As always, I was honored to be mentioned on WFAN's afternoon show Tuesday, when the hosts credited me with noticing that the station ran an ad for the Grammy Awards on Monday, the day after the show aired.
Chris Russo: "Neil caught him nicely."
Mike Francesa: "Nice job."
Russo: "It's amazing what Best can pick up, I tell ya."
Francesa: "No life. He's got no life. He lets the big things go flying past him. He's got the minutiae down pat; the big things go right by him."
Russo: "He did not pick up the Chris Carlin/Kim Jones shenanigans, which surprised me, because that's been all over the place. He did not pick that up."
Francesa: "Where was that all over the place?"
Russo: "Not in the newspapers, but at the station it's been all over the place."
Two things:
1. Francesa is right on about my skewed perception of realty, but he's way late. Fellow Giants beat writer Kevin Manahan of the Star-Ledger dubbed me "Mr. Minutiae" almost a decade ago.
2. After accusing me of focusing on minutiae, Mike and Chris spent 20 minutes dissecting the alleged Carlin/Jones feud.
But enough about that. Roger is giving his opening statement. He sounds angry . . . !

Pot, meet kettle.
Frances should never talk about the big things ...
as he has to be weighed on special machines, rather than the scales available at Bed Bath and Beyond.
Neil- where's my props for being the first one to point out that Francesa and Russo were discussing you? Also, I'm still waiting for my "smarter than Glauber" trophy
