'Monday Night Football' passed on Mike Francesa
Mike Francesa said on WFAN this afternoon that in 2000 the three top candidates to join the "Monday Night Football'' booth were as follows:
Billy Crystal
Dennis Miller
Mike Francesa
Yes, Mike appeared to be serious.
No, I don't have any clever remarks to add to that at this time.
Yes, you are welcome to comment below if you are so inclined.
No, I'm not going to post anymore stuff today now that the Yankees have tabled their decision on Mr. Torre's future.
Enjoy Manny being Manny.

To quote the man himself, "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
A legend in his own mind.
Was that before or after he married Morgan Fairchild?
I'm surprised that they didn't offer him his own variety show to be televised live from New York on Saturday night.
Your boy Franny is terminally delusional. Next thing you know he'll be telling us he, not Neil Armstrong, was the first man on the moon. What a goofball.
I guess they have Diet Coke in the booth on MNF too...And Mike's variety show is on Sunday nights.
*sips diet coke...turns page* yeah, uh huh..yeah..
Where can I get that job?

How long has Francesa had Alzheimer's?
In 2000, Don Ohlmeyer told the first 25,000 people he saw that they were being considered for Monday Night Football. And Mikey Mike thought he was number 3? Number 2 was Don's plumber.
it was funny though
mike and chris were high today
it was probably their best show in awhile
making fun of steinbrenner cooking was great
and the whole springsteen thing and chris telling mike what to wear
who cares if its true or not
this is mike francesa he always lies
Actually, Mike was #4 on the List. Uh, Whatchacallit, was #3.
Why couldn't this be true? Like Mike would flat out lie?
Give me a break
Great picture of half a Dennis Miller. Oh wait, that was him before he ate his way through the MNF pregame spread for a few painful years.
Joe Benigno has just turned down a multi-year offer from 20/20.
