Francessa used to actually be good at this a while ago. Its a whole other thing to completely just run over and yell at the interviewee and not let the interviewee answer questions.
DG and PS havn't exactly lit things on fire since coming here, but it's not productive for NYG to have our coach come on the air and get destroyed by Francessa each week.
is nothing short of a total disaster as a head coach. Hopefully the Giants arent dumb enough to bring him back. Then again they did hire him in the first place.
and by the way, Eli canceling his spot had nothing to do with answering questions. It had everything to do with Mike trashing the organization that Eli has loved since day 1.
because he is such a blowhard who is so bad at his job that the mere fact that he criticizes other people at their jobs is hypocritical to me. And, of course, what is the point of going on if he is just going to be a prop for Mike to scream at.
On the other hand, I do agree that to cancel now seems weak. After all, it is no surprise who Francesca is and that he has this new vendetta against the Giants. The fact that you signed up for it, had to mean you knew what you were getting into. To walk away now, is just petty and weak.
RE: Who was that guy that had an asshat meltdown with Eric Â
He's harsher on the Giants and their front office - who have two Super Bowls in the past 12 years - than he is on the Knicks and their front office, who have been a dumpster fire for 20 years. All because Jimmy Dolan gives him good seats to concerts at MSG.
I've never thought Francesa was anything but an arrogant blowhard, so I don't mind seeing him brought down a few pegs. On the other hand, everything about the Giants is a disaster.
The biggest thing this regime is going to be judged on is Jones. And that part of it is TBD.
If Jones is legit - the QB is in place, there's an elite RB still on a rookie contract, there's a lot of cap space opening up and more draft choices to improve the team with. Not a terrible spot to be in.
If Jones bombs, the team shows no improvement, and continues to look like a dumpster fire, then yeah... we're in terribly deep shit.
But for better or worse, what Daniel Jones becomes is going to be the thing these guys are either lauded for or destroyed for.

he gets no ratings anymore and he is basically a joke at this point..
and lets be fair gettleman has rebuilt the offensive line, drafted a hall of fame runnjng back, his draft picks albeit very early have contributed except for 2..
If jones becomes the next franchise qb he succesfully helped the team for the next 15 years...
team is very young on defense..
Franfesa is butthurt because he had no idea who the giants were taking
due to picking second, have a relatively WR group (that was decimated by week 5 in the 3-13 year), sign a LT to record money, trade for a starting LB, the best they can do is 5-11 and that's called progress?

The offensive line is improved. I wouldn't say it qualifies as above average. Solder is 31 and massively overpaid. Remmers is 30 and has a history of back problems. Zeitler was a good pickup but is 29. Halapio is 28 and has barely played before this season. It's not exactly built for the long haul.
interesting nonetheless, Tom Coughlin had done a weekly Monday Spot with Francessa and Russo from when he took over right up to week two in 2007, and discontinued it after starting 0-2. I think some good things followed. I don't think their was this kind of animosity back then though.

it is at least good for the next 4 years, i expect the future right tackle drafted this year
when he cited his career record and asked him why he is the guy to turn it around.
Thats not the type of question you pop on a weekly call in segment.
That’s not a fair question?
Players get similar questions from media when they’re playing bad and we expect them to stand up there and answer them.
I don't think that is a fair question, tbh (and I am not a fan of Shurmur). Whatever the situation is, he is here and the point of these interviews are to get information for the fans about how things are going to improve. We all know his record and Mike can easily say without Shurmur there that he is a bad coach based on his record. Obviosuly, Shurmur thinks he can get the job done and to belittle him to his face really is not the point of the interview. If you want to as DG or John Mara that question, its fair, but to say to a coach your record stinks so why should we have faith in you is really not a constructive question designed to get your listener's information. It is, however, a good question if you want fireworks and ratings, which might be Mike's aim (considering that he is now in a dogfight with Kaye).
across on Monday as a Giants fan who lost money betting on the Giants. He wasn't professional. I get he has a job to do, but there needs to be some form of professionalism.
Was he’s overly sensitive to what’s said about him and not great with the media in general. I think it’s a pretty low bar for the head coach of the New York Giants to go on the radio for 15 minutes a week and deal with some criticism.
Pat Shurmur is 5-13 with the Giants, 15-36 for his career. Why does he deserve the kid gloves treatment? The team he coaches is terrible, bottom of the league.
I’m sure he’d go on Mike’s show if he was 2-0 this season, 13-5 with the Giants, 36-15 for his career. If you can’t take criticism you’re in the wrong line of work. And if he wants softball questions or positivity he should do a better job coaching the team.
My only fear with DJ starting is that he saves this dope’s job.
For whatever monetary amount he was getting for doing these weekly shows, it couldn't be worth it.
You can't tell me this is all just because they took a quarterback in the draft.
You better believe come 3PM today, Mike is going to go on a long epilogue of Giants bashing.

Francesa loved them because Parcells gave him tons of access and that continued throughout the years.
Lol.

Think it was jtgiants
Maybe thats part of it, but this regime has been a shit show. They should be bashed in the media
They won 5 games in their first year and were a lot more competitive. Let's see where it goes from here.

That's looking like fool's gold at this point.

This is too bad as I like the Eli and HC spots. Seems weak too, the last interview was not that bad. Shu
McAdoo canceled too, this is the second coach in a row.

Amen brother. 4:05 Sunday can't come soon enough.
and the winner of the dumbest comment today...

2. Francesa is a crybaby idiot who knows nothing about football and doesn't let anyone speak anyway.
The more people ignore Francesa, the more likely he'll finally go away.
Why would he go on after this? - ( New Window )

Why? He doesn’t have to go on anyone’s show.
Eli was right to cancel his spot due to the situation.
And Shurmur was right to cancel his because Mike is just an absolute clown, ratings or no ratings.
Pat Shurmur is 5-13 with the Giants, 15-36 for his career. Why does he deserve the kid gloves treatment? The team he coaches is terrible, bottom of the league.
