Fran is a blowhard jerk, everytime I realize that I’m listening to him, I get mad at myself. All he talks about is stupid horse racing. He immediately writes callers off who are audibly nervous, and often time hangs up on them. He says the same garbage 3 times when making a point. He has the most boring interviews, never asks a hard hitting question. And he skewers the Jets and Mets like it’s his mission in life.

I find myself only listening to him, when my 1050 doesn’t come in clear, which is about half the time. It blows my mind that ESPN in the Tri-State area, can’t purchase a better radio signal, I live 30miles from NYC and half of the time, get fuzz for 1050, but I’ve carried 660 all the way out to Ohio on a car trip before.

That said, why would I pay to read the story of a man whose life is like an open book anyway? This kind of biography sells well when you think there are hidden things to learn about a person. Nothing is hidden with Rex.

Of course Joe Torre and Jeter could be caught drowning puppies in the Hudson River and Mike would probably defend them on his show.

Although I’m a Giant fan and don’t particularly find Rex entertaining, Francesa has taken it wayyyy too far and is being a bit of a woman about the situation.

Then something happened to him. It appeared that he changed into a bitter, condescending jerk overnight!

Maybe he was just jealous of all the attention Mad Dog was getting? Whatever the reason was for his change, he instantly switched me from a listener to an avoid-er.

WFAN would be wise to sent him straight or show him the door.

My two favorite quotes from Francesa: “Bill (Parcells) is like my brother.” Yeah, how did that workout? And in the late 1990s after the Jets had played a 4-3 defense most of the previous season because of injuries, he insisted on-air to a season ticket holder “Bill never plays a 4-3.”

There is a reason Francesa is getting all of the hate, as well as all of the reads/web hits he gets. there is a reason he has had a long and very successful career in New York.

It is simple. People hate people who appear to have the same tendencies they “dislike” about themselves, but they are also gravitated to them for they are very much like them in a sick and sad way.

I would say over 68.5% of New Yorkers have the same sinical, negative, the world is ending, life sucks, attitude that Fransesca portrays in his writing.

This is why he is so popular. He is a voice of the people, by the people, and for the people of New York.

Yah.. I hate cha. But I can not wait for your next column cause you are just like what I hate about me…. It makes me feel like I am Ok for the way I am.

The same guy who, hates, bitches and bashes Fransesca is the same guy who is working in a freaking union down at the convention center bitching about the union he works for, his wife, his kid, his neighbor, the traffic, and every thing else in his life.

You would never see this disdain for a writer in Green Bay. Because the people of Green Bay are a community. New York City is the sewer of humanity.

I can honestly say that after listening to the show at least 2-3 times per week before Russo left, I haven’t listened to Francesa solo in over a year.

And I don’t miss it.

Instead of boasting he could have beat the Packers perhaps he should have did it when they played in NEW YORK for gods sake with half of the Packers on IR.

Maybe he should give up having guys play footsie with his wife and concentrate on coaching the Yet’s as in they haven’t win Yet!!

I just have one thing that is really starting to annoy me about Mike Francesa……

Have you ever really listened to what he says. He can never get a point across without repeating his point at least 3 times back to back to back…….

Mike I get it the first time. Please stop this really annoying habit you have developed….

Seriously all …….. Take a Listen……..

No one outside of NY has any clue who this is anyway.

I can just hear Rex Ryan spouting off that he’s got the best book in the country, that HIS book is going to be Number One on the Times bestseller list, that his book is gonna CRUSH all the other books ……..

Been there, heard that. STFU Rex.
