Mike versus the Mad Dog (Part 1)

If they want a war, it won't be a long war.

[@ChasingDonnieBaseball]

"Mikedup...Francesser on the FAN..."

[@patrickramirez9163]

Aay u guys its 6 yrs later and Mike is still on top. what the and where the fuck r u nay sayers at now huh.??

[@TuMalditaMadre]

King.

[@TuMalditaMadre]

King.

[@VenetianSnus]

Mike Dup

[@palaciosjorge3075]

He went on Howard stern because he has a sense of humor

[@e2go]

Then that's the last place he should be. Show is horrible

[@SocialAssasin]

@@e2go Agreed. It's a shame what that fraud has become. Probably still bunkered down in his apartment ranting about covid and vaccines.

[@mr.brenman2132]

​@@e2goThis was 2009 bud. Duh.

[@keefriff99]

Who the fuck is Mike Dup?

[@luciogamesmusic]

Does mike not realize asking Dog to “open his show” is kind of demeaning and insulting??! Haha. Mike is kinda clueless sometimes, socially.

[@Ron_De_Vous]

He knows

[@SCUFFY7]

This guy thinks hes doing brain surgery

[@papamurphsturf2901]

You're a shmuck 11 years later dufus

[@TuMalditaMadre]

Not used to hearing Mike Dupp anymore. Court me buys a prize, ughkay?

[@Displaysac90]

Francesa for Life

[@BaddogSports]

Mike Dupp > Mike Zaun

[@DaveFurgess]

Miked up he's ready to blow on the fan, New York flab radio! He's eating his pie anyway that he can. Its big fat Francessa on the fan!

[@sxhbk]

Mike hates radio row yet he is there this year..... hmm

[@jbotts76]

dog was not talkin shit about mike.listen to the interview

[@Igenerally]

Dog's biggest mistake is letting Howard Stern rope him into this petty crap. To be honest Mike's show is not as fun or interesting as it was when Dog was on the show. Mike talks over guests is often inpatient or flat out rude to callers and his crew on the air. His ratings are up because his Yes show and radio show have NO one challenging his time period. I was suprised SNY didn't air Maddog that network has way too much dead airtime with classic old film footage.

[@e2go]

Yeah, he's abrasive at times. That's part of what makes him who he is and what people enjoyed. Not everyone wants nice, polite radio especially when you're discussing topics like sports which are just entertainment anyway. If he was so beatable other stations certainly would've challenged him but they obviously didn't for a reason.

[@Brynny211]

to be fair , its true this guy does pull more ratings. i honestly love espn radio though. i rather listen to michael kay on espn NY, i agree more with kay than fransesca. plus i feel franseca gets really rude at times. its lke hes saying hey u dont like my shows that fine get the heck out of here than. n he screams at his callers. hes really old school. but when i saw his ratings for ny, it seems as people really do like his show

[@opannefrank1986]

Interesting. So your argument is: either you like Francesa or you're jealous. Is it possible that people don't like him because of his arrogance? Is it possible people don't like him because he lacks flair and personality? Is it at all possible? Or have you concluded beyond a shadow of a doubt that the only reason a person would not like Francesa is because that person is jealous?

[@Ron_De_Vous]

Dog is better

[@skrillajones66]

Miss the Mike dupp song lol

[@jdaking1]

Im sorry man, Im a Mike Francesa fan but Mike cannot compete with Stern

[@TigerDriver66]

@johnnyapplebot Sirius gave Russo a boatload of money to start his own channel, and apparently he just couldn't pass that up.

[@jdaking1]

Mike always let his callers speak, I only had 1 problem with him to date and it happened today, when he failed to admit the public is treating this Roethlisberger scandal quieter than Kobe's and Tiger Woods

[@homergrand99]

now they're buddies again. and both backed off what they said.

[@opannefrank1986]

Regardless of what mike says, he got pwnt superbowl weekend.

[@brokencable2]

NEW YORK SPORTS RADIOOOOOO!!! MIC'D UP, MIC'D UP!!! MIKE'S THE MAN LOL

[@insanehooligan]

mike is nothing without chris

[@skrillajones66]

Ok ok ok ok

[@johnnyapplebot]

Why did Mike and Chris Russo break up?

[@greggie0707]

ego problems

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

My god, was that theme song cheesy and outdated.

[@The495marauder]

“Ok … mmm ok”.

[@itsabeautclark9960]

True Story?

[@PeteyRocks13]

thats like saying The Beatles are the worst thing that ever happened to music..I bet you have never listened to Howard

[@jdaking1]

Mike Francesa is the best, ESPN hates the Yankees, Giants & Jets. So why should anyone from New York or Jersey listen to ESPN?

