Or the Replacements?

Either way, just like every other year it'll be the shrill, horrible noise of an entire band being picked up by one completely-overloaded microphone.

Combine that with the fact that Steve Somers' mic constantly feeds back during his show, and it makes you wonder if the idiots at WFAN even know what a sound engineer is.
they're doing that Southside Johnny thing again?

Seriously?
I turned on 660 AM...

and thought I was listening to FM (well, bad FM).

Do they really think doing this is better than actually trying to talk sports on a sports talk show?
No, no SSJ (unfortunately) & last year it was The Smithereens

This year it's Big Shot A Billy Joel cover band he's had on his Christmas shows. TV coverage is a joke FOX moved it to FS2 for Nascar. I have Cablevision & we don't get FS2 in HD. Plus, Big Shot was in the middle of a song when FS2 went to Mike & Calipari. He made a really stupid move signing w/them looking for national exposure!
Won't even see him take the ALS challenge on TV

as FS2 has him on from 1-5 then has a UFC weigh-in. FS1 has normal programming on at 5. Trying to watch him has become a joke on FOXSports!
Yesterday, mike mentioned he's going to deal with the fox joke

next month. What that entails, should be interesting because da sports pope has his throne rattled about it.

It's one day during the summer, chill out
Yeah I always kind of like the Bar A show

although there's certainly plenty of material to mock ie: sound issues, like there usually is regarding Mike Francesa.

The tv thing is a joke, but it's his fault. He obviously didn't understand all the possible ramifications of what going on FS1 and FS2 would entail. Between YES, SNY, and MSG, I'd imagine he could've worked something out locally that wouldn't have caused all this nonsense.
a few yrs ago i was at the shore

i went to this by accident. pretty much what youd expect. Semi drunk guys in their 40s fighting over free WFAN tshirts thrown into the crowd. we ate in the other room and left.
