It would be exceptionally challenging to explain Mike Francesa to someone who is not familiar with what he does. The good news is that no one will ever have to do this; I promise that no one who does not already know Mike Francesa wants you to change that. You could say something like "He's a legendary and legendarily impatient sports radio figure who owns two of every quarter-zip sweater that Jos. A. Bank ever made, in every color," and that would all be quite true, but it wouldn't really cover how weird Francesa has become in his dotage, and how strange and sigh-heavy and conflicted his show has become as a result.This is what happens when someone tries to bullshit his way through NCAA picks after watching zero games this season.— Funhouse (@SportsFunhouse)March 16, 2017
