NFT: Anyone listening to Franceser?

jnoble : 10/22/2018 3:29 pm
Apparently WFAN issued an apology to Jimmy D for CMB ripping him a couple months ago. Interesting it came so late after the fact
I'd like to know what you are referring to,

James Dolan and his band. Supposedly Maggie Gray ripped him a few months ago for the Weinstein issues. So Jimmy D went Jimmy D and is allowing no access for WFAN to anything Rangers, Knicks or MSG
But that's not the story.  
Mr. Bungle : 10/22/2018 3:34 pm : link
The story is that James Dolan has forbid ALL Knicks, Rangers, and MSG personnel from appearing on WFAN at all.
I just saw it in the Post  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 10/22/2018 3:34 pm : link
Dolan just can't resist being an awful human being.
Gotcha,  
Keith : 10/22/2018 3:35 pm : link
been discussed in the knicks thread. Dolan is a moron.
I believe CMB is the Cash Money Brothers

Is awful at her job. Her voice is annoying. Dolan should just ignore her since she’ll be gone soon enough
The boycott is not just WFAN  
aimrocky : 10/22/2018 3:38 pm : link
it's to all Entercomm stations.

Maggie Gray randomly apologized last week (the apology seemed to come unsolicited) and the Garden responded today that the apology was insincere, therefore they will no longer do business with Entercomm.

Her rant over the summer created national buzz. To me, it seemed a bit forced and scripted. It came right after CMB got bumped for Francesa, so it's possible the rant was used as a publicity stunt. Who knows, but Dolan's response is petty.

We had a BBI thread about it at the time. I took some guff for suggesting she came across as a little pompous and holier than thou
Francesar just said that  
Mr. Bungle : 10/22/2018 3:42 pm : link
the "Jagwahz" are exploring veteran QBs.

He repeatedly said he has no idear what this means about Eli Mannning. It may not have a thing to do with Eli. Not one iotar.

But the Jagwahz are looking into veteran QBs.
She's right  
NoPeanutz : 10/22/2018 3:44 pm : link
Dolan is disgusting and hypocritical. He's also a tyrant and an enabler. It's not clear whether he and MSG organization realize that her "vile piece of trash" accusation was (I assume) a metaphor.

I just don’t see why anyone can think that. Everyone complained about Beadles comments and how she had nothing to lose, well Maggie Gray did have something to lose and she took it to Dolan anyway.

Absolutely no use how anyone can have an issue with Grays stance. Dolan is despicable.

I honestly dont even know what she actually said about him. My stance is Dolan is a baby when he could just ignore her or not put his employees on her terrible show. Why stop the others from getting players on?

I just dont care for her. The only time I can listen to the radio is from 1-2 on lunch and I dont bother anymore. Those 3 are quite possibly 3 worst people they could’ve put together. I think I rather have chris christies fat ass instead of them

Maggie Gray  
Samiam : 10/22/2018 4:04 pm : link
She's one of the better people to listen to on the FAN or ESPN radio. Not that it's saying much, but she's much better than the guys with her or the other hosts on both stations.
Do player contracts typically give the team the right  
Mad Mike : 10/22/2018 4:06 pm : link
to control who players can speak with in the media? Maybe we can try to convince Marc Staal to test this "ban". Either Dolan looks silly for an unenforceable proclamation, or he stands firm and, well, that wouldn't be so bad. Ok, that's catty, but I would like to see a player defy Dolan just for the sake of it.
Mike threw Maggie under the bus.  
bceagle05 : 10/22/2018 4:09 pm : link
Of course, he gets enraged whenever Odell appears to throw a teammate under the bus. Dolan deserved every bit of what he got from Maggie Gray, and I'm not some big fan of hers. His Harvey Weinstein sob song in the wake of the Anucha Browne/Isiah issue was the height of hypocrisy. Mike has some curious allegiances, and seems to have real soft spot for trust fund babies who were born on third base and thought they had hit triples.
Mike thinks Jim Dolan is a nice guy because he's been nice to Mike  
arniefez : 10/22/2018 4:17 pm : link
and Mike's kids. I'm sure that's totally true. I'm sure Jim Dolan has treated Mike and his kids like the 1%ers they are. I'm sure Jim Dolan is quite charming to almost all of the 1%ers he comes in contact with. Especially if a 1%er can further his PR agenda like Mike.

