After a mountain of criticism about the death of former Major League Baseball pitching great Roy Halladay, WBZ-FM Boston host Mike Felger (pictured left) has quickly apologized. One of the things that got Felger in hot water was saying that Halladay got what he deserved. Halladay was killed in a plane crash off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico earlier this week. He left behind a wife and two kids. Here’s a few excerpts from the Felger apology.
“I feel bad about what happened on a lot of levels. I feel bad about what I said and how I conducted myself. I meant part of what I said yesterday and there were other parts that were dumb hyperbole. The presentation and the tone and the hyperbole was just low-class bad, not good, I don’t feel good about it. I regret what happened yesterday. I regret my conduct. I believe what I believe, the tone and the hysterics were really uncalled for. To say it was inappropriate and over the line is just stating the obvious. They are clearly those things. I have no defense. I have no explanation. I’m not asking for sympathy or any break or anything. What I’ve gotten is what I deserve.”
There was no mention of a suspension or any other type of discipline. PD Mike Thomas did not respond to our e-mail asking if there was any disciplinary action taken.
