Wright and Church Stand Up to Bully Francesa

Great job by David Wright and Ryan Church for not going on Mike Francesa?s show today. The Francesa rant afterwards also was uncalled for. Mike can say all he wants that it ?doesn?t matter? if Wright or Church go on his show - in reality it does. The list of individuals who are tired of ...
