The end for Mike & the Mad Dog?

There is no sports story -- or any story -- so compelling that it would cause me to say, "I have two choices" to follow said story and listening to sports talk radio would be one of them.

Find a computer and read about it. There's thousands of options. Maybe turn on ESPN News or FSN.

Listening to that dreck? No way, and not for any reason.

 

I hope those assholes realize they caught lightning in a bottle with their WFAN act, and that their potential outside of that show is extremely limited.

 

Russo basically said as much today in his opening, denying the whole thing. He admitted that they were at each other's throats for about 2 months, but that Chernoff called them both into his office in early may & made them work it out.

 

I watched Russo's opening. He looked like he was about to throw up. Interesting that he didn't say that he talked to Mike after he learned of the story.

It seems to me pretty clear that Mike either leaked this as a contract ploy or just as an FU to the powers that be.

 

Russo, as a solo?

Goodbye, New Caanan.

Goodbye, family.

 

Um, yeah, lightning in a bottle for 18 years.

 

The phrase doesn't have anything to do with longevity, it means they've found one particular niche that works well, and it's doubtful leaving that would bring them the same kind of success.
