    A Real New Yorker
    If you you wanna know what a NYer sounds like Mike is the quintessential NY guy who knows sports

    Great podcast!
    I’m a diehard Jet fan and understand the continued rhetoric of AR as all world. Bottom line. Let’s forget about skills. What I’ve seen about AR over the past year is he’s NOT a leader. Not what the Jets need and he needs to go!! Sorry to contradict you but that’s at least how I see it.

    Sports Analysis Unplugged
    Mike Francesa is the preeminent sports commentator, personality and historian. Ever since Mike left WFAN, there has been a void that cannot be filled. I grew up listening to him and Mad Dog and had the best memories of him breaking down a Knicks or Yankees playoff run. I’m so glad he has his own podcast, where he can talk about anything that interests him. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Sayings
    If Mike refrained from saying “let’s be honest” and “we know that”, his podcast would be 1/2 the time.

    It's Big Mike, Ugh-Kay ...?
    Mike Francesa is a longtime WFAN sportstalk radio stalwart. His knowledge is deep, he's communicative with many sports industry insiders and his being from the New York City area gives his presentation that "extra something" .... lol Been a fan since the 80s and I think you will be, too! So give this pod a listen, why don'tcha!! 🖖🏻❤️ #LetsGoJetsgo 💚🏈🤍

    …Completely useless. With or without his ex-WFAN lackey Rabid Mutt.

    Hey Dope!
    You must be a senile old dope to say the Mets have had very few moments in their history after 1969? Have you ever heard of Strawberry Dystra Everett or Piazza. Go back to sleep.
  • Tmalone817
    Can’t hear it!
    Volume is ridiculous low. Other than that, Mike is spot on with everything. Even when he gave Trump zero chance of winning in 16.

    Mikes off
    Enough of your nepobaby just give us your take. You were much better when you up and coming, not the arrogant pompous old man you’ve become. Also those blindingly white teeth look stupid and unnatural, just like you. Another example of someone that has stayed too long. Please retire again, without the bogus farewell tour. This time make it permanent, you are no longer relevant.
  • Jim in St Augustine
    Why no NFL?
    Guess the Mets and Yankees are so captivating that Mike has forgotten that there are two NFL teams in town?

    has been!
    great to see how the mighty have fallen!

    Disappointed in your parenting and ethics
    Mike, I have followed your work from the 80s and have always thought you had higher standards. However, when you include yourself with frauds like Andy Pettitte, Clemens, and A-Rod who are disgraced, it shows how low of standards you have. Listening to you describe you child’s behavior recently during Super bowl shows lack of moral and dignity in your parenting. They will become punks like Pettitte, Clemens and A-Rod who will go to any lengths to cheat because they have no morals. Another important point to offer you is you keep repeating yourself meaning half of your podcast time is not worth listening to. Clean up your act. Prolonging each episode just to say you satisfied your requirements to Bet River is basically cheating the audience due to a lackluster effort from you . If you can’t clean it up then give it up. Update: I gave Mike another shot after unsubscribing earlier, you have gotten even worse with repeating same thing over and over again. I couldn’t have said any better than what Mr. Cash posted in the review on May 19, 2024. You need to give it up, your legacy is already down the toilet. What a disgrace you have become for chasing the last few paychecks from Bet Rivers.

    Mike Rules
    Long time listener to Mike’s radio shows and podcasts. He is very knowledgeable and entertaining when it comes to the 4 major sports.
  • Frankie Rock
    Mike is the best
    Mike, Long time fan and I’m happy to see the success of the podcast. I look forward to every new episode. I have to give you credit with your takes on Rizzo, Judge and Grisham early on in the season. They were spot on. My dad and I always talk about your podcast and it’s something that brings us back the days of him driving me around listening to you and Dog. All the best, Frank

    The Best
    I stopped listening to WFAN during the week once Mike and Joe Benigno left. It’s great to have Mike back. Would love to see some guests like Mr. Met, Mink, Eddie C and Dog at some point.

    Let’s be honest
    If you like someone who authoritatively restates the obvious (and then repeats it six times) and thinks of himself as a genius (and doesn’t mind telling you), this is the podcast for you.

    Time to call it a career
    I love Mike. I grew up with Mike. Sitting in the back of my father’s red Toyota on a snowy day listening to him and dog breakdown Knicks play calling. Summer afternoons hearing screaming matches about turning double plays. Crisp fall Sundays going over NFL matchups. He’s a legend. I was sad to hear him retire from radio, then come back, then leave again. So I was elated he started a podcast. Sadly, I think this horse needs to be put out to pasture. Like watching your favorite fighter take those last three fights after they lost the belt to get some extra zeros in the bank account. The legacy is really starting to get damaged here. Constantly repeating his same point over and over. Pauses that last what feels like days to only come back to a rambling thought. Podcasts release times that are extremely sporadic. You’ll get a playoff game preview an hour before the game. He’ll then go missing for two weeks at the biggest moment in sports. The constant hissing and clicking in the background… not to mention a dog barking here and there. Phone calls where you can’t even hear the person on the line that’s his scheduled guest. High pitch points that crackle your speaker. Now, a year into this, we’re seeing episodes posted under one title of what the content will be, only to have it be the same audio file from four days ago. (Knicks 2024 game six postgame review was just the NFL schedule release podcast reposted. Then didn’t even post a game 7 preview.) I love the guy. I hope he’s got enough in the bank for generations of his family to never work again. That said, unless he desperately needs this Bet Rivers and Casa Migos check. It’s time to turn the microphone off. Love ya Mike. Just can’t see ya fade to black this way. I gotta unsubscribe.

