On Thursday’s edition of the Mike Francesa Show, Francesa responded to the vicious takedown of him by Michael Kay on Wednesday. Francesa’s response wasn’t nearly as bombastic as Kay’s assault, but solid in its content. A dismissive hand wave from high on top his self-made throne…

-“I’m not worried about people that are petty, jealous, or whatever”
-“If they want to match resumes, they have to match three things: longevity, ratings, paychecks. They wanna look at any of those areas, I’ll match ’em any time”
-“I don’t take it seriously because I don’t have any respect for where it’s coming from”
-“I’ve never mentioned any other station. I do not do that. Because you know? I’ve never even noticed them. They’ve even been on the landscape as far as I’m concerned. I can’t even see them in the rear-view mirror.”
