2016 was an epic year in sports, which made for some quality sports talk radio. This year was the most I’ve ever listened to the sports pope and I felt compelled to put all the classic Zaun calls/moments together in one place, as Mike Francesa goes into his last year with WFAN (But he doesn’t want to talk about it now). Take a look at my top 12 list below, and let me know if I missed anything.
*** Shoutout To my Brother Jon and Cousin Big Joe For Helping Me Create The List***
