Following up on WFAN’s Tiki Barber-Joe Benigno kerfuffle

James Kratch

All the love, bro. WFAN’s Tiki Barber and Joe Benigno are apparently copacetic after Monday’s afternoon drive brouhaha.

That’s an unfortunate series of events, which will hopefully lead to some changes this winter. After all, we don’t want to see the Bombers fighting to remain over .500 this late … Continued

Gregg Giannotti is bummed out by WFAN’s on-air ‘zombies’

In the first of a four-game series at Citizens Bank Park against the Phillies, the Mets lost by a score of 5-4.

OK, Al Michaels is beginning to lose us now

James Kratch

Look, I will always be fond of Al Michaels. He’s an all-time voice. It has been a joy to listen to him for so many years. But Michaels is losing me now. He has not been good on the call of Giants-49ers on Thursday night. There has been no energy. Weird comments. Botched facts. It … Continued
