Felger leaving ESPN Boston

[David Tomm]

It looks as if WEEI is taking on the papers with their online  
initiative.  If they can bring in enough writers who can work on-air  
and online, why partner with a paper?  Newspapers are slashing  
writers from their staffs.  WEEI could easily become the primary  
online source for sports news and opinion in Boston very quickly if  
they do it right.  Why share the potential ad revenue with the paper  
if you don't have to?
