Read ‘Right 88′
Now to Francesa (and thanks for your patience).
Reader Rich Meyerson asks if we think this is a coincidence: This week Sitting Bull claimed vivid recall of what he expertly termed “Red Right 88.”
That was the decisive, needless Brian Sipe pass intercepted late in the 1981 Raiders-Browns playoff game — a play known (mostly in Cleveland and Oakland) as “Red Right 88,” and written as “Red Right 88” in that day’s Post, seen right in front of Francesa?
Coincidence? What do you think, Rich?
Then there was “Let’s Be Honest’s” claim that he went 4-1 in Super Bowl “proposition bets” — such as over/unders on sacks.
Given that YouTube, unlike WFAN, doesn’t lose tapes, he actually went 2-2. And, as reader Raider Dave reminds, add that to the fact that he predicted Seattle, 23-20, thus Seattle and the under — boing! — his 4-1 day actually was 2-4. Still, not bad — for him.
