Michael Kay opened his first YES Network simulcast on Monday with a not-so veiled shot at Mike Francesa.
Kay tossed a Diet Coke, Francesa’s signature beverage, into a garbage can held up by co-host Don La Greca. Neither Kay nor La Greca referenced what they were doing, but the message was clear.
Francesa said on his show that he expects to be back on TV by April 1 after his relationship with YES ended on Jan. 31. MSG has been rumored landing spot for the show.
Francesa fired back at Kay in an interview with Newsday’s Neil Best.
“Classless, loser move from two guys I have been burying in the ratings for over a decade,” he told the paper.
