For several years, he also hosted the radio pre-game shows for New York Giants home games.
Rosenberg is no stranger to controversy. Among other things, he would say on-air that Venus and Serena Williams would be better suited for National Geographic Magazine than for Playboy, that "faggots play tennis" and that the U.S. Women's Soccer Team were "a bunch of juiced up dykes." He would eventually be removed from the Imus show in May 2005, after saying in regard to Kylie Minogue's battle with breast cancer, that "She won't look so pretty when she's bald with one titty."

Rosenberg would leave WFAN altogether on September 12, 2005. He did so after failing to show up to host the Giants' pre-game show on September 11, 2005 (he made an appearance for FHM in Atlantic City that weekend). As a result of the no-show, management at WFAN gave him the option to resign from the station, which he did. The New York Post reported that he would likely have been fired if he did not resign.
Rosenberg is the cousin of Minnesota senator Norm Coleman.
