Greatest sports rant ever?

[TZ]

If you have 10 minutes you HAVE to listen to Mike Francesa's absolutely epic rant about the Mets:

1. That was great!

2. It just warms the cockles of my heart! n/m

3. That was good ... and brings to mind the great Pete Franklin

I recall a Franklin rant while he was on Cleveland's WWWE in the early 1970s. He tore into the Indians in similar fashion, aiming particularly at GM Phil Seghi and owner Nick Mileti ("PHIL SEGHI STINKS! ... NICK MILETI STINKS!&quot .

Franklin also worked at WFAN in New York City and KNBR in San Francisco.

Anyone else remember him?

Recall his time in NYC.

Here's an article about the history of WFAN....lot of great stuff about Franklin, as well as Francesa....

7. Thanks for the link. You got to like anyone who calls G. Steinbrenner a scumbag.

4. Yeah, but just wait until someone gets a good rant out there about the Red Sox

and their pathetic season...I bet that will challenge this one!

5. Michael Felger....

....but he doesn't rant, he just gut punches them for four hours.

8. I'm waiting for the rant when the Sox don't win another game all year...

Have you seen their remaining schedule? It's against teams they have not done well against all year...of course, that's pretty much everyone!

9. I think they'll go about .500 though

Some of these guys will see the move as a serious wakeup call that they cannot mail in the remainder of the season as they have been doing the last month and have to play hard to save their jobs. Ortiz is not going to play again this year though, and the team is just not that good in reality, so it will be a long September still. And the front office will have to jump hoops to keep up the nonsense of the bullshit sellout streak.
