"Good afternoon everybody! How are you today?"
How did I miss this? On Thursday night, WFAN (the nation's first all-sports talk radio station) announced the Mike and the Mad Dog show is breaking up. Apparently Chris "Mad Dog" Russo is bolting for Sirius radio, leaving Mike Francesa as the lone voice on the station.
Apparentlly there was a big fight between the two of them earlier this year, but both insist they were on much better terms and this split is not at all related.
Russo called in on Friday's show, and Francesa and Russo cried on the radio.
I remember going to a Yankee game with my dad and my godfather back in the very early 90s. Francesa and Russo must have just started up, and they were doing their show from outside the Stadium.
Wonder what Bill Simmons thinks about this? He's claimed to basically idolize their show, although ESPN wouldn't allow him to go on a non-ESPN show.
Radio Alert: It’s Now Mike Minus Mad Dog

I will miss Mike and the Mad Dog, although I'll get to hear Mad Dog on Sirius. I haven't listened online much lately (work restrictions) but it sounds like it was best for all parties. They are probably the #1 local sports talk show in America. Good luck to both of them!
