Bottom line, those 2 were the originators of the sports talk phenomenon. Miss them, love them
GOOOOOOOOOOOODMORNING Everybody, How are You Today. It is a Mike and the Mad Dog...
Classic
Mike and the Mad Dog. The greatest sports radio show in history. Will never be duplicated, replicated, imitated.
Jay and Dan!!!
Why tho? What makes it anything ya know? Just two guys talking

@@jangjahnh1654they were plugged in to the various leagues and got big interviews, they reported, they were in the know. Today, it’s just blather. It’s more a fan’s perspective. With Mike and Dog you knew what owners were thinking, players, league execs. Today’s guys never pick up a phone. They’re just radio guys. They can do their shows in a bubble.
Man I miss these guys
wow I give props to Kay to acknowledge on air that Mike is #1
Mike had every right to be pissed about Russo’s request of not playing then jingle when he went away
I miss Dog being on WFAN it's just not the same without him.
George costanza is best
Look What The Cat Dragged in Him and Mike Francess out where the best thing that ever happened to WFAN
How can you not love that guy
For a guy that was the offspring of Archie Bunker and Daffy Duck, Chris Russo did very good for himself !
I thought Chris came off as very down-to-earth and relatable here.
Man oh man, I miss Mike and The Mad Dog.
Yeah, they may both be arrogant blowhards, but dammit they were so entertaining!
I could listen to that show for hours!
Michael kay, just looking to dig up dirt on Zaun.
Zaun > Kay!
Michael Kay doesn't hold a candle to Tank!
I wonder what Mad Dog was like as a kid lol. He had to be an absolute lunatic😂
At the end of the day it's a job and they respected each other enough to be hugely successful for five hours a day for 19 years. That's a ridiculous amount of content to put out as a team.
Mad Dog is a national treasure.
Maddog radio is the only reason I keep xm radio
Is that Turtle from Entourage at 01:45?
Most successful announcer with a speech impediment
I renember
Ok these too are far better together than they are ever apart. Mike with some logic, Dog had the Sizzle. Now......not so much on either side.
russo and Francesca were a great listen but too much ego. i know people who worked at WFAN during the 90s who told me the relationship was extremely hot and cold. chris resented the aspect that mike was considered the " senior" partner in the relationship which was generally understood. never really a co-equal partnership.
+emperor clovis great post ..I also heard that rumor but Russo had to realize that Mike was doing CBS and was at wfan when russo was a nobody and Mike is around 6yrs older !
Russo was the reason that show was so great.
I'm Daffy Duck.
+Displaysac90 ehhhhh what's up doc? :D
"I renember"
I'm daffy duck. perfect analogy. perfect.
I wanted mike to take another host but his ego said he didn’t want anyone else. It would have been nice for a give n take
Chris beginning to look like Fonzie. Right?
Ayyyyeeee!
Yes lol good call lol
I miss Tank Franceser and dog
Funny that Kay is forced to bring up Francesa, because he is incredibly jealous of him and gets mad at him for getting better ratings than him haha
Thought he handled it well. You could probably see some animus there if you knew the back story, and he couldn't have looked forward to this interview. But he acquitted himself well under the circumstances.
This dont aged well
I love mad dog. The fan went downhill when he left . Last time I listened maybe 10 plus years ago it was boomer & carton , instead of imus in the morning , joe beningo who was a caller with that nepotism brat evan Roberts the guy was 23 with a show on wfan. I see much more talented guys work their butts off doing local high school games and occasionally got to do the 20 20 flash . Then it was either a game or steve summers who was really funny after mike & the mad dog. Steve sommers did the overnights and on sundays they put a syndicated guy on named Ferrell the fans hated . Anyway seems the fan has had a lot if controversy seems everyone hates francessa like all the guys on michael Kay's show or boomer ( who used to be on with carton but got arrested
My point is wfan in the 90s had mike & the mad dog the most popular show around. I'm from ny so I listened to them but were they syndicated in other markets or just ny parts of ct jersey and pa
Roberts is related to someone?
Yeah I thought it was strange to have your own show at 23. I don’t care how good anyone is at that age you should earn it by working your way up just like any other job
Dog was a fool to leave the fan should have takin over the am.
That said there is no question francessa manipulated him out the door by creating fake arguments etc all he fell for.
Remember francessa knew the dog was unhappy.
He just put some grease on the rails
Chris Russo couldn't stand Mike Francesa he's not gonna admit it.. I remember the Classic Rant between the both of them on the air about a new Yankee Stadium being built Mike and Mad Dogg argued for about 15 minutes lol.. Russo left because he got tired of being in Mike's huge shadow and wanted his own show..
What Mental Illness makes someone so animated and use their hands sooo much?
I understand some of it is that he’s Italian.
Kay and Francesa in the same building?!?! Never.
This made no sense. Russo is on the map because of the Mike and the Mad Dog show. It would be like having an interview with Abbott and not Costello.
When Francesa is at Yankee games, they are in the same building.
Steven Arendash :p
IWonTheIntarwebz ?
Who would hire a guy who can't pronounce his "r"s??
That's everyone in New York
Someone who wanted a radio show that was number one for 19 years
Bwady
I hated russo lol hes so irritating
JOE DIMAGGIO
I wish dan Patrick would replace mike
I can't wait for Russo to be fired by the MLB Network. I don't think there's a more annoying person in the media. His mouth just flops around like his bottom jaw isn't attached to his face.
Most annoying man in the world after skip bayless
