New York sports fans and WFAN fans will really disagree with the header of this post. For the most part, Mike has been a big BB, Patriot, and Brady fan. He often uses this praise to knock down the JETS--and their players and coaching. I don't know what he's been saying lately but in the past he's often praised the PATS to the hilt.
Both comments are true. Had to move her 15 years ago and have listened to sport radio every single day since then. Mike and the Mad Dog were a great listen, blows away anything Boston has to offer. BUT Mad Dog left, which left surly, burnt out, and arrogant Mike unchecked.
When Mike is on his game, he does as good an interview as I have heard from ANYONE. He has the goods, just kinda burnt out now, and he is retiring at the end of next year he announced a few months ago.
As also mentioned above, at times, he is incredibly complimentary of Brady Belichick and the Pats. BUT he can also go off on long harangues deligitimizing them, like his hero that other loud Orange New Yorker.
I think Mike likes to bet large, and that affects his opinions, as the day after the Butler interception, he was deranged with rage on air, it was almost scary, I think he lost a fortune.
His time is past which is why he is retiring, and he is quite full of himself, but you would be doing a disservice to dismiss how vast and deep his knowledge and talents run, and this is from someone that thinks he is a bloviating gasbag.
