For a guy "who do not listen to Mike" you confidently seem to justify talking about him a bunch here on this thread and know a whole lot of what he has to say.
Did he hurt you or something? Why dont you call him up and tell him how much he stinks? You sound like you are 14.

You guessed it, I'm 14.
Why wouldn't I be confident in talking about him? It's not like I've never listened to him - but like any sane, intelligent human, I realized that he's just another talking head that likes the sound of his own voice. I consider it a PSA to remind people that he's an idiot in case there are some who still consider him in any way credible.
In any case, since I expect you'll be gone soon, happy trails.

I take it you chose 14 because it’s divisible by 2...?
Eli canceled his show with Mike after the draft and the Giants made the Jones pick
Quote:
Less than 24 hours after the Giants drafted Eli Manning's eventual successor, Mike Francesa made a dramatic, on-air announcement that the Giants quarterback would no longer be doing his weekly radio spot on his WFAN show. Those two things, he said, were directly related - a sign of Manning's unhappiness about what the Giants just did.
But that doesn't appear to be the case at all.
The Giants actually told WFAN weeks ago that Manning was no longer interested in doing his weekly appearance, according to a source familiar with the situation, and it apparently had nothing to do with the Giants' draft plans. He has been doing a weekly radio appearance for his entire 15-year career, and simply wasn't interested in doing it anymore.
Wanna keep going? I promise you, you're out of your depth here.
Ok, I know this routine. When dealing with people like you, pause and play it through.
First thing. Ralph Vacchiano is scum. You sending me his words is a joke right there and then.
"Source familiar with the situation" literally means nothing to me. Sorry, I don't quote garbage ass journalism with vague bullshit like "sources" when a source wasn't mentioned. Quit being a joke and name your source.
What producing physical evidence do you have that would make have in waiting weeks to announce Eli would not be coming on after the show? If that makes me a bitch, okay. Don't get on my bad side and choose wisely.
I'm just trying to figure out why Mike would wait and tell. Wouldn't it be Mike's interest to say it right away saying how he has contacts? Could it be that SNY and those idiots are motivated by public affairs? You tell me, GD.

francessa crossed the line with the giants a long time ago... Â
this is just the latest installment. In life repercussions for bad behavior generally escalate. Now the QB's(note daniel jones won't go on with fatso either, way too burn bridges long term idiot), the HC and the GM won't go on air with him.
There was a time, not too long ago, when Mike and the Mad Dog were must listen talk radio for a NY fan in multiple sports. It's sad to see the degeneration into a caricature the show has become. No one has a problem with hard questions. Shurmur didn't. Until his 'host' denied him a fair hearing by stifling his replies with bombastic ranting. At one point he calmly asked to be given an opportunity to respond. And somewhat shockingly to me still wasn't. That was going too far. As he did by calling DG a liar for playing his franchise plans(which noone outside the organization has a right to) close to the vest.
Unfortunately it mirrors the state of journalism in general. Get it right has become get it first and accuracy be damned. A mindset to report the facts replaced by a self serving hyperbolic narrative. As a a consumer I don't trust anyone in the media today. I seek out unfiltered data and frame my world view accordingly.
Mike had no reason to announce it when he was notified before the draft - Eli's spots were in the fall, so he had plenty of time to announce it when he chose to. Obviously, losing a high profile regular guest like Eli is not a good look for Mike, so as soon as he saw the chance to link it with a scenario that he was already annoyed made him look bad (that he was out of the loop with the Giants' draft intentions), he jumped on it to reinforce how much the Giants had screwed Eli with their choice of DJ. Francesa is nothing if not opportunistic.
Don't want to believe me? How about Mike himself?
Quote:
That was backed up by the Giants - I was told that by Mark Chernoff last Monday("last Monday" in this quote is referring to April 22, three days before the draft), and I went up with it before the draft, which infuriated the Giants. ... It has everything to do with Eli did not know if he was confident enough he was going to finish the season, and he thought it would be embarrassing to have to answer questions about the quarterback every week while being the backup quarterback at the end of his career. He did not want to be put in that position."
I stand by my point that his listeners are clueless enough to give him any credibility, and I thank you for proving my point. I hope that didn't land me on your bad side, internet tough guy.
I know you've been trying really hard for the last five years at work, but you're just not doing as well as your other co-workers.
So instead of asking you what is going on, or suggesting ways to improve and then observe your reaction, I'm just going to call you a loser to your face.
Loser.
Yes, that is exactly how the real world works. And if I'm deficient in certain areas because of the action (or lack of action) by my co-workers, then I make that known.
Listen, I think sports interviews are stupid to begin with but the constant banal dribble spurted out by this organization got old years ago.
Francesca, incidentally, hammered the Giants for their decision to draft Jones, calling them a "joke" and saying "The Giants, in a word folks, have become sad - a sad, chronic, losing organization." He also tweeted that the Giants "sold everybody a bunch of garbage" by claiming they were interested in winning, and then drafting Jones, and that it "proved that the Giants are completely lost."
"Hard to say," Francesa also tweeted, "the Giants have become a total joke."
Can you please list for us the sports franchises that publicly embrace a disinterest in winning? Francessa is so upset by this it must be a common credo. No? What a joke.
RE: GD I dont understand why you so mad though lol Â
You are proof that you are being manipulated through ways of the other side who dont like mike. Keep running that joke game though.
Oooh, that joke game. You got me good!
I'm sorry that your life is whatever it must be that repeatedly creating new handles to troll a fucking message board appears to be something from which you derive enjoyment.

...is therefore a troll? How haughty can you be? Cute. I got you.
Sounds a wee-bit childish on your end. Today must be your first day outside of YOUR echo-chamber doors where anyone who dares to against the mighty GD, you then call names. Over a glorified game of catch lol. Keep that same energy though, man.

So if there is any statistical data that includes a 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9, would that constitute getting on your bad side?
