Normally I'm not a Francesa guy. Most times I find him smug, rude to too many callers who don't deserve it, and not nearly as knowledgeable about baseball or sports in general as he thinks he is. But one thing Mike does better than anybody is on-air interviews, especially when he's trying to use that interview to steer the conversation somewhere else, and he killed it yesterday with Bill Madden on the A-Rod steroid story.
If you haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, you can check out the whole thing here. It's pretty lengthy and the first 15 minutes or so are just recapping what's already happened. It starts getting good in the middle and it was pretty obvious that Mike had an axe to grind with Madden and the NY MSM in general for how they've singled out A-Rod and outlandishly run him through the mud. The continued questioning about Madden's comparison of A-Rod to Whitey Bulger without any real justification for that from Madden and the heated nature of their exchange about the other names on that unreleased list of 100 players were great.
There hasn't been nearly enough of this in the New York media, so kudos to Francesa for taking Madden and really the rest of the MSM A-Rod haters with him to task yesterday. Sorry, Bill. You got roasted, bro.

The fat bastard asked Madden a question then kept interrupting while he tried to answer.
He may know his diet coke but he sucks as an interviewer
Let me guess. You hate A-Rod and you read and enjoy every A-Rod smear piece, don't you?
I was happy that someone questioned one of these reporters. I am so sick of this mob mentality. We know haters love to hate, and the NYDN and NYP have turned it into a feeding frenzy, where facts are secondary and inciting the uninformed masses is priority. Bill Madden also said that Arod would never play another game as a Yankee...
