There is no bigger egomaniacal idiot with little knowledge of any sport , perhaps excepting pro football., especially college hoops, than Francesa Biggest jerk-off ever on the air. Love Phil Mushnick's years-long continuing crusade against him in the Post Agree 100%. Btw, the twitter account that tracks Francesa's many lies and idiocies is well worth looking at frequently. Here is a link to some of the best:

Love Phil Mushnick's years-long continuing crusade against him in the Post I've not listened to him. Is he worse than the insufferable Keith Olbermann in his prime? It seems to me that too many of these sports-talk guys feel they must show "attitude" and focus more on stars who "suck" than on any honest, objective commentary. Was Jim Rome the vanguard of that movement?

Was Jim Rome the vanguard of that movement? Francesa is an a-hole in a different way than Olbermann. He gets caught in lies on the air every day, denies claims and touts he made when they are wrong, plays King of NY and treats callers as peasants, dismisses anyone who disagrees with him as clueless, treats colleagues like sh*t, and on and on. Part of it is enabled by management and the owner of the company, which is a whole 'nother story.

The "pope" is an arrogant a-hole, j-o, choose your weapons. I remember a time when he and his sidekick Chris the Clown - the Laurel & Hardy of sports talk radio - one was an out and out jerk, the other was a jerk, but didn't realize it. I will never forget the "hatchet job" they did on the wonderful Coach George Blaney when he was the coach at Seton Hall. They had the story all wrong but Mike& Chris fabricated it for ratings. Blaney is a high character wonderful man. In my view both Chris & Mike are disgusting human beings. After that interview with Blaney, I stopped listening to these clowns. By the way am I the only one on this board who greatly respects and misses the great Coach Blaney? LoveHC You are not. I respect, miss, and love George Blaney, and always will. He will be one of the most beloved people in my life ‘til the day I die. There is not a finer gentleman on the planet.

Since MF's "vacation" from regular radio broadcasts recently, he has been a bit better toward callers...just a bit, not al that much. He still tries to make anyone who points out his errors look like an idiot. Well he is partly successful in that his comments do make someone look a bit like an idiot, but it is often not the caller.

From someone who works at the same station as Francesa. He is as big a pompous jerk off the air as on.

I blame the listeners. If people didn’t listen, he’d disappear very quickly. I used to listen to him and the Mad Dog as the Dog was at least entertaining sometimes. Haven’t really listened for more than a couple of minutes total since the breakup. He’s insufferable.

With all this entertaining talk about obnoxious Francesa with comparisons to gold standard loathsome Keith Olbermann I cant believe that no one has mentioned the most famous pioneer in sports commentary. I’m talking about a man whose boundless ignorance, over bearing self-importance, and extraordinary pomposity made him the man that viewers loved to hate. You know the man I’m referencing.....

Cosell was obnoxious and overbearing, but was intelligent.and informed. Francesa is an idiot.

Kay beat him in the time slot in the most recent reporting.

Howard Cosell was the speaker at the Holy Cross President’s Council dinner in 1987.
Any Crossporters in attendance? Do you remember any of his quips about Holy Cross, Gordie Lockbaum’s run at the Heisman, Father Brooks or Edward Bennett Williams?
