Wed, Bed Or Kill?

A Boston sports radio host has come under fire for touting an online polling game that asks men which high-profile, Boston female news anchor - (left to right) Maria Stephanos, Sara Underwood or Bianca de la Garza - they would wed, bed or kill.

According to Jessica Heslam at bostonherald.com, Barstool Sports posted the “hot Boston reporter edition” of its regular poll Tuesday. While that’s par for the course for the smutty site, “98.5 (WBZ-FM) The Sports Hub” yakker Mike Felger then went on-the-air and encouraged his radio listeners to vote for Underwood - his wife and a weekend anchor and reporter for Fox 25.

Apparently, many voters were in favor of “killing” Underwood, or “the Wood” as her hubby affectionately calls her.

“I need help because I don’t need the Wood killed,” Felger told listeners. “I’m asking you to marry her or (expletive) her.”

Maureen Gallagher of Jane Doe Inc. had harsh words for Underwood’s Lesser Half.

“The fact that Mike Felger unapologetically speaks of his wife, one of the women in the poll, in these terms is disrespectful to her, offensive to all women and many men, and promotes the idea that it is funny and acceptable to degrade women, even those you supposedly love,” Gallagher said.

Felger sought to downplay his clownish on-air banter. “We try not to take ourselves that seriously,” Felger told MediaBiz.
