Is there anyone who is more full of himself then Francesa. I can understand him taking issue. And, DiPietro let's be real here is living the life of Riley however, can Mike for once in his life show a little humility and take a different tact once in awhile. Yeah he's been around but he sure likes to let everyone know I'm the Babe Ruth of talk radio. Not to mention how often he gets things wrong.
Almost as brutal as the whipping Brian boyle

Is Rangers talk on the show?
Is dipietro alive?

Can someone check on him?

Mike just murdered him.

Seriously how can you hate on mike that's fantastic radio.
DiPietro's another Craig Carton in the making

The only thing Mike missed was bringing Mink into it. Outside of Don Legreca, I can't stand anyone on ESPN in that 1-7 block.
DiPietro is awful on the radio.

Long live Da Pope.
This is a story?

A pompous, unintelligible, self-absorbed narcoleptic fatass who's light years beyond his expiration date takes on a washed-up never-was (and I'm an Islanders fan), and this is...news? It's a radio slap fight between the the rough equivalent of Kim Kardashian against Paris Hilton.

I've listened to Mike for years  
bceagle05 : 5/4/2016 10:12 am : link
and have defended him at times on here, but in recent years he's been absolutely brutal. His refusal to hold his buddy Jim Dolan accountable in any way for the disaster that is the New York Knicks was the breaking point for me. He completely sold out just so he and his wife can get good seats to concerts at the Garden or Radio City.
Im a DiPietro fan  
gmen9892 : 5/4/2016 10:39 am : link
And I listen to Hahn and Humpty when Mike isn't on. I also dont love anyone else on ESPN, save for Rothenberg who I will tune into from time to time being a Mets and Giants fan. Rick took a beating from Mike, lets see how he handles it going forward.

It's not a "story." It's something that Francesar said on his show, and there are many people who listen to his show and are interested in when he gets defensive. Not really much more than that.

Perhaps, but the real reason Francesser took shots at him is that he is on ESPN radio and not WFAN. Has he ever taken a shot at Carton?
That was great.

DiPietro is absolutely terrible on the radio. He deserves to be called out for it.

He's talked shit about both Boomer and Carton many times in the past, yes.

More like he's responded to Carton than anything else. There's a long grudge there.

That may be the best description of Francesa in the history of descriptions of Francesa.

However, he straight prison raped Rick yesterday and it was funny. Interested to see if DP retaliates today. I suspect he'll tuck tail and run.
Francessa  
Metnut : 5/4/2016 11:44 am : link
seems upset that DP is young and wealthy and looks to be enjoying life. Despite all of his success, Francessa always appears to be unhappy and is quick to pounce if he hears someone said something that isn't positive about him. He almost seems paranoid to me.

Pretty sad that Francessa has ended up this way.

Doubt he's jealous of DP as he spent less than 3 min calling out the punk.
I think Francesa is  
B in ALB : 5/4/2016 11:54 am : link
more than happy with how his life turned out. Dude makes a ton of money to say whatever he wants, goes to any sporting event he wants, slays fools on the radio when he wants, gambles to his heart's content, uses his snowblower any time he wants, and....


he has the Mink Man.
Lmao B

Did I miss something?

Is Michael Kay still on the air? Goes to show you how irrelevant ESPN radio is.

You'd think so but his behavior suggests otherwise. He always seems very paranoid about any negative commentary about him, he's fallen asleep on the job, just not signs of someone who's really happy. If a person can't be happy with what he has, then he maybe is just a miserable SOB?

Meanwhile, DP just seems happier, treats people with respect, etc. He'll probably always feel bad about his body breaking down, but what can you do? It looks to me like he's definitely enjoying being on talk radio and covering the Isles in the Eastern semis with them being the only team in NY still in the playoffs (NBA or NHL). I'm sure he was chuckling when Francessa went on that really odd rant yesterday.
Just my opinion though

I don't proclaim to have any first-hand knowledge on Francessa's inner-psyche
You ever notice  
blueblood'11 : 5/4/2016 1:54 pm : link
when Mike takes a breath after he greets his callers he sounds like he's grunting out a turd. I've always wanted to call in and ask hey Mike you taking a shit or what. Hey Mink, give him a roll.

Hilarious. I always notice this. Like a subtle dump grunt.

Radio is entertainment. That is all this is about. And when Mike goes in on someone, it is going to make news. Mike knows this better than anyone. He doesn't do it often. But when he does, it's calculating. You have to treat the business for what it is.

Did DP think he was just going to get away with what he said without any sort of response?

People had to know DP even did radio to hear what he said. Based on the current radio book, not many people know he has a show to begin with.

I almost fell off my chair after reading your post. That was too funny.

It's Alberto Albuquerque. Everyone knows that.
