Radke Blough his recap

-

ANY STAT, any time: Westwood One’s radio play-by-play man Ryan Radke had nearly the entire first half of Thursday’s Bears-Lions wrapped up nicely: the surprising good play of third-string Detroit QB David Blough in his first NFL start.

Then Radke blew it. As if anything that happened previously this season had anything to do with Blough, the Lions, he reported “are 15th in red-zone offense.”

Checkout counter: Another good one from Mike Francesatr­acker @backaftath­is:

On Dec. 22 last year, he told a caller that Louisville’s Lamar Jackson doesn’t have the arm to play QB in the NFL: “I don’t think he’s a QB. ... I think he can play in the NFL at another position.”

Wednesday, when a caller reminded Francesa that he dismissed Jackson — an NFL sensation as the Ravens’ QB, as an NFL QB — Francesa replied, “I never said he should change positions.”

Time for Sarah Kustok, analyst on YES’ Nets telecasts, to tighten it up. She tends to talk shot-to-shot as if trying to legitimize her credibilit­y, which she has already establishe­d.

Perhaps Booger McFarland, Monday night on ESPN, will again try to explain why he’d prefer first-and-goal from the 10, after a false-start flag, to first-and-goal from the 5. He said it’s to have more field to operate within, but reader John Busacca suggests McFarland should then advise a 10-yard intentiona­l holding penalty.

Even on Thanksgivi­ng, leave it to TV and NFL “pros” to turn our stomachs. At the close of the Bills over Cowboys, CBS first cut to a Bills player on the sideline mocking Dallas QB Dak Prescott to Dallas fans, then to a slow-motion replay of two Bills mocking Ezekiel Elliott. CBS couldn’t even take Thanksgivi­ng off from rewarding the classless.

The inevitable finally happened. I seldom support violence as a solution, but last week in a supermarke­t in Howell, N.J., two women brawled after one complained that the other had more than 10 items while in the express checkout line. One was arrested. I hope she was the one who had more than 10 items.
