Stu Nahan said:The best part of Mike's discussion of dynasties was when a caller brought up the Pats. He immediately got upset and defaulted to his they hadn't won in 10 years nonsense. The caller calmly said he was referring to the three in four years including back to back titles. Mike had to sheepishly concede that they qualify.

Chris Russo said today he'd be open to re-uniting with Mike Francesa. Then Francesa said he'd be open to that, too! http://www.newsday.com/sports/media/mike-francesa-and-chris-russo-both-open-to-mike-and-the-mad-dog-reunion-1.10660864 …

It's certainly one topic they share the same opinion on- they both hate the Pats and buy into DG 100%; despite the fact they're both smart enough to know better.Omar's Wacky Neighbor said:Right around 3PM, he was unlistenable talking about Brady and DG. Stopped just short of equating Brady to Michael Corleone calling for the hits on the heads of the five families
He made a big deal of pointing out "Wells has gone on record as saying he'll testify against Brady in FEDERAL court!!!"ifmanis5 said:It's certainly one topic they share the same opinion on- they both hate the Pats and buy into DG 100%; despite the fact they're both smart enough to know better.
When did Wells say that? I'm just curious, I must have missed it. If thats true Wells really is butt hurt about how his report has been perceived.Omar's Wacky Neighbor said:He made a big deal of pointing out "Wells has gone on record as saying he'll testify against Brady in FEDERAL court!!!"
Omar's Wacky Neighbor said:A single call at 3:15 today Re: DG. Wish I could print Mike's response verbatim, it was so many kinds of off-base:
Among the points:
the evidence that Brady ordered the Code Red is not even open to debate, it's right there in black and white in the Wells report;
Wells is a high profile/accomplished attorney, and he cant WAIT for this to get into a court room;
the LAST thing Brady wants is for this to go to court and have to testify under oath in court, as then he'll be forced to tell everything he knows;
if it goes to court, the NFL will look even better and Brady and the NFL PA will look even worse than they already do (so Brady will settle or cave in to avoid court; may have said that Brady has no choice but give in).
EDIT: FFF was spouting off as if Fordham Law is keeping a Chair warm for him, for when he finally leaves radio and can go John Houseman full time.

j-man said:i think cowherd will take his spot by march 2016
For the Mike Francesa fans, here's what I can tell you. Fox Sports will formally announce the Colin Cowherd hire in a release later today. In that release, I think they will note that Cowherd will have his show simulcast on Fox Sports 1 in the afternoom. That show is scheduled to start Sept. 8.
My guess: What will not be in the release is what that means for Mike Francesa. But what it likely means is that Francesa's show will be migrated to Fox Sports 2 on a near-term basis. I don't know how Mike will react to this or what that means for the longterm with his relationship with Fox Sports. I emailed Fox Sports with a specific question on Francesa and no response yet. If I get something formal, I will let you know.
Leaving YES looks to be the worst decision Mike has ever made.nattysez said:

He will be back on Monday but spolier alert: He will be reporting from Giants camp so there will probably be a lower key opening. Usually on days when he is offsite, FF will go straight to guests. On Tuesday FF will be at Jets camp so that should be interesting.Patriot_Reign said:Anyone know when he's back from vk?
First show back could have an epic opening
Yup. His take will be, 'we all know the Pats cheat, it's just that Roger is so incompetent he can't even catch the Pats red handed when it's obvious they're cheating.' He will never give up the ship on slamming the Pats and BB, just kill Roger.Vinho Tinto said:It's really terrible that he's off until Tuesday. I heard a couple of Jets goons losing it right after the announcement, but Tank would have been wonderful today. I think he will focus on Goodell when he does talk about it.
He will be as insufferable as ever today. I was looking forward to hearing his take on Berman's ruling, but today has ruined that. It's full on "Pats are cheaters" mode.Omar's Wacky Neighbor said:So FFF is picking a good day to come back from vaca on, after all.
