I Don't Have a Problem with That
Mike just said "I Don't have a problem with that" about the Rays trying to trade for CC Sabathia. Good news Tampa. Mike has given you the go-ahead. You have his blessing.
He also stated that Jobber is on the mound tonight......thats nice, Mike. Jobber....get a life.
Also how bummed do you think this slob is gonna be driving home tonight? Russert, dead at 58 from a heart attack. You think the mound is a bit pensive? And you know, as much as I can't stand the fat slob, I would not mind seeing him loose some LBS because he DOES have kids and as far as I'm concerned his wife hasn't suffered anywhere NEAR LONG ENOUGH to inherit his cash. I mean, she has to sleep with him a LEAST a decade more. But, I think its a given that it would be good if he went on a diet and exercise program.
Except think about it for a minute. Just sit back and think.....Can you IMAGINE the hell we would be put through if he dropped a good amount of weight and got into some type of shape!!!??!!??! OMG.....THE WEIGHT LOSS GURU HAS BEEN BORN!!!!! Tell me he wouldn't think of himself as the end all in weight loss and health. He would go on and on and on. Out would come the TUCKED IN 2 sizes too small shirts, he'd bee getting up and STRETCHING every 5 minutes on YES.....a MONSTER would be created. And you could be SURE we would gain INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WEIGHT LOSS THEORIES AD NAUSEUM!!!
The only good part is that you also KNOW FOR SURE, that one year later he'd be a slob again PLUS ANOTHER 20. But, god the suffering the listeners would go through.......
"Yeah, dowg, ahh MENS HEALTH called me yestaday, asked me if I wanted to be on the cova of this months issue......had to tell them no, you know, not my style to brag and show off, you know me".......
Mike seems like the type to go for the stomach-banding surgery but not tell anyone, lose a ton, and THEN pontificate about exercise, diet, blah blah bullshit bullshit.
I don't know where to post anti-MikeFrancesa.com comments where they'll be seen, so I added to the most recent post. This was put there today:
"I just want to apologize to you, and on behalf of the rest of this board for not responding to such an incredible post in proper time."
Oh, give me a fucking break! First, don't suck up to some guy you don't know on behalf of a bunch of other strangers. Second, don't suck up to some guy you don't know, ever. Third, get a grip. Seriously.

Be careful: Mike and Chris' way of telling sports fans not to fall in love with a player or team ("Be Careful about falling in love with Pagan")
Let's be fair here: Russo's counter-argument to callers that attack someone ("Let's be fair here. If you are going to knock Rick Peterson, you gotta give him credit for John Maine")
This whole notion: When Francesa or Russo declares something to be fact when in actuality, they are making it up themselves ("This whole notion that Mike D'Antoni is going to make the Knicks a playoff team is a joke")
Pipe Down: Russo's way of telling a player to shut up ("Pipe down there Figueroa")
Tough Spot: This is usually a negative. 'Tough spot. Aaron Heilman. Can't trust him.' They rarely say, "I really like Chauncey Billups in a tough spot." Even though Mike and Dog don't trust a lot of athletes in a tough spot, you can earn your way out of this label. For example, they couldn't trust Eli Manning in a tough spot until the Super Bowl. Now he can basically retire and still be a legend. He proved he can perform in a tough spot. This phrase is used by both Mike and Dog.
Tricky Spot: This really means an awkward position. For example, Ian Eagle running into Marv Albert at the Garden. Or I'm sure that the Giants last game of the 2007 was a tricky spot. "Coughlin wants to get ready for the postseason but you have to try to end the Patriots' undefeated season. Tricky spot, Mike." And for clarification. This phrase is used primarily by Russo.
Timmy: Russo's son. ("I mean, let's be fair here Mike, Timmy can throw harder than Igawa")
Say Something Funny Mike (When Russo can't control himself and breaks out into laughter and tries to egg Francesa on to keep it going. Picture Russo hysterically laughing followed by "Say Something Funny Mike")
First time, long time (this term is announced by a fan calling to the show, who has been a long time listener of the show, but is making his first ever call in - hence, first time (caller), long time (listener)
I can't go too crazy - This is a Mad Dog special. Dog uses this phrase to throw cold water on enthusiastic callers("I can't go too crazy about the D-Rays in May. Talk to me in September.") or admit that he doesn't have strong feelings about a subject("I can't go too crazy about the Olympic torch protesters.").
A-Game - This is Mike's new terminology that he applies to a Yankees win in which the starter goes 7 innings, Joba pitches a perfect 8th and Mariano closes it out. "The Yanks need an A Game tonight."
Bad Job: This is Mad Dog's way of criticizing something. It can be applied to players, coaches, general managers, fans - even networks, as in "That's a bad job out of NBC on the Derby Broadcast."
I'm not a big believer in: This is mainly a Mike comment. It means he doesn't have much confidence in something. And just like other comments, this is mainly used in negative, eg. 'I'm not a big believer in starting someone on 3 days rest.'
The whole bit - Russo's phrase when he is alone and wants to keep the conversation moving along. Without Mike there to add any details, Russo will use 'the whole bit' to sum up a person or issue. 'Selig will make it into the Hall of Fame. Steroids, the whole bit.'
