Mike Francesa is on WFAN and YES right now, telling their audience that the duo is officially broken up. Mike resigned for five years, and Chris "Maddog" Russo did not resign.
I am in shock right now. Not really depressed, because it's just a radio show, but I will miss it.

I hate these guys but now that it's just Mike, it'll get even worse.
Chris isn't even getting a sendoff. Francesca was behind the whole thing.

I bet he cuts a promo on Mike, saying how the Yanks are doing about the same as the Giants ;D |

i liked the show, but russo isnt much of a loss. his solo shows were terrible. he never demonstrated much to show that he was all that knowledgable about the major sports (which are the staples of the show). his whole routine was to defend an absurd opinion well past the point of logic, just because he knew it would rile some people up. he would also usually downplay these absurd opinions when he was proven wrong, usually with a half hearted "hey what can i say..." and quickly try to change the topic. not to mention the times he would spend 4 hours talking about tennis, and every caller to the show was trying to talk about the baseball playoffs or start of the nfl season. i honestly questioned at times whether or not he was really a fan of any sports beside golf or tennis.
i always preferred francesca on his own, but he can be overbearing at times. i wouldnt be surpised if they have regular guests, or say a regular monday co-host, regular tuesday guy, etc.
and most people in real jobs dont get 'send-offs' when they quit, not sure why thats an issue.

In loving memory:
Russo's meltdowns were the best thing about him.

I prefer Mike on his own as opposed to Chris solo, but I'll miss them together. I actually kinda enjoyed Chris' rants especially about his Giants because he was so passionate and so... wrong.
Too bad they broke up just shy of the 19th anniversary.
Kay and Russo together would be unbearable, but the reports say he's going to Sirius.
