cant stand the guy

Today he spent "the whole show" on football and homosexuality.I heard the first minute and the last. Riveting.

The big blowhard works for Michael Kaye's company. lol

NO, they BOTH work for Fox which Michael Kay does not own. Learn to read.

Wait a second, wait a second, wait a second. What channel? Let me finish, let me finish, let me finish. 'Dis is enormus!

He always has that furrowed brow. Does he ever relax?

Hate to say this but outside of the NY area he will not do well.

He already has for years now - His show on YES was nationwide.

Yes it has BUT that was a regional sports network for the most part that people had to pay extra to get. This is featured on FS1 a national sports station.

Michael Kay started his show by throwing Francesa's soda bottle in the trash can.
Francesa should start his show by picking a soda bottle out of the trash can and putting it back on the desk. Game on!

Oh good! I've been having trouble falling asleep since he went off the air. Now I can end my insomnia.

Cool, now I can avoid THAT station!!

Good Mikey! Show the rest of the country how it's done.... Finally someone on Fox1 that knows sports in depth...rather than the unprepared Jocks and celebrities roaming and goofing around.

Francessa brings NY class, knowledge and attitude... It's ok to be arrogant as long as you back it up...... That's how we roll in the NYC.... He's Miked Up!!!

You wanna make money.....? Follow Mikey in the Tournament....

Hilarious (or at least I hope was the intent).

.N.Y. class? Yeah I've seen that down on the Bowery

Ray-Ka-Teenah!

It's YUUUUUGE! Franceser on Focks! Replaces one tired old New York personality who went to a Catholic college (Regis Philbin) with another. Gives Fox Sports 1 instant, turnkey programming.

He's going to get on TV in time for the NCAA tournament....so instead of watching the actual games you can watch this fat idiot??

I hope FS1 hired someone to hit him with a cattle prod every time he falls asleep on the air.

Fat Boy is still "searching" for his sidekick (just like OJ is "seeking" the real killer).

I also do not like either of them but at least Kay will let the callers make their points. Francesa talks over about every 2nd or 3rd caller as they are speaking. "Wait a second, wait a second, wait a second!"

The ones he doesn't talk over, he hangs up on...

Yes, you can see what he does. If he's not happy with the caller, or doesn't have a legit answer for the caller, he quickly disconnects the call. Not exactly the proper way to debate or discuss. In other words, it's his way or the highway. No room for discussion or compromise.

I met Mike & Russo years ago at Mulcahy's one Sunday - Mike was polite, butRusso was a true gentleman & seems to really enjoy hanging out with fans & talking sports.....but I will be the first to admit I find it hrd to listen once he goes on a tennis rant - Kinda like Mike with Horses & Kay with himself.

Wait a minute,wait a minute,wait a minute,I have forgotten more about sports than you will ever know.Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Right, he makes how much and you make how much? A few networks were looking to pick up Mike, he got a national one and what ones were looking to pick you up?

classy

a knowledgeable grumpy old fart, who is also very opinionated. a little surprised he's still around...

Who cares ?

Only a dumb mongo like you doesn't. He is NY Sports Talk, you're nothing but a filthy peasant.

This mongo doesn't either.

No....most people commenting just don't like Francesa because he's an arrogant blowhard who treats his callers like crap. It has nothing to do with Obama or Fox.

Well, I don't like Fox, Obama, or Francesa. Is that OK in your narrow minded world?

Turn off the TV & get out more often - Not EVERYTHING boils down to Republicans vs. Democrats.

If you don't like him,don't watch him.At least he's not the consummate bottom feeder,with brown on his nose like Kay has.

Don't think much of a person from Long Island that spells island, "ICEland". Maybe another year in 'special education' was needed.

A windbag like him will fit right in with Fox.

MAYHAM has some serious Man love for Francesa. You watch his simulcast with your pants around your ankles.

Mayham: are you Fransayso himself?

I'm glad to read that I am not the only person who does not like him. Everyone who calls in on his show loves him? Well, maybe not Revis lol Mike actually thinks he knows Football as well as Revis does?

Those are the callers that are not filtered out. Rarely do you ever get someone on there that's allowed to rip him. They are screened out or probably dumped out of the feed and replaced with a pre-recorded "Back after this".

Don't love him but can reference a show topic from more than a year ago...hmmmm.

That was kind of a big story at the time, so yeah, it's possible to not listen to him and still know what happened with that.
