We learn that Mets fan Joe Benigno did not watch the Mets game if he didn't hear about Wally Backman's firing until the next morning. Eddie Coleman reported it before Mike's show was over yesterday. Except for the Jets, Joe follows sports by reading the Daily News and New York Post.
WFAN host Joe Benigno talks to Darryl Strawberry about his baseball career on the StubHub Stage in the Adorama Live Theatre. August 18, 2016.
Here's a tribute to the golden era of WFAN, before the days of 101.9 and FM broadcasting. Just when it was good old 660 AM and 50,000 Watts. Imus was still on the air, Mike and the Mad Dog, and the Mets. These are the sounds I grew up with. Some of these were rarely used so hearing them now is wild, but most of these are the classic ones we've known all these years, until they brought in the new jingles [sigh] in January 2014.

The two sports talk radio pioneers sit down and catch up for a half hour, with topics ranging from the Yankees, Derrick Rose, and the NBA Finals, the former duo also made sure to shoutout the fans who've voted for them as they seek induction into the National Radio Hall Of Fame.
Mike Francesa takes over from Imus at about 1:23 PM, EDT. Chris Russo was unable to get to the Astoria based studio that day from his CT home (though there is no mention of him during the broadcast). Suzyn Waldman, who witnessed the second plane strike while stuck in traffic on the bridge joins Mike in the studio later.
Here's the intro rant on WFAN's Midday show as 2 Jets fans, Joe Benigno & Evan Roberts vent their frustration over the Jets blowing an opportunity to make the NFL Playoffs with a 22-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills on 1/3/16 in Western NY combined with a Pittsburgh Steelers 28-12 win over the hapless Cleveland Browns. Ohhh the pain!!!

Monsters that trinkle like cats in the night
The cosmic conceiver continues his plight
A war of the heavens, what's wrong and what's right
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
Spraying the children with incense and myrrh
The hopeless confessions of minds unsure
Spraying the children with incense and myrrh
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
I tried to come over and see you today
I tried to come over to want you to say
I wanted you say to come today
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
Mindlessly hoping she falls for their minds
Holding the sacraments, secrets unkind
Chewing the curdles of cream from the rain
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
Chewing the grits...
Right to the ways and the rules of the world
