Chris Mad Dog Russo

Welcome back our number three Dennis and Callahan and everybody in the world knows our next guest Chris. Russo prism from the up Mike and mad dogs were -- Joe has since -- god. Join serious XM radio in charge of zone channel -- does own channel -- called mad dog radio. He -- an afternoon radio show called mad dog or least heavily to run from two until 7 in the evening to poke Chris how are you more.

that I don't that I like fly solo good high eight I -- what they I would say that is that it didn't realize before -- job five hours. -- serious accept because I voted to -- no other traffic anoint Kevin at the commercials and our is six hours I'm local. So you have to remember when you go on there you only going to win a couple of breaks in our Tony a couple of updates so it 46 minutes of content. Compared to 35 34 the -- WFAN reality you know no -- employed. And yet they you have to be prepared for that what you are prepared for that though. -- ghosts I mean forget the light was okay about that play. Hey guess -- want they have all the NFL's stopped coaches given you really have free rein to do exactly what that.

Now Chris another -- like about a 150 million dollars a year to do this and have your own show but it's also your own channel what does that mean having your own channel.

Well I haven't we haven't watched it yet but it will eventually mean will be a 24 hour. Sports talk channel I am trying to find -- to do that I have found 123. I have -- about 3004 update guys I got to -- host to go right book when I first took this job and August. That bye baby middle of October World Series talent have this straight. I'll probably looking now would generate that this is not that easy you'd be surprised. To go out there and find a lot of young talk show host who have ability. Who you don't want to move to the York. -- that's police station. And the fact that married you know in this economy about the -- are going to -- and -- tell me about a year or so you do if you give them while god I don't really get that but I'd jotted these did you think they'll find out. That they're not as staff what about it would get this show -- that other -- you put it on. What slightly curious -- 44 -- to put it on those states they generate and at 8 o'clock in the morning -- o'clock in 90 o'clock in the morning media that you have sports talk.

Out of there even a we just gave me a free I'll want to advertisements solid and you could have been ready I'd be ready Christopher -- as a -- MS.

It is made they get I've put everybody and -- you'd be surprised a lot of Boston this you know Howard a lot of -- lot of New York. A lot of these these places where he was successful Detroit. -- that's where a lot of this series bases boy -- so idea that caught. Of Red Sox in Tampa. Red Sox Angels. -- Tampa.

hate hate hate the Yankees set people up.

Yeah you don't fight yet he made it -- You know I get a lot of my fans have joy of -- Adopt or how any way they listen to both -- mikes so it's a lot of New York it's a lot of of the northeast presence the.

I -- you get a lot of compliments from listeners but guys. I think the best one the and the one I'm going to give you is that. The friend Sosa show is dreadfully dull without GA gonna last six months without in my Chris.

Well I -- I mean I don't shaped advocate says they've been about -- Anybody. If -- and I stayed or I left and.

Are you carried MM and I wasn't easy because we now about well around he is but that was in the -- carried him for.

I mean EI I think it's personalities scenario it was a nice it was a nice such as you know he has got what they were arguing Award. I made great -- I did think it showed Perillo lack little spark I don't think Mike is going to fiery I. I saw -- we talked for a while I don't think that Mike is going to. Hired fulltime replacement. Idea put together some sort of under the fumble can ask so like I listed. But I mean they've all right now it was time to really -- bottom line is nineteen years. It was time to try those some different you know I don't know would help wasn't but it was it was privately to try those some different. And I got no game rebel comity and -- five year contacts so I don't have. If I want to -- five years or I'd love it's so much I can't stop I can still do it I just thought at this point in my life it was Dominic James Nichols.

Sure they Chris Russo use that even talk enough or were talking back in October Tampa Bay and Boston I guess you'll probably talkin'. Jets pats now is is that what's captured people's imagination throw once once the blue was Kamal -- Favre to the Jets Rose.

I absolutely. I get a lot of mileage out of his game and expect -- a lot of it yesterday. I got a lot of mileage out of his game again New York listeners a lot of people a New England has serious sex them. That you have a situation. Where this would be of this to be a big game for me. Idea same -- in the pages have been a wonderful job you do that Belichick do the job if they get they went ten -- I read Bob Ryan of the interim head. If they get they went 1011 games -- 106 you'd take. You may not -- it now would you would have taken it before when Brady got hurt. I I think this -- much from a franchise standpoint I think is so much bigger game for the Jets. They've got first off the pick Detroit beat a noticeable on all these championships. It suggests. Then gave the Patriots looked at a fixed this year lose first out of playoff I know you don't want to think that now -- pretty darn good -- without Brady the Jets. The -- and Favre. They boarding Calvin Pace. It's been all that -- have Faneca they spent money not Jenkins a dead Jerry Jenkins. Damien Woody they'd spent -- part of money. And they aborted Favre but this kind of game.

