Francesa

[nnysiny]

Deadspin created a gif of Francesa waking up:

i dont know if its possible to photoshop that into Francesca doing coke, but that would be hilarious.

also, they were making fun of this on The Michael Kay Show. Kay said "i feel pumped, i had a lot of sleep last night" and Don LaGreca said "so you wont fall asleep when Adam Schefter calls?"

why should Francesa be different from anyone else listening to Murti?

I have it on in my office, it helps my day go much faster. How are the commericial on the radio different from the ton of commercials during the yankee games or any other sporting event?

Well, for one, they're longer.

Francesa has breaks that are as much as six or seven minutes long. Then he'll go to his update, and another five minute break, and you might go 15 minutes without hearing from Francesa.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I don't get the idea of watching radio on TV.

2 words.....cheap programming.

I have to give him credit for recovering pretty quickly. When that used to happen to me in school, it took me forever to figure out what was being discussed.

With little doubt, he probably suffers from sleep apnea and there are days in which it can hit you hard and fast.

That's the rationale behind showing it, and I get that. It's actually watching it that I don't get.

You might be referring to narcolepsy.

Are you suggesting that Mike Francesa likes to have sex with corpses?

No I am not.

Is there a missing link or video/audio or something on this thread?

Francessa is terrible but I like WFAN in general. And now that ESPN is on FM it's like they died to me because the sound is terrible on FM for talk radio and I can't program a button for it on radios at home because it's on a different band than the AM stations. So I just listen 100% to WFAN now or no sports talk at all

I agree, I also think the FM sound is terrible and there is no way to resolve it.

There are days when there's nothing else on, and I'll flip it on. I'm not sitting in front of the TV riveted, but I'll have it on while I do other things. Kind of acts like background noise.

[BRNXBMRS]

The pope is actually talking about himself falling asleep. Said his kid was sick on Sunday night and got no sleep.

I almost spit out my soda. Thanks.

Francesa started today's show explaining what happened, which seemed legit enough, but he said that at no time did he ever fall asleep. Yeah, right, Mike. Everyone wakes up with an angry, bewildered look on their face from not falling asleep.

[Mr Coffee]

The guy mainlines Diet Coke like he's taunting diabetes. I'm surprised he's able to sleep at all.

What did he say happened?

[fredgmuggs]

You might be referring to narcolepsy.

I used to work with guy who had narcolepsy. He would be sitting, drinking a coffee, having a conversation and suddenly he started to trail off and his head would fall forwards.... usually in mid-sentence. And it didn't seem like he was nodding off, it almost seemed like he was dead. And suddenly he would bounce back and continue his conversation as if nothing ever happened. And all of this occurred in just seconds. It was surreal. And the scary part was he drove a car.

Can someone summarize for those of us who are at work and/or don't want to listen to Francesa blabber?

Basically he's saying he had been awake since Sunday 6am. Watched football all day Sunday thru the end of the Steelers-Broncos game...then he was awake with his son all night because of his asthma issues. Didnt get any sleep after he put his kids on the school bus Monday morning, and came in and did the show on no sleep since he's "done it many times before".

He says he did close his eyes during the interview, and he was very tired...but he "promises" he didnt fall asleep.

He def did fall asleep. I think the term is called microsleep or something like that. You actually fall asleep/go unconscious for as little as a split second. It happens to everyone. I remember when I used to work at a bank as a teller, I'd be in a seperate room by myself working drive up. Some mornings there would be no action. I'd be reading stuff on the computer and I'd fall asleep for a few seconds and then catch myself before my head slammed into the counter.

Yeah, it definitely looks like he did. If he was out for a short enough period, though, could be he didn't even know it and thought he was just starting to doze or something. Either way, I'm not sure why just explaining what happened with his kid, saying that he dozed off and that he's embarrassed by it and sorry it happened wouldn't be sufficient. I don't think it's a huge deal. A hilarious deal, though, certainly.
