After 19 years of sports radio, the Mike and the Mad Dog show could be coming to an end.
There's been rumors that the two hosts, Mike Francesa and Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo have been feuding off air and that the strained partnership is the reason for the show's demise. Russo, on the other hand, denies that the show is coming to an end.
"That is news to me," he told Newsday.com. "I have not heard that... That is fascinating information."
"The only thing I can say is I am signed under contract for another year and a half. I don't think WFAN is going to let me out of that... I wish I had leverage like that."
Russo did, however, acknowledge that there have been issues in their working relationship.
"I think we've been going through that," but he added, "I think we've been fine the last couple of months."
Russo is under contract until 2009 but it's unknown whether Francesa signed an extension.
