A couple more thoughts as the dust settles ... 1. Looking back at Fran's final day ...he was smug, arrogant and condescending to the end - when you think of his asinine Beatles comment to then backhanding Russo one last time with the Ringo comment...I don't get the feeling at all that Fran had any respect for Russo. 2. Fran had to let you know 3-4 times that they both had opportunities over the past year ....I'm not so sure about that - I don't think Serius would have pursued Fran....and If they did it would be as a team and I think they hit a snag when Russo wanted to goto Satellite and Fran either didn't or was not asked to join ... 3. Fran plays it as he was sick of Russo....I think it was quite the opposite....if anyone recalls the early days, and I've listened to FAN from minute 1 with Suzyn Waldman...I used to listen to WFUV before that ...Fran worked with Ed Coleman ,- Coleman hated him so bad he nearly quit the station ....early on ...Fran would all but sh*t in Russo's mouth....it was unreal....until Russo finally told him not to talk down to him on the air one day .....he finally broke....made for great radio....I think Russo needed to get the f*ck away from the Bloviator ....IMO he was afraid of being remembered as Mike's little sidekick/punching bag 4. Fran calling the show a "gift" surpassed the use of the term arrogant.....there's yet to be a word invented.... 5. Sirius sucks - we know that - however I'm not so sure Russo will fail in terms of putting a good show on ....it maybe just that people refuse to pay for radio - like me... I researched it and I can't justify it. You watch ...WFAN knows Mike needs a guy he can snicker at ..and sh*t on.....the perfect foil for the job is Sid Rosenberg....he'll pop in and out of the show ....and Fran will laugh at his comments....ideas etc.... WFAN as a station ...SUCKS...complete garbage minus Beningo ....I find myself listening to Hannity and Levin more than ever.... |

I didn't listen to the whole show, but I must say for once Fran was pretty nice to the callers on Friday. I caught his bit (pieces of it) with Russo on the air Friday, but i was half in a bag already. I think without question Russo was fed up playing second fiddle, for years Fran would make it necessary to tell you he was in the "big chair" the "Imus" chair and this and that, basically dissing dog along the way. I liked the two of them together, they were a good listen. I'll still listen to Fran, no dought. If I had Sirius still I would give Dog a listen here and there. The best to listen to his Kellerman but unfortunately he's on in the morning when I'm at work most of the time. |

Russo is such a douche bag, I can't stand the sight of him sometimes. And that promo on the Sirius site, :puke: :suicide: |

Nevermind, found it. At the very least I'm going to miss the show just being a part of being a NY sports fan. |
