“…so, again, instead of having a balance of Yankee knowledge and Mets knowledge on the most influential talk-show in New York City, it will be Yankees and Yankees…lovely…”

Nothing says it’ll still be the most influential, right? Just once, I’d like to see a show full of interesting commentators who do not reveal their own biases.

Maybe its my enormous mets fan bias, but I absolutely love beningo and roberts. As much as I would love to see maybe one of them or a mets fan go onto the Francessa program, I’d hate to see the midday show break up.

Kim Jones is not bad…I don’t care about the Yankee thing, but when she has worked with Mike, he never let her speak. He interupts everyone. I hardly knew she was there. I actually thought that Evan worked the best with Mike. However, I would hate to lose Joe and Evan – I don’t listen to Mike – the anti Met thing goes way to far. I say fire Mike and bring in 2 new guys/girl.

Sorry, but I trust Marty Noble less. He is bitter and cranky and I have no reason to believe that the “quote” he put up is accurate. It very well could be the result of a grudge he has with Francesa.

The Mets would have been better off with Lastings Milledge last year, and that was the whole reasoning behind defending this awful trade.

If WFAN adds ANOTHER Yankee voice that will just go along with the insane proclamations that pompous *** makes every day, I will never listen to that show again. How hard is it to just have a fair and unbiased show in the biggest slot of the day, on OUR station.

If only there was some site that every Mets fan went to where we could organize a boycott…….

I never cared for Mike and the Mad Dogs rants and/or opinions but once Mad Dog left, I had to totally stop listening. Mike is so pro Yankee/anti Met that it’s impossible to take anything he says as credible.

I agree with the poster above: that’s what the power button is for….

Crash test dummies really need to be of average weight to give researchers a real idea of what happens to people in a crash. Mike would skew all the data, unfortunately.

Maybe he could go work in an anvil factory.

Yeah…but what exactly did his remarks influence. The fact that some fans got upset? Sorry..I don’t see that as having an influence. Unless, there is some documentation that Omar or Cashman or someone who works in an official capacity at any sports organization is listening to this show and taking notes about possible moves, etc. than I don’t see how some guy ranting and getting *fans* upset is influence.

He influences the emotions of the fans? That doesn’t sound like a whole lot of influence to me.
