Mike only knows baseball. He knows nothing about football or basketball.

Russo only knows about baseball and tennis.

Mike is the most pompous condescending douchebag in the NY media. He's friends with Bill Parcells. Whoop de do. I used to listen to him and Russo and they were decent. Mike is just another blow hard that knows more than the rest of the world.

When did sports become about guys like that? Or who knows more?

I listen to about 15 minutes a day of Boomer and the other guy in the morning en route to work and thats my fill

some caller asked Mike how he met Parcells. Innocent question, no? Mike basically blasted the guys head off, didn't answer, and moved on.

Anyone know how they met?

I'm thinking they met on a celebrity diet group or gamblers anonymous or something similarly embarrassing.

I can't believe Francessa still has the afternoon drive time show. I like just about everyone else on the Fan better. As some have said, he knows nothing about b-ball and does not take the time to even sound intelligent when he talks about it. He should just say its not my sport and I don't follow it in my opinion. He is very condescending, thinks he knows it all and in fact is often quite ignorant and close minded when it comes to most topics.

Can't the same things being said about Francesa be said about 90% of the posters on this board?

I just found YES on my cable line up the other day. I never realized its been there and for how long I don't know. I set my box for favorites and rarely change it.

I listened to Mad Dog on his XM show and his stammering is almost unlistenable. Lots of filler nonsense and transparent drama and posturing. I usually switch over to ESPN radio or Fox Sports. Gary Williams is ok in the morning but Mike an Mike do a pretty good job and its only a 13 minute drive for me in the morning.

If it's only a 13 minute drive in the morning, have you considered riding your bicyle? Your brain would benefit immensely.

Im in a suit all day. Weather does play into why thats not a good idea. Its not a bad idea mind you. Rain and heat won't make me look good when I get there. Taking a client to lunch on my handlebars might be fun!

I agree with fishmike completely, and with others who have correctly pointed out that Mike F. loves to talk down to players and coaches alike. He loves his own voice so much that he has to repeat everything he says like three times...it's like a tick or some ocd thing. We heard you the first time, your point isn't so nuanced or complicated that it bears repeating three times!

Where the hell is Max Kellerman?? He was the only guy on sports radio who I found remotely interesting or intelligent.

Also, side note, pls sports talk guys, don't talk about anything but sports, or try to be funny. It's totally embarrassing and cringeworthy. Thank you.

There were alot of rumors that Mike was trying to bring Max in to be his side-kick. Not sure why it fell through.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.
