Mike Francesa may not know it. But the emperor has no clothes.
Francesa acts as if his latest controversy is because he is still throwing 98 mph. He makes it seem like he is in his heyday with Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo and they are still the clear No. 1 listen in the city.
However, what most people can see is that an unhinged Francesa is, to borrow a term, lost on the air. His circus act is the viral draw, not the sweet iconic sounds of “Mike & the Mad Dog.”
