You see Mikey, I can deal with the vacations, and the diet cokes, and the accent. I don't want money, and I don't want medals. What I do want is for you to sit there in that faggoty fake tan and with your Long Island mouth extend me some f'ing courtesy. You gotta admit Tampuh is up by 9 games.
Mike from Montclair on the hotline again and getting 13 minutes on NBA v Olympics. It's all because he sneaks in lines like he just did with "You're the premiere talk-radio host in this country and you don't watch an NBA regular season game."
Mike said that if Phelps were a racehorse, they would weigh him down. Secretariat wasn't weighed down. I thought Fatso "grew up 100 feet from the beach." He should love swimming. Phelps might break a 30 year old Olympic record, Mike should be praising him. Who cares if Phelps is sponsored? His earnings windoe closes in a couple of weeks. Maybe he can write a book, but at 23 he should be cashing in on his 15 minutes.
That was awesome, "Ray." Well done! Very satisfying to see Mike actually admit he was wrong, even though he tried to pad it by claiming how right he normally is...He almost had you at one point, but you did a helluva job in taking him down a peg, briefly.
That was actually a pretty rational conversation. Love when you called him on the Red Sox, i.e. if they can't catch the Rays and aren't as good as the Sox, well. . .
Awesome call, "Ray"! I wonder if the screener got the Jim Stare for letting you through, knowing you were going to confront him about Tampa.
P.S. That endless Mike from Montclair spot around 2:00 made me think it was Francesa who was a guest on M from M's show. I was waiting to hear, "Here's Mink with the update, and we'll be right back with Mike from Montclair."

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.'

great job FTLT - you held his feet to the fire and made him admit he was wrong!! AWESOME!!!
John Hayman coming up...
less than ONE HOUR spent on the YANKEE Collapse.. what an awful performance.

Tremendous job! He's still holding on to "you can't take them serious (until october 1)" but props for trying.
Tampa is actually up 10 games in the loss column...and you can't make up losses.
I was very surprised at the amount of time that Mike gave me...
Did Phelps run over Mike's dog or something?
@kbill
newsflash: 300lb slob doesn't like swimming.
