Chris Russo, the outspoken sports talk host, recently erupted over the New York Mets’ refusal to accommodate his son, Colin Russo, during a live broadcast from the Mets’ spring training facility. Colin, who co-hosts Russo and Rizzo Show on ESPN West Palm Beach, was attempting to interview a Mets player but was told all player schedules were full. Chris Russo was livid, using his Mad Dog Unleashed SiriusXM show to criticize the Mets for their lack of cooperation, claiming it was unreasonable to deny a simple interview with less prominent players. Russo emphasized his frustration, stating that it was typical of the Mets’ PR team and vowed never to root for them again. The incident sparked a comparison to LeBron James’ involvement in his son Bronny’s career, highlighting Russo’s conflicting stance on nepotism in sports media.
