Did he or didn't he say something somewhat anti-Semitic about Jews on the day or day after 9/11/01?

I was in the middle of typing the post below when you commented.

Aside from the fact that he's a terrible radio host, Mike is also... not exactly anti-semitic, but something like that. After 9/11, he suggested that US support for Israel was the root cause of the attacks and started demanding of Jewish Americans that called in that they declare their allegiance to America over Israel before he would allow them to continue (forum discussion about it - link; Phil Mushnick article referencing the incident - link).

that's what they say, but supposedly WFAN destroyed the tapes or won't release.

Almost nothing worse than listening to an interview and hearing his breathing in the background.

Everyone "hates" Mike yet he utterly destroys everyone in the ratings and is by far the most talked about sports radio personality on social media

I would say that its more of a case of people not liking him personally but loving his show

bec he has the prime time slot. And there's not any competition.

He's tops in the time slot

Who's Radio show is more entertaining?

I like(d) Dino Costa and he's a real Anti-Semite.

Pity he's gone. Hope he resurfaces elsewhere

exactly my point. If there was some1 else, he wouldn't be so popular. It's by default.
many ppl feel he is arrogant, pompous a**

Doesn't Michael Kay have a show on ESPN radio? That's not competition? I happen to think he's quite good.

Mike and mike in the morning are great.
I hate Colin cowherd. Mad dog is OK. Dan Patrick is a good listen. Hate schein on sports.
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Michael k is on at 4 I believe, mine Francesca starts at 1.
So I'll rephrase; there's no competition during the prime time hours

Michael Kay is on from 3:00 to 7:00 and Francesa is on from 1:00 to 6:30. That constitutes competition during prime hours.
