One of our followers took the time the transcribe some inane babblings from the man who is the authority on sports, life, and having high cholesterol, Mike Francesa. I received this via email, and to the literally half dozens of people who read this blog, we are going to see about making reader comments available in the coming days.
But for now, here is Mike, who clearly didn't have a fucking clue what he was talking about, blessing his listeners with a succint, concise interpretation of an NFL rule. Bear in mind this is a direct quote.
Mike Francesa on 11/24 explaining the free kick that happened during the Giants-Cardinals game to his audience:"If you catch that ball and fair catch it, you have the right to free-kick it without a play. It's a play that's been on the books forever. If you catch the ball on the fair catch there, you have a right to try and kick that and if you get the free kick, it is a field goal. It does not happen because, you know, it doesn't happen very often. But if you can catch the fair catch there on the ball, on the return, catch the ball there, call for a fair catch you can then kick that ball for a field goal. It's on the books, it's called a free kick, it's legal, it doesn't happen very often. They have to be kicked a very long distance, but there's nobody in front of you. So, it's on the books; just look under free kick."
And THAT folks, is why they pay him the big bucks...
