Mike Francesa Says Jason Kelce Should be “Cut” After Parade Speech
Published:
Recently retired New York blowhard Mike Francesa wasn’t a fan of Jason Kelce’s Super Bowl parade speech.
I missed it earlier this week, but apparently Francesa, with that repulsive accent of his, went on the “WOR Sports Zone” with some guy named “Sal Licata” (a real person) to discuss Kelce’s address.
Listen after the jump:
Francesa on Kelce:
“Should have stayed home, the jerk. Why is it that I have to be in my car when these guys win championships, and they decide that they are going to grace the audience with this profanity-laced stupidity? You gotta turn it off, your kids can’t even listen to it. He sounded like a total moron. How about going up there and being a champion and acting like a champion and not acting like a total moron? I turn that stuff off. I’ve seen LeBron James do that, now I’ve seen him do that. You know what? It’s not the time or place. You ever hear about winning like a champion? Somebody should have taken a hook and pulled him off.”
(some blabbing here)
“People were replaying it like it was the greatest thing in the world. How dumb are you to replay that? I wouldn’t give that one second of airtime. That’s embarrassing. That’s not the time or place to do that. You got kids who take off from school. You got families who, this is a life experience for them, to be at a parade for a Super Bowl for a city, and you go up there and get into a 15-minute, profanity-laced tirade? It’s ridiculous. Nobody wants to hear that. If I was the owner of the team, I’d cut him.”
He says some more stuff about the Eagles after that and actually credits the team and the front office for the Super Bowl win.
You can listen to that if you want, or you can watch this again:
