Giants Talk and Eli Talk

Ralph Vacchiano joined us last night to talk Giants with us. But, perhaps more importantly, as he's a very good friend of the show, we're more than happy to mention that he's got a brand new book out called The Making of a Quarterback about Eli Manning. It features a foreword by Ernie Accorsi.

Our interview with Ralph went for 50+ commercial-free minutes of nothing but Giants talk and can be found at http://hosted.filefront.com/patchyfogg

And, for those in the listening area, Ralph will be doing a book signing at the Book Revue in Huntington on Wednesday September 24th at 7PM.

Neil Best Joins Us Tonight at 10PM

Neil Best, Newsday's Media Watchdog Extraordinaire, joins us tonight to talk all things Sports Media. But, first, we'd like to award him a Victory Lap for breaking--and then sticking with--the Mike & The Mad Dog divorce story.

We'll also delve into Newsday now being owned by Cablevision, the NFL Network, the Olympics and a ton of other relevant topics.

Of course, now that our new co-host is named Mike, we can safely say that we're the only Mike & Chris still working as a team in New York Sports Radio--albeit in a completely commercial-free, no one making a dime from it capacity, that is.

Thanks to All of Our August Guests

Before we get too deep into September, I just want to publicly thank the following for joining us during the month of August:

Bob Nightengale, National Baseball Writer for USA Today
Kat O'Brien, Yankees Beat Reporter for Newsday
Will Carroll of The Baseball Prospectus
Brian Bassett of The Jets Blog
Matt Cerrone of Mets Blog

While we're not yet webcast, we'll get the audio up at http://hosted.filefront.com/patchyfogg
