Francesa Feuding With John Buccigross And ESPN Over Who Broke Rangers News
Wednesday Afternoon, After Francesa Announced On WFAN that the Rangers Fired John Tortorella:
John Buccigross Responds:
Francesa Fires Back:
Ahhh yes. The amazing world of undoubtedly overpaid sports broadcasters cat fighting over who said something first. The Rangers HAD ALREADY RELEASED THIS NEWS. Nobody broke this story except for the team. Are we going to credit the Rangers for “scooping” this story? Are we gonna “hat tip” Glen Sather? “Rangers GM Glen Sather reports John Tortorella has been fired. Hat tip Rangers GM Glen Sather.” Honestly the whole world has gone fucking insane with asking for credit for shit on the internet. Fighting over who said something on social media 10 seconds before someone else. Thats what the world has come to.
As for that last clip of Francesa vs. Buccigross – Absolutely classic Mike. John…Boo-chee? Boo-chee grows? We could be talking about Adam Schefter and he’d be like “Who’s that? No idea who that is.” If we’re not talking about Jim Nantz, Francesa basically has absolutely no idea who anyone else in the media world is. “Just a nameless faceless guy at ESPN.” Amazing.
PS – “I take zero information from ESPN. I take zero information from anybody.” Possibly the most absurd, cocky thing Mike has ever said. He’s just an oracle of knowledge. All information he disseminates comes from within. From his Diet Cokes lips to Francesa’s ears, all info comes directly from Pope Francesa.