And on if they if they lose their two games back essentially are they going to only --

I think the I didn't say huge gave the -- big day but it Jets franchise. If they report are made to win this kind of -- they'd lose this game that the Jets fan knows the best they can expect instead of six. -- Sixth seed and a road games in a postseason -- today I think may a sports fan or doesn't have a dog in a fight by the team my team. But this today huge game -- out I you guys feel about it but what psychological standpoint maintaining the order park this huge game.

The -- they generally speaking what -- people think he'll Favre now -- compare and contrast that with what they were thinking back in early September and that also. Within the context of Chad Pennington and how he's playing.

I think they're pairing -- not a factor I didn't get bands like Chad they -- we gave everything he had but I think -- still was time to make it change you know I know I always. This three way eighteen quarterback -- has worked out perfectly. I mean Packers are happy Rogers despite last Sunday has played well so there okay the -- Dolphins. I mean they needed a quarterback to stabilize things for a young coach you know -- exactly that's so they've they're happy. -- That Favre has not played is well. I think forty bite but a lot of interceptions. And lost that's terrible game that Raiders which release stop. But you know I think this case it is still out there but it just --

We'll really -- this week. When tomorrow night I think it jet fans going to be fine we'll be it will light back next year you think Favre will be their next year to that question. Because I -- available.

He's going to make it yet you know -- may have some but public I think Favre will probably play another year but I've done it before in a lot of ways. So far success for the Jets fans this season is.

And we I think Mike for co wrote a few weeks back it's. About the contrast each week of watching one of the best coaches in the NFL in New York and Tom Coughlin and one of the worst in man -- And I didn't realize his star had fallen that far he's bounced back nicely blame but to wait wins didn't win -- New Yorkers really rate Mangini what do they think of them.

I agree we hit biggest stars sport that far yet I -- I don't want to make a big deal about it but this game tomorrow night. And and -- and Brady -- type of first place so. This game tomorrow night is a you won't -- game. But this franchise type it -- articles to support -- in -- You know pressure very good last year was terrible. And this year you know prior -- the last fired up Buffalo game. What they wanted Buffalo. That the starved for made it would have been very low but they did beat the bills it was forty nothing against the Rams at halftime. So from that standpoint it's been a little better the last couple weeks not say yes. -- so Woody Johnson. Last year at the that the commission as part of Super Bowl. I always New Yorkers say 98 that I would talked with a five minutes -- but I got the impression -- conversation that the commissioner's party there is no way. No way he's never let me getting kind of I'm broke so then the Jad fair might get frustrated well you know what this is ridiculous ticket this -- yet. China's -- of the two of them. They're like the combination. It doesn't have a -- on the money either he loves its ropes so. Now I let the Jets fell off the -- enrollment is just of course he but the -- right. Make it got up and approve I get a goal way to make him happy it would begin tomorrow night.

Chris got nothing your memory needs -- fresh but there's an interesting reading in the Boston Herald and Iran Borges sort of revisit the border war the blood feud between the Jets. And the Patriots and there's something in -- the hero that either Jerry nor I was aware of he says -- listing all the different things Curtis Martin and you know sold us over the goal is being -- lofts you know coming to the Jets now. Man -- being ordered to take a separate flight home from Denver. After the Broncos eliminate the Patriots from the playoffs three years ago because Billick -- knew he was going to take over the bleeping Jets.

Yeah I I heard gunfire continued -- the -- brought it is -- a lot started look at a stop light bright bright Abbott I got sick I heard that. Yeah I don't like the way that sent. That I checked all of fame coach. But yeah this and even a die hard Patriots fan can't like the way. Gotta check -- handled this now listen. Main -- today how -- job but that's spy gate thing because. He wasn't she returned a man. I don't think that was necessary he was obviously fair innuendo what bill has noticed some other teams to and it it also like what's the big deal but I don't like it. But he can -- big deal but let's let that be fair. Project has not handled that means anything as what is it like and we need just. Admitted it that they could feel they what the New York Jets the coach I mean come on I mean I have eight years his protege -- what Beijing David eat. You about football and almost funny discard them another -- and they have the acted.

He'll -- all Cody taught him everything -- and Chris including how to get out from under the shadow of your mentor and get. And the best situation -- do you do at -- quite as head coach.

