The end of a yuuuuge era. My favorite time was in 1994 when the Rangers and Knicks were both in the playoffs. Every day's show was yuuuuge.
Hope he comes back next year somewhere.

"UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Backaftathis."- Mike Francesa
mike will always be one of the best fades in sports.
this year alone, said the giants would win the nfc east, The giants would never fire a coach mid season, said Jose altuve was not a great player..
Guy really hung up on a caller because he called him Michael and not Mike

His interactions with callers made the show. I could listen to him be a dick to people all day.
Recently a caller named Mike got in an argument with him. And by argument I mean the caller got halfway through what he was saying before Francesca cut him off and told him he was wrong.
Anyway, there was about 15-30 seconds where the only word uttered was "MIKE!" as the 2 of them tried to talk over each other.

mike from Montclair was a valuable contributor whenever I heard him.. some great incompetence on that show... Francesa was a great fade.

I called into the show back when the Lakers played in the Bulls in the finals. I was told I didn't know what I was talking about by Mad Dog when I came up with a trade between the Knicks and the Clippers where Mark Jackson would go for Charles Smith. It happened two months later. lol

Only listened to Fran a few times so can't add much but does anyone know if that chick still does radio. She loves telling people they're wrong always sounds very happy when she's talking seems kinda fake. Can't remember her name.

I didn't know he was fade-worthy.
Too much knowledge can be a bad thing. Especially if the originator has an inflated view of his intelligence.

Nah, he's doing a podcast. Just could talk about it because of the non compete clause in his contract

Chucky, the guy made landers and Macaroni look like John Anthony.
Said Trump had 0% chance to be president and that was one of his closer predictions

How many podcasts make money? It's too much work for people to find. There's too many other options.
