WFAN, The Personalities, The Callers and The Insanity

Posted on February 27, 2009 at 06:00 PM.

I'm going to keep this blog entry as a continuous posting until at least the end of the 2009 major league season. Many times I'm bothered, REALLY bothered by many of the hosts, most of the callers and the whole cesspool called 'fandom'

My first issue:

WFAN's logistics aside...for the last two days, WFAN has had their prominent personality, Mike Francesa, do his show live from Port St. Lucie. He's sitting in one of the broadcast booths. One would THINK that for at LEAST half of the game, we would be treated to what went on in the field, right? WRONG!

For those who don't know, Francesa is a dyed-in-the-wool Yankees fan. And he tries to spin it that he's an objective radio host. Bull****. The guy is an ignoramus and what's even more indicting, is the for the last two days, he was CLUELESS with the Mets' goings-on in the game.

He's doing all of these interviews with some Mets players and even some folks who are not even in baseball, like Jim Calhoun. And not taking any real time to at LEAST racap some of the ongoing action.

Add to that, virtually any caller who challenged him today regarding his know-it-all statements about David Wright and his clutch or non-clutchness, they got CUT OFF...most times abruptly.

In addition, Francesa is REALLY a head case. He's very tempermental, hates to be confronted, HATES to be wrong and as I've said many, many, many times, when it comes to talking about what 'certain' Latino players do or don't do, HE (Francesa) needs to shut the **** up and move his fat *** on.

He's clueless when he speaks on issues that he clearly is not in tune with. And that's followed up with legions of callers...following him like lemmings in the midnight sun, who don't know a damn thing either. They just mirror what Francesa says.

Fat Mike isn't allowed to disseminate what's going on on the field, exactly right.

Plus he's too busy sucking down aspartame in a bottle (diet coke) and yelling at ******s from the 212 to even know what's going on anyways

Come join our website if you're not already a member. It's mikefrancesa.com. We talk about Mike's show, as well as other shows on WFAN also chat about sports in general. It's a pretty funny website.

If I hear one more ignaramus call in talking about 'we (the Mets) gotta get Roy Halladay...'

I mean really? How stupid can some of these callers and self-professed students of the game can be?

C'mon folks...connect the dots!

a) it's early, BUT...have you looked at the standings in the American League East?

b) now that you have, understand that until and unless the Jays do a total tank job between now and let's say, the All-Star break, Halladay will ONLY pitch for the Jays. And I'll go on further and say that as long as the Jays are in STRONG contention (not neccessarliy in first place), he's staying on their staff...
