"no one cares about" (will likely go 8 pages long)
You are very concerned about people talking about Carton, who also don't like Carton. What's the difference between this and Ezekiel Elliot? I hate him too and there's 38 threads on him, many I've participated in.
"no one cares about" (will likely go 8 pages long)
Are these threads bothering you? This is the second time you've made this dickish comment. Which is odd since you clearly were interested enough to read through the first thread.
Or are you just trying to generate that "new poster" vibe? Sort of just throwing different personalities at the wall to see which one sticks?
But this is one of the biggest stories in sports, especially locally. It touches on theft, gambling, addiction, and sports; why wouldn't this be major news especially in the town that just dealt with this with the Mets?
You guys claim all these radio hosts are stupid (like Red Sox fans) but you Einsteins keep talking about them. I don't hear it just on Big Blue Interactive. Same old moaning and groaning about radio show hosts.
Please, continue. Just a weird obsession with radio show talk hosts (especially ones with no talent such like Craig Carton)
Eli is going to make his 200th CONSECUTIVE start and we are more concerned with what Carton is doing. This has more posts then an eli thread would.
People love it when you lose - They love dirty laundry.
Kick 'em when they're up. Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up. Kick 'em all around.
it really isn't hard to comprehend why this is news. I loathe Carton and think he sucks at his job, why can't I be interested in this story?
He's confusing not liking Carton (or some other sports media person) with not caring. Two different things.
I don't like Carton much at all, but spend a lot of time in my car and often listen to NY area sports radio, so I follow what's going on in local sports media, and this is certainly newsworthy and obviously a big topic of discussion the day the news breaks.
Forget the actual programming - the station now not only has to review Carton's contract and see how they will exit, but review any and every possible sponsorship / deal that the station may have been involved in via Carton.
Not to mention that your "creation/legacy" of Boomer and Carton just went up in flames and Boomer will probably ask out of radio shortly thereafter. Meanwhile you've lost all leverage with Francesa.
Neil Best is going to write about this for months.

If it's so bothersome, why keep creating new dupe handles to come back here?
Someone who brazenly lied to people about his gambling conquests, only to rack up millions in losses in secret, who tried to pull in his friends and steal from them - that's not a tragedy. That's an asshole that deserves to be locked up, and probably in a shithole much worse than a federal pen for white collar criminals.
I feel bad for his kids and maybe his wife if she didn't know. Â
That's about it. He has never had the personality type that would engender sympathy.
Even they weren't subject to a tragedy - just the selfishness of their spouse/father. If I go and piss away my family's life savings, that isn't tragic, it's fucking stupid and selfish.
If this were some nameless degenerate working class gambler who gambled away the rent money, would people be sympathetic to him?
Francesser's 'heavy dude' or 'the final authority' act is just so fucking tiresome.
I can imagine him holding court in some dumbass nightclub in a 'come kiss the ring' type of role. Its just sports for gods sake.
With Schmooze and Mad Dog you get some humor, some madness, good insight to boot on sports and the implied awareness that this is all non-serious stuff, sports and chatter, and therefore a sense of humanity and a touch of self depreciation that Francesser and Carton lacked maybe.
I am just one person but to me Schmooze carries a show by himself just fine and is a miles better entertainer than a fucking know it all bully like francesser
however, might be fresh as a daisy for the commuting 23-35 year old set, if you look at it, Mike and the Mad Dog ended in 2008, so newbies have never heard it.
plus he has an edge like carton had, but without the whole 'acting like an asshole' thing
Who are the most likely replacements? Just throwing some names out.
1) Brandon Tierney- used to love this guy but he has gotten in love with "hot takes" recently.
2) Mad Dog Russo- would be absolutely perfect with his energy in the morning. But he's locked into Sirius.
3) Evan Roberts- could be a good fit next to Boomer. You can let Joe B be solo in the midday or find him a new partner.
4) Phil Simms- I'm not sure if this is the best option. Could be really good for NFL season, but other sports? Do you really want to hear from Simms about the NBA/ Baseball/etc? He just seems a little too similar to Boomer.
5) Greg Giannotti- Already under the CBS umbrella. Could be a good match with Boomer.
No it wasn't.

The other thread didn't have this and I thought it deserved it's own thread, even though it was expected.

I just weep for all you poor souls who are forced to open threads and comment on them even if you don't care

What's the difference between that and your fucking whining about it? If anything, the fact that it bothers you is even worse.
Is it OK I post this? LMAO!

You're mixing up "no one cares" with "hates Carton on the same level as banned trolls on their tenth handle."
This is truly unreal

I feel badly for all involved
Boomer said this morning that they will "look for a permanent replacement... if that's where it takes us."
He's done, and particularly toast if there's any truth to insinuations that he pitched players who appeared on the show.
I feel badly for all involved
Someone young dying of cancer is tragic.

Hi, Nate.
Nimrod - how the hell are you?
Livin' the dream. Retired to Korea a while ago and am teaching English. Watching the Giants from afar.
How's things with you?

And doing a great job, both are very good together IMO and an improvement over the other format........

Been thru a lot last few yrs but came out the other side hopefully a better man. Good to see you again.
Boomer, Mad Dog, Phil plus the regulars would be a great AM show.
Schmooze should take Francessars spot. Schmooze is the best, tied with Mad Dog basically.
I always liked Mad Dog far better than Francesser, Francesser has no real humor, very little empathy or brother factor.
That's all we can ask, right? Just keep trying to get better. Good to see you, too. Go Giants!
Francesser's 'heavy dude' or 'the final authority' act is just so fucking tiresome.

Joe and Evan can be entertaining as well.

Weird. There's no lapse in programming.
Morning Show with Boomer and Simms
Joe & Evan
Mike
Russo has his Sirius and mlbtv shows already. Just seems odd.
1) Brandon Tierney- used to love this guy but he has gotten in love with "hot takes" recently.
2) Mad Dog Russo- would be absolutely perfect with his energy in the morning. But he's locked into Sirius.
3) Evan Roberts- could be a good fit next to Boomer. You can let Joe B be solo in the midday or find him a new partner.
4) Phil Simms- I'm not sure if this is the best option. Could be really good for NFL season, but other sports? Do you really want to hear from Simms about the NBA/ Baseball/etc? He just seems a little too similar to Boomer.
5) Greg Giannotti- Already under the CBS umbrella. Could be a good match with Boomer.
What do you guys think? Anyone else?
Plus he's a Jets fan.
