Perhaps it was just one of his cunning stunts?

I love Mike and pretty much everyone on The Fan. I can see why people would hate Francesa though. Mike can be a little quick on the dump button.

Im sure Carton had a field day with this clip.

You'll have to forgive him. He was preoccupied trying to figure out who Al Alburquerque is.

Oh myyyy

What about PETA?

Jamdug!: TV/Radio normally has an 7-8 second delay (sometimes called the 'cough' button) - I wonder why it wasn't used there.

That's the dump button. The cough button is a mute.

Francesca is an insufferable douche - or maybe I'm just used to listening to people that can really talk football like most of the guys on the Sirius/XM NFL Channel. If you have to badger your interviewees or yell to get your point across, you should probably do something else, or be grateful for whatever fanbase you can manage to hold on to. Mike and The MadDog was unlistenable - and as bad as they were together, they are each simply horrible on their own. I honestly have no idea how they became so popular. Give me Tim Ryan and Pat Kirwan any day of the week.

Bravo, subby!

I prefer Racist Francesa (new window).

Guys who covered football for 40 years clearly know nothing about the game.

Funniest character on radio since the mid 90s

i don't take kindly to mike, but that was not an intentional blurb, so he should be okay.
/"nappy head-ho" was

I've heard Mike Francesa blunder once or twice, granted he spends a few hours on the radio, no biggie.

I'm glad I was able to order YES Network which shows his radio program daily for me, I get the best of both words as in Yankee Classic games as well as his radio show.

Beats the hell out of local Central Florida radio which pretty much praise the Bucs to win the next superbowl even though I can't recall how many games were blacked out this year already.

Cild Ward Hunt?

Helen Hunt?

We here in Rutgers (Or as he would say, 'Rutgiz") land can't stand him. Will bash Rutgers at any time possible, saying "No one cares about Rutgers" a lot. He's a Notre Dame homer, and talks about them as if they play their home games in NYC. Would rather talk about who the 5th starter for the Mets will be in the middle of January unless the Jints or Jets are deep in the playoffs.

Thinking of him makes me think of that "Maximum Trolling" gif I've seen here numerous times.

Ah right, but still they could have used it and didn't.

I imagine the person manning that button had a bit of a "deer in the headlights" moment thinking "did he just say what i think he just said?", while the seconds ticked away.

Why? You like waiting until 8 minutes into an interview for them to get to the only relevant question, which they ask in the softest manner possible, often at the expense of an actual answer?

Tim and Pat are the biggest suckups in the world.

Back in 2001 I was one of the grand prize winners in WFAN's Be a Guest Broadcaster Contest, and got to go to Shea Stadium and record a half inning in the booth with Ed Coleman. The station messed up though, telling me to come to the stadium on the wrong day (there were four winners, and hosted two one night and two the next). So I had to come back the next day even though I had taken early off work and all that.

As a make-good, they gave me a little extra in my prize pack, including an invitation for a studio visit. So I got to go to the studio for two hours and watch Mike and the Angry Puppy from the control room. During a station break at the top of the hour, Russo came into the control room, shook hands with me, and chatted for a minute or two. Francesa couldn't be bothered.

That fat bastard has lost it since Russo left. Russo didn't know a lot about sports, but he provided comic relief to counteract Mike fat ass miserable, down trodden, I'm always right ass. I started listening to them in 88, he wasn't too bad then, but over the years, he just became more of a venomous douchebag. I guess even a gold digging younger wife and having children didn't change him, so nothing will. It wasn't until he was on YES that people saw how he "won" arguments with callers. He makes a signal to cut the mic. On the radio, it sound like he leaves the caller speechless with his immense knowledge, when in fact, the caller was cut off before he voiced his final diatribe. Look the fatass up on youtube to see his "best" moments.

/Plus he's been stuck up Bill Parcels ass for so long, he thinks they are one.

I can't stand listening to that man most of the time. His interviews are solid, but anytime he starts to blather on I'd rather have a gun to my head than his voice. He repeats the EXACT same thing for about twenty minutes straight. The drive to work usually has WFAN on because Boomer can calm down Carton to keep him on point most of the time, but there is no counterweight to Francesa.

Thanks for the Meme-ries: Bravo, subby!

Well done.

FreakinB: "THAT'S A BAD JOB, MIKEY!"

"Dog, I made a uge...*uge* mistake"

"YOU CAN'T BE USING THOSE WORDS, I DON'T LIKE YOUR CHANCES, I SEE A LOSS FOR YOU, MIKE! A LOSS IN WEEK 13!"

"Uge, Dog"

THAT'S A GREAT POINT BY YOU BRINGING UP HOW HUGE IT IS, MIKEY!!

You Nailed it. I haven't listened to the Pompous Fatass since Dog left, until today.

Time for this egotistical bastard to go. Never have I heard a more closed minded sports host. Either he's right or you're wrong

We used to have a guy in Philly like that-Howard Eskin.

I find that I really don't mind him. Carton is really getting on nerves though and the schmoozer is best.
