Whatever windowrama and that dealership paid for the ad time on this show was the deal of the century. I’ll still be listening to this rant in 20 years and I’m not the only one.
You know Mike was so dang full of himself it was comical. The guy got away with saying the most outrageous things, and he was wrong more then right big time.
I will say one thing: Most times, I will say you play the game to win. Pettiness is secondary to winning, even if something is unnecessary. That being said, keeping a 56-0 shutout by icing a kicker last second *is* rather insanely petty. It's absolutely fine to actually do, but I will call it petty.
Every time I listen to this, it makes me glad that Mike decided to return. You do not get this type of genuine reaction out of any of the other talking heads on sports radio.
I don't know what's funnier, the segment rant, or the promo sponsor break ! Lol!! "you loser!! Annnndd by the way go get yourself a Honda from Bayridge Honda..."
The disinterest mike reads the live-reads is a microcosm for why people always loved him. He just wants to scream about sports. He’s a semi sell out but I never question how much he cares
That's what makes them great! I bet the sponsors loved it, they signed on to sponsor Mike Francesa for a reason and got the full experience within their read when he stops to scream about PSU multiple times! Way better than a normal ad haha.
Mike hit the nail on the head at the end , how does the PS coach hold his hand out to shake after what he did ? He was probably waiting to get punched in the face and closed his eyes .
Make fun of Mike all you want, but on this, he's completely right. They shouldn't even be playing Georgia State. It's a mismatch. And a softie that's being fed to a big program. Whether it's a 56-0 or 56-3 win doesn't move the needle even a little. If you don't agree with Mike, you don't know sports--period. You shouldn't even be commenting.
Anytime someone wins by that big, the winner--not the loser--should be embarrassed. Besides, running up the score gives your team a false sense of accomplishment.
I agree 100% with Mike on the field goal situation. Hard to say Penn State specifically is wrong for playing Georgia State though. All of these top Power Five schools play cupcakes at different points of the season, especially early. SEC teams like Bama play them early then the second to last game of the year also which is completely absurd and makes zero sense.
I think it was because it would look good on your ranking situation to win 56-0 rather than 56-3. Which didn’t matter in the end because I believe Penn State imploded late in that season.
I disagree with Mike but I love listening to it anyway! If GA State wants to play to the bitter end Penn State has the right to too. I have no problem with the FG attempt, and PSU has no obligation to make it easy. If you're gonna play to the end, the other team can too. Nevertheless, I'm thankful for another Francesca rant!
Penn State wants to send out the message that they give "no quarter" and fight all the way, then fold up when power teams gear up to bring their A-game against them.
Right, so why do you need to call a timeout to stop the game and try to ice the opposing kicker at 56-0? You don't. Every defensive player knows how to lineup for a field goal anyway. If they don't, that's a coaching issue.
@@e2go Because if you're up 56-0 and you have a chance to maintain a shutout just to morally dunk on the other team even harder than you already are, *you're going to take it* and you're a fool if you wouldn't.
@@Minidunkathon93 I mean, you're right. I think what Mike was so mad about is the coach afterwards was trying to say anything nicer than "yeah we wanted the shutout, who cares." He was making weird excuses rather than just admit it's a game you win and dunk on by any means necessary.
Make up your mind. You are playing the game or not. You wanna try and score points on the last play, then there is nothing wrong trying to prevent them from scoring on the last play. It is petty to only try to break up a shutout and not care about winning. So if they are going to be petty and try to break up the shut out then I would do anything to show them they are losers.
The thing is they're both right. Winning by any (legal) means necessary is more important than pettiness, but you can absolutely call something petty when it is.
The real question is why wasn't the kicking team vilified for attempting a field goal at the end of the game just to avoid a shutout? So they lose by 53 instead of 56 big fucking deal. I'm no PS fan but if I'm the coach damn right I'm going for the shutout that's the kind of mentality you need to WIN.
Lol preventing a scrub school from getting three points by icing their kicker in a 56-0 embarrassment mismatch of a game that shouldn't have been scheduled to begin with is not the mentality you need to win anything real, that's completely asinine🤣. If it was you would have your third and fourth string guys prepared on where to line up on a FG attempt, which literally every player that's played defense knows how anyway. Even if they did get a shutout no one gives AF if you shutout Georgia State anyway. That's not impressive whatsoever. And clearly Penn State is not doing well with this "kind of mentality you need to WIN" with Barkley and McSorley now gone. Team has 12 wins the last two years, including a losing season last year🤣. Franklin is a bad in-game coach that's made catastrophic mistakes regularly in key games. Winning is done by executing in big moments in big games and preparing correctly to do so and overcoming adversity, not pounding trash schools.
Franklin Called a timeout because it was fourth down and instead of going for it on 4th and 1 the coach of Georgia state sends on his FG unit. If he is trying to ruin a shut out why can't James Franklin Ice the kicker. He didn't make the playioff last year because he was kind to the little teams he played. This year is his year to do it he has saquon barkley in his last year, and he is going to do whatever he can to prove to the selection committee that they deserve to be in the playoff.
These are not paid athletes, but college students who play for no reason other than for the love of the game. Yes, Franklin is within the rules to try to keep a shutout against volunteer athletes who were severe underdogs, but I have every right to look at him as human excrement for trying to humiliate his opponent by kicking them when they are down.
It's called having class. Sometimes the human side of things come into play. And margin of victory against non-FBS teams don't count, so that argument is invalid.
@@John-tr6of so you telling me that Penn State could play little old Wyoming A&M and win by two points and get away with that when selection time comes?
I see why you would get mad at James Franklin for icing the kicker at 56-3. But I mean if you have a chance at a shutout you take it, You don't give the team 3 points and ruin the chance at a shutout.
No, you don't do that. If it mattered you might as well keep your first team out there all game, on offense as well, to run the score up to 100-0 and not put in your fourth team at all, which obviously you wouldn't do. Or you would have your third and fourth string defensive guys prepared to line up properly beforehand (like every player that played defense already knows how to do anyway) because their field goal block performance late in blow outs matters so much. You dominated the game when it was a game. No need to stick it to anyone, especially some scrub school you have no negative history with.
Penn State is trying to get into the playoffs and two shutouts look a lot better on the resume. That's a fact. This guy has no idea what he is talking about. His whole deal is being loud and acting like he knows what he's talking about.
Shane O Mac you guys probably think Sandusky is a good guy as well! Are you kidding me! 56-3 is going to make a difference? You guys have absolutely no class up there. Wish Penn State football would've got banned for life
What a BS argument? You really think anyone on the playoff committee is going to care whether Penn State beat Georgia State 56-0 rather than 56-3? There is no difference.
Im actually glad the Penn State coach did what he did because this moment was born lol
This was a great rant. He couldn't even read the commercial ads without getting back to the rant.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 classic
“HES A HAWSES ASS FOAH DOIN DAT!!! DATS A QUOTE!!!”
EPIC!😂🤣
What a stooge!!
Actually I agree with him and I’m from PA. And I went to the same college the same time Franklin was QB at East Stroudsburg University.
“He’s a horse’s ass for doing that!”
That’s a quote!
"Riku, you horse's ass...YOU HORSE'S ASS...."
I love how he’s trying constantly to calm himself down by rehearsing those ads & then he keeps referencing it & starts to rile himself up again!😂😂😂
The freeze frame of mike yelling is hilarious 😂
Whatever windowrama and that dealership paid for the ad time on this show was the deal of the century. I’ll still be listening to this rant in 20 years and I’m not the only one.
The ad jingle just playing in the background is hilarious
Damn right you’re not!
The window rama ad is just icing on the cake
Mike trying to read the advertisement is one of the most amazing things I've ever heard. How's this mans heart not exploded yet?
Love that he does a live read after.
And reads it with no interest, can’t stop going back to the sports story. Hilarious
I miss Mike. The best ever
That's a quote love you Mike.
Those Windorama and Honda ad-reads were incredible
“Thanks for not being a DEVOUT liar” Lmao. Mike was the best!
Mike's so mad he said "running his field goal unit on the team... on the game" twice lmfao. This is great stuff!
You know Mike was so dang full of himself it was comical. The guy got away with saying the most outrageous things, and he was wrong more then right big time.
He almost does it again at around 3:03 and 3:53
3 times he does it 😂
This is LITERALLY the great audio ever
Classic rant. I love it.

