It was refreshing to hear Sid Rosenberg's voice on the FAN this afternoon in New York. While Sid thinks that he could be the biggest sports personality in New York if just given the opportunity, he has a long way to go before he usurps Mike Francesa as the preeminent voice for all things sports and non-sports related. Sid may be able to captivate an audience talking baseball, basketball, and football, but can he spend a whole week talking about hedge fund investing and Bernie Madoff ponzi schemes, as if he works at the SEC like Mike Francesa? Sid will have to read up on CDO's and derivatives before he can become a financial guru like Mad Money's
Sid returning to New York is like Josh Hamilton joining the Yankees. Everybody knows that he has the talent to succeed, but will he be able to handle all the distractions that New York has to offer, particularly the fast lane and the nightlife? We know that Sid has experienced indiscretions in the past, so hopefully he can stay away from all the temptations this time around. It will be a tough act to follow given that the only person with more demons in his closet is Trey Webb.
