  A bit after 5pm today Francesa spent about 15 minutes talking to John Minko about St. Johns basketball. Francesa as usual acted like a total fool towards our team. He made fun of god's gift's name, ridiculed our incoming recruiting class and the fact that we were picked for 13th in the Big East. He asked questions like he had no clue who was on the team and who was coaching. The worst was him making fun of the names of our players and even taking a crack at coach Keady about his age. He slipped once and asked Minko "how will we" then corrected himself to ask "how will st johns finish this year?". The final insult was him saying that Iona and Tim Cluess was his local favorite team this year. I am so sick of him ripping our program. I sure hope that when he interviews Mike Repole tomorrow, Repole confronts him about his feelings on Saint Johns.

If he is in fact interviewing Repole tomorrow I'm pretty sure Repole will throw a jab.
 
It's to bad that the Francesa family scholarship fund is smaller than a Sly Fox Jaeger Shot.

Mike will be on the Pecora/Fordham bandwagon next year

Fatso went on to poke fun at Ripole saying he's paid for a spot on the bench and will most likely play a bit for the team this year. Fatso is so uninformed that if he called his own show spouting his drivel he would hang up on himself!!!
 
I think we should mount a serious campaign of call ins to his show, and mid dialogue with Mike, ask him how we can contribute to the SJU scholarship fund in his mother's name. 
 
I heard it, it was a complete mock job by Fatcessa. He mocked everything from the announcers to the players names. He insinuated that Keady was breaking NCAA rules by actively recruiting. No evidence mind you just that HE doesnt believe Keady doesnt coach and recruit. The good part is that Minko was as positive about the team as Fatcessa was a jackass about it.
 
Or better yet call Carton tomorrow. No love lost between these two guys, for sure.

At the Grand Hyatt for the Mullin event, Carton said what are 2 guys from Syracuse and Maryland (Boomer) doing hosting a St. John's basketball event. I thought he was going to say something about Fraudcesa but he didn't. 

Would be great fun to hear him bashed on Howard Stern and Letterman next time Russo appears on those shows. You got to believe Russo would greatly enjoy smacking his old partner around in front of a national audience. 


Where's Phil Mushnick when you need him ???

If thats true and he was insinuating violations its pathetic and someone at STJ should give him a call and tell him to lay off. For a guy who won't talk about recruiting because he thinks he has power to sway ppl (direct quote from him) he shouldnt be insinuating things like that on the air.

I had same thought. People seem to not like either guy but siding with the young upstart is the way to go because he doesn't like Mike its very clear.
 
No matter how Mink might have been positive, MF dismisses his opinion and acts like a pompous Ass, as usual.

I cringe every time I listen to him speak his english and grammar sound like he is uneducated. And he did graduate from our school.

I wish he had gone elsewhere.

When we get good, I hope he does not try to jump on our bandwagon.
 
Mike's since Chris Russo's departure  has exploded into such a state, where he is starting to lose any creditability. The interview with Revis is a prime example, they differed on the opinion of the Brandon Marshall play, but Mike kept harping on it. When the interview ended with Revis hanging up he claimed it was Revis who kept harping on the subject. Delusional.

The probelm is he has prime real estate in NY. At some point WFAN may need to do either of two things, reunite Russo with Mike or, make Russo the # 1 attraction in the afternoon.

the enemy of your enemy is your friend. even if both enemies are total boot-lickers.
 
I heard it and it was not as bad as being made out. Kind of tongue in cheek. Remember any news is good news. It seemed Mike thought the team should have been rated higher than 13th with this ballyhooed class.
Minko was laughing all through it especially when Mike referred to their off air chat about Stith loosing his starting job early on. The way it sounded is that Mike has a cordial relationship with Repole. (horse racing and Johnnie fans)

Tongue and cheek or not. We saw that a comment on these boards led to a soon after NCAA look into Harkless playing for the Gauchos. You don't want comments like that being said. By an alum to boot.
 
 No way that was tongue in cheek or good natured in any sense of the word. He repeated the same questions, harassed Minko and put us down. Then he fawns over U.Conn players and Iona players. That was as mean spirited as the BS he pulled on Darelle Revis. He wanted to get Revis upset, he wanted to get Minko rattled and he wanted to take another swipe at our program. I am so disgusted with him.
