Mike And The Mad Dog

Mike and the Mad Dog might be done

All good things must come to an end. That old saying is true even, it appears, for the popular "Mike and the Mad Dog" show. Word has it that the breakup is due to the fact that the show's costars just can't stomach each other any longer.

Over the weekend, Newsday reporter Neil Best suggested the wildly popular and successful 'Mike and the Mad Dog' radio show could be finished. According to radio industry sources, Mike Francesa and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo haven't been getting along well enough to continue their afternoon program on WFAN.
While Russo and radio station WFAN, deny the rumors (Francesa refused to comment), Best cites staffers witnessing the pair fight and "subtle" signs "such as Francesa declining to ask Russo how he is after Russo had opened the show by inquiring into Francesa's well-being." Russo said to Best, "I think we've been going through [some strains]...I think we've been fine the last couple of months."

Seeing that the pair is rumored to make over $1 million each (in Radio, for cryin' out loud), it's hard to believe they're seeking greener pastures. But hating your co-worker can make people do some strange things.
