I know I dont know how it’s still on the air it’s awful but there are still some good people there. I just can’t listen to it. Thank God for this podcast and Oh the Pain! I do like Saturday morning with Joe B.
The story about the car dealer and college players is hilarious. He's right, back in the day it would have def landed you in cuffs, national scandal, etc. I'm still a pretty young guy but how times have changed as far as that stuff goes.
"Somehow," I was under the impression that it was already illegal years ago that players were not allowed to pull or drag a teammate for forward progress.
And you won't hear a peep out of the NFL, because in their mind they did nothing wrong; because it's a sports entertainment venue & they did their job. I watched it, you watched, & along w/ like 80 million other people too lol People have short memories so even if the refs cheat in SB , They know everyone will miss them for 7 months and come running back - much like to an abusive spouse; that does what they want! They'll be no boycott next week, b/c the masses are weak!
Mike. What are you talking about. METS offered him 6 years 158 mil. Pete turned it down, point blank. How does this make the mets look bad. You obviously hate the mets
Ron Torbert will be the Head Referee of Super Bowl 59. Torbert is infamous for his crew losing track of the number of downs and the time clock in the Cincinnati v KC AFC Championship game. They gave KC 5 downs which Mahomes turned into a touchdown. I mean Goddell is tone deaf on the refs giving KC all the breaks. Look up KC's record when Torbert is Head Ref. Unbelievable. On the final play that got the Chiefs in FG position. Mahomes ran for 25 yards but the Bengals DE was literally tackled in a choke hold. No Flag.
I think Mike’s memory is betraying him. I remember he picked Bills against Redskins in Super Bowl 26 because he felt Bills have the best player (Thurman Thomas) and a better quarterback (Jim Kelly) on the field and didn’t trust Redskins QB (Mark Rypien). In the Bills’ last Super Bowl against Cowboys his comment back then was that Bills was able to stay with Cowboys for only the first half - not close enough for a win (even though better than the previous SB where they only played effectively for 1 quarter). I used to be Bills fan back in the 90s so I remember it well.
It's a disgrace at how Mike brushed aside the crooked refs scandal who help KC every game with crucial calls and no calls that DIRECTLY affect the outcomes.
Not to take anything away from Andy Reid or Mahomes, but KC has been the darling of the NFL for years and even more so now since Taylor Swift joined the team and almost every call in every game I have watched has had them get every call go their way. This has led to wins for them which has put them in the number 1 seed position this year. So without the bogus calls, where would this historical great record breaking team be??? So done with it.
I from the UK and I wanan comment in what Mike said about WNBA players being Jealous of Caitlin Clark. Complete nonsense. Angel Reese and A'ja Wilson are already well known and better than Caitlin Clark and already have endorsements themselves. Clark is a good player but she aint gonna get the likes of Reese or Wilson paid, those 2 can do it themselves. And jealous of her?? Have you seen Reese and Wilson play?? Come now Mike. You were gaslighting a bit there.

Mike talking sports is a blessing. Sports talk in NY is brutal, WFAN is brutal, good grief!
I know I dont know how it’s still on the air it’s awful but there are still some good people there. I just can’t listen to it. Thank God for this podcast and Oh the Pain! I do like Saturday morning with Joe B.
I find it brutal everywhere.people yelling hysterically has taken the place of knowledgeable talk.I've completely tuned it all out.
Will go shopping and wash my car during Superbowl. Counting days till MLB spring training
Funny I find myself listening to Mike in the car a lot just like the old days with Mike and the mad dog
Chiefs need to bring in Giambi to ensure the 3-peat
The story about the car dealer and college players is hilarious. He's right, back in the day it would have def landed you in cuffs, national scandal, etc. I'm still a pretty young guy but how times have changed as far as that stuff goes.
So who are you picking mike
"Somehow," I was under the impression that it was already illegal years ago that players were not allowed to pull or drag a teammate for forward progress.
There is one way Pete can come back to the Mets and still look good: Fire Boras
Mike always talks 🏈 the way the Ol school sports guys I grew up around. 💪If KC has D Hop playing its really going to stretch Philly's Defense
Dallas should have invested more in snowblowas during superbowl week
20:20 thought he was having a stroke or something
Never bet against Legends

Accusations should not be public without evidence. Men with money are targets

Bills should have run Cook more. Philadelphia will not make the same mistake and will run Hurst on run pass options.
What will you say when the Eagles win the Super Bowl and there are no controversial calls to complain about?

Pretty sure he discussed it in his last video.
Yes, BLASTED the 4th down call in his last video
@@Bfrank98 he discussed it at length the weird thing was in the video before that he was saying how the bills lost fair and square.,,

So Mike thinks Tucker is guilty because who would accuse a FG kicker? We are seriously becoming a dumb species.
Wfan nowadays is painful to hear..terrible
I'll save you a lot of time - Chiefs win due to the refs again...
Fresh take
Mike you can’t mention the best defensive lineman in the league and not include Dexter Lawrence. C’mon.
