He says these things for the ratings. Controversial radio is good radio. Yeah, it's pretty sleezy what he did with Braylon and I don't agree with it personally. But, Jets fans continue to listen to Mike and contributes to his good ratings. He can do whatever he wants because he know he's going to get the ratings no matter what he does. In terms of having players on the show, it doesn't matter that much to me. As long as you can discuss the team intelligently and have guests on who do the same it makes for good sports radio. Mike doesn't discuss the Jets very intelligently because of his immense bias against them. I don't take what he says with any validity because of this. He lets Jets fans by letting them call in and say whatever they want then openly mocks them. He uses the most condescending voice when saying things Jet-related. Believe me, it's not just Jets fans that are put off by what he does.
In response, someone should follow up and ask him, if the Jets made this decision to help ESPN radio, why the timing? Why in January of last year, and not all season long? Why did he have Jets on all season last year, and then suddenly, after he spent a week ripping the Jets (needlessly) after the first Colts game, ESPN suddenly decided to ask the Jets to embargo players? Funny how it coincided with Francesa calling Ryan a clown. Doesn't wash Mike.

Fatcessa is like the Rush limbaugh of sports talk. lol u guys all hate him but still listen to him. I like his conspiracy about ESPN trying to gain competitive advantage against him too, so similiar to conservative radio hosts conspiracy talk
I'm an Islander fan and I'm concerned about the organization, but really? Today is the day for Islanders calls?
