The word "platitudes" come to mind.He's not saying anything. I think Woodie told him to do this.
Idzik is an empty suit.

On Idzik: "He's a finance guy. He might get you the right room rate and bus schedule, but he can't pick players"
"What is Jet Nation? 42,000 empty seats?"
"There is only one Nation--Red Sox Nation. Everybody else is just ripping it off."
"There is only one Nation--Red Sox Nation. Everybody else is just ripping it off."
This is funny stuff: Francesa screaming:
Jets Nation? There is no Jets nation!!" There's Red Sox nation everbody else is stealing that. The Giants have great fans but they don't have a nation"
If I was Woodie I'd throw my TV out the window"
Jets Nation? There is no Jets nation!!" There's Red Sox nation everbody else is stealing that. The Giants have great fans but they don't have a nation"
If I was Woodie I'd throw my TV out the window"
"Watkins had 157 yards receiving! You know how long it would take Jets receivers to get 157 yards? THREE YEARS!"
More importantly does anyone have Russo from today? He must be delirious after being down 4-1 on Saturday night.

That was absolutely incredible. I can't remember the last time I heard him go off like that.
And invoking "Red Sox Nation" on the 10th anniversary, no less - beautiful.

Mike had a good day yesterday.
As a point of contrast between the Jersey A and Jersey B teams, after thoroughly gutting the Jets, and calling into question every aspect of organizational competence, Francesa had informative and friendly interviews with Coughlin, Jerry Reese, (GM) and Eli.

On his Sunday show, He did say he gave them a chance today, but the Patriots still aren't a very good team in his opinion.dcmissle said:
He'll say the Broncos made some mistakes on Special Teams that you can't make on the road and that Denver's defense isn't on an elite level. He'll kind of leave it at that with maybe some praise for Brady.RedOctober3829 said:
"Tom" Mike's affectation is that he's on a first name basis with Tom.ifmanis5 said:
and to be fair, he took the Pats and the points.
First hour. Not a mention. Lol.
Edit. -- and I mean literally not a mention of Pats/Broncos.
He mentioned Pats only once in the context of Jets not having many victories in the schedule left.
This has only been the most significant single game this season thus far, with the arguable exception of the Colts recently getting destroyed.

It's a NYC sportstalk show first and foremost. He has to give the first hour to the local team. If the Giants played last night, he wouldn't get to the national games until 3 because the next hour would be all Giants.
"everything bounced right for the Pats and nothing bounced right for the Broncos."
There ya have it.
There ya have it.
his take Broncos had a lot of chances but everything bounced Pats way.
Good Pat win not a bad Bronco loss.
I think we watched different games.

Totally expected that. He never gushes for Tom, always for Manning. If the teams and results were reversed it would be a different story from Mike today.Buster Olney the Lonely said:
Oh I'm not surprised at all. The Playoff game in Denver last year was a statement in Mike's mind. The regular season game in which Denver blew a 24-0 lead in the second half was a fluke because of the way it ended in overtime.ifmanis5 said:
I also think it's funny that sometimes total yardage is important to Mike ("Peyton threw for over 400 yards!!!") and other times it's not ("Don't barthah me wit yardage... yardage is meaningless...")

That's hilarious. Wonder how he feels about those Patriots-Giants SBs, then. You know, when a team actually was a couple of literal bounces away from winning two titles.
It was a cleverly executed troll. He put it at the end of his list of games. He goddamn well knows the significance and enjoyed bucking what he said was the conventional wisdom -- a Pats blowout. Probably trying to stir up some antagonistic phone calls.
Agreed. Also, if Russo was there today he'd be destroying Mike on that: WHO CARES MIKE! BRADY WON THE GAME! THOSE ARE GARBAGE STATS! EVEN PEYTON SAID SO AFTERWARDS! COME ON MIKE!dcmissle said:
I've listened off/on so i may have missed some calls, but I'm surprised there seems to be no Pats calls.
Mike running a screen play?
