At the beginning, I thought this was going to be a paean to these guys.<BR/><BR/>I was a bartender at the Play-by-Play at MSG back in the early '90s, when Francesa did a live talk show from the bar. We all thought he was a total ass, but boy did the customers kiss up to him.<BR/><BR/>I had literally forgotten about him completely--the only sportscasters from the Garden we liked were Al Trautwig and Bruce Beck, who were genuinely lovely people, and I'm always happy to run across them from time to time--until the news broke this past week. I'd like to say I'll enjoy seeing Francesa sink and fall but in perfect honesty I'll stop thinking about him again as soon as I click "Publish Your Comment."Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288100796201737845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-69886700892199809352008-08-15T17:21:00.000-04:002008-08-15T17:21:00.000-04:00Those two are a New York thing all the way, blowha...Those two are a New York thing all the way, blowhards made famous by the same people who gave us Rudy Guiliani.

I stopped listening on anyday but the Monday after football sundays. Russo is awful on his own, Mike can be good at times but his arrogance can be boring. <BR/><BR/>The rumor started in June that the partnership was in trouble and Russo had obviously treated the other personalities on the station with disdain bordering on hatred, this day was coming.Ted Kerwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506027632570080559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-63209789957387769542008-08-15T11:31:00.000-04:002008-08-15T11:31:00.000-04:00I don't know how anyone can listen to Mad Dog for ...I don't know how anyone can listen to Mad Dog for more than 20 secs. His voice makes me want to break things.
