can't believe his contract was recently extended.
 
I don't understand why WFAN pays him a ridiculous amount of money to be sit there and talk down to everyone and be incorrect a majority of the time. ESPN is a joke so there's no sports talk competition for him to worry about. WFAN would get the same ratings if not better if they move Boomer and Carton or Joe and Evan to that time slot.
 
Always cracks me up when callers say "Mike, i have a couple of points i want to make" when a caller is lucky to finish 1 point before being interrupted and hung up on.

I cannot stand and I mean cannot stand Mike interviewing anybody. He doesn't let anybody finish a sentence before he's answering the question for them or before he's asking something else. I'm listening to him interviewing Terry Collins yesterday before the All Star game. Not that I really care about Collins or the Mets but if I was Terry I would've punched the guy in the face. He cuts him off and answers his own questions over and over. I don't know how Tom Coughlin and Girardi deal with it but then again they're getting paid to go on with him so I guess that's it.

His interviews are very self-absorbed and cookie cutter, especially if it's the twice a year Bettman or Michaletti ones. He knows the history of sports well and I thought he was good back when he was CBS NCAA tournament coverage, but the FAN stuff is too Yankee oriented most of the time which is overkill. Guess it dosen't help that I'm an O's fan. His strength is actually when there's a Penn St. scandal or things like that he's pretty well versed.
 
I have been listening to the FAN for over 20 years. They used to have people call all the time about hockey but moron Fatcesa and Mad Dope constantly refused to take the calls. So what you have now because of that is the same 200 idiots that call up every day on baseball. Nobody else cares.

If you got a couple of hockey people on like Melrose and Joe. M. and did a couple of hours, once a week, the lines would be lit up. WFAN has kissed Fatcesa's butt forever.

b/c there's really nothing else to listen to on the 30 minute drive home. Music stations are horrible with top 40 garbage so i have to listen to sports.

If Francesa wasn't on during the commute time i would never listen to him. It's great when he's on vacation and Beningo/Roberts fill his spot.

interesting, didn't know people get paid to go on that radio interview. So like the weekly spot with Girardi/Collins, they get paid every week for it? i guess it shouldn't come as a surprise since nothing's free nowadays.

And yes, his interviews are pretty bad. "no question, no question"
 


This clip of Francesa announcing the new pope sums up Francesa perfectly. Just mumbling and stumbling his way through it, acting like he knows what he is talking about but just muttering nonsense non-stop for 5 minutes straight.

Pretty funny clip to get you through the slow Rangers news day

Yes, they have a contract to appear every week on the program. I like the repeated no question. That's another Francesa trademark. He repeats himself over and over.
 
"A-rod...do you think the hip will be a problem? Now, do you ... uhh... envision anything...could be problematic? What do you think, Alex, will give you the most problems? Will it be a problem with the hip?" (Standard Mike question)
 
Francesa not happy with last night's loss, lol. Listened to the first few mins of his monologue and talked about trading Rivera to the Tigers for their top OF prospect.

Boy, that would start the fire sale alright LOL
 
Trade Rivera? Never!! The guy is what, 60 or something? Let him retire a Yankee when he's good and ready.

I don't watch or care about baseball, so I might be totally wrong. Just my uninformed opinion.
 
Mike should start his show off every morning with, "Welcome, let's open up the lines to the same 200 morons who have been calling on baseball for 20 years."
 
I can't believe the crappy Yankees are 6 games out and Fatcesa is talking about baseball like anybody cares. God he's dumb.
 
haven't listened to him recently but he is such an obvious, biased Yankee fan on his show, so not surprised that's all he talks about.
 
The Yankees aren't news worthy. They suck. Nobody cares about them which is one of many reasons their stadium is always half empty this year.

Sometimes I wonder about you. Yeah the rrsdon for empty seats is because they suck and not because of the prices of the seats. Btw you do realize that even though the seats are empty people are still in the stadium

the dimished mind of a soon to be 40 year old
 
Absolute nonsense. When team was a legit contender the stadium was full. Corporations will buy tickets when they feel the team is good. Some of the seats that are empty are the seats corporations buy. They no longer buy them because the team is a bunch of old farts. You are also completely out of touch with the youth in this country. They don't care at all about baseball. When kids don't want to go to games, parents are glad not to spend money on games to take them there.

You sound like a pathetic, Yankee apologist. All the media has been talking about is how Yankees attendance and t.v. ratings are down. Yet, you still think it isn't true. Unbelievable. Their attendance is so pathetic they give away unsold tickets for free to city kid organizations. Spare me the seats are empty but people are still in the stadium crap. That was embarrassing.
 
What's really great is the Mets are about to own this city while the Yankees suck for a long, long, time because their GM is a moron and they have no clue how to draft. I don't even like the Mets.
 
I heard him a little today, at least he's showing some balls by saying it's a joke to consider Ichiro having 4000 hits.
