Or, more accurately, Maura Johnston hails the excellent photoshop work (above) that accompanied the following press release from satellite radio’s newly merged-monopoly :
‘MAD DOG’ JOINS SIRIUS XM RADIO
It will revolutionize how you listen to sports talk when Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo is unleashed beginning September 15!
Chris Russo™s loyal fan base will be amped up to hear him back on the air with The Mad Dog Sports Show on SIRIUS Ch. 123, weekdays from 2 pm – 7 pm ET. And newcomers to the Mad Dog experience will feed off of his high-energy passion and in-your-face approach to sports talk. Plus, Russo will soon surround himself with other like-minded sports personalities when he creates Mad Dog Radio, the ultimate destination to get breaking news and high-profile interviews
Earlier today on CNBC, it was claimed that SIRIUS 123 would be redubbed “Mad Dog Radio”, and what rational person wouldn’t want to pay a subscription service to hear Russo, 24-7? In all seriousness, who are these “other like-minded sports personalities” and how can I make certain none of them have moved to my neighborhood or have set up shop near a school or house of worship?
Had Mike Francesca been the one to jump ship and sign with Sirius/XM, I suspect his new publicity photo would look something like this.
Plus timeslotingly, Francesspool and Dog will going head to head against each other!
I didn’t hop when Howard left the planet and there’s no way I’m following the Dog.
Farewell, Doggie.
That is good photoshop work. They’ve made him look every bit as handsome as…uh, Skip Bayless.
I am going to follow him to Sirius.
I’m not joking.

i actually am looking forward to it, got sirius when stern went over, and still swithed over to 660am in the afternoons, i think i own the same shirt as him, got it @ kohls
“who are these “other like-minded sports personalities†”
Mike North is certainly available. Unless he considers this to be the unwavering new direction of his career.
