Best Mike Francesa segment I’ve ever heard

Rich in Hackensack is a Mets lover and he had a problem with Mike Francesa. This is how it went down. See below for my two favorite excerpts transcribed.

Only 327 views at time of posting. What a shame.

2:22
Francesa: “In what way, I’m giving you a chance here. In what way—
Rich: I wanna talk about—
Francesa: In what way are they exceptional?
Rich: They are exceptional because they are magical.
Francesa: Magical, OK. And how are they magical?
Rich: Well, that’s why they’re called the Amazin’ Mets.

5:12
Rich: Hey listen, the Yankees haven’t won the World Series since they beat the Mets.
Francesa: They haven’t? Were you in the country two years ago, or what?
[Two seconds of dead air]
Rich: What are you talking about?
Francesa: Did the Yankees win the World Series two years ago?
Rich: Wha— … did they?

(Thank you so much, @JimmyTraina and @MikeFrancesaNY, for posting this.)

It's moments like that that make me curse myself for ever moving out to Wisconsin and losing my access to the YES network. I would have paid good money to watch that call live just to see Francesa's reaction to this guy.
@1:45ish: "We'll get the violin out for them."

Cl***ic.

This is hilarious! I love it when morons call into radio shows and the hosts embarr*** them without them even realizing they are being lambasted.
This caller certainly had problems. But the point remains that Francesa is full of himself and generally does not respect callers whose views he disagrees with.
