Oh man that was classic! Calicheat is so dirty. He leaves a stink where ever he goes.

I initially did not know the context when today Francesa was alluding to his friendship with Calapari and that they were joking around.......

Calipari is a great recruiter because he no longer has to sell an education just to go pro! Right up his ally. Francesa, in my humble opinion, is this generations Howard Cosell! A guy who has no relevant experience yet claims to be all knowing in all things. I pay little to no attention to him in every sport with the exception of horse racing, as he is in Saratoga most of the meet with his buddies Tuna, Pitino et al.

No, IMO this isn't a great clip or a competent job by Francesa. As a Bona (Jandoli)-taught J-major, my training tells me Francesa was given a golden opportunity to turn this into a legitimate serious interview with a high-profile figure who he caught trying to sneak into a discussion about his abilities as a coach and blew it because he let his own opinions and obnoxious personality interfere with his job. And Sony, I think Cosell would never have allowed that opportunity to pass no matter what his personal opinion was - witness the now famous Nixon/Lennon encounter on MNF. He certainly would not have hung up if Tricky Dick called on the phone pretending to be someone else! While Cal showed who he was, so did Francesa - a hack!

ceharv - your quantifying Francesa as a "hack" does match him up nicely with my feelings about Cosell. I grant you, Cosell may have outscored Francesa in this particularly instance only because Cosell had some obvious intelligence as demonstrated by his being a lawyer.

Sony - not sure I follow - my reference to Fracesa as a hack was certainly not intended to match him up nicely with Cosell, or anyone. Say what you want about Cosell, but he at least knew when to switch off the entertainer act and go professional. Fracesa just blew it.

I enjoy WFAN in the afternoons when Francesa is on vacation.
