Message: [QUOTE="JustinesGuy, post: 2475548, member: 7901"] Mike and the mad dog and then mike were very much in tune with there audience. At least half the show was callers and they did have a part in steering the show in a direction. When the knicks were hot with Ewing and Riley it dominated the talk. When the Yankees were starting there run and then dominating that's what people wanted to talk about. The core audience can care less about soccer, bowling cricket, and to an extent hockey and college football. There's a saying, give them what they want!! Numbah one for better part of 30 years proves that point!! When you talk for 6 hours a day you going to get some things wrong and some things right. I do think that the last 2-3 years, maybe since he left YES his shows lacked some of that non sports talk we loved. Less and less of talking about politics, awards, movies etc. Also yes he wasn't as self deprecating in later years. A small price to pay. [/QUOTE]
