Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is the Mad Dog?

Answer: Chris Russo

"Mike and the Mad Dog," is a terrific show which is broadcast from 1 to 6:30 PM.

2. Who hosts the Sports Edge?

Answer: Wolff

The Sports Edge is a program hosted on Saturday Mornings from 8 to 9 AM. It focuses on issues facing children and high school students who play sports.

3. What time is "Joe Benigno" on?

Answer: 10 AM- 1 PM

Joe Benigno, the overnight success that he is (a Steve Somersism) was moved to the midmorning show after the departure of Jody McDonald in 2004.

4. What Major League Baseball team does WFAN carry?

Answer: New York Mets

May Bob Murphy, the great Mets broadcaster, live forever. After his retirement, Gary Cohen, Howie Rose, Ted Robinson, and Ed Coleman will call it all on the Fan.

5. What NFL Team does WFAN Carry?

Answer: New York Giants

Although I am a die hard New York Jet fan, Bob Papa, Dick Lynch and Dave Jennings have a good call on the game.

6. What NHL team does the Fan carry?

Answer: New Jersey Devils

The fan broadcasted Rangers' games until the 2004 season, when the Rangers were signed by WEPN. As of this quiz, the fan has never broadcasted a New Jersey Devils game on account of the NHL strike.

7. What NBA team does the Fan carry?

Answer: New Jersey Nets

Similarly with hockey, the fan broadcasted Knicks games until 2004. It now carries the New Jersey Nets, and Chris Carrino and Tim Capstraw have the call.

8. What College Football team does WFAN carry?

Answer: Notre Dame

I have never understood this. Notre Dame is in Indiana somewhere, so why are we here in New York supposed to care about Notre Dame?

9. What College Basketball team does the Fan carry?

Answer: None of these

Although the Fan carries March Madness on Westwood One, the Fan does not carry a college basketball team.

10. Who is the Schmoozer?

Answer: Steve Somers

I live by the "Schmooze." Steve Somers is an incredibly funny presence on the Fan, despite his consistent and ruthless Islander bashing.
