Mushnick has the best Michael Kay joke you'll hear this week (& rips Comcast to boot)

Phil Mushnick today:

Reader Robert Bogert, The Bronx, writes that he’s disappointed Michael Kay, now that his ESPN NY Radio show is simulcast on YES, doesn’t conclude it by noting that it lasted “an unmanageable 3 hours and 30 minutes.”

Phil goes on to say what we've said for years: Shannon Sharpe was getting better but you needed a SAP button to understand him.

If ESPN’s self-promotion plan is to make itself easily ridiculed, it’s working. From reader Richard Matzinger: “ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Tony Gonzalez will replace Shannon Sharpe and Dan Marino on CBS, according to a CBS press release.”

I didn’t think Sharpe was half bad. On those occasions when he could be understood, he occasionally had a thoughtful point of view. Still, one wonders if CBS knew he had diction issues before it hired him.

Hehe, diction.

Finally, in response to our ongoing This is Comcast XFINITY: The Future of Awesome, Unfortunately the Crap of Now saga, Mushnick notes, "This Comcast-Time Warner merger. Hmmm. Can’t recall ever talking to a satisfied Comcast subscriber. But since when would those who approve such mega corporate marriages care about that?"

Indeed.
