Mike and the Mad Dog show (Not Done!) (2 Viewers)

[Yankee23Fan]

And forget about the radio. I'll listen to the other team's radio team if I am not in front of a TV.

It's amazing that a team as storied as the Yankees can trot out the garbage that they put on the radio. It's absolutely brutal.

I liked Michael Kay better when he was on the radio with Sterling - it was more bearable than it is now. Suzy Waldman and Jon Sterling seem like a Saturday Night Live skit - not the broadcast radio team for the NYY.

So true. Sterling and KAy together were awesome. It's been downhill since.

Mike's simulcast is reportedly heading to Fox Sports 1.

Which is owned by FOX same as YES. Im so confused

confused about what?

as an aside, moving to FS1 seems like a step up.

why would fox essentially fire him from one channel to hire him on another? The reason he was let go was his show was too expensive i thought.

I assume that FS1 has much greater carriage, so relatively speaking, it wouldn't be as cost-prohibitive. He also talked about editorial control, which I assumed meant the Yankees ownership.

 

[Raider Nation]

I wonder if FS1 will have a problem with him having his buddy Jim Nantz on from rival CBS to preview AFC football.

Maybe it did have something to do with the YES network-AROD thing. They were not happy about his pro-AROD stance and didnt' want that on the YES network

Many don't like Mad Dog, but he laughs it off, which is normal. BFM, on the other hand, can't take a single harmless joke.

 

[Raider Nation]

Reminds me of how he insists on calling the former Reds catcher "John Bench."

He can't possibly call him "Johnny" like every other normal person in the world does.

"That JOHN BENCH was a heckuva backstop, ya know that?"

 

[Raider Nation]

OMG he just said John Bench. Weird!!!

LOL @ the guy who just called up to suggest that Mike should be the next NFL commissioner.

I'm sure the owners are dying to have a guy everyone hates and who butchers the English language become the face of their league.

The guy makes millions of dollars a year owning the sports talk scene in the most important market in the country. And he's been doing it for almost 30 consecutive years. And before that he had an impressive career with CBS college basketball and NFL. Yeah crazy to respect that.

Guess what, he's a sour old man. You want to call his show like a moron, expect to be trashed.

Not Mike and the Mad Dog, but similar to Al Albuquerque.

Corrected by his staff.

Felger - "In case you couldn't tell, I don't care about the draft."

Awesome. Way to go!

Oh ####### genius.

That's embarrassing. I'm not saying he has to know who the backup left tackle for San Jose State is, but if you host an afternoon sports talk show in a major market, you MUST know who Sammy F---ING Watkins is!!!

Agreed. I watched some of the combine, and all they could talk about was Clowney, Manziel, Bortles, and Watkins.

Where was this guy? I guess it's tough in life to do a four hour show and then make appearances, but you have to know who this guy is.

Facts won’t get in Mike’s wayNot as if we needed additional proof he doesn’t know what he’s screaming about, but Mike Francesa’s know-it-all Tuesday take on Patrick Reed’s impressive PGA win on Sunday was less loud than it was dishonest and dead-wrong.

On the day word was dropped Francesa’s radio show would be nationally simulcast by FOX Sports 1 or 2, he gifted his new bosses a preview of how he fictionalizes facts, paints himself into a dark corner, then tries to holler himself out of it — transparently disallowing intelligent dissent until he delivers the last, authoritative, megalomaniacal word that the debate is over …

… and in his self-deluded world he remains undefeated!

Reed is a doughy 23-year-old upstart with a load of conditional confidence. On Sunday during the final round, NBC, in a getting-to-know-you, ran tape of his self-assessment. He said he believes himself “one of the top five players in the world,” adding he can beat anyone “if I’m playing the best I can.”

That interview was identified by NBC’s Dan Hicks as having taken place “last night.” In fact, Reed wore a blue shirt when he wore a red one Sunday.

Reed, in the last pairing because he had the lead after the third round, reached 18 with a two-shot lead. The 18th at Doral is a witch, its left side lined by water. Pros routinely double-bogey it.

In fact, before Reed hit, a graphic noted 51 balls had been hit into 18’s water, five in the last three groups. Yikes.

But Reed, who plays a draw — right to left — had the perfect, winning strategy at the perfect time. He would play for bogey, to win by one. He hit an iron off the tee, laid up in front, wedged on then two-putted to win.

Well, Francesa trashed the kid for not hitting driver in order to go for it in two. He then screamed that after wimping out, he then had the gall to boast that he’s a top-5 player. A top-5 guy would have hit driver! Says who? Says Francesa.

If Francesa was ignorant to the fact that in the final round of the 1999 British Open, Frenchman Jan Van de Velde committed an historic blunder when, with a three-stroke lead, he hit driver as the first act in a triple bogey — he would lose in a playoff — he proved it.

Regardless, what Francesa claimed — then screamed — had occurred, was not what had gone down.

The kid had made his “top-5” comment long before his final round began, which is what NBC’s Steve Sands referenced in a post-win interview with Reed. When callers tried to tell Francesa he had his facts wrong, Francesa trashed them, too.

Then, to further support his bogus position, Francesa claimed “other pros” ridiculed Reed’s last-hole decision. Although Francesa didn’t name any of them, it defies logic that any existed. Either way, how would he know?

So when callers first politely expressed logic-based disagreement, Francesa quickly, rudely shouted them down, then off. If FOX Sports doesn’t know his drill by now, we do.

The next day, as if he hadn’t shown his new FOX bosses enough, Francesa, the expert tout, continued his 20-year streak for being colossally wrong. His specialty is selecting heavy favorites that lose, outright. From his throne he declared the Nets (a nine-point road dog) that night would be walloped by the Heat.

By now, even if FOX is unaware or doesn’t care, you know the rest.
