Is there an app for all Francesa’s mistaken decrees?

-

WHO needs to buy Mike Francesa’s app when His Majesty, King of Megalomani­a, bestows his best stuff on the serfs for free?

It was another big week for Sitting Bull. Samples:

When caller “Eric in Short Hills” said Tiger Woods had been in drug rehab, Fransayso stopped him cold to twice say, “He never went to drug rehab,” dismissing the caller as a know-nothing.

Soon, Know-It-All must’ve been told from the inside what he was the last to know: Woods, last year, was in rehab after his DUI arrest while loaded with opioids. Did Francesa apologize? Fat chance. The heel just flatly said Woods was in drug rehab as if he’d never said anything to the contrary.

He’s also back to making his NFL picks against “special” lines that favor only him. Last Friday he touted the Cowboys laying 2½, when the opening line was 3½ then closed at 3 — a big difference from 2½.

But Francesa is special. He’s a pretend-we-don’t-know career victim of his own reverse kismet. The Cowboys won but, even at -2½, didn’t cover. They beat the Lions by two. Mr. “My Picks Have Value” is 4-8 for the NFL season.

And he’d be 3-9 had that “get it right” replay reversal in Sunday’s Browns-Raiders not gotten it dead wrong. But he knew that was going to happen.

Even if the Capitals beat the Bruins, 7-0, in the NHL opener, Wednesday on NBCSN, Doc Emrick was in the/my house.

After his deadpan crack that advertisin­g is apparently designed “to increase revenue,” he seamlessly added, “It was 40 years ago, this season, when [side] board advertisin­g began.” Only Emrick.

Also Wednesday, Ron Darling, top of the fifth of A’s-Yankees on TBS, man on first, none out, before a 1-2 pitch to Nick Martini: “There’s a big hole between first and second [with Luke Voit holding on Jonathan Lucroy].” Next pitch, a single through that hole.
