Francesa doesnt understand why Kay would inform the fans attending the Belmont there will be a 2 hour wait for the train after the last race.

Who is Mike Francesa and why does he oppose honesty and showing respect for your customers?

Did he play football without a helmet?
Sounds like a real jerk to me.

Francesa is the worst sports talk radio guy in NY. But he's being doing it for 25 years, he used to have a partner and it was a MUCH better show. Now it's just him talking and getting annoyed at every other caller that calls his show. Pretty much un-listenable. But because he's being doing it forever, he does get great guests. Still IMO he's the pits. Michale Kay show much better.

Mike on his own, especially over the last couple yrs, has been a complete bore who truly acts like he has no interest in being there. The simulcast debacle with Fox Sports has made him even more miserable.. :ThmbDown:

I was pretty sure Chris Russo never had seen most of the sports he talked about. He just yelled a lot.

He is better without Russo by his side. I see him every summer at Saratoga he is a huge race fan and has Brad Thomas as well as trainers, jockeys and owners on his show a lot. Very good when he is on, but recently he got a bit crabby I'm sure retirement is right around the corner.

Baffert is supposed to be on at 3 Zayat at 4 today. Also bailey at some time and Brad Thomas. He's doing his show from Belmont today.

He is crabby but at least he probably watches the games he is talking about. The other guy is a baseball announcer who proudly says he watches every Yankee game whether he announces it or not. The chances of him watching other sports when baseball is on is slim. Who would you rather talk or listen a guy who fakes it or a crab?

My friend is an avid listener and he says Francesa always has Brad Thomas on before all the major races that are televised.

He used to and still might own a broodmare or two. Think he was partners with Parcells but wouldn't bet the bank on it.

WOW , that POS is still on the air back there.
Rather listen to the national shows( DAN PATRICK, and JAY MOHR is the Best) than windbag francessa,
and russo carried that show in the early 90's and was
more entertaining alone, although Jody Mac was better than both.

I enjoy me some Mike Francesa. Hes a lot better than Michael kay. The only thing Michael Kay does well is announce baseball games. Everything else, not so much :D
