From Wiki, touching on what FreeTedWilliams mentioned...
When Bill Parcells had his controversial departure from the New England Patriots in 1996 Mike Francesa took the side of his good friend and has been critical of the Patriots' owner, Robert Kraft.
Francesa has been overtly critical of Kraft as a person and as an owner. In 1999, when Bill Parcells stepped down as the head coach of the New York Jets, Bill Belichick was to take over as head coach. However, Belichick made a surprise announcement that he would not be the coach and then accepted the position with the Patriots.
Francesa saw this as disgraceful to his long time friend, Bill Parcells and has also attacked Belichick on air as one of the worst people he had ever known. His personal resentment of Belichick and his success with the Patriots has been made well known on the air.
