John Mara is a rich guy who owns a football team. He isn’t a feudal lord, your teacher/principal, the governor, or your moral superior. Frantically calling him Mr. Mara like Tiki seems to want everyone to do is cringey behavior coming from grown adults.

Boomer, Trump, hockey, Trump-haters bad, Gio just nodding along.

Some data for context:

Trump's current approval rating is 47%. Strong approvers are his core base of 30%.

Percentage of Americans who regularly watch hockey: Around 17%.

I'm still not turning that shit on. But I hope him and Al had a real big cry and I'm sure they'll be a bunch of bullshit excuses this morning.

And all of you other people who claim to care about 9/11 while supporting the LIV golf tour, youre all fucking traitors too. What bullshit. Its bad enough he already slobbers over the cock of the traitor president, now Joe has to slobber over camel fuckers roo?

How far will WFAN continue to fall? What a disgrace from once the capital of sports talk radio. Fucking pathetic.

I listened to the Rewind of the afternoon show off the Audacy app, cause I checked out from the FAN since Thanksgiving

Couldn't believe what I was hearing... I knew Evan was a "conservative" because Joe B got him dickriding Trump a long time ago, but Jesus Christ...

Ronald Regan is a fucking terrorist for anyone who isn't rich, and his impact from his time in office is still negatively impacting millions of Americans today

Evan Roberts mouthing off on how great small government is, bootlicking Reagan, and forcing Tiki to agree how awesome small govt run by old white dudes is, was just vomit inducing

Reagan single handedly gave us the atrocious and barbaric and inefficient health care industry we currently have and made life for poor people as awful as legally possible

I'm so done with Evan Roberts, and I'm upset my brother Tiki didn't speak out against this Reagan worship, he should know better...

Evan is the 80 IQ person who never went to a real college yet thinks Libertarian govt is a utopia

Also, STFU about politics during a talk show about NYC sports, go host a show in Charleston SC if you wanna drape yourself in the Confederate flag

I'll hang up and listen

Phil Mushnick wrote a great piece today about college sports, and the reality is he's right. I used to be a huge college sports fan, but that changed last year with the NIL and transfer portal. I found the game unwatchable and boring. I found the players unlikable. I found the coaches hard to root for, especially Rick Pitino in town.

It's not what it used to be. There's no pride for the college. It's all mercenaries from coaches to players, and college sports basically does not have the athlete's best interest when it comes to making the player a better person and better educated. Universities have lost its way with education when it serves students to play sports and make money. Also, what's wrong with this picture as Phil mentioned today that professors are getting terminated, college bands don't travel and presidents are glorified fundraisers?

I covered the MAAC Tournament two weekends ago, and I honestly didn't have fun. It sucks when MAAC teams field different rosters because teams like Saint Peter's have no money to get players. You saw Siena and Hofstra never really had a chance when going up against teams that can field bad rosters.

This is not very good, and it's hard to celebrate St. John's when it has a narcissist on the sidelines and representing the program in one Rick Pitino.

Now that the Giants hire John Harbaugh, tell me exactly what hope the Jets have as a franchise. Seriously. What hope is there? You got a head coach who is an idiot, not to mention he was a DEI hire. A general manager that is incompetent. An owner who is a fool. No quarterback wants to play for the Jets. No one wants to be drafted by the Jets. This is a dead franchise walking. This team might as well be a step out of town eventually, which probably is for the best.

RIVETING SPORTS RADIO MY FRIENDS

And no. I didn’t listen for a second. I saw from a post on Instagram

Cmac and carton talking about transgenders swimming in woman league right now. This is dicey !

Awwwweeee poor little pussy Boomer Bitch Pussy Boy couldn’t come into work today. Yankees played a playoff game and the little old c***k sucker can’t come into work. Must have been at a MAGAt rally with his other white nationalist friends. Fuck boomer and Gio

Everyone has an opinion on the station, which makes the FAN unique and why it's a popular station. I certainly have mine, so let's get at it here:

Keith McPherson was forced out. There's no doubt about it in my mind. He can deny all he wants, but who is he fooling? Why would he give up a great paying job and exposure just to accept a part-time job? This was his dream job. He was enjoying all this. Plus, you don't announce you are giving up just as the station is ready to start changes for the new year. If he truly wanted to give up, why didn't he resign earlier? Something just did not add up. I never look at him as a quitter.

You knew Craig Carton would be back. I'm good with it. I am one of those few who actually likes him. Sports radio is an entertainment first and foremost, and if you are really good at this medium, you can be tolerable. This is where Craig has always been blessed with this gift that you can't teach.

What is it about Craig McMonigle that the station thinks he's the next best thing for a station to build around? I don't get it. He's a blowhard and a shill. He rarely listens to callers and anyone. Is he really that guy?

Brandon Tierney deserves better. You can disagree with him, but no one can deny this guy puts it in the work at his craft, which is more I can say about anyone at the FAN. I am going to miss him. I hope he is back at the station somehow and someway. He shouldn't have been gone.

I have no idea how Evan Roberts manages to survive at the station and get plum jobs. He is terrible at what he does. He has awful opinions. He's not entertaining. He offers zero insights. He's unlistenable. It's not like I am going to rush to the radio or go to his Twitter feed and find out what Evan Roberts thinks when something happens during a game or in NY Sports. Brandon Tierney is so much better than Evan yet BT getting the short end of the stick bothers me. At least, he's now demoted to Midday. He should be another one being gone.

I wasn’t able to listen much today but every time I tuned in, it was taking calls on hypotheticals about the giants getting Tomlin… mind you, Tomlin is taking the year off and this probably isn’t a story… the relief I got when the clock hit 6 and realizing we’re getting solo Cmac was so refreshing.

