Mike and the Mad Dog show (Not Done!) (1 Viewer)

I just watched it on the DVR, which is a helluva lot clearer than that Zapruder film. As much as I'd LOVE for him to have fallen asleep again, I don't think he did. He was looking down at something on the newspaper, and his head just drifted too much. He was slightly startled, but not "JUST WOKE UP" startled ( :eek: ) like the last time.

 
Watching the show from earlier today. He's discussing the Michigan schedule with his producer. He is informed that one of Michigan's wins was against Appalachian State.

"C'mon now. They beat App State. They shouldn't even be playing them. That's just a check. That's what you call a 'check game'.... we get a 'W' and they get a check. That's what that's about, okay? That's a gimme on the schedule. That's a schedule-holder, is what that is.They can't LOSE those games... there's NO WAY to lose those games."


He makes it too easy for me sometimes: http://youtu.be/nQnPg0lq1mo

Once upon a time there was a radio show in New York on WFAN called Mike & the Mad Dog. It was a great show. People loved it. The duo invented the term “Radio Row” at the Super Bowl, for pete’s sake!

Apologies if you are not from the New York Tri-State area and never listened to Mike Francesa and Chris “Mad Dog” Russo break down Roger Maris’ year-by-year numbers from “the book” and whether they were Hall of Fame worthy or not over the course of two hours on a warm summer afternoon. This 2004 article from The New Yorker captures a lot of what made the pair amazing on the air together. Or just read it and laugh at the pair watching The Horse Whisperer together and breaking it down like Game 7 of the 1994 NBA Finals.

The pair went their separate ways in August of 2008. Russo moved to satellite radio where he started his own SirusXM channel Mad Dog Radio — aka Radio Nowhere — while Francesa stayed on WFAN where, thanks to the then-YES simulcast he became a cult Internet hero and a one-man meme who now has a yearly “Francesa-Con” in his honor.

Russo also hosts a daily TV show on MLB Network, High Heat, and apparently wanted to have his former partner come on to talk about the Derek Jeter retirement story. According to the Mad Dog Underground podcast, Francesa declined the chance for an on-air reunion. The clip is embedded below and starts at the 6:25 mark. You can listen to hosts Babchik and Billy Z speculate why the reunion didn’t happen. They speculate Russo tweaking Francesa’s chummy relationship with Alex Rodriguez during an interview in November 2013 last year might have played a part.

For the last two weeks, Sayreville High School in Middlesex County N.J., has been seized by a calamitous football scandal.

It began with the arrest of assistant coach Charles Garcia after he was found with steroids and syringes, then with the reported hazing of freshman players that allegedly included anal penetrations with fingers, the fingers then shoved into the victims’ mouths.

It has made national news. Yet, the last to know seems to have been know-it-all Mike Francesa.

Wednesday — when a caller brought up the scandal, specifically the coach busted with steroids — Francesa remarked he has a “reliable source” who “told me” a Sayreville coach is alleged to have been involved with steroids.

On Tuesday, he interviewed (and interrupted) Jersey newspaper reporter Greg Tufaro, who first had to explain to him where Sayreville is. A day later, he had “a reliable source”!

What source? Ten-day-old newspaper stories he read on the Internet? The arrest of that coach for steroids was widely reported Sept. 27, the day after his arrest!

Francesa’s dishonesty and megalomania turned ’round to bite him. Again.

You will recall his bogus, self-inflated claim that New Jersey police sources were keeping him personally updated on details of their investigation following the 2010 arrest of Lawrence Taylor for having sex with an underage prostitute.

Francesa was under the impression the arrest was made in Ramapo, NJ. There is no Ramapo, N.J. Taylor was arrested in Ramapo, N.Y. Jersey police were not involved.

Francesa’s police sources were a total fabrication — another boastful lie he never has answered to — not to listeners and not to his feckless bosses at WFAN and CBS Radio. So on and on he goes.

Funny, I just sent this to Mushnick:

All week, King Blowhard declared that Ole Miss cannot win in College Station.College Station

College Station

College Station

College Station

I think he thinks knowing where A&M plays makes him an insider.

Anyway, right on cue.... 21-0 Ole Miss, and counting.

Mush always hooks me up!

John Perez, Bronx, suggests teaming Steve Somers with Mike Francesa as “The Schmoozer and The Snoozer.” By the way, Francesa’s Lost Tape Lock of the Week was home favorite Texas A&M over Ole Miss. Ole Miss, Sitting Bull huffed and puffed, can’t win in College Station. Final: Ole Miss 35, A&M 20.

I listened for probably half a minute while I was driving on Sunday morning. Speaking about Teddy Bridgewater, he said something along the lines of "He might not be a Hall of Famer, but he is going to be a very good quarterback for a long time in this league".

A few hours later: Bridgewater throws for 188 yards, 0 TDs, and 3 INTs.

 
His relationship with FS1 is absolutely hilarious. As soon as his show started today at 1:06:

"From the studios of WFAN and simulcast by FOX Sports 1, which means they have nothing going on...."

:lol:

And then at 2:30, they fade out of his show mid-sentence to go to the NLCS pregame show.

:lmao: :lmao:

That is pretty dang funny,

Such a shame. I loved Mike and the Mad Dog. I used to get annoyed when they let people call in because just listening to them going back and forth was solid entertainment.

 
Lmao at him arguing with his producer because he was told the cbs game on thanksgiving was an nfc battle of chicago vs detroit,

 
stupid southwest wifi blocks netflix and hbo go, so I'm here looking at the options that I have to watch for free and FS1 is one of them, so I am watching it. Several callers talking about the lack of coverage on Fox. This is some show.

did you hear yesterday? He was discussing eli manning and how he was a hall of famer because he had two super mvps and all the other qbs with two super bowl mvps were in the hall. He knew there were five qbs to win two super bowl mvps. He named four of them (starr, bradshaw, brady, montana) but he couldnt for the life of him figure out the fifth. It took him five minutes to realize it was eli, the guy he started the conversation about.

Seriously? Dumb of him not to figure that out, but also wasn't it just a couple weeks ago he was adamant that Eli wouldn't make the HoF unless he has a couple of elite seasons and/or another SB MVP???
 
RN, did Mike say Metzenberger today when trying to pronounce Mettenberger? Kind of like how he says Tannyhill and then goes nuts when people say Tom Cog-lin.

Missed that part. He got a couple of gambling things very wrong though.

This was one of them.

The other one, he was explaining how live betting works during a game. He said "for instance, in the game tonight, if the Chargers get out to a 14-0 lead, the 'live betting line' would be Denver -1". Uh, no. It would be roughly SD -4. That one's not a super big deal ... it's just that he states it as fact.

What a treat on Tuesday, Spike Lee and Mike Francesa, neither held unaccountable for their repugnant words and misdeeds, together on the air!Meanwhile, another knows-everything week from Sitting Bull included his dismissal of George Brett as not even close to the greatness of Mike Schmidt among 1980s third basemen. Francesa puffed that Schmidt was far “more durable.”

Not that Francesa would let him speak a word of dissent, but reader Stephen Palumbo would have told him Brett, 20 seasons to Schmidt’s 18, 2,707 games to 2,404, was more durable. Another lost-tapes, dead-wrong “fact” from “Let’s Be Honest.”

So fatso was saying game 1 was a must win for KC cuz theyve been on such a high, he can see after a long layoff if they lost game 1, to a more experienced team he can see things unraveling quickly for them.

KC lost game 1, won games 2 & 3

He is simply the worst
