Can’t get his story straight

-

MIKE Francesa on Wednesday pulled another Al Alburquerq­ue! When a caller asked if the Jets might be interested in free agent offensive linemen Matt Kalil, D.J. Fluker or Chance Warmack, Franceesa, who knows everything about and everyone in the NFL, said he never had heard of them.

Then he concluded the caller was giving him fabricated names or the names of his friends. Francesa cut the caller off the line as he continued to scold him as an idiot, thus the caller couldn’t even save Francesa from himself.

A bit later, “Let’s Be Honest” did his transparen­t tap dance: He suddenly remembered the names of all three linemen! He blamed his confusion on the caller’s inability to speak clearly, which was untrue — the caller was plainly heard.

So yet again, Sitting Bull was left self-exposed by both his inability to admit he was wrong and his inability to know that his pathetic tap dances fool no one.

The NCAA recently suspended five University of Richmond baseball players for football gambling on fantasy sites.

These suspension­s should immediatel­y be rescinded, as gambling is predicated on chance. Those most familiar with fantasy sports gambling know that most participan­ts have no chance.

While we’re at it, in keeping to his careerlong practice of public bad faith, Brent Musburger, in ads for his new satellite radio gambling station, refers to gambling as “gaming” — as if he is pitching info on how to play Parcheesi.

The NHL player is feeling beat, so he goes to a doctor for a thorough exam.

Afterward, the player says, “Give it to me straight, Doc. Is it an upper or lower-body injury?”
