I was a teen living in NYC Metro when WFAN went on the air. For me, Mike & The Mad Dog was must listen radio. The two complimented each other. Be great for the two to get together on Mad Dog's satellite radio station. Francesca is leaving WFAN sometime this year. If you enjoy the all sports radio format those two were the trailblazers.

Francesa is one of the worst radio talkers I’ve ever heard. He’ll repeat a point 5 or 6 times in a row. I cannot listen to him at all.

I loved it when Fruitloops would talk about the Giants and Will Clark.

I understand what you are saying and I tend to agree up to a point.

Listening to grown men do nothing but talk about sports for hours on end—when they never played the game—is tedious.

I worked with Sports writers for fourteen years. Sometimes the length that they go to is fill up a column of news print or a two minute broadcast was simply crazy.

Mike is NEVER wrong (just ask him), and Chris (Mad Dog) needs to take a sedative (or two).

Same here. I stumbled upon WFAN in 1989 as a teen and listened to Mike and the Mad Dog and Knicks games Steve Somers on the overnights. That’s what got me into talk radio. Imus was also on the station, this was back when the Imus In The Morning show was funny.

Mike & The Mad Dog is a talk duo perfectly suited for the NYC market, but not so much for the rest of the country.
