WFAN's Mike Francesa rips 'Boomer and Gio' morning show, says it 'stinks'

The Great WFAN War may finally be upon us.

Mike Francesa ripped into the sports talk radio station's morning show Wednesday, saying the "Boomer and Gio" show "stinks" and declaring co-host Gregg Giannotti "short on ability."

The salvos come after Giannotti and co-host Boomer Esiason have long poked fun at Francesa and criticized him at times on their show. Giannotti frequently does impersonations of Francesa on the air.

Francesa also suggested an already-known discussion between Giannotti and midday co-host Chris Carlin - one that both men acknowledged on air was somewhat contentious at the start after Carlin objected to a line in Giannotti's comedic song about WFAN's ongoing standoff with Knicks and Rangers owner James Dolan - had in fact been a physical altercation.
