Mike & The Mad Dog: Yankees Name Jeter Captain, Russo Flips Out! (2003)

On June 3, 2003, the Yankees held a news conference announcing that Derek Jeter was being named team captain....and Chris Russo, ever the Yankee hater, went on an EPIC rant about it!

[@scott83074]

I miss NY soooo much. This feels like hone. Was del7very driver in NY fir 20 years. This was my background. Love these old recordings.i remember almost all of them.like sitting in a rocking chair

[@BoB.._..]

Same! I don’t even like baseball but I always tuned in

[@stevenginsberg8471]

Chris said back then that nobody cared. Right, Chris - but look how long he insisted on talking about it. Classic Dog.

[@jeancarlosberasgoico8445]

Mike and Mad Dog better know now Donny Baseball was the yankee captain before Jeter lol

[@jeancarlosberasgoico8445]

I wonder if Chris still feels this way in 2020! Very interesting topic

[@DeDona1]

Chris definitely likes that the Yankees even thought to call about him!

[@michaelomondi-gq5yh]

wow even in 2003 Mike's voice was different

[@llaurita2]

Chris was 100% right. Nobody cared.

[@dbreiden83080]

Yankee fans cared.. And Mike even as a Yankee fan is dead inside.. He cares about nothing other than his food and his paycheck.. Of course Russo bitches as a Yankees Hater.. The Press Conference and announcement is for Yankee Fans.

Since 2000 They have more captains than championships

[@kevinburke6055]

COULD care less? It’s COULDNT care less. If u COULD care less then u actually care. SMH

[@FruityGangster]

WHY did they choose to announce it in Cincinnati??? Why not during a home stand at the Stadium?

[@edwardiii8409]

The Boss felt the Yanks needed a spark right then and there

[@FruityGangster]

@@edwardiii8409 Thanks for the info. Well, that’s definitely how the Boss was.

[@chalklounge]

This is a live listen to the slow cancerous death of NY sports radio in the face of the new sports marketing machine

[@newt0830]

Only real captains Gehrig Munson Mattingly Jeter Judge

[@CounterCultureCantCount]

This is what all American sports radio shows sound like to me, guys getting unbelievably mad for NO REASON.

[@w.jasonspangler2952]

The Yankee Captainship.

[@joeambrose3260]

When did " I couldn't care less" become "I could care less" , makes no sense

[@t206kid]

Idioms dont care about logic. People feel that since they are already saying the word "less" that "couldn't or could not" makes the phrase a double negative. When I hear people say the phrase I say 75% of the time people say the incorrect "I could care less"

[@mannylora]

I always wondered this. “I couldn’t care less” makes more sense but I hear “I could care less” more. Which is why I never understood that saying.

[@What7else]

It's a NY thing

[@DatruthBtoldy-do6bl]

How many times can two twats repeat the same thing

[@patrickgray5633]

Terrible how that was a actual story.
