Raissman Struggles to Live in Francesa's Shadow

Bob Raissman of The Daily News went out of his way to write an article bashing Mike Francesa's analysis of this week's Giants-Eagles football game.  I understand that Raissman clearly has a vendetta out against Francesa, but what exactly does it stem from?  Did Francesa not play nice with Raissman as a child?  If that is the case, maybe Raissman should stop acting like a petulant child by referring to Mike Francesa as "the Sports Pope," and instead try to usurp him as the go to voice for NY sports by improving his own analysis.  

Rather, Raissman prefers to dissect every minute of Mike'd Up with pen and paper in hand, and then proceed to write an article that rips a few points Francesa raises over the course of a five hour show.  Unfortunately, writing an article that disagrees with the viewpoint of a sports talk radio host does not make Raissman a better sports reporter.  It only makes him look as if he cannot contribute any fresh content of his own.