    Need to drink some water or something
    Mike it's a great podcast but whatever is going on with your voice, frog in yoir throat or whatever that is is too distracting too often. Drink some water or something. Take a few second break. It's ok we can wait :) The content is great. No issue there
  • _mb17
    Missed the pope!
    Mike’s on he’s ready to go!
  • Sippydog
    Great commentary
    Mike always brings great commentary on all NY sports! Great analysis and great stories of his famed sports career! Love to hear the old stories of Mike and Dog and their adventures!
  • Ausable Forks
    Great as Usual
    Mike is still bringing it and reminds me of the FAN days. Nice to hear someone knowledgeable without the theatrics and drama elsewhere.
  • dominican central 1
    Life long fan
    I miss the days when you and Chris compared players of yesterday to today’s peds cut that rope bridge how sad it was great folklore for grandparents and kids love the podcast 👍
  • dkell7
    Clinking sound
    There’s a clinking sound in background like glasses banging together in the distance. Once u hear it can’t unhear it. Shows great. Always a huge fan.

    Barkley
    Mike Really appreciate your comments on Sequan. In another time as a life long Giant fan I would love to keep him. But as we know you must let the man find their reward. With the sole exception of the hated Eagles I will pull for Sequan all the way. Keep up the great work. Manny New Hampshire
  • MrShadow20
    Spot on
    Always a great show,Mike usually on the money on how the NFL playoffs will play out. No different this year , spot on. Could get to like the guy, Shame he is such a Woke Follower and not a leader. Outspoken guy like him u would think he be man enough to reject such drivel, Charles was certainly right and not kidding on that observation.
  • WMass Yankee fan
    Long time first time!
    Been listening from the beginning. Your show actually made my commute enjoyable! Whether it’s the Yankees, college hoops or the NFL, I like your take.
  • New Haven fan
    Decades of enjoyment
    Mike, I’ve enjoyed your intelligent and entertaining perspective on so many topics, from sports to politics to current events…whatever is dominating the headlines. I am thrilled to be able to tune into your podcasts on demand as you continue to provide the best insight.
  • Estone2112
    Not sure Mike is even trying
    Mike seems to put almost no effort into this- offers shallow and obvious opinions, repeats points from episode to episode and sounds like a kid who is trying to fake his way through a book report after he didn’t read the book.
  • Anthony New York, NY
    Mike is the Goat
    People who truly understand sports know that Mike is the best sports talk show broadcaster in history. His knowledge is second to none and for the most part was spot on throughout his historic run. WFan will never be the same. Thanks for the memories Mike
  • E rection!
    Wfan. Stinks now
    Wfan has no one besides boomer who has opinion I respect
  • Chickenandwaffles09
    It’s good to hear mike’s takes.
    I don’t listen to every show. Just the ones where I see he’s going to be talking about what interests me.
  • Theo Rizzo
    Not the same
    I wish mike comeback to the fan is not the same anymore without him
  • InfuriatedUser
    Still the best
    My only wish is that the podcast was an hour and five days a week.
  • 716HopMeister
    Good content, but not timely
    It is a good listen, most of the information is accurate and entertaining. But in terms of getting an advertised ‘instant reaction’ to the game a day later I would not considered timely, and have heard all the takes by the time this is aired.
  • weatherbesix
    There Will Never Be Another Mike
    I grew up listening to Mike in the 90s and 2000s and feel so lucky that I had that experience. No radio show will ever compare to the magic that was Mike and The Mad Dog during that era. It was Sports Radio the way it should be.
  • jamhead929
    Sports pope
    Mike invented the art of sports talk radio with christopher russo. He is as traditional as the Yankees Knicks Giants and Rangers in N.Y. I always look forward to listening to him and getting his opinions. The GOAT

    The GOAT
    Miss him dearly on WFAN.

    Respect
    Every time I delete this podcast in anger, I last about a week… then I need to know what Mike thinks —- I’m brainwashed since 1987. Love ya Mike
  • J_waan
    The best
    Man listening to mike brings me back to the 2000s when I first started listening to him and dog. He gives great perspective and is still an enjoyable listen.

    Listen just to see who Mike picks and BET THE OPPOSITE! Guaranteed to win! #Tankmush

    Brings back riding home
    Miss Mike driving home. He’s honest and like his knowledge of sports.

    Let’s be honest.
    Let’s be honest. Let’s be honest. Let’s be honest.

    Still calling balls balls and strikes strikes
    Mike hasn’t missed a step and this forum, without callers or restrictions, only makes him better. He is direct, candid, honest, and honorable without the high school locker room nonsense of current sports radio. Thank god he’s still producing content and callin’ it like he sees it.
  • Bob Burgandy
    Classic Mike
    The best to ever do it certainly hasn’t lost anything off his fastball. It’s an on demand version of what would be the best part of his radio show, the opening monologue. He takes the one or two biggest stories and gives you 20-45 minutes on it. For as long as I can remember when something big happened in NY sports, or sports in general you couldn’t wait until 1pm to hear Mikes Take. That’s what this is. As anything the big guy does if you like Mike you’ll love his podcast, if you hate Mike, you’ll complain about it but you’ll still listen. Keep up the good work and check out my podcast “Locked Up Sports”

    Mike Francesa Podcast
    Just found this Podcast (a little late) and I am so happy to hear Mike again! I was searching for him a year and a half ago and gave up. I have really missed his take on the NFL and especially this season with my Philly Eagles doing so well!
  • New York City IndyCar Fan
    Welcome Back
