OT: If you have the ability turn on Mike Francesca ASAP

[JeremyCuse]

He is in a shouting match with an investigative reporter from the Daily news over Arod it is absolutely hilarious.

All I know is this is great radio.

 

[Lawrinson14]

is it better than Carton berating the Penn State grad after she stood up for Joe Paterno and the big wigs at Penn State?

 

[KaiserUEO]

that was classic.

i came in around 130 and caught the rest.

every show that is on 660, is vastly different from each other.

is it just me, or does sports talk radio seem to be a BOOMING market.

in the age of 80inch hdtv screens for $300, it just seems odd to me.

but i love it.

im honestly having trouble deciphering the tone? are you being a douche bag? if so, why?

i didnt mean anything. just pointing out that talk radio does seem to be thriving and its because of the 9-5ers of the world.

 

[tbonezone]

is it just me or does mike francesca always look and sound horribly constipated? no wonder the mad dog ran off.

Whatever, but that's nothing new. People have been listening in their cars forever, but the format and the following has just gotten larger, much even.

CBS, has a radio channel. ESPN has a radio channel. Radio shows are all over tv now. Everybody has these super tvs and tv channels just drop a camera in a radio booth and leave it on for 4 or however hours and it eats up ratings.

Crazy.

I think music has gotten so bad that more people have turned to talk radio.

OMG! That's it! But I thought I would sound like a typical geezer if I would have said the same thing. Please tell me you're not over 50!

I am 42. And I probably sound like a geezer, but I can't stand top 40 radio and the rest is getting boring.

Nah, Ratings for these shows are awful.

Check Dan Patrick's ratings on NBCSN or Cowherd on ESPNU

What they are is cheap to produce...that's about it.

Genius.

 

[orange79]

Please tell me that guy didn't go to college. Or high school.

 

[Alsacs]

This is a funny parody that somebody did of Mike Francesca if he were around in 1776. Its spot on.

 

[Alsacs]

Here is the clip if anybody wants to watch this amazing 40 minutes of radio.

Patrick and cowherd should have lousy ratings.

I guess I was thinking a little more local MSG, YES, nesn etc...but the fact that those 2 even get ratings is nuts.

Listening to Francesa watch the NCAA tourney or a golf major is fascinating too btw.

If the founding fathers had any clue about technology and what is now available, I'm guessing there would be about ten to fifteen more amendments in the Bill of Rights. MINIMUM. No I can't begin to think of what they might be but certain "limits" might have been imposed.Tomm and John did a great job regardless.

I'm 29 and most current music is trash.

 

[Todd Gack]

I'm 29 and most current music is trash.

What's your benchmark?

There's a lot of great recent music out there -- not on the radio, necessarily, but none of the "jams" I was listening to in high school (mid-90s) stood the test of time either.

Agreed. I miss being able to listen to that.

You mean you don't like listening to guttural screams and one-chord songs?
