Mike can be a blowhard, but there is no reason to give him crap for time spent on the Jets. They are the Giants station, ESPN is the Jets station. WFAN airs the G games, ESPN NY the Jets. All day the EsPN talk focuses on the Jets, and WFAN on the Giants.
Fuck Francessa...Its not about the coverage as much as the gloating he gives for the Giants and credit he does not recognize for the Jets
Mike can be a blowhard, an idiot and a liar ("I DID NOT fall asleep") but he also needs to be commended for the good stuff he does and I've heard him be very good. Also, you have to give him credit for year-in, year-out dealing with one of the most idiotic caller bases in the history of talk radio. I travel for a living and have been listening to WFAN in the afternoons for years (and THE NFL NOW or whatever it's called now for even longer). 80% of his callers are mind-numbingly stupid. They are right down there with the callers on the NASCAR and SEC stations. One of my favorite things about his show is some caller making a ridiculous claim, Mike asking them to back it up with facts and hearing them mumble incoherently or even declaring the exact opposite of their original premise.
Francesa tomorrow: Dat cawl was a gift...yaw a charity case. Folk mizzes dat field goal and then brady getz da bawl on da forty and its Bink, Bink, Bink, Bink Touchdown!
Speaking of sad pathetic old bitter blowhards Guess which one said this in his weekly spot on the Michael Kay show...... "The Jets don't have a chance in the world of winning ANY of the next three games against the Patriots, Bengals or Saints!" Hint Ah wanna kees you Sent from my BNTV400 using Tapatalk
Fuck that Namath. I cant stand his drunken ass. Its embarrassing that this clown is still the only face of this franchise's history. I wish he would just go away for ever.
back to the fatso topic some guy just called in to boomer and carton and suggested that the 75 pound pig they have on board for the pig roast tonight at the Midgets game be named..... FRANCESA

No more commercials or barely any. Listening to WFAN in unlistenable between the commercials and 20/20 especially in the morning. I usually listen from 6:05-6:15. Today, they did not talk sports from 6:15-6:33 and then went to commercials again at 6:38. Horrible.
You're wasting your time with that. I've argued with the younger knuckleheads on this board for years about this. They have no idea what Namath means to this team, to the NFL, and to this city. You're best to just ignore them.
Whenever I hear Carton I can't help but think "This is what Beavis or Buttheaad would sound like if they had a sports talk radio show." I guess he'd be funny if your where a 13 year old boy?
Namath great player, we owe him everything for our Superbowl win awful post playing "career" - failed as an TV commentator, humiliated himself and the Jets for showing up drunk and stupid on National TV with Kolber embarrassed himself and the Jets again with his "ball position" nonsense in the rain on Hard Knocks and now embarrassing himself and the Jets again every week with his "I will talk on the radio for beer" spot with Michael Kay shilling for his stupid charcoal grills and I am far from a young guy. Loved him as a player but sadly he is now just an irrelevant bitter, pathetic old lush
I was traumatized when his pantyhose commercial was sandwiched in between my Saturday morning cartoons. j/k I'm a "younger" guy and still remember the talk of Namath and even the "big news" of him retiring. I was a kid and far too young to know what football was, but some things stand out in my mind. Not to get off topic too much but I just went back to an antenna and cut the cord on cable. And there are a shitload more channels than 13 that you think exists. Granted I have internet access and PlayOn and I am streaming a ton of shit to my TVs now for free/minimal cost instead of sucking on the pay-for teat. And the game was crystal clear yesterday - in full HD.:wink:
I was thinking of going to antenna because Netflix replaces cable but what about Internet access? can you keep that and get rid of TV cable? I heard HD is great on the antenna
I swore I would never get into this again on this board, but anyway - yea, you point out some of the down side he has had after football. You conveniently neglect all the times he correctly critized Jets management and ownership for their many mis-steps and screwups over the years, often when others would not speak out. And he has acted, AT THE TEAMS REQUEST, often as a position or procedural coach without actually being given that position. You want to criticize him, fine, but be fair at least. Joe Namath does not need to be defended from or by anyone, his body of work and legacy speak for themselves.
if i didnt get everything for like 14 bucks a month i would absolutely not have cable tv. between netflix, hulu and an antenna i would be perfectly happy. the only problem i would have would be college football. there are very few things that i enjoy more than college football and i would not be able to see many of the games i get to watch at this point. otherwise i can do everything else with an internet connection.
He just had the nerve to call the Vikings "hapless". Which team goes in tonight winless? Too hilarious
