Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo and Mike Francesa haven't appeared publicly on-air together – outside of a brief reunion years ago – since their show, 'Mike and the Mad Dog' ended in 2008. That changes Wednesday.
"I believe in paying homage to people that paved the way for me," Smith told USA TODAY Sports on Monday. "If there's ever a time that I would be more than happy to step back and let them go at it if it came to that, that's certainly not a problem that I have."The idea of sports talk radio was a novelty at the time their show took off. The way the two hosts went back and forth was what caught Smith's attention.
"I said to them, 'It would be an honor,'"Smith said."These guys jump-started sports debate as far as I'm concerned." "With my luck, they'll probably end up ganging up on me, which might not be the prettiest thing in the world for me. And I'll wear all of that." While Smith was between stints at ESPN, from 2009 to 2011, Francesa was sure to credit Smith for being on top of the LeBron James-Dwyane Wade-Chris Bosh trio joining the Miami Heat. Smith never forgot it, even though he has more of a relationship with Russo.
