Michael Felger on Roy Halladay’s death: ‘He got what he deserved’
Michael Felger, the cohost of the popular midday 98.5 The Sports Hub talk show “Felger and Mazz,’’ is facing a wave of criticism because of his 12-minute rant about retired pitcher Roy Halladay’s death during Wednesday’s show.
Halladay, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, died Tuesday when the tiny sport plane he was flying crashed into the Gulf of Mexico. The plane, an ICON A5, was made for entry-level pilots like him.
Felger showed no sympathy for Halladay a day after his death, calling him a “moron’’ and “idiot’’ for flying the plane.
“He got what he deserved,’’ Felger declared. “That’s how you’re wired? And that’s how you die? Bon voyage.’’
