Brandon Aiyuk reporting sparks a media fracas in Boston

I love a good media fight. Primarily when it doesn't involve me.Via Sports Business Daily, an interesting tussle emerged on Wednesday between long-time Patriots reporters Mike Reiss of ESPN.com and Mike Felger of WBZ-FM.It happened when Felger suggested Reiss was pushing a "team-friendly" report on a possible trade of 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk to the Patriots. Said Felger: ""To me, I smell a rat with the reporting on the money. . . . He's incredibly well-sourced within the Patriots. So I know where it's coming from, and I know how [the Patriots] operate." That prompted Reiss - one of the genuinely nicest people in the entire industry - to call the show. He said on the air, "The insinuation that bothers me is that you think, Mike, that this information is coming from the team."Felger said that's exactly what he thinks."You can feel that way," Reiss said. "But the fact that you think I would go on SportsCenter, on that platform, and say that based on something from the team. . . . you're creating a perception with listeners that that's the way this works. That's incredibly dangerous."Before I say anything further, I need to say this. Unequivocally. Mike Reiss is a great reporter....
