So after opening the show saying how Antonio Pierce is going to cooperate with police and confirming that Plaxico is gone for the year, Mike mentioned the Rutgers game tonight and then dived head into previewing tomorrow night's MAC Championship. Mike is giddy about this game calling it "A fascinating game, a Friday night game, the MAC Championship game. Undefeated Ball State...they play Buffalo tomorrow night.."
Uhh, Mike, we are in New York City. Sorry for all you upstaters, but no one here gives a F_ _ _ about the Mac Championship. I don't give a shit about Nate Davis. I don't care that someone told you he is the next Tom Brady. I don't care about Ball State. It is New York F'ing City. Talk about baseball free agents for the Yanks or Mets. Talk about the Knicks. Talk about the Nets. Go a little crazy and talk Blueshirts hockey. Talk about Roe. Talk about anything but Ball F'ing State.
And Now, A Note From Brian Powell

Boy, that's brutal. Even for Mike, that's tough to take. There is not a chance that he could:
a. name 5 players combined in the big MAC showdown
b. name 5 MAC teams
c. name any D-1 player not named Tebow, Bradford or that kid from TTech.
Oh well.
I thought today's highpoint was in the first hour when he announced that Burress was gone and Pierce was co-operation "So that's the end of the story. Move on." Then he ran Pierece's press conference the next hhour and took phone calls on it. I know it is I who should "move on..."
Bud...yes and then Mike tried to protect his relationship with Pierce by announcing that Antonio did nothing wrong...now if the reports are true and he tried to hide the gun, then me thinks that is wrong..but the facts have not come out and Francesa has already cleared Pierce's name..
Mike then went on to respond to a caller who suggested that Pierce should have called the police on Burress by saying something to the degree of, I know you're a perfect person and never did anything wrong never made any mistakes, but I couldn't call the police on a close friend of mine like that.
My first reaction is that this is following Pierce's press conference where he claimed to be a loving husband and a father. Show some damn responsibility then and don't be in a damn night club with some punk kid the night before you have to leave for a game! Be there for your family...
And in response to Mike's ridiculous point of view on calling the police, if it were me, if my close friend shot himself with a loaded gun in a club when I supposedly didn't know he was packing heat, my first concern would be to get him medical attention, but then I would indeed call the cops. I'm not associating myself with someone like that, and if I didn't know you well enough to know you're strapped, then I don't want to know you. Bottom line, we wouldn't be friends anymore. I'll go one step further, it could be my brother and I would still refuse to be an accessory to a crime rather than report him to the police. But then I'm the type of person who would rather not spend any part of my life in criminal court and possibly facing jail time. Not that Pierce is facing jail time...
Mike's protection and naiveness about Pierce's role is embarrassing. The man does absolutely no prep work at all.
