NFT: WFAN confirms: Chris Christie on Francesa "short list"

DanMetroMan : 2/22/2017 3:37 pm
Will delete if people think this has to be political but I have to say.. um why? He's really a sports "expert" you want to listen to every day? That's the best they can come up with? David Lee Roth 2.0.

That's why it can't happen. 95% of the talk won't be about sports
I'd know if he was replacement

I'd not listen to Wfan in that slotted time..just like I never listen to M Kay show.

there's always other sports talk out there at that time if want to listen.

Yet I don't detect anywhere near the level of disgust with him. To me Christie will always be a man, out of his time, who would not falsely patronize his constituents on behalf of large financial interests in order to further his own financial or political interests. To me at that time this made him very unique as a man who stood against the fashion of time but with his constituents. I believe personally that some of the de-industrialization of the Midwest was fostered by, together with automation, Wall Street avoiding amortization costs that they would have incurred had they had to re-capitalize plant infrastructure instead of shipping the plants overseas. The supposed Washington allies of the unions betrayed them and worked with the Wall Street crowd to facilitate this. This IMHO is why we have Trump in the White House right now.

As for the bridge it wasn't right and I don't know what really happened. I personally suspect from his initial reaction to it that Christie didn't know much if anything about it. I don't live in Fort Lee or anywhere near there so I didn't have to put up with it, thank God. But I know the state or the country didn't have to pay anywhere near the cost of cleaning it up as did what it did cost to clean up some of the other things that were going on at the time.


While US Attorney he batted 1.000 with respect to public corruption cases. Something like 125 for 125 cases brought that resulted in either a plea or conviction. Camden and Newark (pre-Booker) never forgot.

And Overseer, lousy governor? Tale of two terms. I'll take the first term Governor Christie over every governor since Tom Kean. NOT the second term. Hubris coming back to haunt him?

Whats with the hate. Who cares if they r jets fans. They gave WAYY more time to the giants this yr. They r fair, AND at least they talk sports! Especially baseball. Boomers show can go an hr without sports except for the updates. N mike is just an old grumpy man now. Dunno y hes so popular, mayb he should thank mad dog. He gets on my nerves like crazy. N he takes a day off every other day. Which fucks me up, getting ready for bro n dork n I get stuck with crap most of the time. Some replacements r still good, its just I was looking forward to something n Once again, Mike takes off. N yyet he comes in when hes actually sick n u cant understand shit! Im not a mets fan either, n I still choose Joe n evan. I just like baseball talk in general. Hard to get now, gotta get sirius.
This would be the dumbest shit of all time

What a load of horseshit, sorry.
The jail thing has got to be a consideration,

But otherwise, I'd listen to Chris and Tiki.
Mike's show is great, and Christie could work as a successor. Let's look at the tape of hilarious factors that make Mike an entertaining listen, and could work for Governor FUPA:

Oblivious to the fact that the entire world hates him?
-Check.
Loves to spend hours taking calls and bloviating his unqualified opinion on material that has nothing to do with sports and his listening audience doesn't care about?
-Check.
Not a Jets fan, in violation of the usual requirement for getting a show at WFAN?
-Check.
Fat?
-Check.
Supported POTUS?
-Check.

Mike and Chris have quite a bit in common. Christie will have to refine his accent a bit nore to the point of incoherence to properly wear Mike's pants. Burping his diet coke into the mic a little wouldn't hurt either.

I hate that this stat is tracked with respect to prosecutors. What it leads to is under-prosecution. So many prosecutors wont bring charges unless they're a slam dunk (although under prosecution is better than over prosecution).

Also it's generally a cooked stat. What % of those were filed with a plea in place at the same time?

Note this isnt about CC -- I have no idea what the specifics of his cases were. Although I'd say that a US attorney sets direction and approves filings/pleas. I cant imagine he had time for much hands-on litigation.

He was talking last week about having meatload with Trump at the White House recently, so not completely out.

Apparently, the meatloaf is damn good at the White House.
