FranDog reunion sticks to

FranDog paced in opposite directions. Russo dressed in black. Francesa, wearing a black shirt and tan pans (which he often hoisted from behind) swigging from his trademark label-less bottle of cola.

Who knows what they were actually thinking about when they looked to the top of Radio City and saw all those eyeballs staring back at them.

“Through all the fights, maybe three or four, we lasted through thick and thin,” Francesa said.

They continued pacing in opposite directions.

Coughlin left the door open to doing some TV next season. “I’m looking at a couple of things,” he said.
