I can see it now. Jet's beat two great teams to get there but lose in the Superbowl and Francesa saying (terrible impression): "Da Jets ah no 2007 Giants. Dey didn't have da heart to pull it off and dey talk from supahbowl week and awwl season backfired on them. That Matt Ryan kid is awwwl world. Sanchez wasn't even on the same PLANET as him in dis game." And then he says something witty with a smirk and looks up at the two guys.
Funny, he addresses the picks, but not the accusations about being a hypocrite with Paterson. Don't touch that one.
I've never listened to him before really, but wow you can tell from that how much he hates the jets. you can hear it in his voice. why would any jet fan wanna listen to this garbage?
Good point. It's all about ratings with management. Not being able to bring in significant guests (like Ryan, Sanchez, etc) at such a critical time in NY Sports (9-2 Jets vs. 9-2 Pats) is not good for ratings. It's a bad reflection on them all and discourages advertisers, which hits the owners in the wallet. I detected a somewhat more "Jet friendly" tone from Fatty the other day (Tuesday) when taking calls from Jets fans about the NE game. I wonder if he wasn't already talked to by then about toning down his anti-Jet bias in lieu of the fact that the station probably had already called Rex to get him on and Rex probably saying the equivalent of "fuck you" to station management. It wouldn't surprise me if he got a good ass-reaming over them not being able to bring in some of the Jets. So instead, he's back to talking to the likes of Paterson, of all people, and rambling on about everything except football and what might possibly be the MOST SIGNIFICANT game of the season as far as New Yorkers are concerned. So they tune in hoping to find Jets personalities talking about the Pats game and instead have to endure hours on end of politics, favorite movies, restaurants and shows in NY. Christ, you can tune into Joan Hamburg if that's what you're into. You don't need Mike Francesa to talk about all that other irrelevent, non-football nonsense.
Thanks bro, I look forward to contributing! Gotta admit as much of a Yankee fan as I am I'm really getting sick of the Jeter talk. The jets have the biggest game of possibly their history coming up and he spends a "football friday" talking about Jeter, C'mon maaaan
Derek Jetah!!! 69 Cubs. Mahk Teshera. Cliff Lee. Cahl Crawfid. Mooah Footbawl Friday coming your way.
He has become irrelavent during Football season. And his Sunday show is a bore fest. Even my Giant friends hate it. He's on his way down and the Jets winning could only make it worse
you can bet that if he were 25-5 or something the record would be kept perfect and he would be repeating it everyday.
This segment is what started my personal jihad against fatty. I was listening to this stuck in traffic on the Cross Bronx, and was just outraged at his hate and bias. He reacted to Rex's comments as if Rex had said child rape and euthanasia of old people were a good ideas. Yet this douche will suggest that Meggett might not have gotten a fair trial and say almost nothing about LT's rape of a child. I listen to help spread the word about what a fucking, bitter, biased, LT and Meggett-defending, Edwards bashing idiot he is, both on and off the board. Fuck you Fatcessa.
He is boring and can't get guests that anybody wants to listen to. So he screams at people, interrupts them, makes up lies about rex ryan and spends hours talking about jeters contract and mass transit issues..... 3 Days before the biggest game of the season and what Jets has he had on his show???
So after 3 hours of Jeter, the 69 Mets and Cliff Lee he finally started to talk about the biggest game of the season in the NFL so far.
[YOUTUBE]V-jdEb5zxL4[/YOUTUBE] The thing about this video is that Francesa is talking directly to Rex Ryan when he makes these comments. I'm quite sure he wouldn't be saying this shit to his face, but instead he figures he can say them hiding behind his microphone in the safety of his studio surrounded by his Patriots-blowing stooges. I'd like to see Fatty say this shit (with that tone of voice) in a live TV studio with Rex sitting in front of him. In a way though, he signed his own pink slip when he made these comments, because now you understand why there is no way in hell that Ryan agrees to boost Francesa's ratings by coming on his fucked-up Joan Hamburg-like show this week, the week of perhaps THE MOST IMPORTANT AND NOTEWORTHY NFL matchup of the entire football regular season. The ratings for this MNF game are going to be off the charts and Fatty could have benefitted from that spinoff. But not after this tirade. No one in their right mind would blame Ryan for telling this station to go fuck off. So let's see, Mike. If we're not discussing baseball this afternoon, can we talk about your favorit movies again? Yeah, that's real good for your fucking ratings.
the funniest part of the whole thing is he's yelling at him like he's actually talking to him live when he's talking over a pre-taped presser.
