Would ya stop with the McDonald's drive-thru? How about stop with the late-night Dominos Pizza?"And Sabathia... geez... can you toss in a salad every once in a while?"

I heard that too. He did however say that he would have to keep doing this for a long time but that won't happen. Cano already has no concept of plate discipline, the .381 OBP last year was fueled by a buttload of IBB, and that body of his won't age well. Too big and bulky.I think one of the dumbest things he said today was that Cano could go down as the best 2B in history.
And now Mike and the callers are discussing it....this might serve to bring a LOT of attention to how Revis holds and manhandles recievers on mostly every play, and if that happens, that is a good thing...Revis just got testy when Mike said the Marshall play on Monday was a penalty. Things got contentious and a Jet PR guy got on the phone and instructed Revis to hang up. Worth a listen when they post it.
Or foot fetish vids on the interwebz.What is astonishing is that Mike, who obivously can't stand Rex Ryan, is so much like him - without Ryan's delicious sense of humor.
Mike, like many other people, is under the impression that storylines win games. Just about any single baseball game between two good teams ia a 50/50 proposition. I seem to remember him claiming that the Yankees wouldn't lose on Mickey Mantle's birthday too.Mike totally sold on the Cards winning tonight, doesn't give Texas much of a chance.
Or, maybe, just maybe he knew what he was talking about. Heresy to suggest here, I admit.Mike, like many other people, is under the impression that storylines win games.

If the Rangers were the "folding" type of team, they wouldn't have scored 2 in the 10th inning yesterday.
Or, maybe, just maybe the Rangers had a fine chance in that game. If I said tails didn't have much of a chance in a coin flip and heads came up, it doesn't mean I knew what I was talking about. It's not like they blew the Rangers out of the building last night.Or, maybe, just maybe he knew what he was talking about. Heresy to suggest here, I admit.
If there's one thing Mike knows, it's football. He knows the Giants aren't as good as their 5-2 record and go into this game as underdogs. I also think that Mike was a bigger Giant fan when his BFF Bill Parcells was there. He's definitely not a Jet fan, but he's a realist when it comes to the Giants.Francesa today talking dispassionately about the Giants-Patriots matchup. Except for his Yankees bias and Mets disdain, Mike is usually pretty even with his sports views. He said today the Patriots' poor defense is not a new story. It has been going on for years. "Brady and the offense have been carrying the Patriots for years" is how he put it. Then he goes off on the Giants and their problems on defense.
I think Mike could care less if the Giants win on Sunday. Do we get that kind of neutrality in Philly or Boston? Usually the radio hosts in those cities are caustic observers who deep down are rooting for the home team. I don't see that with Francesa.
He sort of defended Belichick today, too, saying the Patriots lack playmakers on defense, especially in the secondary, and can't be "coached up" the way many of his previous teams could. No big secret to any of us in New England.If there's one thing Mike knows, it's football. He knows the Giants aren't as good as their 5-2 record and go into this game as underdogs.

My understanding was always that Mike grew up cheering for the Giants and became friends with Parcells. Their friendship was so close that he just cheered for whomever Bill was coaching at the time. Am I wrong about this?Yeah I have heard him state on several occasions that he has no preference for any particular nfl team. However, it was always obvious that he heavily supported whatever team Parcells was coaching. They sometimes used to open M&MD on Monday's with recaps of "Bill's Cowboys" games.
No, he's in this week. Yesterday he went down the well-traveled "the Jets are just not ready to play with the big boys" road. Praised Brady and BB for the game, talked about how Sanchez was still learning/not ready for prime time in light of how Brady played, and so forth. Not really upset at all. Callers I heard mostly agreed with Mike (stunning, I know).So is Mike off this week or something. I came to this thread hoping to read some good stuff about the Jets coming up small when it counts most and there's nothing here. Where's my schadenfreude dammit‽
Caller: Okay, but they made it to two AFC Championship games.'Almost won? How do you win a Super Bowl if you haven't even played in one? Cawwwwwm down.'
