Can you blame him? 30 years of the dumbest human beings ever calling you and asking the most idiotic questions. There was a time a fan asked have the NY Giants and the San Francisco Giants ever got together for dinner? Let me repeat that.. a person took the time to call up a talk show host, and ask if two franchises who bear the same name ever got together for dinner? Instead like these other morons who entertain these callers, Mike squashes them.. Or another time a Jets beat reporter went on. And it was clear this guy was not prepared. So, like an ignorant fool he begins making things up and pretending it’s facts. The thing about Mike, if you don’t know your shit. He will embarrass you.. It got to a point where the Jet reporter hung up and was never heard from again. Mike was never afraid to ask the tough questions that no one would ask. And let’s be real.. there are some clowns in this business. You think Mike is a hard listen? Listen to Bart Scott, or Stephen A. Smith. And if you really want to test your patience. Anyone from ESPN. They’re all terrible. Especially, Michael Kay and the bearded bitch Giants fan, and that box troll from hot 97. I just don't see how anyone could prefer Carton & Roberts over Mike Francessa. Carton knows less than your average fan about football and Roberts is a nerd who is always whining about his team sucking. At least Mike was neutral about teams and knowledgeable. The new program is more of a sideshow at a carnival.... To Mikes credit, he never got away from what being a sports radio talk host is. Talking about sports, and bringing fans information on their favorite teams. Now, it’s amateur hour at the Apollo Theater.

he got older and more grumpy. The weekly spot with Cashman, horse racing, etc dragged. Still, had to tune in. Was the best and when he on, he was great. 9/11, killing the Jets, the George Young interviews, etc. If he knew a topic or was the superior he would often dominate the interview imo, yet if he was the subordinate and had to dig he was the very best imo.

It was so stupid, but Mike doesn't know how to take a stupid joke..and that's the humor in it. I loved it. But yes. I'll take Mike Francesa over any of them. By far. Miss him anytime I'm in the car past 1pm

I wonder how many of the people who hate him were callers?? I used to love some of the opinions people would voice,so over the top. Ya know, stuff like people would say on the old Giants board. Like, we should trade Eli and get Josh McCown or Jay Cutler. Ya know, the good ole days lol.
There were a lot of QBs Giants fans wanted to kick Eli to the curb for (in his prime).
Think I might even recall Josh Freeman? 😁
But yeah, people would call with stuff like that and he'd get all dicky..it was good radio lol

HaHa, yes, yes, yes we all know that idiot Francesca but this is the thing that makes all the old sayings keep ringing true. I think this one fits also " A broken clock is right twice a day".
