Michael Kay feels ‘more pressure’ to win ratings war against Craig Carton

It’s more fun being the hunter than the hunted.

That’s how Michael Kay feels about the ESPN New York–WFAN afternoon radio war now that Craig Carton is in the driver’s seat at Kay’s rival instead of Mike Francesa. Kay surpassed longtime No. 1 Francesa in 2019 before Francesa retired. But Carton, who returned to WFAN after a three-year absence – which included one year in federal prison for fraud – won the winter ratings book with partner Evan Roberts.
