Default Mike Francesa on WFAN..

Anyone hear how ignorant he is about rules. Complaining that the refs held up 1 play and does not to hear the rule that if the offense substitutes the defense is allowed to substitute. Says if offense is ready to snap they shouldnt be stopped from that..Hilarious.
Also says the giants WRs are going to have a lot of fun vs the pats D in the fast track in indy

Given everything we've seen this year, tell me why the Giants WR's shouldn't have alot of fun against our secondary.

Francessa is one of the very best in the business.

True, and is as arrogant (if not more so) as he says BB is. BIASED.

Greetings,
That was my first thought when the field goald went in for Giants. Cruz is already dominant on grass, and Nicks is playing near Pro-Bowl level himself. Given the issues with the secondary this season, it is very logical to come to that conclusion. Shoot Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin had a field day themselves yesterday.

I didn't hear specifically what you are talking about, but you took one incident and made it general.

It's entirely possible that you're right on one specific item, but Francessa is excellent at his job overall.

Francessa hates BB and the Pats, he is a friend of Parcells (they have owned race horses together) and freaked out when BB left the Jets. BB won't go on the show (he has gon on the show with Joe B). So he will rip the Pats whenever possible.

Maybe he knows a lot about football, but I can confirm his knowledge of many other sports he covers is abysmal. if that's one of the best, they should shut radio down. He sucks.
