I'm sure he will during the season and might be doing the post game show on ESPN radio instead of MSG. The show is brand new so I haven't gotten a chance to listen yet.

Honestly I have a hard time listening to any of the people you mentioned. I don't like Craig Carton very much either and hate Francessa. I just want to be entertained and find it difficult to listen to serious discussions about a not serious issue like sports. Personally I like Le Batard, Bomani Jones the occasional First take and Undisputed as I find those shows to be funny. Its just a matter of preference I guess. Between music, youtube, podcasts(like this american life,planet money, tons of sports podcasts), other morning shows like, The Breakfast Club) audiobooks etc its hard for me to care about this stuff as much as I once did.
FM radio is pretty bleak, none of the guys I mentioned really take sports too seriously. Probably the ones who talk the MOST sports and take it the most seriously would be LaGrecca, Kay, Hahn, and Rothenberg. For sheer entertainment value, Humpty is pretty solid are you familiar at all with him?
Carton is realer then all of them. LaGreca is the chillest there and he started at WFAN. ESPN is corporate. Boomer and Carton is ying and yang.
Boomer and Carton making their picks for Sunday. Boomer watches game film everyday CBS Sunday, Showtime Thursday, TNF radio of wfan. His picks break down the defenses and offensives as a former MVP quarterback.
Craig approaches it from how to beat the spread. Week 13 December 4 2016 Giants at Steelers. The Giants are 8-4 Steelers are 7-5, Giants are given something like a 10 point cushion, and everyone was picking the Giants. Steelers won 24-14 and dominated the entire game. The Steelers have dealt crushing playoff losses to the Jets and battle the Patriots every year. Giants had the it factor and Odell.. Hollywood.. NFC fans were the suckers.
Giants fans hated Carton all week for speaking the truth only a New Yorker degenerate from Westchester could.. Listeners get a feel for the intricacies of a game: home field advantage, rookie quarterbacks against defenses who devoured them, loose logic karma and voodoo. Whatever he is talking about Boomer is there to keep him in check.
Carton will shift to the CBS dinner with Jim Nance and Execs Wednesday night that nobody else was invited too. Boomer will say Craig was invited but forgot or did not get the invitation while trying to least offend anybody, which makes it worse. That is entertainment. Carton was the QB who made it more Howard Stern than Mike & Mike.
Carton and Eddie did a 4 minute interview riff with sound bites of Evan Roberts discussing baby making with tips from Joe Badingo. The music says go to break but they don’t. [url];t=296s[/url] and bring in Steve Somers to give his advice on pleasure. Strict republican Boomer loose his s*** laughing.
Politics and Kapernick are not a focus. They support the police and the military but do not rail about for an hour. They think he is a douche, okay move on. People are happier without beating a dead horse on whatever the media says we should hate each other for.
It is as if people like Craig Carton will not exist soon. A lot of people get the vibe Craig is racist. I am white, I am from the suburbs, lots of conservatives around me so I have won't say you are wrong. But both said Lebron sounded completely sincere in his reaction and might be led to believe it is true. Someone wrote that word in large letters on the biggest NBA star property in Los Angeles and nobody got a picture of it? The police were called and the profanity was already painted over in drip free paint? The LAPD had no photos? The mass media machine marketing Lebron James may have made it up. Imagine the first 10 to 15 minutes dedicated in the DVD if Lebron won 2 in a row.
Yes that is F'ed up. Filter free radio nuts like Carton will never survive in a society where people cannot question what the status quo perceives as off limits or too sensitive. The conversation had to do with how the news completely dropped the story after 3 days and nothing was heard from it again. The only agreeable thing to do in public conversation today is to agree. Rosenberg is a watered down 2017 version of edgy.

Peter is a good addition to Kay and Lagreca but Peter Rosenberg's are a dime a dozen. Craig Carton is one of a kind.

Surprised how much hate the show is getting... you don't listen to Boomer and Carton for great insight on the Knicks - that is what I go here for.
Also do not know anyone in sports radio who can talk football better then Boomer - Phil Sims would be a great temporary partner to kick off NFL season.
What does he bring? Aside from being loud and having "hot takes" which he labels as such along with occasional bathroom humor, what benefit does he provide? How is he a better personality than any of the following: Lupica, Humpty, Hahn, Canty, Rothenberg, or the man/myth/legend Bill Daughtry.
Rosenberg was added to the Kay Show to be a personality not an expert. I have been a Kay Show fan for a long time and liked the addition of Peter since I have been listening to him for years on Hot97. He adds entertainment to the show and plays well off the personalities of Kay and Don. The best third piece to the Kay Show was Ryan Rucco though. Rothenberg and Rosenberg would be a good show but he just joined Humpty and Canty and Hahn has his own show now taking Rothenberg's spot.

Rucco was good for the show because it gave them a flirting buddy and also put someone on there to tone down Kay. I get that Rosenberg was added to be the Carton of ESPN, but honestly is that the best they could do?

Rosenberg is nothing like Carton imo. Carton is a jerk to everyone and would side track an entire show just for his own amusement. Rosenberg does his thing without malice to anyone and knows his place next to Kay and Don. When they are interviewing someone he shuts his mouth and maybe asks 1 or 2 questions.
Rosenberg is a big name in the New York radio scene. Yes it happens to be on the music end but I'm sure ESPN wants that crossover audience he beings. Love him or hate him he is good radio.

IMO both are derailers whose intent is to provide entertainment to viewers who enjoy their personalities. I don't really like either of their personalities much, Craig was more palatable because he will throw water at anything (Yankees and Mets for example) whereas on Kay's show, the Yankees are sacrosanct. Kay will be critical at times, but never EVER baits that fan base. Whoever else is on that show (while Kay is present at least) follows suit.
Right now if you listen to the kay show, it would seem impossible for the Yankees to miss the playoffs. Yanks are only 4 games up in the loss column from the Rangers (who they are playing presently and are the first out essentially). They are the same 4 losses back of the Sox for the division. Which possibility do you think they talk about more?
But yea, once Francessa is out I will likely stick to the fan if nothing else from 3-7 (when I am most likely going to be on my commute) because IMO that show is pretty bad. Don't get me wrong, it's better than listening to Drake and this generation of monotone 'rap' and whatever you call despacito. But yeah... not my preference. If it is yours, then I am glad it is there for you. Different strokes for different folks!

Everyone you just named is straight trash talking about basketball. They are all clueless as fuq and say **** just to piss fans off.

Yes you are right about that. I am hoping Hahn's show can be a go to for Knicks and basketball talk in general. I trust his insight on the team since I know he is on the inside. I thought the Stephen A Smith Show could be that show but it seems all he is interested in now is sports politics and race baiting.
