to be fair , its true this guy does pull more ratings. i honestly love espn radio though. i rather listen to michael kay on espn NY, i agree more with kay than fransesca. plus i feel franseca gets really rude at times. its lke hes saying hey u dont like my shows that fine get the heck out of here than. n he screams at his callers. hes really old school. but when i saw his ratings for ny, it seems as people really do like his show
Interesting. So your argument is: either you like Francesa or you're jealous. Is it possible that people don't like him because of his arrogance? Is it possible people don't like him because he lacks flair and personality? Is it at all possible? Or have you concluded beyond a shadow of a doubt that the only reason a person would not like Francesa is because that person is jealous?
Dog's biggest mistake is letting Howard Stern rope him into this petty crap. To be honest Mike's show is not as fun or interesting as it was when Dog was on the show. Mike talks over guests is often inpatient or flat out rude to callers and his crew on the air. His ratings are up because his Yes show and radio show have NO one challenging his time period. I was suprised SNY didn't air Maddog that network has way too much dead airtime with classic old film footage.
Yeah, he's abrasive at times. That's part of what makes him who he is and what people enjoyed. Not everyone wants nice, polite radio especially when you're discussing topics like sports which are just entertainment anyway. If he was so beatable other stations certainly would've challenged him but they obviously didn't for a reason.
Mike always let his callers speak, I only had 1 problem with him to date and it happened today, when he failed to admit the public is treating this Roethlisberger scandal quieter than Kobe's and Tiger Woods
This is why I continue to listen to Russo. Does he know as much as Mike about sports? Probably not, however Russo lets his callers speak. He has fun every day and he has much more passion and personality. Mike's show has dried up so much and his true colors are out there for the world to see
Well to be fair there is no competition between Satellite radio subscription service and standard terrestrial broadcast frequency radio waves. The Arbitron- turned-Nielsen ratings service proves Mikes point: you are in competition for listener numbers within the market you are heard in on a radio. Satellite transmission is not rated by Nielsen so there is no competition. Mike is in competition for listeners with Hannity, Michael Kay and whoever is on 77 WABC 3pm to 7pm. And when the Mets are on NEWSRADIO 880 during Getaway Day Games! But we all really just want to see Mike and the Mad Dog get back together. It would get a 10 share!
@dbreiden83080 To be fair, Russo was the one starting shit here. But yes, Mike is a MASSIVE egomaniac. It never fails to amaze me how much he loves himself.
Those guys pushed Mike Francesa to go out of character like this. Like him or not Mike was right on about this and like ZombieBernieMac said - Mike came through in a BIG SPOT. Unlike A-Rod who, when had the opportunity to explain himself in his interview - failed in the clutch...again.
I feel bad for Mike. Everyone who's ever been in an exclusive echelon, especially in the public eye, has had to deal with the unfortunate, stressful consequences of rumor spreading worthy of The Hills and overall female behavior from colleagues. WFAN is the fucking shit. I'm not the biggest fan of Francesca, but I've been in his position before, and let me tell you it's about as pleasurable as inserting a catheter. It's an unfortunate world we live in.
Chris Russo doesn't know sports, nor does he like sports.. he's a Jerry Lewis wannabe gimmick.. Francessa = substance.. he has a great sports iq.. love him or hate him, his sports iq has to be respected.. and the truth is that he's witty and entertaining and has a great subtle sense of humor.. Stern is old news, and currently a cornball.. Russo kissing up to Stern and backstabbing Mike is a prick move... when the smoke clears, there's no doubt that Francessa is the best there is
"Mikedup...Francesser on the FAN..."
He went on Howard stern because he has a sense of humor
Then that's the last place he should be. Show is horrible
@@e2go Agreed. It's a shame what that fraud has become. Probably still bunkered down in his apartment ranting about covid and vaccines.
@@e2goThis was 2009 bud. Duh.
@@mr.brenman2132 That gay jew was never funny bud
@mr.brenman2132 That dumb jew was never funny bud
Not used to hearing Mike Dupp anymore. Court me buys a prize, ughkay?
Does mike not realize asking Dog to “open his show” is kind of demeaning and insulting??! Haha. Mike is kinda clueless sometimes, socially.
He knows
Who the fuck is Mike Dup?
Aay u guys its 6 yrs later and Mike is still on top. what the and where the fuck r u nay sayers at now huh.??
King.
King.
NEW YORK SPORTS RADIOOOOOO!!! MIC'D UP, MIC'D UP!!! MIKE'S THE MAN LOL
Francesa for Life
Mike hates radio row yet he is there this year..... hmm
Miked up he's ready to blow on the fan, New York flab radio! He's eating his pie anyway that he can. Its big fat Francessa on the fan!
Noncompete clauses in contracts...happens a lot on TV, radio and even regular day to day businesses where there is direct competition
@jdaking1
Because ESPN Radio comes in horribly in NJ and WFAN is the only other Sports Station in the state.
Miss the Mike dupp song lol
“Ok … mmm ok”.
Mike Dupp > Mike Zaun

Gotta love the Err and not the ahh
Hmmm, I wonder what took place b/t Francesca and Parcells? odd....
what happened between francesa and parcells?
Godfather One Baptism Scene-esque
now they're buddies again. and both backed off what they said.

Dog is better
@johnnyapplebot Sirius gave Russo a boatload of money to start his own channel, and apparently he just couldn't pass that up.
dog was not talkin shit about mike.listen to the interview
Regardless of what mike says, he got pwnt superbowl weekend.
Put the date on this video. Whats the matter with you??
Dog's biggest mistake is letting Howard Stern rope him into this petty crap. To be honest Mike's show is not as fun or interesting as it was when Dog was on the show.

what happened between mike and parcells
Why did Mike and Chris Russo break up?
ego problems
espn and sirius put an "embargo" n his show?
I hate too say it, but shiziest you're right!
This guy thinks hes doing brain surgery
You're a shmuck 11 years later dufus

how does ESPN have the authority to "embargo" guests from appearing on mikes show on WFAN...
Kingthings9006 Because those employees are under contract with ESPN and they don't want them helping the competition get ratings. Makes perfect sense.
Well said...@@paulmeier2563
Show me the ratings, please.
Looks like he has rabbit ears
He works all by himself and he is still going stronger than ever.
True Story?
Im sorry man, Im a Mike Francesa fan but Mike cannot compete with Stern
@dbreiden83080 To be fair, Russo was the one starting shit here. But yes, Mike is a MASSIVE egomaniac. It never fails to amaze me how much he loves himself.
But did he know he was in competition??
mike dup lol
@avataz or a redsox fan.
Mike Francesa is the best, ESPN hates the Yankees, Giants & Jets. So why should anyone from New York or Jersey listen to ESPN?
Ok ok ok ok
My god, was that theme song cheesy and outdated.
not in the ratings he didn't
lol, wearing what looks like the same exact shirt today.
thats like saying The Beatles are the worst thing that ever happened to music..I bet you have never listened to Howard
Dupp
mike is nothing without chris
Those guys pushed Mike Francesa to go out of character like this. Like him or not Mike was right on about this and like ZombieBernieMac said - Mike came through in a BIG SPOT. Unlike A-Rod who, when had the opportunity to explain himself in his interview - failed in the clutch...again.
Hey man Fox News is damn good

Ugh
is russo still even on the air? they need to get back together
sounds to me like this dude is making excuses.
He's on the FAN saying how its his show. Like he's bigger than his listeners. I'm tired of him.
Mike >>> Russo
Chris Russo is an obsessive liar
