Giant farce from Francesa

SOME perform without a net, others without a conscience. Thus credit Mike Francesa with this: He never tires of being a transparent rotten guesswork artist, a pompous, condescending, self-inflated bag of wrong-again swamp gas.

If Daniel Jones plays well Sunday, “Let’s Be Honest” will claim to have discovered him in third grade. As is, chronicled by @backaftathis, Francesa in April said that having applied his expert examination of Jones while he played at Duke — fat chance — “He’s not a good athlete” and “does not have a good arm.”

He also pilloried the Giants as inept — “a laughingstock” — for selecting Jones with the sixth pick.

This week, as if he’d said nothing to the contrary, Francesa said Jones has a good arm.

ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball” continues to violate the Geneva Convention. After Cleveland’s Yasiel Puig did his career usual — posing a double or triple into a single — Matt Vasgersian piped, “Have you ever seen a single hit that far!?”

Yeah, all the time, these days, Matt, especially from Puig whose “style” of play is featured in Rob Manfred’s “How To Have Fun Playing Baseball” campaign for kids.

Vasgersian explained that Puig “thought” it was gone. No foolin’. Is Vasgersian the last to know that we now see such indefensibly minimalist play every game?

Next, Alex Rodriguez rationalized it with, “It’s OK in July, but not in a pennant race in September.” Yeah, those July games don’t count.

A “Now See This!” ESPN graphic Monday night provided statistical proof that the Browns’ Baker Mayfield is a more accurate passer when he throws within 2.5 seconds of the snap.

In other words, this exhaustive research proved that shorter passes are easier to complete than longer ones. Who knew?
