Anonymous said...: you missed another classic mike today....i'll give u the run down...see if anyone talked about it....

after the a-rod conference mike has his 10 min. solo or whatever....

then he starts taking calls...

so a caller comes on, and he's making his point, and somehow the question of age came up, and the caller was adament that a-rod is 34, and in 2003 was like 27.....

mike got all aggrivated and is like, im telling you he wasnt he was 23 or 24, there's no way he was 27 ...like going off and giving the caller tons of attitude...he was like 'so what your telling me a-rod is 34 now ?! c'mon get off the phone, he's only 31...there's no way he's 34 get your facts straight before you call blah blah!"

then after he hangs up on the caller, he talks to one of his producers, and is like what are you guys patching through here, no one here knows their facts blah blah....

so as he's taking other calls, i check the internet real quick and sure enough a-rod was born in 1975, making him 34 this year and he would have been 27-28 in 2003, which meant the caller was right....i was ITCHING to call the station....

so then a couple callers later, another caller comes on and before he made his point he goes to mike, hey mike a-rod is 33 now, so mike's response is "yea whatever 33, 32, 31...couple years whatever"....LOL what a FUCKING ASSHOLE!!!!!! he didnt want to admit he was wrong and that the first caller was right!!! oh my god....

i just realized why i listen to mike, its like watching a car wreck, its sooooo embarassing for him, and its like the hatred is so much you almost have to watch!; February 17, 2009 at 4:57 PM

Mike and the Mad Dog Glossary

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.'
