I cannot tell you why my sports-radio-addled brain chooses to remember this. I suppose it’s because, for a long time, it held the top spot as the funniest thing I’d heard from Michael Felger and Tony Massarotti in the 16 years they have been hosting their afternoon drive program on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
It happened, oh, maybe five years ago. Maybe longer. The topic of discussion was the Patriots’ chances of ever hosting a Super Bowl at Gillette Stadium.
Felger, as he often is — mostly authentically but sometimes performatively — was a skeptic. One reason, in this case, was the obvious lack of lodging for the tens of thousands of visitors a Super Bowl would draw.
