'Mad Dog' Russo Is A Fraud Who Deserves To Be Fired Off The Air And Possibly Thrown In Prison

ICYMI: That WACKY MAD DOG, a NY radio host who has zero affiliations with the Diamondbacks or Philadelphia areas/franchises/fanbases, said he would retire if Arizona came back down 2-3 in a 7-game series. OK. A little weird, but I respect the hell out of a national baseball presence having enough confidence in his takes they would literally put their money/livelihood where their mouth is. Even if his contract is expiring and he's just looking for any excuse to ride out into the sunset, I tip my cap to the move. And then doubling down on it for Game 7? Man! That Mad Dog is foaming at the mouth! What a man of honor! 

The Diamondbacks won, of course, and were chanting "Retire Mad Dog" while popping champagne bottles proving Russo, WHO HAS ZERO AFFILIATION WITH ARIZONA AND PHILLY, gave the Diamondbacks tons of motivation/bulletin board material throughout the series. 

Damn. RIP Mad Dog. Not only rightfully embarrassed in the clubhouse but is now forced into retirement because THAT'S WHAT HE SAID WOULD HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES IF THE DIAMONDBACKS WON. Good on Mad Dog for being a man of his word. 

Oh, wait, of course Russo promptly went on Howard Stern this morning to say he's not going to retire. 

What. The. Fuck. 

So you're telling me this over the hill boomer assface was just joking? I don't get it. I sincerely don't. People are saying this is just radio and a bit, what's the fucking bit? You can just say whatever you want and make the wackiest takes/bets possible and not be held accountable? Screw retiring now. His bosses need to fire him off Sirius before handing him over to the Philly faithful to (figuratively) tar and feather him down Broad St. This isn't fun and games, man. You went out of your way to insert yourself in this misery. You messed with our lives. I want blood restitution.

Guess you can just say anything and backtrack the instant it doesn't favor you. Let me go on the record right now to say that if the Philadelphia Eagles don't win the Super Bowl I will castrate myself live on air, eat my own organs, and then jump off the Brooklyn Bridge literally dickless. Mark it down! Watch Picks Central everyday from here until January because my dick, nay, my life is actually on the line! Wacky wacky wacky! Be sure to tune in because, like "Mad Dog" Russo's ultimate word, it's going to go down!
