End of an Era: Mad Dog leaves Mike
For those of you who have ever listened to Mike and the Mad Dog on WFAN, you will likely feel great joy or great sadness by this news. In my book, they were the best. Sure, it was a lot of NY talk, but no other sports talk hosts spoke more about teams outside of their home market than these guys (my comp set is Philly, Boston, and Cleveland).

Agreed. Somehow they were individually annoying but very brilliant together.
Without Russo, I don’t know if I can deal with Francesa repeating his every thought 6 times.

You’re so right. Whenever I listened to them going solo, I couldn’t take it. Francesa drives me nuts with his condescension; and Dog flits from topic to topic. But, they balanced each other so well.
They had Ron Shapiro on their show back in December (promoting his new book), and I wondered to myself , “what other sports show would have him on the air? None.” And the interview was entertaining because both Dog and Mike were asking questions… I looked forward to driving anywhere within 200 miles of NYC back in the mid- to-late 90s because I would always hear something about the Indians.
