Classic

 

[texascpa]

lol, Jason should have asked him about Chris Ash.

 

[oldpinepoint]

How is he still on the air?

 

[care taker]

I hate that !! He is a rude piece of ....
Such a d—- !! To callers !!

 

[Stern]

and just think for $8.99 a month you can get more great insight like this with his app.

Oh and he hosts a college football show each week with John Jastermski (who graduated from Syracuse and is a die-hard SU homer)

 

[sutomcat]

At least he stayed awake in this instance.

 

[kingtidge]

He really has no business trying to comment on college 'ball. He's shown time and time again, he doesn't even have a rudimentary understanding of the CFB landscape.

You beat me to it, Tomcat!

Give him a break. It’s not like Syracuse plays 4 hours from his studio

 

[bigmike]

Next year (or hopefully at the end of this season ) I suspect he'll be crowing about how he knew all along Dino was gonna turn this thing around, and how the Orange are for real.

 

[SmilinBob]

Or any real college football team is 4 hours or more from his studio. It's ok, he didn't know.

Successfully propagating the stereotype of the arrogant New York City guy that doesn't think anything exists outside of the city.

 

[Finwad32]

The ridiculous part is, aside from not knowing a P5 HC in your back yard, he's crowed about Dino before. Sometimes I feel like, he's either oblivious or plays to whatever he's feeling at the time.

Regardless, I couldn’t care less about his opinion.

 

[Newhouser]

He's done - he will quit again especially if reports on the ratings are true and he may lose to Michael Kay.

 

[Stern]

He really has no business trying to comment on college 'ball. He's shown time and time again, he doesn't even have a rudimentary understanding of the CFB landscape.

He always talks about how he and Don McPherson got into a verbal yelling match once because he voted for Tim Brown in 87 for the Heisman. Mike does say in hindsight it was a mistake and he should have voted for McPherson.

 

[P Vasiloff]

Sounds like somebody at the studio should check the actual contents in his Diet Coke lol

 

[longislandcuse]

Caller: Hey Mike, as a sports talk show host, can you comment on the P5 ACC Head Coach 4 hours from your studio that has a nationally televised primetime game this weekend?

Mike:

 

[orangepassion]

It's not his fault. He didn't know. He probably didn't know about the kumbaya meetings, either.

 

[Franz69]

The caller was Jason from Syracuse. Bit of a hint there. Dino Babers, Syracuse, anyone home Mike?

The reverse could also be true. We all live in a Syracuse bubble and it's an inconvenient truth that outside of that bubble no one cares or has reason to care.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Wow, what an ignorant clown.

 

[sufandu]

I don't. I live 1,000 miles away. A person that gets paid to talk about sports should be more familiar with sports. National sports figures with a responsibility to know a wider variety know more than he does about the only P5 college football team in his own state.

 

[RandomGuy]

Who is Mike Francesca? Is he some made up, or imaginary radio host? I don't know who you are taking about.
