He's completely clueless about Twitter. It's comical.
, he gets interviewed in the studio by three longtime callers: Al from White Plains, Denny from Yonkers and Mike from Montclair. He says he doesn't need Twitter because he doesn't care what someone is having for lunch.
What a buffoon.Yeah, Mike. That's the only thing on Twitter. What people are having for lunch. Hang it up, Pops.

Of course he doesn't. He can't even stay awake for his own show!
Perfect.You probably would have loved this forum http://mikefrancesa.com/forums a few years ago. They ripped on Mike and Chris to no end, and the impersonations were hilarious. But now it seems like a ghost town.Raider Nation said:

Here is a classic one of Francesa (they called him Tank) taking the stand aka Col. Jessup http://www.mikefrancesa.com/forums/showthread.php?p=206290&post206290:I remember that place.Some of the written impersonations were outstanding.

Hawwwwvey is getting smacked around pretty good. His biggest (in every way imaginable) cheerleader won't like this one bit!

I'm nowhere near NYC and I have the most posts in this thread.
His show is carried on the YES Network, and WFAN is carried on several smartphone apps. Francesa is WAY more than regional.

Best thing about that place were the user names. My personal fav was "Checker on a checker"I remember that place.

Was just listening while I was out and he made at least three references to Idzik refusing to come on. Has he already had a falling out with Idzik or just part of the larger Jets hatred of him that pre-dates his arrival?

I don't see how this is inconsistent with anything Francesa said unless he praised the Cardinals and Titans for making those picks. If you called in and asked him he'd probably say the Cardinals and Titans were stupid to take guards that high.Raider Nation said:This guy is the gift that keeps on giving.
Francesa is NEVER WRONG, part 22,143.
I had this one tucked into my notebook for safe keeping. Several weeks ago, he dismissed a kindly fellow who suggested that the Jets take one of the two fantastic guards with their 1st-round pick. Mike was good enough to scold this man in a loud voice ... "YOU DON'T TAKE A GAWDDDD IN THE TOP HALF OF THE FIRST ROUND!!!"
Yeah, either that or you take TWO of them in the Top-10.
1. Chiefs - Eric Fisher - OT - Central Michigan
2. Jaguars - Luke Joeckel - OT - Texas A&M
3. Dolphins - Dion Jordan - DE/OLB - Oregon
4. Eagles - Lane Johnson - OT - Oklahoma
5. Lions - Ezekiel Ansah - DE - BYU
6. Browns - Barkevious Mingo - OLB - LSU
7. Cardinals - Jonathan Cooper - OG - North Carolina
8. Rams - Tavon Austin - WR - West Virginia
9. Jets - Dee Milliner - CB - Alabama
10. Titans - Chance Warmack - OG - Alabama
I gave Mushnick a heads up. Hopefully he has some column space available.

Let's look at the scenario another way. Let's say the Jets were considering a kicker in round 1 and Francesa says "you never take a kicker in round 1" and then Oakland takes a kicker in the first round. This doesn't somehow magically makes Francesa's point wrong in this instance.
Not saying Francesa isn't often ridiculous. And he frequently says one thing and then months later says the opposite. That's been proven time an again. But it's not like he's the only talking head out there that believes in the orthodoxy that you don't spend a top-15 pick on a Guard.

There has never been a bigger know-it-all in the history of mankind, and the most frustrating thing about it is, when he gets called on wrong/stupid things he previously said, his memory gets cloudy. He's a Grade-A douche.

I have no idea how people call into his show regularly.
You get roughly three words out before he interrupts and finishes whatever it was you were going to say.

Witz, you're missing the bigger point, and perhaps it's my fault for not being more clear about it. It's easy to spew information based on "the norm"... what usually happens in a typical draft. But the fact is he had NO clue who Warmack and Cooper are. But because they are GAWWWDS, they were disregarded.In fairness to the big lug, he is kinda right. In the past 15 years or so (I didn't go back farther), there have really only been about 3 guards drafted in the top 15.
This year, we had 2 in the top 10.

Today he claims that he identified and hyped Tom Brady as a sleeper before that draft. The same Brady who held the clipboard for drew Henson.
He's told some whoppers but this one takes the cake

Even if you had Brady as a sleeper back then, you'd be saying he has a shot at being a starter somewhere. Nothing in the same universe of what his career has been.

More to the point, if he had remotely met such a claim, we would not be hearing about it for the first time 13 years later. Just a lie

My favorite clueless comment of the day from him (and make no mistake, there were many to choose from) was when he killed the Jets for taking Missou DT Sheldon Richardson. Now first of all, I'd bet my life against $20 that he's seen Richardson play exactly ZERO times. So what was his reasoning?
"Richardson played on a TERRIBLE defense, folks. Hey Victa, get me the Missouri scores from this season."
Because as we all know... football is an individual sport.
I hope he didn't look up how many points Mean Joe Greene's defense at North Texas gave up.

I didn't make up a word of that. He asked Victaaaa to fetch the Missouri scores for him. As if he would be vindicated somehow.
