Francesa knows all, save what he doesn’t

NOT EVEN genetic engineering is capable of producing anything as special as Mike Francesa. Although gracious enough to share the air he breathes — when he’s done with it — he pretends to know everything when all evidence stands to the contrary. And despite his failure to acknowledge that he’s always wrong, the enormity of his authoritative inaccuracies persists.

Francesa, before Saturday’s Michigan-Ohio State game and, as always, available on #backaftathis: “There are very few defenses that can dictate terms in college football, and Michigan has one.” He went on to explain to the unwashed masses that its D is so “dominant” that Michigan, four-point favorite, would win by at least 10.

Later, when a caller asked about the NFL prospects of Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins, Francesa dismissed “Matt in Jersey” as an idiot, with, “He’s not even a good player” as he disconnected the call.

Final score: Ohio State 62, Michigan 39 — the most points ever allowed by a Michigan team. Haskins had six TD throws and 396 passing yards.

When that game was next broached, Francesa said it was a surprising result and that Haskins appears to be a pretty good player. He did not acknowledge that he had said a word to the contrary. But the only fool left to fool is himself.

Sunday, switching between the Patriots-Jets and Giants-Eagles flag football games — a total of 37 accepted penalties — CBS’s Ian Eagle told us that Tom Brady feels MetLife Stadium is more visitor-friendly than was Giants Stadium, which was louder, thus tougher to play in.

That’s what happens when you price out generations of unconditionally devoted fans, replacing them with PSL suckers left to defray some of their expenses by selling their tickets to whomever, but especially to fans of the visiting teams.
