yes...Francesa has been a fade.....particularly in college.....big time!
Russo's famous line every week goes something like this "Go with Georgia...you're only giving up 4, so the spread will not be an issue. Just basically got to win the game on the field."
Spread will not be an issue???!!!! Then the team he takes wins the game but doesn't cover. LOL. Guess it was an issue!
Francesa thinks he knows everything about horses, just because he owns a couple.
Another guy who SUCKS is Sid Rosenberg. CLASSIC know-it-all. He SUCKS at gambling and in fact had to be sent away to rehab for sports gambling, drugs, and alcohol. Yet, despite admitting that he "had" a gambling problem, still continues to offer his "expert picks" over the radio. This guy needs to get a life. I'm glad Imus fired him. I guess anybody who is very opinionated and can act like a jerk can get a sports radio gig in New York. (also i.e....Stephen A. Smith)
I will try to post Sid's plays (fades for us) if he still gives them on Friday. he is just awful and will never learn that he cannot pick outcomes of athletic events.


Rosenberg doesn't work for WFAN anymore.

they fired Rosenberg? he had the midday show just this summer with Boningo.
I swear I just heard him last month.
What happened?
Glad they got rid of him.
For a recovering gambler, he sure talked about point spreads a lot!

He was let go on the weekend of the 13th..
The bottle was his enemy...He did not show up for his football show that sunday morning....I personally thought the man was stuck on himself and i am happy he is gone...Joe Beningo can handle the slot just fine by himself...I am a big Beningo fan,the ratings should improve with him going solo...

For Mike and The Dog...These guys are the #1 rated sports show in the country...my problem with these guys is they just simply disagree with the public to much..Put there show on and kick back and listen to how many callers they DISAGREE with in the 1st hour of the show.

On ESPN radio they run a slogan commercial...

WE TALK WITH YOU, NOT AT YOU....

That is directed toward Mike and the Dog...

I enjoy Dan Patrick on espn radio

Its evident that Mike - Dog spend much more time watching, reading and talking about baseball than they do football. It can be right in the middle of the NFL playoffs and College Bowl season with the baseball season long over with, and they will spend hours talking about the Mets or who was a better 3rd baseman.

Hey Dave ... stop coming up with these wacky trends ... jk ... I thought you stopper wagering?

If you are going to wager and want a trend ... I recommend sticking with that against the public system which is more profitable than other systems IMO.

Good Luck!

Yep,lol...you said it....i know,different strokes for different folks...but he works on a new york radio station with 2 baseball teams in town and he roots for the giants...and your right about the tennis..lol

His nickname around town is fruit loop,that does fit his personality

yes......1050 is tolerable.
And I love when they run that commercial "We talk with you, not at you." So true Soul Train.....that is obviosuly directed at Mike and the Mad Dog.
Then this guy Steve Somers.........he is stuck in 1994 because he is a Rangers hockey fan. He needs to let go of it already! You shouldn't be a fan on the radio........it makes you lose your objectivity. I love the Devils and he bashes the Devils for not selling out home games, and having their Stanley Cup parades in the parking lot of the Meadowlands. Who cares???!! At least the Devils win titles.......he is just jealous cuz the Rangers suck. I could care less where our victory parades are. He just lives to agitate Yankees or Islanders or Devils fans because he hates them. That act of his (playing old audio clips) is tiresome.
How can people actually call the Mike and the Mad Dog show and say "First time caller, long time listener. Love your show. You guys are the best."???
Just because they are on the radio doesn't make them experts or "the best."
Sid...what an idiot....Imus fired him long ago because he made too many cutting, beastly remarks. The one about breast cancer is the one that did him in.
Anyway......fade these NY guys!

I live in L.A., and can't get these stations, but I'm thoroughly enjoying this post.

Does NY POST have these consensus picks online?

I know Sid Personally. he likes the coke a little more than the bottle. He didn't show for his job at Giant Gameday for the fan because he hosted a party for a magazine in AC. His resignation was demanded and recieved that morning. He apparently fell off the wagon.
