We have a show to do today.

The whole new acronym thing drives me effing penit.

Can we call him by his wing?

Shelgar and Mass.

On 985, the Sports Hub.

Let's go.

Promise to go back to the phone.

So let's do that.

Chip in Connecticut.

Go ahead, Chip.

So Felger and Mass, you're both former beat reporters.

And if you were approached by a high-ranking Patriots exec, not named Perillo,

and asked to write a column similar to what Volan did,

where you have to balance access and accountability and things like that versus your own integrity,

how would you handle it?

Yeah, early on I wrote the column.

Yeah, definitely. Yeah, but when you on I wrote the column. Yeah, definitely.

Yeah, but when you say ask the column, like, what do you mean by your boss? Or do you mean by the people you're covering? By the people you're covering. I mean by the people you're covering, you know, like what if it was one of the crafts? So listen, I don't want to act like I've above that or never did that. Of course I did. but I think over the course of my covering the Patriots, I graduated away from that.

I was I graduated. I migrated away from that, cultivating the sources versus just saying what I thought.

And I definitely, as the years went on, went more to what I thought, thus losing the relationships on the team.

But it's definitely either or.

Don't act like you get to have both.
