Boston sports talk radio host Michael Felger isn’t a big believer in the notion of respecting the dead.
Felger spent part of Wednesday’s show mocking Roy Hallway, blaming him for his death and calling him names.
Halladay died in a plane crash Tuesday in the Gulf of Mexico, near his home in Florida. He was 40.
Felger decided it was important to blame someone for Halladay’s death, so he blamed Halladay, over and over again, in fact — calling him a “moron” and saying Halladay “got what he deserved.”
Deadspin and Awful Announcing each collected some of Felger’s worst moments, and here they are:
“As a 40-year-old grown-ass man, you’re still doing that, to the point where you’ve got to get in planes and race cars and all that crap? I’m sorry, dude, you’re on your own. I’ve got no sympathy for you.”
“That guy’s like the bad guy to me. You’ve got a family! And you’re going to screw around in a little toy plane?” “If that’s how you’re wired, and that’s how you die? Bon voyage.”
“I don’t blame the plane for the fact that the guy wanted to dive-bomb through mountains. Idiot!”
“‘Wheee! Oh look, I just landed on the water, everybody! I’m going to tweet it!’ Splat. You’re dead. With two kids. Moron.”
In case you’re wondering if Felger holds other athletes to the same standard, the answer is yes:
“Was it Dale Earnhardt who died? The race car driver who died? I root for the wall. I really do. That ain’t no tragedy … I’m supposed to feel bad for you? Give me a break.
A full NTSB investigation into Halladay’s fatal accident has begun and a preliminary report is expected in 7-10 days, an investigator said Wednesday.

The report says he had been flying that way all week.
I wonder if he said that about JFK Jr.?
Premature reporting is the least of what I would say about this sports radio personality. Looks like he has a habit of mouthing off in a disparaging manner about the recently ill-fortuned. Yes, it may be pilot error BUT that is not this guy’s call from minimal evidence. I hope his collar gets tightened by the radio station.
And I sure hope you get what you deserve. You are evil.