Not to Belichick -- with the -- well what Parcells yeah though that's a good point. I got -- how did the media in new New England -- a they feel they've they love -- second.

And a sense in his naval remorse. It's like Chris Matthews with a Obama that's so we are a quiet guy that you know I -- he gives us and throw up my leg.

800 champion Oregon and I -- championships.

Yeah AM it you know what and it doesn't matter how he carries himself when you win three titles W yes you can do that does not -- yeah.

where they wanted a great great coach. I don't like the -- handled some things. I do you -- real well cordial ample losses not the most awkward not you may not know it can you give the media how Miami has not be another well case you would be for him oh my god.

Chris. Manny Ramirez has been low ball by the Dodgers and all of -- the latest the script it sit out -- sixty million resulting and he has probably already blown his nose in that offer sheet and I moved gone or will these New York teams the two of them will they be involved here will he land in New York --

I hope I'd be surprised I I don't think so. I you know I have funny I had a writer on from the LA times -- of the -- who told me that the Dodgers it would be got -- that. They off from -- contract that would look good point five million a year. But knowing that they would never find out what they take themselves out of the heat from their fans. I'm making it started have now there isn't I would give Manny for years had a million dollars under any circumstances. I think two years thirty point buy -- a piece. Who each year to meet actually I I do the same thing as a franchise type of genocide that would force. But I don't think the Mets or the Yankees are going to go that direction -- on the right now when all is said and done. The Yankees. This he's he's about -- thing is going to be fast the Yankees are going to spend. That's spent tournament and make -- let him DH. That's if they want to hit. You will the Yankees would do everything they have power they get sabathia now I don't know about you want the play -- New York. I -- that you want -- player -- he says he wants to play in California. Well that's so evident to a couple club. If he can resist the Yankees. I'd be surprised -- the Yankees I would like Joe Torre's foundation there on. Friday night I was that they make a wish foundation -- or the Yankees the week before that in Greenwich Connecticut. So I thought Cashman I saw a lot of Yankee people outside right now the Yankees the good or received it about it anything you put them out of it a lot of money. They go -- about the any -- they're that desperate to get up.

And Chris are they not concerned a little with the there's a lot of mileage on this tire that we may have seen the best of --

Sabathia that I understand that you know we -- free agent pitchers but the Yankees got -- last year -- Santana. They got burned by not making any of the yankees' third place in the division. I ended the month of September Girardi -- a lot of people the wrong way the Hank Steinbrenner the Yankees are desperate to do something.

Chara and they will they laughter will they overwhelm Teixeira is well.

I I'm not -- about that. I think that like 61 base open for posada. Who's coming back what this surgery. I think -- worried about how we catch without shoulder. I don't think there is I think -- make -- offered to share. But I think the Yankees want pitching pitching pitching AJ Burnett I think it can also get and that just one pitcher the Yankees inaudible not the pitching and that. Will be a little more careful. They got a hundred point giving it -- payroll that is I don't think domestic -- the K rod. I'd probably going to get the Bryant went days. But I hate the Mets would be the Derek Lowe type but I don't think either team want Ramirez about it somebody out there are worse. Who will give Manny you know multiple years he would pick American League second DH. But you'd think somebody will give Manny multiple years as if it I don't I guess I get ticket without the Phillies. Because Manuel a lot of them say they have money would blow to believe about that would be a lady hit a hundred home runs and up ballpark. I guess that's possible but I would -- America they command.

Chris I answer this morning and I and I believe as strongly somebody some some village idiots going to even five years and thirty million dollars we -- and -- errors that. I 130 million.

I've been crazy and somebody give me any limit how many would give the Red Sox -- disgrace. I know he's a great hitter but he did a public job -- get bored if they have three year. That is say if somebody that's why don't let the Dodgers I wouldn't say -- knowing he wouldn't sign it but if somebody gave him back -- money that absolutely great.

Speaking speaking of a disgrace. How big was the Isiah overdose story on your airwaves and and secondarily I have people warmed up even a little bit to the New York -- yeah.

Look bad you know they went man but battle I get dispersed that way in hell they lost -- lot in -- I think to have warmed up a little bit and then Tony but it's going to take you know more than a couple weeks. To undo five years and Isiah the Isiah saying. I think most people are shocked me who has sort of -- of the -- nights -- but I but the but nobody commented. What -- core of the core about it. -- or maybe Mike did I I didn't hear it but I did not they have warmed up to again pointed to a degree. But again it's going to take a lot more than four of five wins before the Knicks fan is really back in the --
