Lawrence Taylor is expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges  stemming from a May 6 arrest for felony statutory rape. He may receive six years of probation. - ESPN

“My understanding was, that this was, in essence, in essence a misunderstanding. And that’s basically it. That it is was a misunderstanding. That no one understood what the girl’s age was.” - WFAN’s Mike Francesa


So the lesson here, according to Francesa, appears to be: if you’re a married, 51-year-old, former NFL linebacker who wants to bone a cheap prostitute in a fleabag hotel, always, always ask her first if she’s over 18, and then take her word for it, no matter what she says, JUST SO THERE’S NO MISUNDERSTANDING. Then, basically, it’s all cool.

I thought the President, last night, did a good job. It’s one of the rare, few good speeches he’s given since he’s been President, I think.

WFAN’s Mike Francesa, the Bill O’Reilly of sports talk radio.


Ya ever see anyone who isn’t lookin’ at their phone the whole day, in your whole life? Ya ever walk anywhere where people aren’t walking into the walls cause their lookin’ at their phones all day? Everyone looks at their phone. Is their anyone who isn’t looking at their phone, basically? Walk down the street now and see how many people are looking at their phone? Everybody, they’re walking into the street, they’re walking into traffic, they’re looking at their phone. America is looking at it’s phone. That’s basically it. That’s what America is doing, looking at it’s phone.

Wow he makes my head explode. The above quote reads like a bad comedy piece. I started listening again because of my sports blogging gig. But I’m not sure how much more of Mike I can take.

WFAN's Mike Francesa Bashed for Jew Hating by NY Post's Mushnick

Mike Francesa said on WFAN Friday that if the Post’s ‘lazy’ Phil Mushnick could produce tape that showed Francesa saying that ‘he heard Chase Utley was hiding an injury’ that he would give Mushnick his chair for 5 hours plus $25,000.

Phil didn’t take too kindly to the comments. Phil’s column today is You’re on, Francesa! And it rips the WFAN talker as an Anti-Zionist who blamed Jews for the 911 attacks…
