Francesa Bites Back At Olbermann
Filed under Keith Olbermann, Mike Francesa, Video by Peter Wade on 11-11-2008
Yesterday WFAN’s Mike Francesa decided to talk back at Keith Olbermann. I must say it’s a very halfhearted attempt. Francesa makes some snide remark about Olbermann saying Eli instead of Peyton while showing the Colts/Steelers highlights.
Francesa goes on about the whole production, NBC’s pregame and post game. I happen to be listening at the time and Francesa was even naming some NBC producer. Francesa, always one to be modest, claims that his local WNBC-TV in NY Sunday night sports wrap show has great ratings, I don’t really care or I would check into it, but if so maybe that’s why he has no qualms going after NBC. I was hoping for some better fireworks from Francesa but you can always count on Mike to disappoint.
Thanks to commenter “The Big Show” for the video.
Mike’s ratings in New York are not good at all. He has an enormous residual audience that he inherits from the Sunday Night Football lead-in, but half the time, unwatchable “Sex in the City” repeats on Channel 11 outrate him.
