For any NY area fans:
How do you all feel about this change in the YES network cutting ties with Mike Francesa and going to Micahel Kay?
I know Francesa rubs some people the wrong way and some of it is understandable. I've been listening/watching to him since the inception of YES, I think in 2001. I don't think anyone else compares at all to his knowledge and the content that he brings in regard to NY sports-talk.
I'm absolutely disgusted by this move. I think Michael Kay is an idiot who is a Yankee/Yes propaganda machine. He has no intelligent thoughts of his own.
(I actually heard him say that Derek Jeter will likely be a top 5 all time hitter in baseball before, ....that's right all of baseball not just Yankees!) He actually had the nerve to say that just because of Jeter's compiled hits and position and championships that he may be looked at as the best all time Yankee! (Yes ahead of Ruth, Gehrig, DiMagigio, Mantle, Berra etc...) He's really not bright and is completely biased in everything that spews out of his mouth!. I feel like I lose points on my IQ when I have to listen to him for any length of time!
He's completely classless (Diet Soda incident to open his show on YES). He just spews out Yankee hierarchy propaganda. Plus, did YES really need his huge head on for more hours on the network? He already does all the games and has his Center Stage show on YES.
I think YES is really losing legitimacy, credibility,intelligent content and viewers by this move. They're shooting themselves in the foot.
There's much speculation that this move was spurred by Francesa having A-Rod on after his show after the hearing. Say what you want on Francesa, he was never afraid to take shots at the Yankees or YES who sign his checks! I applauded the Yankees and YES for taking Mike's criticism over the years and felt strong respect for both parties for their legitimacy. Now Yankee fans are stuck with more of Kay's outright Yankee propoganda, at least on TV. It's a sad day for YES. They've lost a viewer here in me now except for when games are on. (For those who don't know Mike F. was on air from 1-6:30 most weekdays) So this is a huge loss in the amount of time I'll ever turn on this, now sorry, excuse for a TV station....Back to AM radio for me!!!!
Curious if anyone else is outraged or had any thoughts on the matter...
