Exactly right. He'd been dodging questions all show. When I was walking home earlier, he dodged a different question. "something I will answer" "I'll address it later" Someone asks you a question. You can answer it. If you refuse to answer, just make it clear that you're not going to answer questions because you're Mike Francesa, and you get to do whatever you want. Enough of the non-answer BS. Plus, asking someone "Will they win?" is a question that can only be answered by "I think they have a good chance" or something similar. Only an idiot would say "They will definitely will" or "they will lose. They have no chance." So questions that can be answered easily, he dodges, but demands people answer impossible questions like "Will the Jets win on Sunday?" If I had a yes or no answer, I guess I would go to a sportsbook and make a killing, because I apparently can see the future.
This is his formula for portraying callers/fans as "lunatics." His loaded questions are structured in a way that your answer will either prove him right (the response he seeks and wants you to say) or make you look like a fool (also a response he seeks). But when someone says something he doesn't know or expect or throws a wrench into his formula's spokes, he just cuts them off and scurries along to the next caller. For example, the guy who showed him up with the switching from Zone to Man comment.
I never listened to 1050 much (I do now since Francesa has become a joke) but I think she's been very good this evening, and was good with Cotchery. She knows more than Kay.
francesa is such a tard he puts the saints/colts helmets right in front of him and says dont read anything into it
What a dick, he has the saints and colts helmet right in front of him and he says well I dont know how these got here, dont read too much into it, but these will stay right here for now, and then he picks up the jets ball and reads their years of division titles and superbowl win and then he puts it next to the vikings helmet saying thats where this belongs, basically calling a saints colts superbowl, with the biggest shit eating grin on his face, what a DICK!!
Caller wants to give his opinion of the turning point -- the INT and ensuing TD to Keller because 3 points wouldn't have been good enough. Fucktard agreed, but just couldn't go 1 minute without hammering home the fact that SD had five Personal Foul penalties.
that guy just put francesa in his place and he hung up on him. Why he hung up on him? Because the guy said he thought the jets would of won that game vs the colts like they won vs SD. I guess opinions are illegal on his communist show.
can someone explain to him players dont play at "half speed" theres no such fucking thing. This guy prolly has never ran in his life. His knees fell off because of carrying his weight.
People saying the Jets could've won the first matchup, and now he's saying "I DON'T WANNA HEAR THAT; IT'S INSULTING TO THE COLTS." douchebag extraordinare.
You know what? How ironic would it be that the Colts gave up the perfect season to the Jets, and then the Jets whip their little mid-western, Indiana butts? Oh, I am sooo looking forward to Sunday's game. This one calls for the fetal position on the living room floor.
Wait...you're saying Francesa is picking two home favorites? I don't believe it. What's next? He's going to pick Duke to win? Tiger Woods? Wow, he's the fearless forcaster.
The guy is an asshole because he's committed himself now to a point where he needs to commit suicide if the Jets win on Sunday. There's no other way out for him.
I want him to step up and say the Jets have no shot.. ZERO shot on beating the Colts... like he did after week 16. But of course if the Jets win he will come on and have tons of excuses and say its Manning's down day and it wasn't the defense.
I cant even remembah da last 9-7 team to make a Supah Bowl. Nevahmind da fact dat da Cahds were 9-7 just last yeah
I got home and watched him say this on YES. Is he serious. Insultng to the Colts? Isn't he supposed to avoid revealing comments like this.
i never really listen to him, but in 2007 playoffs was he shitting on the giants as much as he is on us?
I'm not sure how serious he is/isn't because, as has been stated ad nauseam, his shtick is too push fans' buttons to boost ratings. Thing is, his extreme opinions are only digging the potential hole deeper for him if the Jets somehow win; he'll continue to lose credibility and will get flamed by callers for five straight hours.
