Huh?
Didn’t he retire in December? So he’s coming back to radio? At the same station he retired from 4 months ago?
Yes, that seems to be the case. As a long time listener of the Sports Pope, I’m glad to see that he will have a show back on the radio shortly. At the same time as a fan, it seems almost a little embarrassing for Francesa to crawl back to the same station he just retired from? All those reunion specials, live shows, and his year+ long retirement tour combined, and now your just going back?
It’s a weird move for Mike but also lets take a look at the station, WFAN. They had a year and a half, (thats how long Mikes retirement tour lasted) and all you came up with was some random chick, Bart Scott, and a loud fat guy? Three people is tough to listen to in general let alone 2 spew bags and some girl nobody wants to hear. No surprise this ‘CMB’ show was brutal to listen to and got no ratings and made no money.
Pretty sure Mike misread the sports media landscape when ‘retiring’ and combining that with the failures left at WFAN, it doesn’t seem too crazy of a business decision for everyone involved.
Just looks bad for everyone. But before you know if Mike will be back like he never left and all will be forgotten.
