Yesterday, A Radio Host Almost Had A Stroke Talking About How Bad The New York Jets Were


On Sunday night in Baltimore, the New York Jets were putrid. Quarterback Mark Sanchez went 11-for-35 for 119 yards (and fumbled four times), running back Shonn Greene had 23 yards on 10 carries, and the offensive line, without center Nick Mangold, looked overmatched by constant pressure from the Ravens. The final score was 34-17, but it could have been (and probably should have been) a lot worse.

Titan of New York sports radio Mike Francesa is aware of all of this. Monday during his afternoon radio show on WFAN, Francesa, who is known to be tough on the Jets, went on a 14-plus minute tirade against the team. He took special and precise care to point out every single player and coach who had “mortified themselves in front of America” with their play on Sunday night. No one was spared.

RELATED: Five announcers who briefly lost their minds on air.

The rant is a long one, so below the video we have a guide to some of Francesa’s key points as it pertains to the awfulness of the New York Jets. Enjoy.

00:01: You almost feel sorry for the Jets.

00:10: Rex Ryan‘s upper lip was quivering a little bit after the game.

00:17: The Jets mortified America.

00:59: In lieu of coming up with a strategy to beat the Ravens, the Jets offensive coaches may or may not have vacationed in the Cayman Islands or something.

01:11: The coach has no clue.

01:35: The botched snaps: Mark Sanchez’ fault.

01:36-01:50: Gargling noises.

01:51: “Please, me! Me! Me! No, me, let me go! Me! Me! My turn!”

02:55: The Jets. The coaches. Rex. Sanchez. The wide receivers should be included in this too: they all quit. They flat quit.

03:43: Chuck and duck.

4:45: The Jets defense is not the ’85 Bears.

07:32: Santonio Holmes is missing.

07:52: Mark Sanchez is missing his receivers by 20 or 30 yards, and is hitting guys in the backs of their legs. This is very amusing.

08:03: The Ravens were laughing at the Jets on Sunday night.

10:12: The quarterback is completely lost. It’s bewildering how bad this offensive line is. Derrick Mason just wants to fight with the other team. Plaxico Burress has a short attention span. Again, Santonio Holmes is missing. Dustin Keller is frightened by Ray Lewis. Shonn Greene is not a franchise running back.

14:20: Ya Jet calls, after Mink.
