Pompous prick Michael Francesa told Brian Cashman not to apologize to a WFAN caller Mike had dumped

Phil Mushnick writes, "On Tuesday, [Mike] Francesa threatened to surpass his previous standards for pompous, imperious conduct when he suddenly dumped a caller, “John,” to conduct his regular session with “Cash,” known to the serfs in the Kingdom of Francesspool as Yankees general manager Brian Cashman." Cashman apologized to John...to which Francesa replied, "That's OK, don't worry about him."



That kind of rude, safe from the studio act, never gets old. Let's see fatty try that act with a real man in his local pub. Of course he wouldn't - because he'd get popped.

Mush continues:

Such an arrogant, cold-hearted slap at his listeners — Francesa (dis)regards them all as John — didn’t quite fit his soulful, on-air self-evaluation, last September:

“I’ve always done a classy show. There’s a way people should be treated, and that’s incredibly important to me.”

...

Hmm. Lemme think … Wait a second. Why not just stop calling!?

Not a boycott, but as a matter of self-determination and self-respect. Why wait on hold, thank him “for taking my call,” speak some secondary homage — “love the show” — only to be treated like what flies out of the back of garbage trucks?

He can’t abuse callers if there are none. Of course, if there were no more callers, “Let’s Be Honest” could explain, “I don’t take calls, anymore” — failing to add, “because I don’t get any.”

Years ago we implored you guys to call in...with prank calls. And we'll reiterate that request today. Go get him.
