did you hear mike just say that the colts would be better than the jets if the jets had peyton manning? He thinks the colts have a better overall team if you take the qb position out of the question. hahahaha that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard.
hes just grasping at straws with that one, kinda pathetic really. he may have a problem that isnt really his fault and may need to see a doctor.seriously.
But on his lst show he said the JETS are 1 or 2 players away from being "a super bowl team"... Wow...
someone call in and explain to him how the jets would be better then the colts if they had peyton manning with a #1 offense and #1 running game. Not to mention cothcery was a #1 reciever with chad pennington. The jets would be 14-2 at worst. There isn't one game this yr they would of lost if peyton manning was their qb.
That's what makes him stupid. He says that when they Take Peyton out they were horrible because Peyton blah blah.... But yet, if that same God Like figure you preach of was on the JETS.... The guy is just ass backwards
yeh thats the funny thing. With an average qb everyone says the colts are 4-12. With a way below average qb this yr the jets were 9-7. lol
Peyton Manning loses Marvin Harrison...no problem...Anthony Gonzalez is my #2 Manning loses Anthony Gonzalez for the season, no problem! Hello Pierre Garcon! So who replaces Garcon's role? Hello Austin Collie, mr rookie. Peyton Manning makes his WR's better. Cotchery would be his #1 target and be similar to Reggie Wayne. Even though Braylon is not good with his drops, Peyton will hit him enough and he'll make big plays even though he'll drop his share. There is no doubt Dustin Keller would be just as good as Dallas Clark if he had Peyton throwing him too. The Jets have a running game! The Jets have the #1 scoring defense. Peyton Manning can't score over 14 PPG? He would make Ted Ginn look good!
One other funny note. He was talking about the Jets having no weapons like the Colts so he starts describing the Jets WR's. Edwids is awful, don't tawk to me about him... Francesa's description of the journeyman Jerricho Cotchery... "Cotchery catches da bawl, runs da slant well, not that good"
He was more interested in Mark McGwire admitting to steroids. I was hoping the Jets were going to be talked about all show, but it was shared with poor officiating, and McGwire. Anything to deflect callers killing him.
Ok remember when everyone thought i was making this up or didn't know what the method is. I actually did a little research. It was actually Aaron Schatz that uses a specific method to calculate stats based on variables. With all these variables considered the bengals had a 22nd ranked run stop defense. I used that to get on Mike Francisa who was claiming that the bengals had a big time defense and a big time run stopping defense. Here's how he comes up with it: DVOA: The main statistic used by Football Outsiders, DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average), breaks down the entire season play by play, comparing the success on each play to the league average based on a number of variables, including down, distance, location on field, current score gap, quarter and opponent quality. While it can be used as a measure of total team performance, it differs from other power ratings found throughout the Web because it can be broken down to analyze team effectiveness in any number of ways down, quarter, rushing vs. receiving, location on field, passes to backs vs. passes to receivers, etc. It can also be used to analyze specific players. For more on how DVOA is computed, read the explanation at FootballOutsiders.com. You can find current total DVOA ratings for 2009 on this page.
I am glad i don't listen to this moron anymore. its amazing to me that anybody bothers with this ridiculous program anymore. he jumped the shark long ago. 1050 is about 20 times better than mikey's crotchety old man act.
yes we know its an act but sadly it just makes for shitty radio because mike isn't smart, talented or funny enough to pull it off. he misses the dog big time.
I can't believe a sports talk host in the media capital of the world can say something so stupid. With this D and Peyton Manning we'd be a freaking dynasty. Like 5 straight.... Look at what Manning has done with guys like Pierre fucking Garcon and Austin Collie... imagine if he had guys like Edwards and Cotch plus the ability to throw to a guy with Clowney's speed?
Of course he is. He does the same thing with Met fans - say something disparaging, get them fired up and calling in - makes for good radio. Same with his "disputes" with Mad Dog - all hyped to get people to listen. Its a media savvy strategy, and it obviously works.
