Said he would be very surprised if he's hired. And said the Giants probably weren't comfortable with him interviewing with the Eagles. Said the Eagles might be fishing for Giant info. But basically said he's too old to coach anymore.
My thought exactly, when I heard the clip. He'll weasel out by attributing it to "If I were the Bengals", and not it him actually opining it on his own behalf.
All that was true for most of his career. When he turned 30, Bradshaw became a much better passer. He took way too long to figure out that passing took more than a big arm.
Mike did a situational 180 the other day. I forget who he was talking about, but he was trumpeting how many times whomever got his team into a championship game, with little regard to whether they won or lost the big game. At first, I thought I misheard him, but he kept going on about it.
It reminds me of when he endlessly praised Harbaugh for getting to three straight championship games while never giving Belichick any credit for doing the same thing in that time period. He also killed Belichick and the Pats for not winning Super Bowls while making excuses for Harbaugh, Manning, and some of his other favorites when they did the same. He protects the players and coaches that he likes and endlessly criticizes the players and coaches he doesn't like. Don't ever look for consistency from Tubby.
Caller says he's from NJ. Any chance it's the guy from Dumont, who got him on Bernie Williams Night, and Marv Levy On the Sidelines?
On the podcast, he says he's leaving WFAN at the end of his contract which ends next year.
Mike must have missed the last two minutes of that game, AV might've won it with the kick but TB12 put him in that position.
I know we don't like Francesa's takes on the Sox and Patriots but he is a HoF broadcaster. This is well worth a listen because Nolan, in her disarming way, gets Mike to open up on a wide range of subjects. He is, at points, arrogant and a bit patronizing but Katie never takes the bait. However he is also fascinating and Nolan gets a lot of great quotes out of Mike. If you ever listened to Mike and The Mad Dog (I lived in the NY area when the show started and it was must listen radio), you have to listen or watch on Youtube.
Not sure about Evan but I listened to Joe for many years while he was doing overnights He is a diehard Jets fan as you describe but he loved Belichick and was one of the first to declare (right after Super Bowl XXXVI as I recall) that Brady could become a great QB and the Patriots would be good for a long time. He always gave the Pats their due unlike you know who.
I don't know. Mike deserves a lot of the crap he gets but I pretty much agree with this.
In Denver I've seen many crazier, and so have you. Always seems in denver we never get any of the crazy ones. Funny that.
