Driving home today listening to Mad Dog and he’s in Northern Arizona for his kids game tomorrow (for those who don’t know Tim Russo is an assistant at NAU). He’s on a roll about college hoops today and tomorrow so great guests. He had Coach May on from FAU today good interview. Also Jon Rothstein today who said “if UConn is the #1 seed in the east and play 4 games in Brooklyn and Boston combined you can mark them down for Arizona, they’ll be home games “ absolutely doomed!!!!

As an FYI he expects Danny Hurley on while the Huskies are driving down to the Garden tomorrow afternoon. Not sure of the time other than between 3-6. Also Bilas and others will be on tomorrow.
 
Chris Russo is worse at sports talk radio than Donny Marshall is at being the color commentator on tv. I’d rather punch myself in the face 1 million time than listen to Russo. No one cares about his San Francisco giants or tennis rants. It’s amazing that he became rich riding the coattails of Francesa.

You have not listened to him lately then. He is very good and promoted UConn quite a bit last year and some this year. His national stuff is spot on.

When he first went on XM i had him on the radio for a ride to Fenway. He was trying use his old wfan style and it wasn't working. It literally went like this "we got Benny in Wyoming on the line and he wants to talk about the Denver Nuggets, Benny what's on your mind there buddy?"

Problem was he knew more about chicken nuggets than the Denver nuggets. Shortly after he fired a bunch of guys who hosted shows on his maddog radio format.

Props to him for making that work this long. It didn't start off great. I haven't listened once since.

Livestream it on Twitter. Prove you aren’t riding the coattails of us all.

Russo always had a lot of energy and enthusiasm but his actual voice hurts my ears. I enjoyed listening to him and Mike yelling at each other and will always be grateful for them persuading the Mets to trade for Piazza.

I find most sport’s talk guys to be unbearable including Skip, Stephen A, and so on. They mostly try to have dumb takes that stir the pot. I can’t even name one guy who I would want to listen to. Maybe Craig Carton only because he has a lot of comedy in his shows but he’s also an idiot.
Boomer and Carton was probably my all-time favorite sport’s talk show but once they split, I stopped listening to any of them.

The Dog said it was a great interview with Hurley he mentioned how honest and transparent Dan was. I will go look for it and listen.
 
LoL. I like it when he and Stephen A get into a yelling contest. I know its an act but still funny.

If it weren’t for Craig Carton Chris Russo would be the biggest waste of money relative to talent that ever disgraced the world of sports media
 
Mad Dog promoted us last season and a little this season. He and Mike went on air immediately after we won #1 in 99. Mike also did an excellent job interviewing Hurley last year after #5. Kinda hard to hate.

He does like UConn it seems. He was in Houston last year; hardcore UConn people I know ran in to him.

Doesn’t make him less of an idiot

Wasn't the reason he was supporting the Huskies because his son was a graduate assistant coach at UConn?

I could take or leave Mad Dog, but Sour Shoes' impression of him is pure insane genius (like everything else he does)

Sour shoes is a force of nature. Get into some YouTube rabbit holes watching his clips.

At the risk of missing some intended sarcasm on your part, it seems you forgot or missed one of the great demonstrations of Russo’s stupidity when he was on radio

Again, if it weren’t for Craig Carton, he’d be the biggest genius to ever denigrate sports media. It’s hilarious he is now paired with SAS

Chris Russo has lived in New Canaan for a very long time. I know a guy who plays tennis with him, and another who's his drinking buddy (pretty sure Mad Dog's drink is an occasional grass of Chardonnay :p )