It's the most Francesa thing ever that he thinks because Dolan has treated him well and given him special favors to make him look important in front of his kids that Dolan treats everyone like that.

Francesa said only he and Boomer have ever met Dolan and the other hosts don't even know him.

I know him. I've met him. I've done business with his companies and his inner circle in one of those businesses. Believe me me he's as small and vindictive and vile as his deposition in the Brown case.

Mike blamed this "escalated war on WFAN on Dolan's PR people giving him bad advice. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those PR people wouldn't dare put out a statement that Dolan didn't dictate to them.

Dolan won't rest until he runs Maggie Gray out of town because he told the truth about about him and he will only a matter of time. She's dead woman walking now.
She told the truth  
arniefez : 10/22/2018 4:18 pm : link
not he.
I don't listen to CMB  
arniefez : 10/22/2018 4:26 pm : link
I think Maggie does a good job but I can't listen to the other two. She can't overcome them. But this is awesome:

“You are a vile piece of trash,” Gray said about the 63-year-old Dolan on the show she hosts with Chris Carlin and Bart Scott. “You let Isiah Thomas call this woman [Anucha Browne Sanders] the b-word so many times she sued your ass, and she won! And then what did you do? In 2015, you brought Isiah Thomas back into the building to run the Liberty of the WNBA. You are a human embodiment of an online troll. People on Twitter couldn’t even come up with something that stupid …

“I might never get back into The Garden, even with a press pass, after this, and I don’t give a crap. I’d rather not step into that building that’s owned by this hypocrite and this disgusting, disgusting human. Yeah, you should have known. You did know. I forgot for 30 seconds just how embarrassing James Dolan is. Never again. Take your stupid song and everything you stand for, and shove it up your colossal rear end. I’m done with the Knicks.”

He is absolutely destroying Odell right now. Wowzers.
Thanks for posting  
UConn4523 : 10/22/2018 4:30 pm : link
and to my point earlier I don’t know how anyone can listen/read what she said, and then say she was out of line, pompous, etc. She stood up to a behemoth that day and did so when many others wouldn’t. She may eventually lose her job and felt it was worth the risk.

How can you not applaud that?

It’s hilarious. Something must have happened behind closed doors because he’s so much angrier today than he normally is.
Yeah, tough times for Mikey.  
bceagle05 : 10/22/2018 4:41 pm : link
He even admitted that his show and his app may not be compatible. Dolan's turning his back on him, Sam Darnold played like garbage yesterday, the Sawx are gonna win another World Series after he talked all that shit, his football picks have been worse than usual this year, his WFAN colleagues all hate his guts - should've stayed retired.

I don't think it's that. He was actually talking about that before and chuckled a bit while talking about it. If he lost money on it, he wouldn't be able to joke about it.

I think the whole brouhaha about Dolan not letting anyone on WFAN is irritating him. He kind of implied at the beginning that he was in a "beeyad mood" because of it.

And yet, here we are, talking about him, and about his sports takes. Which is what he missed when he retired and what he wanted when he came back. He wanted to be Mike Francesa again, and not that guy, what's his name, who used to be somebody. He wins.

I used to be a tech for Cablevision (now Altice after Dolan sold the farm) and back in 2012 the rumor was that Dolan and his goon squad were going to show up at all the depots to walk around and see how things were going. I laughed at how my supervisor at the time was in a near panic about moving some things around our room, taking the posters off the wall, relocating a cabinet,cleaning the room up like the Queen of England was coming.
He never did show up after all that lol

Any thread about James Dolan is incomplete without the wikipedia page for his incredibly shitty band.

If you want to kill a few minutes check his band out on youtube. Fucking hilarious.
