If anyone has tapes of every Mike Francesa show since 1987 I'll take a listen this weekend and assemble top 10 list of most frequent guests
Francesa: I don't have an opinion about Keith Olbermann. I do I think he is just ya know kinda lost myself.
Not a fan of Olbermann but he's hysterical making fun of Mike.
wowza
The only thing worse is when Yankess fans call about possible player acquisitions.Does Fatso not realize what mind-numbingly terrible radio it is listening to Mets fans call up five and a half hours a day every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to announce their ridiculous trade scenarios which would fix the team right up!
"Yeah Mike, thanks for taking the cawl.... I think if we packaged DOODA and Ike, we could maybe get Miggy Cabrera. Whatchoo think about that?"
Step 1: Rent full size Santa costume. Ditch beard.Mark your calendars! Francesacon is coming!

I don't think Kay would've expected anything else. Pretty much everyone can acknowledge that the Pope is the premier A-Rod apologist in NYC.Would have loved to have seen Michael Kay's face when he heard Arod was going to Fatcessa for the interview yesterday
Big dopey Yankee schill with his **** in his hand.
You get a group of people who listen just to hear him belittle callers or pretend he's the smartest guy in the world, and then a larger group who listen all day because they're also the same guys who will try to frantically get through and wait on hold for an hour to make sure they can make the world know that the Yankees should really go after a bat this offseason.Driving back from Stamford to RI and listening to Mike. What a crusty old man, how does anyone listen to him regularly?
I dont really like Mike at all but if you will listen to anyone for hours on end you will be able to nitpick them to death.Raider Nation said:It's an interesting question. I've asked myself many times why I religiously listen to a guy I cannot stand. I think I know the answer. It doesn't happen every day, but when he gets completely and totally OWNED by a caller or his own stupidity, it's so, so worth the time investment.
All of his statements are 100% FACT...... until they aren't.
Yesterday, he spent 5 minutes examining the possibility of the Redskins getting Clowney. It wasn't until he came back from the next commercial that he "realized" the Redskins don't have a 1st-round pick next year. "I should have remembered this, but during the break the guys reminded me that the Rams have Washington's 1st-round pick."
Yeah, Mike.... you should have remembered it. God forbid you actually DIDN'T KNOW SOMETHING!!!
Pompous a-hole.
Because he's the best at what he does, and nobody comes close.Driving back from Stamford to RI and listening to Mike. What a crusty old man, how does anyone listen to him regularly?

Crusty old man? What are you 20?
He gets annoyed when some hipster doofus calls just to antagonize him, so would you. The guy wants to talk sports with no bells and whistles and that's it. No nonsense.You prefer these modern day homos like Rome or Cowherd? They suck.
He's not a crusty old man?
He is the DEFINITION of "crusty old man"...
No.He gets annoyed when some hipster doofus calls just to antagonize him, so would you. The guy wants to talk sports with no bells and whistles and that's it. No nonsense.

This is laughable, BTW. He initiates WAY more confrontations than the callers do. He's a classic bully.He gets annoyed when some hipster doofus calls just to antagonize him, so would you. The guy wants to talk sports with no bells and whistles and that's it. No nonsense.

That's amazing.
For weeks, tubby has been screaming that Cano isn't getting a 10-year contract from anyone, and that he's not going anywhere.
"WHO ELSE IS GONNA PAY DA GUY?!?!?!"
uke: uke:
Oops! Right on cue, Cano leaves for Seattle... 10 years, $240M.
not to threadjack but looking at your sig you need to have Mushnick cover the B'O'BBMushnick is already licking his chops for this weekend's column. He just checked in with me.
Ha! I actually heard this call while in the car yesterday and was wondering if the caller was right. In fairness to Crusty, pretty sure he was reading off Cano's finish in MVP voting the last several years and said All-Star by mistake.This one took a while to edit, but it's a labor of love. This guy is the gift that keeps on giving.
awesome job this is great!This one took a while to edit, but it's a labor of love. This guy is the gift that keeps on giving.
he sure seems to say a lot of stuff by "accident"not really a lie though. He clearly meant MVP voting and said all star voting by accident.This one took a while to edit, but it's a labor of love. This guy is the gift that keeps on giving.
not to defend the biggest jackass on the planet but you talk 6.5 hrs a day, 5 days a week without making some accidents.pantherclub said:he sure seems to say a lot of stuff by "accident"shadyridr said:not really a lie though.

This guy has so much hatred for Francesa... I think I love him.Mushnick is already licking his chops for this weekend's column. He just checked in with me.
The second bolded commentary is of course in reference to the video I made, which I sent to him also.MIKE “Let’s Be Honest” Francesa spent the entire week getting everything definitively, authoritatively, informed-by-imaginary-insiders, pompously dead wrong!From Robinson Cano (a non-issue; he’ll re-sign with the Yankees), to bogus “facts” about the DiMaggio brothers, N. Illinois will destroy Bowling Green (Bowling Green won by 20), Gary Kubiak’s future, Dustin Pedroia, and his revisionist 180 on Brett Gardner, the NFL Draft, Mr. Wizard got so much wrong that WFAN doesn’t have to bother “losing” one tape; it can have a bonfire — while heating half of Astoria!
But his best came when a caller asked why he’d cite All-Star balloting in assessing Cano. Francesa exploded; hollered that he’d never do that, never did that — the caller’s a liar! He hung up on the guy then continued to berate him as if he’d left him speechless — another Honest Mike transparency.
Of course, 20 minutes earlier Francesa did exactly as the caller claimed. WFAN wasn’t yet able to “lose” that tape.
So today, Let’s Be Honest will play both tapes then apologize to that caller. From the movie, “Fat Chance.”
Ha ha that's great. He made the right move....guy was boring.Raider Nation said:
OopsHa ha that's great. He made the right move....guy was boring.Raider Nation said:
Yeah, he doesn't know him. Maybe he's just bored with hypothetical and idiotic Met trades. You're losing it with this guy.Raider Nation said:Wrong. When a caller brings up a player who Mike knows NOTHING about, he pretends he's preoccupied and therefore can't get to the question.Ha ha that's great. He made the right move....guy was boring.Raider Nation said:
Fraud.
