TuscanyTile2 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The countdown is on to December 15th, Francesa's last day at WFAN. Will he surprise everyone and continue on or will he ride his snow-blowah to greener pastures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southparkcpa Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 As big a douche as he can be, what he and Maddog accomplished was incredible. Got me through a lot of long commutes in NYC. Rarely missed a show when I lived in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetFaninMI Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I listened to Mike and the Mad-Dog as well and his show on Sunday mornings. "In the League where they play for pay". Great line. Too bad he got full of himself and became a raving a-hole. Now all I see is Krispy Kreme's in his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southtown24th Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I listen EVERY single day and I do not miss a day. He is must listen for me. Fun, entertaining, mindless listening. Not tuning in to listen to Jets' hype or to listen to someone boring...Francesa goes hard and takes people to task because it GETS RATINGS and I love every minute of it. When it comes to entertaining folks and getting great ratings, the man is a genius and second to none in that business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetscrazey Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 After the Carton thing I wouldn't be surprised if WFAN threw a ton of money for him to stay on longer. I just hope they don't bring on Chris Christie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet9 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I actually like Mike. He can be a bit overbearing sometimes but he does know his sports, especially baseball and football. I don't like that ignores hockey until the playoffs, but in his defense, he does admit he doesn't know much about it and brings on some decent hockey guys for interviews during the playoffs. I'm surprised 12/15 is the day. He's not going to finish out the football season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Bowl before I die Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Francessa is an acquired taste . He will be back in some other form (podcast or something else) . How about a show on Dog's Sirius station ? Mike and Bill Simmons ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleckineau Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Mike knows his stuff. Many Jets fans dislike him because of his Giants slant. Doesnt bother me as there are plenty of other people like that in my life. I dont need everyone to agree with me especially regarding sports. He is a big time horse race guy and he will probably go all in in that realm if he does retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadienJetsFan Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I started tuning in when so many of our fellow jet posters where labeling him anti Jet. I'm glad I did. He's a pro's pro. I still listen in daily up here from the great white north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I have to turn him off is when he talks braindead golf, otherwise, the man is a brilliant sports and political mind. Very smart gentleman and all of you that hate him are nuts.

ChuckkieB Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Mike is a blowhard but I listened to Mike and the Mad Dog regularly since they initially teamed up. The show wasn't the same after Mad Dog left, and I don't tune in nearly as much over the last few years, but Ive always enjoyed the show. Mike is an acquired taste, and even those who dislike him will miss him once he's replaced with the next flavor of the month shock jock loudmouth.

Problem is he has issues when someone disagrees with him and has a better understanding of the topic, he gets all flustered and usually just hangs up. He never admits when he's wrong .

That's EXACTLY WHY people call, that's EXACTLY WHY people tune in...because he does crazy, narcissistic, a$$hole stuff like that...I love it and apparently, so does most of NYC.

Whoever crosses his business interests or doesn't coincide with WFAN's business interests gets "ragged" on. The clowns/fools/pansies who take it personally and take him seriously are the ones who need to grow up and grow a pair. Listen to him talk...he's DEMOLISHING OBJ now...you know why? OBJ stood Francesa up at a charity dinner where it made Mike look like a fool...Now OBJ is a piece of sh*t in Mike's eyes...follow the money... Not to mention: he "ragged" on the Jets because the Jets SUCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
