Tony Massarotti Fields Fan Mail In Wake Of DeflateGate Decision

BOSTON (CBS) -- And so, now if not forever, Tom Brady will play, Roger Goodell will pray, and, well, it's Festiva for the rest of ya.

From the Twitter feed (unedited, of course):

From RP: I have never wanted someone to get fired more then you. Everything you say is negative against others. Eat it pal.

Not true, of course, but I will accept the vitriol. In the interim, I will try to embrace the positivity these many comments, like yours, possess.

From Anthony, via Twitter: hey fraud boy, when will the public apology come? Don't EVER show your face at Gillette.

Ever? You mean, like, for concerts, too? What about Revs games? Can I shop at Patriot Place?

From Jonhenry: Hope someone lets the air out of @TonyMassarotti tires.

Really not necessary. Winter is rapidly approaching. Ever hear of the Ideal Gas Law?

From CBowls: Did you both apologize today for being "Asshats" --Mazz's favorite word.

I can't speak for my partner, but do I have to apologize for something I was born with?

From Christoper (2 tweets): your shows got to go...felger back to GB and mazz should stick with baseball.

And by stick with baseball I meant writing about it not talking about it on the radio.

So wait: If I stop talking about anything, Felger goes back to Green Bay? Is that what you're offering? We may have the makings of a deal here, my friend.

From Brian: let it go Mazz let it go. You lost, we won. Take your ball and go home you squid. Love that you think you are a lawyer.

Wait, you mean that degree I got from the back of that cereal box isn't real?

From Michael: today Goodell's and Felger and Mazz's statue have been tirn down and we can now hit them with our shoes.

Believe me, if someone ever even thought about erecting a statue of us, nobody would be happier than the pigeons.

From Matt: The heights of your imbecility cannot be overstated. You have no understanding of the legal process yet you still opine.

For the record, I clearly issued the disclaimer that I was not a lawyer. And we're talking imbecility, I believe you should be referencing depths, not heights.

From Paul: you little weasel! Get off the damn radio in Boston and go work in Baltimore! Take the (insult) with you!

Hint for those of you who are football fans: The edited insult has the same abbreviation as "defensive back." And how does this guy know I like Baltimore?

From Jim: I just did a survey in my living room and I think you suck. When I asked my dog he licked where his…

Hey now. No need to get too graphic. I get the message.

From Joe: A broken clock is correct two times a day.

Oh, to be a broken clock right now.

From David: how many phone calls are going to start with "I told you so"?

Suddenly, the NFL opener can't get here fast enough. Can they move the game up to Monday?

From Brian: drop dead twice

Now that would be a neat trick. But I think it qualifies as double jeopardy.

From Mike: Someone please knock @TonyMassarotti upside the head and let a few psi's out of his over inflated ego.

While you're at it, my wife asks that you knock some sense into me in the process.

From Tim: Mazz the NFLs case blew up like your Achilles in a pick up game.

I really haven't played basketball since, of course. Something tells me I won't be talking about labor law any time soon, either.

From Charlie: Where was all the backlash @TonyMassarotti after he wrongly predicted the Pats to beat the Ravens in 2013...

Charlie … my man! America needs more people like you.

From Woody: u bald headed short man

Guilty as charged. I'm currently a little on the dumpy side, too.

From Jamie: I haven't felt this good since you caved on the Logan Mankins trade.

How come nobody remembers that I said the pitching coach's job should be in jeopardy? Or that the Red Sox needed to blow up their baseball operation?

But then, that takes us back to the broken clock theory.

From Kevin: it's truly amazing that @985TheSportsHub allows you on the air still considering how incredibly wrong you have been!!!

Welcome to talk radio. It's not about right or wrong. It's about picking a side and making the noise.

From Felger Commenter: Hey @TonyMassarotti The beating the NFL took is second only to the one I just laid on the two of you.

Wish I could say it was the last. But something tells me this is going to persist for a while.

Happy Labor Day weekend, folks. Drive safe. I, as much as anyone, look forward to talking about football.

Tony Massarotti co-hosts the Felger and Massarotti Show on 98.5 The Sports Hub weekdays from 2-6 p.m. Follow him on Twitter @TonyMassarotti. You can read more from Tony by clicking here.
