But come nightfall, the station’s afternoon show and the Giants were engaged in a feud that went public on social media.
It started with host Mike Francesa announcing both in an appearance on his app and a post on Twitter that for the first time in his three decades at the station, he would not be visiting Giants camp.
The reason, he said, was the Giants declining to make general manager Dave Gettleman available for an interview.
