Phil Mushnick came to Phenom contestant's defense in battle with Craig Carton over lack of reverence

"You didn't learn much from them, right?" - Mike Francesa to Fantasy Phenom contestant Sam Mines after Sam complained that the morning practice with Boomer & Carton did not go as contestants were told it would.

Mines didn't make Craig Carton all warm and fuzzy after he got wind. Carton warned:

A good little memo to the other contestants. You probably not going to do yourself any favors if you take shots at other shows on this radio station. Or you complain about the process of getting through Fantasy Phenom. If you become a finalist and you're already complaining, why would anyone ever hire you?

Later adding, "Maybe Sam Mines was right, I learned nothing on that show. You're also not the Phenom kid, don't show up on April 1st."

Phil Mushnick has come to Mines' rescue:

Leave it to WFAN’s bully-boy, egocentric drive-time hosts to turn a fun thing — a competition for someone to land a gig — into something ugly and mean-spirited, including a nervous young finalist being trashed on the air by Craig Carton for not showing him the full respect he deserves.
