  • Not good

    What is left to say about Carton?

    McMonigle could be good but really needs to grow a thicker skin. Try not to get so upset when people don’t agree with you. Believe it or not, you don’t have all the answers. You are a radio producer/sports host.

    If I have to hear one more “Renewal by Anderson” ad mid-segment, I’m going to lose my mind! Otherwise I love all shows on the FAN!

  • I HATE THIS CLOWN SHOW!

    I wish Apple podcasts would stop suggesting this show!! I never want to hear it because I've heard enough of Craig Cartoon and Fatty McBarnacle is a Yankee shill and represents everything that's hatable about Yankee fans--obnoxious, dismissive, trolly, arrogant.

Q: Marv, looking back at the Knicks' Finals runs, how would you compare the team's current culture to the championship-era teams of the 70s?
I see a lot of striking similarities in the way this group gels and plays for each other; they have smart, unselfish players who understand their roles, much like the classic Knicks teams, and that chemistry can carry a team deep into the playoffs.
