Kayxero Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I liked Chris. He was funny and had a level head. He wasn't too much of a jerk like Mike is. Mike is too pompous and arrogant, and likes to hang up on any caller he doesnt agree with alot of the time. Anyways I hope he finds something else to do. Color commentary anyone? How about Evan Roberts coming in to help Mike. Or Evan and someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankseagles Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Sad to see Chris go, I'm gonna miss the intro music and the "AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnndddd Good afternoon everybodyyy how are you today!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubinspop Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Francessa is not strong enough to carry that time slot all by himself. I bet the FAN will bring in about 5 or 6 guys/girls to try and replace the Maddog, it just won't happen. I wish Chris the best and look forward to him on Sirius. Francessa is going to eat some humble pie when he realizes how much the ratings drop without the real talent in that duo. For those of you who like Mad dog, check out this guys impression of him ranting on Pacman Jones. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppKLhlpkKyg&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I'm not too broken up about this. This show is the only show I won't watch on the YES Network and it is mainly because of that Mad Dog guy. He's loud and arrogant and I'm glad to see him go.

ehhh Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I liked Chris. He was funny and had a level head. He wasn't too much of a jerk like Mike is. Mike is too pompous and arrogant, and likes to hang up on any caller he doesnt agree with alot of the time. Anyways I hope he finds something else to do. Color commentary anyone? How about Evan Roberts coming in to help Mike. Or Evan and someone else? I wouldn't mind seeing Evan Roberts moved up to that slot although I can see Francesca being a total dick to him. Roberts moving up would also allow WFAN to release Beningo, the WORST radio guy I have ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xNc1212x Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Well i think that Mad Dog is going to go to sirius and hell have a good time. I was listening to the fan yesterday and Francesca said he would never have another co host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meteamo Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I didn't see this anywhere but for some reason, I think he may get a show on satellite radio. But ... looking at his bio just now, he was born in Long Island, went to schools in NY and Florida and briefly in England and Australia. He worked on the radio for Florida and NY and his mom is English so I guess as far as what happens next, anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayxero Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I wouldn't mind seeing Evan Roberts moved up to that slot although I can see Francesca being a total **** to him. Roberts moving up would also allow WFAN to release Beningo, the WORST radio guy I have ever heard. Lol I like Joe. Hes ok, but Mike would def be a dick to Evan. And as said above, Mike cannot hold the show by himself. That is why Chris was brought in 19 years ago anyway. He was the funny, louder, young guy. Honestly I dislike Mike enough to hope for the show tanking without Chris. Im tired of him hanging up on guys with valid points, just because he disagrees or because they try and make him eat crow on something he said at an earlier time.
