Are you waried? Listen, I know the Coronavirus, a lot of people don't know this but we go way back. We're good friends. I am not waried. Backaftadiss.The world needs him now.
Wonder if he follows FBOFWspends every day for years listening to a radio show he hates
Yes. 5-6 on Radio.com. He jumps on for a half hour on WFAN at 6. He's also doing Sundays until 1 for the foreseeable future.Is Mike still even on? Haven't listened or watched or even thought about him since he hit Funhouse with that C&D.
From what little I've heard of him lately (haven't been in the car much lately!), the half hour show is All Coronavirus All The Time. Heard him ripping Trump last week, and he's historically been pretty pro-Trump.Yes. 5-6 on Radio.com. He jumps on for a half hour on WFAN at 6.

Mike has been very critical of Trump’s response to the virus while still saying he supports him and would vote for him again. In other words, typical Mike. The worst move he ever made was the C&D to Funhouse. He might as well be yelling out of the window of his house at this point.From what little I've heard of him lately (haven't been in the car much lately!), the half hour show is All Coronavirus All The Time.

Yup and the guy who runs the backaftathis site says he's not interested without a salary.LOL. Mike and Entercom have lifted the restrictions on his audio and video,
The anonymous man behind the account confirmed that stance in a brief phone interview with the Daily News on Thursday. “When this happened, it was like he let me out of jail,” Funhouse told the Daily News on Thursday. “I haven’t listened to a word of his show since ... It’s been nice.”
When asked if he would ever post Francesa clips again, he said it would take “a significant annual salary.” In other words, it’s not happening.
At the risk of repeating myself: my wife delivered Mike and Ro's twins. After a somewhat rough introduction ("you sound like that guy with the idiot partner that my husband listens to all the time...." which got a laugh out of Mike), my wife hit it off in grand style first with Ro, then with Mike. Early on, it came up that I'm from Boston, and completely out of the blue, Mike himself brought up his whole thing with Belichick. My wife had NO idea what he was talking about, but he felt some need to clear the air.Mike's one way "beef" with BB clouds his judgement
Haha...this is greatAt the risk of repeating myself: my wife delivered Mike and Ro's twins.

I had to explain it all to her when she got home that night.
Mike being Mike: completely unsolicited Mike INSISTED on sending me an autographed photo. My wife tried every way she could to tell him "Thanks, but no thanks, it's really not necessary, you're a busy guy, your wife just had twins....", but he INSISTED.Haha...this is great

A week or two later, she got an envelope in the mail at work with an autographed 5x7 B&W promo photo in it.
Pretty much what my wife said. At the time they summered in Rockport, we had a summer place in Salisbury, so tons of very friendly convo about that. And the Sox had recently won their first WS, so that was discussed in very pleasant tones.He seems to be a really good guy when he's not doing schtick on the air.
I’ve always had a lot of empathy for him with regards to his father abandoning the family and his younger brother’s suicide. He also comes across like a great family man. Doesn’t mean his takes aren’t ludicrous or unintentionally funny.He seems to be a really good guy when he's not doing schtick on the air.
Who stays retired longer? Francesa or Antonio Brown?Not sure how to embed a tweet but Andrew Marchand is reporting that Francesca's retiring.

The best part about that link is the suggestion that WFAN will bring back Craig "convicted felon" Carton because ratings suck. That would be amazing.

Wait, Golic Sr was fired? But Golic Jr remains on seemingly every radio show on ESPN?That rumor/what-if has been kicking around the NYC market for a while now.
Around the time that ESPN canned Mike Golic, fans on social media were suggesting a team of Carton and Golic for WFAN afternoon drive. (admittedly, fans, not industry insiders)
No. Golic is going to work as a college football analyst for ESPN after Golic and Wingo ends.Wait, Golic Sr was fired? But Golic Jr remains on seemingly every radio show on ESPN?
Golic going into the horseshoe business the day after the automobile was invented.No. Golic is going to work as a college football analyst for ESPN after Golic and Wingo ends.

Could be Boomer and Gio in the morning, Roberts and Gray in the midday, and Carton/TBA in afternoon. They can’t stand losing ratings battles to the Kay show. The Kay show has grown on me and I tend to listen to that over Evan and Joe if I’m tuning into a local station in the car.Multiple media reports that WFAN will be/has offering afternoon drive to Craig Carton.

He would have then spent the afternoon saying to caller after caller, "Look when you are 6-10, you do not get to complain about missing the playoffs. I'm sorry Giants fans but that's the truth. You want to be mad at somebody, be mad at your team for not winning more games. Backaftathis."
OK, boomah.As if it wasn't crystal clear already what a piece of shit Francesa is:

Let the President finish his term. It is the prudent move. Any action to the contrary will only increase the drama and inflame the situation.
