WFAN is horrible

Gmen in 2012 : 10/20/2014 7:19 am
Giants flag ship station I turn these two idiots on figuring their would be some giants talk for a change and it's been nothing but this jet garbage. percy harvin. The jets didn't play yesterday . They have an entire 2 weeks to talk about this team and the mediocre player they just traded for while the giants are on a bye. Why can't today be a day just for the Giants, tJoe and Evan will come on then Francesa an it still will be all Jet talk, fucking ridiculous now.
Honestly, what do you want to hear....

Need to do something about it. If the current staff is going to cultivate the Mets and Jet fan base then they should be let go. Giants Yankees pay the salaries they should get their money's worth. I'm talking about the flunkies like Benito Roberts malosis,Steve,and get rid of the met announcers. It's New York they can't get better guys than this?
rangers get

More media than giants....
I see paper coverage...but talk show/radio
not much
just listen to big blue kickoff live

Its an hour of mostly quality giants discussion every day.


Agree 100% with zebra

Might be nice if they hired someone who didn't use the word "bro" in every sentence. Toss a brah a break dude.
Agreed 2012

And the amount of cowboy fans that call in are sicking.

The same week long shows the Jets get after a loss, it doesn't matter if the giants win a huge game or lose like they have the last 2 weeks.,come Monday it will still be all jets talk....have some giants beat writers on. I hardly hear P-Dot on here. I think he only comes on Saturday mornings with Richard Neer.. Wfan has been on at work since 6:30 and I've yet to hear any giants talk,
Listen to Dave

Rothenberg. Unabashed Giants homer. I like him a lot. I used to like Robin Lundberg. He's not a homer for any sports team. But that guy is too obsessed with the NBA. It'd be NBA hot stove 365 days a year if he had his way.
but yet..

you are listening. It's all about ratings. If those guys don't get ratings to sell to advertisers, they get replaced. The Giants and Yankees are paid very well by WFAN to broadcast the games, which is what they care about. If you want Giants related content, they stream it on Giants.com. Or you come to BBI.

I gave up long ago with WFAN following my sports teams. When they first started in 1987, and there was no internet, that was one of the few sources of information that I could get on my teams at any given time up through the Giants championship run in 1990. Back then, on Mike and the Mad Dog, the format was the same. Mad Dog would taunt the Giants fans, Mike (as a friend of Parcells) would defend them. And it made for great radio.

However, you can get all the Giants or Yankees news you want online or any other variety of sources. You also have to remember, WFAN was the Mets home for 20+ years, so that is buried in the DNA of the hosts to discuss them. And the Jets sole existence is for media and radio fodder during the week because they are a circus and they suck. The Giants are "boring", pretty much always have been, that's the way the organization is run. They don't go for the flashy names or big controversies. The Jets seek that crap out. That's Woody Johnson. It is what it is.
All day long

they will have nothing else to talk about but us. Jets played last wk, Harvin story is old news. Other sports mostly at a lull and no new sports/news controversies. Maybe a little Rangers but its ver early. Wanna hear 8 hrs of Giants bashing starting at 10 ? The FAN is your friend.
The only time WFAN is any good  
smshmth8690 : 10/20/2014 8:18 am : link
is Friday mornings from 11:00AM til Noon. Carl Banks is great on the radio.
wfan is filled  
PaulBlakeTSU : 10/20/2014 8:57 am : link
with a bunch of yapping morons who don't understand what they are watching. Boomer played the game at a high level, but has degraded himself to being a jackass for ratings. The rest are all there to sound like passionate idiots because it returns callers.

What could you possibly hope to hear from a guy like Joe Beningo about the Giants that will give you any pleasure in terms of football analysis? His football analysis consists of "look bro."

We live in the age of the internet where there are podcasts on any subject you want. Find a Giants one, or just listen to general NFL ones.

Bob Papa in the morning on 88 NFL channel. It was mostly Giants talk this morning, even taking calls from Giants fans. It's worth every penny
Send your complaints...  
HaddamGiant : 10/20/2014 9:07 am : link
...to wfan's program director Mark Chernoff... Also ask him why WFAN doesn't have any hosts who are Giant fans...
Which 2 idiots? You have to be more specific.  
Victor in CT : 10/20/2014 9:32 am : link
There are many idiots on FAN
Sad

I've loved WFAN for many years but its current state is terrible outside of Francesa. Boomer and Carton are awful. They are not diehard sports fans. Carton routinely gets facts wrong and simply cannot talk sports at a high level. Boomer has become a cartoon character. Joe and Evan's show isn't any good. When Mikey retires that station is going down the toilet.
Joe and evan are doing a spot on critique of the game right now

But i'm sure most of you whiny cry baby fucks have tuned out already.

Agree and I like them. Francesca is not bad either when he's not full of himself. Boomer and Carton are a joke and a bad one at that.

Agree
So you want to hear people talk about how shitty the game was?  
Crispino : 10/20/2014 1:05 pm : link
You want to hear the douchebags pile on about the team after a loss? Not me. I avoid all of that after losses. After wins, I like to hear the good stuff, but that's it.
Agree with giants4246  
gmenatlarge : 10/20/2014 1:07 pm : link
Joe and evan are good and always give the giants their props (especially Joe). Francesa can be OK but is too full of himself to listen for any length of time, Carton is the most unfunny jackass i have ever heard on the radio and unfortunately boomer has fallen in with him!
