Proof that Opie is a **much** bigger douche than Mike Francesa.
3 2015-12-04 by [deleted]
Lets look at the evidence:
1) Mike Francesa and his ex-radio partner Chris Russo are still friends. They actually joined their two shows yesterday in order to promote a special "Mike and the Mad Dog" reunion charity event. The on-air chemistry is still there, and they clearly miss working with each other. The only issue that keeps them from working together is financial, they would both have to take major pay-cuts to make it happen.
2) When an entirely new, and younger demographic started listening to his show because of the viral gaffes, and started goofing on him. Mike had the self-awareness to embrace them, attend their fan conventions, and promote their charity t-shirts, even though most of the jokes were at his expense.
Meanwhile, everyone that has ever worked with Opie seems to hate his him, and he has a complete inability to take a joke.

You are arguing a point that no one anywhere disagrees with. "Guys The Beatles were a pretty good band... no wait hear me out, seriously."

Mike Francesa is at least accidentally funny sometimes. You can't even say that about Opie.

He's also managed to keep most of his listeners after he split with his radio partner.
You can't say that about Tits either.

But you guys, Opie guides the conversations... his radio experience lets him know when a topic has gone on for too long. Period.
