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.
