awesome job. Got to give him huge props for playing along with the joke. I searched the other day for it and couldn't find it. Wanted to post a clip from last week when he went on for about 20 minutes talking about his daughter loving Taylor Swift and getting her Taylor Swift cookies for her birthday...
everyone

HERES DA MINK MAN....
The Michael Kay chant is amazing

I saw a video interview Francesa did (Newsday I think?) and he looked pretty moved by the entire thing. Good job by him embracing this as i'd imagine it was hard for him to parse how much of this was genuinely in his honor vs. making fun of him.

Nope. I like a very vast array of music, from alternative rock, electronic, hardcore, deep house, techno, pop punk, jazz, and some hip hop. I'm confident enough in my taste to admit it when I find a pop song ridiculously catchy. The guitar chords in TGIF get me ever ytime, and the prechorus strings on Firework are very well written and well placed.

You know, it's not that crazy to enjoy good pop songs now and then - for example, who could hate Call Me Maybe?

Conversely, I never really liked or enjoyed Taylor Swift songs.
Francesa talking about it now

"It was the most amazing thing I've evah seen. It was almost inconceivable how loud da crowd was ok." - Mike Francesa
I totally hate "Call Me Maybe"  
Greg from LI : 1/26/2015 1:11 pm : link
And this "-Con" nonsense is getting ridiculous. A bunch of losers obsessing about Mike fucking Francesa?
that

might have been the most cringeworthy thing I've seen in a very very long time.

I seriously cringed.

yeah dude, we get it. I don't see how the fact that you hate something would come as a surprise to anyone.

Francesacon looked great, wish I could have gone with some friends. Like someone else said, it's basically just a bunch of people from a very specific subculture sharing inside jokes. It's FUN, there's not much more to it.