"THEY'RE LINED UP!!!!!"
11:17 when he yells “think” I can’t help but lose it 😂 this man was so pissed he couldn’t get thru the ads without still thinking about it 😂
I like when Mike goes from pure rage to pitching his advertisers then back to rage.
Best ad read ever hahahaha
I'm really going to miss Mike Francesa big time. Irreplaceable
Every time I listen to this, it makes me glad that Mike decided to return. You do not get this type of genuine reaction out of any of the other talking heads on sports radio.
There’s nothing like a Francesca rant!😂😂😂
The cult is still strong at Penn State
every fanbase has a cult, you dope
THE BEST DAMN CULT IN THE NATION BABY

Hope he doesn't retire. He rules! He's as legendary as Eskin here in Philly.
Like them both as well.
Eskin is a peasant compared to Mike. Francesa is numbah one!!!!

Georgia State needs the money..
It's the way it is in college football
On the bright side...Vandy might have a coaching gig open soon.
It's all yours, Coach Franklin!!!!!!!!!
I want a game story!
Mike couldn't be more right
Here is a question what kind of coach runs his kicker out there trailing 56-0, and not trying for a touchdown?
Cause he’d rather spoil the shutout than have an extra 4 points against the 56 points .
That's a point. Not sure I've seen that before.
I think it was because it would look good on your ranking situation to win 56-0 rather than 56-3. Which didn’t matter in the end because I believe Penn State imploded late in that season.
2 straight PSU losses....sweet
I cant believe they tried to run their feild goal unit on the team! Or the field?
On the team... on the game. Whatever the case, apparently they weren’t running across the field to shake hands.
The Popes say is final!!! all on here who think otherwise are fools!!!!! will be dearly missed!!
Franklin is one of the worst coaches as far as sportsmanship and expectation are concerned. Ice kickers less and beat Michigan or Ohio St. more.
On the team, on the game
2:25 “running his field goal unit out on the team... on the game”
On the field buddy. Did you get a degree in communications?
What’s great is that he fucks it up twice back to back, then almost fucks it up a third but saves himself
A "block kick unit" is when you take your defense and put them all on the line, maybe you drop your safety back
Yeah exactly lol. Every defense knows how to lineup for a field goal.
Legend!!!!
Bay Ridge Honda are good people. Took good care of us twice. Can’t say the same about Penn State.
I disagree with Mike but I love listening to it anyway! If GA State wants to play to the bitter end Penn State has the right to too.

I don't understand why he's so mad about this. 56-0 or 56-3? Who gives a shit, you still got blown out.

@@UltimaKeyMaster no, you dunk on people by any means necessary. Unless you want to look like an ahole.

Play 5:47 three times and add "with a Kit Kat bar". LOL!!!!!
Referring to these grown men playing college football as “kids” is ridiculous. He’s not icing a 6th grade kicker. Grow up
Wait....It’s Penn States fault that Rutgers sucks ?
The game wasn't against Rutgers
And then running his FIELD goal unit on the team…… on the game
Franklin has had a habit of doing this crap, and I'm a Penn State fan. Total bush league!