[@robjontay5052]

Well to be fair there is no competition between Satellite radio subscription service and standard terrestrial broadcast frequency radio waves. The Arbitron- turned-Nielsen ratings service proves Mikes point: you are in competition for listener numbers within the market you are heard in on a radio. Satellite transmission is not rated by Nielsen so there is no competition. Mike is in competition for listeners with Hannity, Michael Kay and whoever is on 77 WABC 3pm to 7pm. And when the Mets are on NEWSRADIO 880 during Getaway Day Games! But we all really just want to see Mike and the Mad Dog get back together. It would get a 10 share!

[@peteykirch]

@jdaking1 Because ESPN Radio comes in horribly in NJ and WFAN is the only other Sports Station in the state.

[@giants416]

Noncompete clauses in contracts...happens a lot on TV, radio and even regular day to day businesses where there is direct competition

[@TigerDriver66]

@dbreiden83080 To be fair, Russo was the one starting shit here. But yes, Mike is a MASSIVE egomaniac. It never fails to amaze me how much he loves himself.

[@KC0462]

what happened between francesa and parcells?

[@Hizzoner21]

Hmmm, I wonder what took place b/t Francesca and Parcells? odd....

[@Tony-hz8ld]

Put the date on this video. Whats the matter with you??

[@aldeb456]

I hate too say it, but shiziest you're right!

[@charfman84]

espn and sirius put an "embargo" n his show?

[@BodieB]

Looks like he has rabbit ears

[@greg6898]

Gotta love the Err and not the ahh

[@TonyZachary516]

Godfather One Baptism Scene-esque

[@cunt4003]

PLEASE post more Mike and the Mad Dog and/or Francesa clips!! I'm literally sitting in-front of my computer getting OFF to these clips of Francesa! Hell yes dude! MIKES ON, MIKES ON WFAN!! MIKES ONNNN!!!

[@manifestgtr]

holy shit...take your pills man

[@JackieDaytona1776]

Hopefully an incorrect use of the word "literally"

[@KC0462]

what happened between mike and parcells

[@opannefrank1986]

Show me the ratings, please.

[@SkorpBX]

Chris Russo doesn't know sports, nor does he like sports.. he's a Jerry Lewis wannabe gimmick.. Francessa = substance.. he has a great sports iq.. love him or hate him, his sports iq has to be respected.. and the truth is that he's witty and entertaining and has a great subtle sense of humor.. Stern is old news, and currently a cornball.. Russo kissing up to Stern and backstabbing Mike is a prick move... when the smoke clears, there's no doubt that Francessa is the best there is

[@AlbertV90]

Ugh

[@TomFromJersey]

But did he know he was in competition??

[@AJice1980]

not in the ratings he didn't

[@AnE000002]

@avataz or a redsox fan.

[@KingThings]

how does ESPN have the authority to "embargo" guests from appearing on mikes show on WFAN...

[@paulmeier2563]

Kingthings9006 Because those employees are under contract with ESPN and they don't want them helping the competition get ratings. Makes perfect sense.

[@alldayeveryday2180]

Well said...​@@paulmeier2563

[@jason41482]

mike dup lol

[@skrillajones66]

Dupp

[@Tommygun1028]

Those guys pushed Mike Francesa to go out of character like this. Like him or not Mike was right on about this and like ZombieBernieMac said - Mike came through in a BIG SPOT. Unlike A-Rod who, when had the opportunity to explain himself in his interview - failed in the clutch...again.

[@patrickramirez9163]

He works all by himself and he is still going stronger than ever.

[@insanehooligan]

This is why I continue to listen to Russo. Does he know as much as Mike about sports? Probably not, however Russo lets his callers speak. He has fun every day and he has much more passion and personality. Mike's show has dried up so much and his true colors are out there for the world to see

[@pnoozi]

I feel bad for Mike. Everyone who's ever been in an exclusive echelon, especially in the public eye, has had to deal with the unfortunate, stressful consequences of rumor spreading worthy of The Hills and overall female behavior from colleagues. WFAN is the fucking shit. I'm not the biggest fan of Francesca, but I've been in his position before, and let me tell you it's about as pleasurable as inserting a catheter. It's an unfortunate world we live in.

[@IdacioNYC]

lol, wearing what looks like the same exact shirt today.

[@insanehooligan]

He's on the FAN saying how its his show. Like he's bigger than his listeners. I'm tired of him.

[@hiimbrady]

sounds to me like this dude is making excuses.

[@avataz]

Hey man Fox News is damn good

[@jackwoods9604]

Chris Russo is an obsessive liar

[@awfpunisher]

Mike >>> Russo

[@lethrneck4]

is russo still even on the air? they need to get back together
