@chrish2112]

Otherwise known as an accurate take.

Waaaa! Get off my lawn!!!

[@LowBrowProgramming]

yeah keep speaking into your shure sm7b real commentators use phonographs

[@ericveneto1593]

Felger, if your POV was how society worked, we’d still have segregation & women wouldn’t be able to vote. I really don’t understand why you’re okey with human error, given it can be fixed.

[@EL_LeonFredo9]

Women shouldn’t vote they use emotions over logic look at the state of the country

[@easyeddie2377]

Apples to oranges. Does technology and replay get every call right? Let's just add more technology into the game to cause play stoppages. You mean to tell me no one is ever going to challenge the spot, still? Now we get to watch the coach and ref argue about it. Watching football is insufferable. But hey! We get to watch more Pepsi and Doritos ads. To impersonate Felgie WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[@tani-wi5mw]

@@easyeddie2377 the technology would be implemented to reduce stoppages, no more measuring stick or arguing about ref ball placement if the chip tells you where the ball was down. it really isnt that difficult a concept to grasp
