Francesa hides from roof goof
THE CAREER essence of Mike “Let’s Be Honest” Francesa as a transparently dishonest know-it-all creep was in full flower Sunday and Monday.
Sunday: 1) Because of the frigid weather expected for Packers-Bears, he guaranteed a low-scoring game.
2) The Colts’ offensive line is kaput. Andrew Luck will spend the game against the home-favorite Vikings on his rear end.
3) He delivered a repetitive lecture on how arctic weather in Dallas would greatly alter that night’s Buccaneers-Cowboys, especially the performances of two warm-weather QBs. Francesa didn’t even hint that Dallas’ stadium has a retractable roof.
Monday: No mention that he was dead wrong, that the guaranteed lowscoring Packers-Bears ended 30-27.
Andrew Luck to be slaughtered by the Vikes? No mention that Luck threw for two TDs and wasn’t even sacked in a 34-6 win.
And in a long, childishly pathetic defense, Francesa explained that he knew Dallas has a retractable roof, but presumed it would be left open as an advantage to the Cowboys — a senseless, inexplicable advantage suggested by no one but him, and a day late!
In other words, without mentioning, Sunday, that Dallas has a roof during his dissertation about the rotten weather expected during the game, on Monday he claimed he thought they would keep the unmentioned roof open in windy, frigid weather which, a) never before happened and, b) would have defeated the purpose of spending millions to have a roof!
And there you have Mike Francesa.
