Sports-talk highlights. Movie, TV and sports clips. Colin Cowherd's fact-checker. WFAN enthusiast. Once again recording Mike Francesa's grunts and rants. 🍻
By popular demand, this is the return of the "Best of Mike Francesa" thread. Prank calls, funny moments, weird happenings... it's all covered here.
I'll keep this thread pinned and we'll add to it regularly. 👑
On this date in 2008, Lane Kiffin sent Sebastian Janikowski out to attempt a 76-yard field goal. 😂
It missed by a mile. Al Davis fired Kiffin two days later.

Colin Cowherd tells us that he did not like Vince Young coming out of Texas, because Young's throwing motion reminded him of Tim Tebow. One small problem: Tim Tebow was still in high school when Young was drafted.
Do you need more convincing that this guy is a fraud?
The greatest single-season coaching achievement of our lifetime - and I don't even think it's arguable - is Mark Mangino leading the Kansas football team to a 12-1 record and an Orange Bowl victory in 2007.
KANSAS! ... FOOTBALL!
KU has won 12 football games in the last 8 years.
On today's show, Colin Cowherd mentioned Dwayne Haskins as one of the QBs who cannot win a Super Bowl.
This is factually correct, given that Haskins passed away 16 months ago.
Yesterday, Colin Cowherd made fun of the media members who had been "lining up" all of the Super Bowls that Patrick Mahomes will get to.
𝑨𝑳𝑺𝑶....
Here is Colin from two years ago, lining up all of the Super Bowls that Patrick Mahomes will get to. 😂
This could be the best one ever. 😂😂
Today, Cowherd wondered why all of those stupid GMs passed on Derrick Henry in the draft. He's big, he's fast, he doesn't fumble.... WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE???
Also Cowherd, draft day 2016, on Alabama's Derrick Henry: "I wouldn't touch him!" 🤡

@ColinCowherd
seems to be very, VERY high on a Chicago Bears running back named "Armstrong"... a person who doesn't exist.
It's always a tough scene when you don't watch football and you're forced to go off-script. 😂
1969, halftime show at a Vikings game: "More than 40,000 watched in disbelief as a hot air balloon carried an 11-year-old boy over the light towers, and eventually dumped him in the icy Minnesota river."
Wait... WHAT? 😳
Colin Cowherd was very impressed when Alex Smith defeated Nick Saban's Alabama team. Alex Smith never faced Nick Saban nor Alabama when he was in college, but that's not important right now.
Cowherd is the best.
LAST MONTH: The Packers should absolutely draft a QB with their first pick! Absolutely! It's the right thing to do!!!
TODAY: It's STUPID for the Packers to draft a QB with their first pick!

@MikeFrancesa
left us with a final parting gift yesterday. The Jets "are never gonna get" two
#1
's for Jamal Adams.
Less than 24 hours later, the Jets got two
#1
's (and then some) for Jamal Adams. The man was magical until the end.
Whenever Minnesota plays in Dallas, I'm reminded of the Vikings-Cowboys 1977 NFC Championship game when this dude was on fire in the stands.
Literally ON FIRE. 🔥
This might be my favorite piece of work in a very long time. 😂😂

@ColinCowherd
laughs at the dumb people who said four months ago that Tua Tagovailoa will fall in the draft.
𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐒 𝐀𝐆𝐎 - Colin Cowherd says Tua Tagovailoa will drop in the draft.
Attention Please. The San Francisco Giants have arrived in New York. You know what that means.... it's time for the annual GIANTS/GIANTS picnic!
⬇️⬇️⬇️
Cowherd and his little buddy are tearing it up lately. While discussing Ryan Tannehill possibly going the Falcons...
•Desmond Ridder is 0-3 as starting QB.
(He beat Arizona last week)
•Calvin Ridley will be back with Atlanta!
(He got traded to the Jags two months ago)
Jason 'Little Buddy' McIntyre was extremely impressed by the "young quarterback" of the Giants, Tyrod Taylor.
Tyrod Taylor is 34 years old. It's his 13th year in the NFL.
As the year winds down, I want to mention one GOOD part of sports broadcasting, which I don't do often enough.
@notthefakeSVP
anchors a highly entertaining nightly program, and he does so with affability, humor and no ego. That's rare for someone in his position. Cheers. 🍻
Don La Greca of The Michael Kay Show has some thoughts on
@RealSkipBayless
.
• Talentless hack.
• Human trash.
• Not an ounce of talent or integrity.
I think he's being too kind.
Mike Francesa announces that he will no longer allow Funhouse to post clips from his fabulous 90-minute daily show going forward.
Alternate title: Mike Francesa announces that exactly ZERO people will hear anything he has to say going forward.
Boomer Esiason received a text from a trusted source which indicates that Aaron Rodgers will threaten to boycott the Super Bowl, should the Packers make it that far.

May 1, 2017 - Cowherd raves about the STEAL OF THE DRAFT!!! Utah RB Joe Williams to the 49ers.
Joe Williams had zero NFL carries, and he was out of football a year later.
Let's begin with the clip that gets requested the most. By far. Eddie in Queens wants to discuss a bunt from 1961 with Mike. Instead, Mike robs this poor man of his soul.
December 21, 2003: Needing a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, New Orleans pulls off a miracle touchdown ... only to watch John Carney miss the extra point.
Stick around for the reaction of Saints' radio announcer Jim Henderson. "NOOOOOOOO!" 😂
9/2/95, Texas at Hawaii. Not much here. Sideline reporter
@KirkHerbstreit
is brand new at ESPN,
@MikePereira
is your referee and Ricky Williams dominates his first college football game as a true freshman.
🏈🏈🏈
Among Colin Cowherd's Top Five NBA Players "25 or under," you will find...
• 27-year-old Giannis Antetokounmpo
• 28-year-old Joel Embiid
• 27-year-old Nikola Jokić
👍
I think the Bills should have taken Booger's advice here. Gain a few yards on 3rd down, and then spike the ball on 4th down while trailing by 3 late in the game.
"Let me understand.... you got the hen, the chicken and the rooster. The rooster goes with the chicken. So who's having sex with the hen?"
RIP Jerry Stiller 🙏
Mike Francesa shares the good news that his son will be attending a Division III school (Hamilton College) on a football scholarship.
Also, Division III schools do not offer full -or- partial athletic scholarships.
🔥 RADIO WARS 🔥
Jayson Braddock and Patrick Creighton (ESPN 97.5 in Houston) get into a shouting match on air about the Rockets possibly trading James Harden. Braddock calls Creighton a bitch several times before walking out.
Their producer eventually cut the audio. Wisely.
Mike Francesa received three prank calls in a row on his "last day" at WFAN today.😂
Last day is in quotes because I'll believe he's gone for good when I see it.
If you didn't live through it, nobody would understand the sheer joy of tuning in to the Mike and the Mad Dog show the day after a brutal performance like this by the Jets or Giants.
