Floyd Mayweather's "Fight" With A Japanese Kickboxing Prodigy Was Dumber Than Anyone Could Have Hoped For<em></em><em></em>

Last night in Tokyo, Floyd Mayweather fought 20-year-old kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an altogether embarrassing sham “exhibition” boxing match which was announced in early November, then unannounced two days later, and finally un-unannounced after that, with a strange set of rules and no convincin...

Please Stop Using Baseball To Describe Football

A home run has never happened in a football game, and yet home runs can be found all over writing about the sport, mainly when it comes to transactions. A new coach is a “home-run hire.” Wow! A team “hit a home run” with its draft picks. Okay!...

There Should Always Be A Big Game On Saturday Night

One of my friends hosted a Halloween party at his house on the same night as Game 4 of the World Series.

Mike Francesa Offers Touching Words On Stan Lee's Passing: "Oh, Who Cares?"

It’s probably too much to ask Mike Francesa to be compassionate on the air, or to admit that he should have known something he didn’t know. But come on, Mike, the guy just died! The least you could do is muster up something better than, “Who cares?”...

Mike Francesa Spends A Full Minute Trying And Failing To Pronounce Matt Vasgersian's Name<em></em>

Mike Francesa Rants About Reporter Who Made Fun Of His Expensive App

Mike Francesa’s return to WFAN has been underwhelming, although if you’ll recall what he was doing before he retired for four months, it’s actually in line with the personality of a 60-something radio guy who hates to take direction.
