The Mike and the Mad Dog show was a huge part of my childhood and I was a big Mike Francesa fan even after Chris Russo left and Mike was forced to go solo.

As I’ve written before, the show became completely joyless and Mike’s attitude toward the callers and refusal to ever acknowledge that he was wrong just made the show hard to listen to for me.
