Because they don't win when it matters.  They are great at winning when it is meaningless. Even worse, the HC celebrates like he just won the AFC title.

For the last two years, Mike Francesa has been working with BetRivers as a brand ambassador and host of his eponymous podcast, The Mike Francesa Podcast, which is available across podcasting distribution platforms. Rush Street Interactive has announced that it has reached a renewal of its exclusive, multi-year agreement with Francesa, extending their partnership and continuing the show.

The renewed partnership will ensure that Francesa continues serving exclusively to BetRivers in providing both network and social media content. Additionally, he will now host a daily program on The Mike Francesa Podcast YouTube channel where he will give his opinions, insights and analysis on news and react to games. Francesa is also going to be producing digital videos that will be featured on the BetRivers platform meant to enhance the sports betting experience for consumers around the country. Part of the role will also have him meet and greet BetRivers customers through personal appearances in east coast markets.

“I’m thrilled to continue my partnership with BetRivers, which in my opinion offers the best online sportsbook in the industry,” Francesa said in a statement. “Joining forces with the RSI team enables me to connect with fans in exciting and easily accessible ways, while providing my insight and instant reaction to the biggest games to audiences not only in New York but across BetRivers markets nationwide.”

Francesa, who was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2018, previously served as a co-host of Mike and the Mad Dog on WFAN before hosting solo on the station. During his time on the air, he garnered multiple Marconi Award wins as major market personality of the year and frequently finished at the top of the New York ratings books. Before his work on WFAN, he was an analyst at CBS Sports for its coverage of football and college basketball. Since joining BetRivers, Francesa has hosted his podcast two times a week and also created digital videos across BetRivers platforms.

“We are delighted to have Mike Francesa, the undisputed ‘King of New York’ radio, renew his partnership with our BetRivers family of Brand Ambassadors,” Richard Schwartz, chief executive officer of Rush Street Interactive, said in a statement. “Our BetRivers audience will now be able to see and hear Mike every weekday! Our customers tell us that his passion for sports, along with the stories Mike shares from when he worked with Jimmy the Greek, add a new level of fun to their betting experiences, further solidifying RSI’s dedication to providing top tier sportsbook entertainment.”

Rumor has it that he was supposed to take calls again.  That would be hilarious!

Mike Francesa clarifies his country club NHL playoffs sources after viral clip

Mike Francesa says he was not using random fans from his country club as his proxy for hockey analysis.

Earlier Monday, the X account BackAftaThis, a longtime Francesa chronicler who has managed to remain anonymous since launching his account in 2017, posted a clip of the former WFAN hosts talking about the NHL playoffs on his BetRivers podcast.

In the snippet, Francesa acknowledged that he hasn’t watched much hockey this season, but played golf last week “with a couple of my hockey guys that I rely on”.

Mike Francesa clarified that the golf friends whose hockey analysis he cited on his podcast had NHL experience and were not ‘some businessman’s hockey views’.BetRivers

“They told me the Rangers would have no trouble with Washington. They said Washington shouldn’t even be in the playoffs,” Francesa said, emphasizing that this had been relayed to him before Game 1.

The Rangers defeated the Capitals 4-1 on Sunday in Game 1 of their best-of-seven series, in which they were heavily favored coming in.

He said later, “They loved the Hurricanes. They thought the Islanders had very little chance against the Hurricanes, and they thought the Hurricanes had a great chance to beat the Rangers. They also liked the Florida Panthers a lot. And in the West, they liked Edmonton a lot.”

BackAftaThis made fun of this method of analysis.

“Mike Francesa does not watch the NHL. Fortunately, his golf buddies do. Here is a preview of the Stanley Cup playoffs from some random people at his country club,” the account wrote in the tweet accompanying the video clip.

Francesa, who almost never reacts to internet chatter about his content, insisted this commentary did not come from interlopers.

“For those of you dumb enough to think I gave you some businessman’s hockey views,” Francesa wrote on X Monday afternoon. “Those words of wisdom came from about 30-plus years of NHL experience.”

The Rangers host the Capitals for Game 2 on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
