Message: [QUOTE="chj001, post: 2477711, member: 8206"] While Mushnick certainly had a bug up his a . . where it concerns Francesa, he had the gist of it right. Francesa is a pompous, "thinks-he-knows-it-all-but-doesn't" jerk. He was often rude to his callers when he disagreed with them, and when it turned out that the caller's view was correct, Francesa would deny ever having taken the opposing view. Much of Mike & the Mad Dog was unlistenable. When they discussed a topic, each would have 2 or 3 points to make and they would go back and forth, like a tennis match, repeating these few points over and over ad nauseum for 10 minutes or more. My [least] favorite feature was when they got the TV ratings for the previous day's sporting events, and one would guess ("10.2", e.g.) and the other would reply with feigned surprise in his voice, "No, it was a 10.4!!!" Yawnfest. Also when they ventured beyond their areas of "expertise," like when they talked about classic movies, they demonstrated their conceit that they thought they knew what they were talking about, when they clearly didn't. Did I listen? Sure, more than I care to admit. It was the only game in town. It was also like listening to (watching?) a train wreck. But more often than not, after 5 or 10 minutes, I would be forced to turn them off in a fit of rage. Good riddance. [/QUOTE]
