ESPN reporter and longtime Patriots scribe Mike Reiss had a bone to pick with 98.5 The Sports Hub’s radio host Michael Felger on Wednesday afternoon.
The established and well-respected Patriots reporter is not usually one to verbally spar over the airwaves, but Reiss took umbrage with Felger’s comments regarding Reiss’ reporting on New England’s failed pursuit of 49ers star wideout Brandon Aiyuk.
Despite New England ultimately agreeing to the “framework” of a deal with the 49ers regarding Aiyuk, the All-Pro wideout reportedly opted to not sign with New England — even though Reiss was one of many NFL reporters who noted that the Patriots were willing to make Aiyuk one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL.
