Mike Francesa opened his show on Tuesday by congratulating his associate producer Chris McMonigle on the birth of his second son, before railing about how the program started a couple minutes late because WFAN didn’t have an understudy ready and lamenting that McMonigle could be out for several months because of new paternity leave rules.

Francesa went on and on about it, before saying it wasn’t an issue with McMonigle, but WFAN being “cheap” in not having someone ready to fill in for this circumstance. It is another sign that Francesa’s reunion with WFAN may or may not be long with this world.
