  • Great podcast

    I’ve been listening to Mike for over 25 years, he is still and always will be the best! No one knows sports more than him. Today’s sports talk shows are horrible, I was upset when he retired, but since coming back as a podcaster, it’s been great!

  • Great Show, Lousy Sponsor

    Been listening to MF for 30+ years. I remember him saying how gambling would ruin sports and now his podcast is sponsored by a gambling app… the irony. Now Mike treads lightly around the subject and its a shame. I really wish he would do his own thing and speak out about the awful practice of gambling and the lives it destroys.

  • Classless

    Mike how’s someone like you who has a history of being classless and forced to apologize again not only to Bobby Valentine when he made the playoffs after you called him a loser! And not only to both Wellington and John Mara but also to Odell Beckham who made a fool of you when he caught the key TD to win the Super Bowl. Now you demean Super Bowl winner Hall of Famer Russell Wilson who wasn’t given a chance by Devil. Just Classless Mike.

  • Winning is bad, losing is great

    Mike is a dinosaur who spends his time telling you how a Giants loss means the future is bright and a Jets win is pathetic. Trump guy, too.
