“I don’t get tired of it. I don’t feel like two weeks is too long,’’ said Felger, who will be prominent on CSNNE programming such as “SportsNet Central’’ while also hosting the “Felger and Massarotti’’ show on 98.5 The Sports Hub (simulcast on CSNNE) from Indianapolis beginning Monday.
“And every time I hear a talk show host or someone say that, I feel like saying, ‘Dude, when it’s over, it’s over.’
“We all know what February and March are like. It’s a sports black hole. They can take three weeks, for all I care, if it means we’re still talking football. I like hockey, but I’ll take a football game any day of the week.’’