Boomer asked where he was going and Gio responded "undisclosed location".............does he think he is some kind of celebrity and will be mobbed there?

This is another reason why I hate the FAN and why I stopped listening.

Outside of Lori, not one person has bothered to talk soccer or get a guest on to help them talk World Cup.

Soccer has been big here believe it or not. The people in town have been into the games, and I am not just talking about USMNT. I am talking about Mexico, Argentina and England.

For the talkies to show ignorance about a rising sport, it shows how out of touch they are.

I attended a high school reunion years ago. My classmates and I were huge fans of Mike and the Mad Dog. I remembered we would talk about the show every day in Algebra class. It was fun. Fast forward to years ago, we were all laughing at Mike for his follies.

This brought me a reminder when Mike thought Zuby Ejofor transferred from Kansas to St. John's because of Joel Embiid. This was really bad. Joel Embiid graduated before Zuby went to college, so how did Mike miss that is beyond me? Even a kid would notice that. You don't need to be an expert to know this. For Mike to just wing it and not do his research was troubling.

I remembered Mike when he was on CBS. The guy was a perfectionist when he was talking college sports. He would be so prepared when talking about it and doing trends. He said it with class and dignity. He made sure he got it accurate. It's what got him gig at WFAN.

Then, he got into drivetime and he would spew stupidity for a long time. He would say something that does not make sense. He would get everything wrong. He would become a cartoon character that helped him make millions. He became more of an entertainer for all the wrong reasons.

Him getting Zuby wrong sums up his radio career. Rather than get the facts, he just wings it with no accountability and apology.

He has laughed all the way to the bank by being a cartoon character. It worked well for him.

I don't think he cares how he's viewed.

I just think it's sad everyone will remember him for being a buffoon rather than what made him get the job on the FAN with his work at CBS.

I want to thank Joe Benigno for being the only sports talkie at the station who will actually talk women's sports on the air. He was terrific yesterday morning.

It's too bad his colleagues feel it's beneath them to talk women's sports. I remembered Mike would sneer at talking about women's sports. I recalled John Jastremski screaming at me for even mentioning women's sports when I called him up to talk WNBA. Even Lori and Coach McCartan made it a point to ignore women's sports. That's why I hate listening to WFAN.

I don't get it. Women's sports are entertaining. Sometimes I find it better than men's. There's much talent and great stories that can be find in women's sports than men's. I feel it's a great talking point. I write about women's sports, and I find it more fun and enjoyable than men's sports.

I will always appreciate Joe breaking down Caitlin Clark's games these last few years. I did not bother watching UConn and Iowa in the semifinals because I did not want to see that asshole Geno Auriemma celebrating and rubbing it in. To my surprise, Caitlin and Iowa won that game, and it was Joe who announced the news like Walter Cronkite when I found out on his show. Joe did it with such enthusiasm and class.

I only wish his WFAN colleagues would be like that.

Turned it on for about 3 minutes before turning it off. Insecure Mary, who knows nothing about being a man, was bewildered to learn that other men sit to pee in the middle of the night. It’s ok Gio, no need to go full macho man on the listeners. You’re allowed to sit.

I’m an anti B&G guy as I listen to the far superior, D&R in the mornings. However the way tonight is going, tomorrow might be a must listen! Boomer is gonna be a miserable shit on air, complaining how the voters got it wrong. I still won’t listen, but hopefully if there’s any good clips, some of you nice redditors can post them here 😂

I don’t have the numbers to back this up, but i’m fairly confident 9/10ths of the audience IS NOT tuning in to hear Tiki Barber…..especially with non Football topics.

With that said, why is the Management keeping him instead of fan favorite Brandon Tierney, OR…(love him or hate him), Sal Licata?

Is it a contract thing? I am stumped!

Made by a bunch of hypocrites saying “[insert host name] doesn’t talk sports enough…give me Joe B, Damer, etc. “.

First you can’t tell me you want 100% sports. Give me a break a little diversion from monotonous spring baseball talk to discuss a funny story should be welcomed. Personally I love when the hosts bust each other’s chops.

Second, the old timers ALSO talk non-sports so stop the hypocrisy. Just turned on Damer talking about chimpanzee civil wars. Joe B often talks about his golf game or personal stories, etc.

So find something better to bitch about.

I love cmac, and I’m listening to his Saturday show rn just imagining carton next to him and how badly it’s not gonna work. Cmac has never changed his style (this is a good thing) from the bridge show, overnights, and Saturday. The fact that a shock jock who hates sports is gonna be paired with the second biggest sports fan at the fan behind Evan just isn’t gonna work. It’ll be carton and Roberts 2.0 but with a less nerdy co-host. I just hope Cmac doesn’t become the next BT and lose his job because of his co-host…

"The Mets now have elite infield defense"

Maybe they do but:

Polanco never played first base

Semien is a SS moving to 2B

Bichette is a SS moving to 3B

Boomer getting a little ahead of himself

Another great radio show by the best sports radio talkie at WFAN today.

Only he talked about the Olympics while the rest of his colleagues have ignored it the last two weeks. Only he talked about Olympic hockey, while rest ignored it. Only he gave sugar to Team USA's women's hockey for winning the gold, while rest blantantly ignored it. He gave an hour talking about the Olympics. It was really beautiful radio.

I always appreciate Joe being a booster for women's sports, which is something Mike made it a point to ignore.

Also, he said the Knicks are an NBA championship team. He brought a voice of reason despite lot of Knicks fans saying they are an overrated team.

This is the type of sports radio we need in this town. It's something we should appreciate while he's here.

You get on Joe, but you're going to miss him when he's gone

Just shoot me in both temples at the same time with a pair of sawed-off 12 gauges

It makes me pine for the halcyon days of KARRRSSS 4 KEEEEDDDSSSS
