Callers would revolt. If Joe goes out (which is probably no more than 2 years from now, tops) let him go out on his own terms. At least you know he’d have no desire to come back other than calling the station to vent.

The midday slot really makes a lot of sense for Mike. He could take his kids to and pick them up from school without missing work. It's clear he doesn't wanna work the 5 hour shift anymore. In addition, Beningo's older than dirt and has a bunch of physical maladies so it makes sense that he's looking to retire soon.

He hates and knows nothing about baseball you can’t survive wfan without knowing baseball.

That's why I knew the afternoon show was doomed to failure. Bart was on with B&C plenty of times before he got this gig and he made it known he knew shyt about baseball. Why did Chernoff think this was gonna work? He deserves to get fired as well

Espn tries it with Lundberg Rosenberg etc because they were going after the younger demo but wfan “was” smart enough to realize the 35 and up crowd are the ones still listening to radio and they like baseball especially in the ny area

Why Chernoff hired a guy who knows nothing about baseball is beyond me.

It’s like he said let me copy what espn radio is doing even though we’ve destroyed them in ratings forever.

Because I think they wanted to change the narrative that WFAN was baseball first. Come football season, Bart is gonna sound like an encyclopedia should they make it that far and that’s the first thing CMB wants to address but he’s going into NYC being clueless about the main sport everyone wants to talk about. God forbid there’s days where one or both Carlin and Maggie are out for whatever reason, vacation or something, Bart can’t do the show alone. Maggie can. Carlin can though I don’t wanna hear it. Bart is gonna need his hand held the entire time until fall.


I woulda been cool with Jastremski getting that promotion. He’s young but he knows his shyt.

Yeah Carlin really shocked me, he's really bad. I didn't think he would be but he's unlistenable.

Yep and “Baseball first” is what made them so successful. NYC is a baseball town first and foremost I don’t know why Chernoffs trying to reinvent the wheel.

Also baseball plays much better on sports radio then football

Even Mike said football you do Mondays and Fridays.

Nobody wants to hear about gameplanning about one football game the whole week most even hardcore fans really have no idea what’s going on x’s and o’s wise during games if were being honest.and even the parts easy to figure out. How many times during a week can you talk about shutting down a teams best Wr or something? It gets tedious

In baseball most fans can play along as a manager in their heads which makes it easier to talk about and digest in radio

Lol at this development, bring back Mike, the new show and Kay are unlistenable at times with the forced schtick.

I literally CANNOT listen to the sound of Richard Neer's voice. How the fukk has his boring, stale, yankee/basketball hatin ass been on the radio this long? He is AWFUL.

It really shows you that anybody can do this sports radio shyt with the right connect.

They need to give Robin Lundberg a full-time gig.

Completely agree. Whenever i hear him i end up listening an extra few minutes because it's almost interesting how bad dude is. it's like the slowest, most boring train wreck ever. sounds like he puts effort into making things bland and boring. i dont want to hear any shock jock/carton-like bs but at least have a pulse.


as far as Mike, this is most the most "Sports Pope" shyt ever :pachaha:

definitely an assh0le thing to do if he gets rid of that crew already, but they're undeniably bad and i wanna hear him again, so im all for it :yeshrug:
