The former longtime WFAN host is facing some criticism after what he said on his SiriusXM program Friday. Getting into it with a caller who challenged him on why their were no African American hosts on his channel, Russo said, "Don't you think if we thought there was a black sports talk show host who knew what was going on and who wanted the job here with us, you don't think we'd put the person on? What do you think we're crazy?" Russo was trying to make the overall point that it's difficult for anyone to do three hours of compelling sports talk, however, he certainly stepped in it quote a bit when he started off his rant, and when he ended it with this statement: "No tape has run by my desk from a black host who I would deem worthy of doing a national sports talk radio program."
