Mike Francesa is a Douche

Darrelle Revis Hangs up on Mike Francesa

Francesa is a Jets Hater. He makes it so obvious it is sickening. But he does it for a reason. He knows how sensitive Jets fans are and he knows how we react with we listen to him. I pull my hair out listening to this guy. But I can't tune away. He's the kind of guy you love to hate if you are a Jet fan. It makes me want to go out an beat up on the Buffalo Bills that much more. 

In this clip Francesa is interviewing Darrelle Revis and insists that Revis fouled Brandon Marshall in the Jets Monday Night Football Victory over the Dolphins when he intercepted a Matt Moore pass. This is from the YES Network Simulcast of Francesa afternoon show on WFAN-AM. Francesa won't let the issue go. He said he was going to move on but he wasn't Revis was getting pissed and he knew it. This is what Francesa feeds on and I still stand by the fact that he is a douche. 

However, from a public relations stand point the Jets screwed up. Having the PR guy come on the phone and tell Revis to hang up is against PR 101. Revis was handling himself fine. If Francesa want to have an argument let him, Revis was making good points. Coming on like that and telling him to hang up makes Revis and the Jets seem weak. The Jets are know for their big mouths. All I'm saying is let em talk. 

All Alone on Revis Island

Darrelle Revis breaks up a pass intended for Vincent Jackson

He's not the biggest guy on the field. He's not the fastest, although he's pretty damn close. But he's the best defensive player in the NFL. A Rex Ryan defense needs a shut down corner like Darrelle Revis. He pretty much shuts down one entire side of the field. And what happens when a quarterback goes after a receiver on Revis Island? Reference above. Or, below. 

Revis Interception returned for Touchdown

It's gotten to the point where quarterbacks, if they're smart, don't even throw in his direction. Last year Revis was all pro. Expected. How many interceptions did he have? None. Still all pro. How can you be an all pro cornerback and not even have any stats in the most importance defensive back category? When you strike fear into quarterbacks around the league. For this year, it's almost a given that Revis will receive all pro honors again, but can he lead his team to another AFC Championship? With a couple of interceptions already on the season, three in the last two Jets victories, I'd say Darrelle Revis has the Jets back on the right track.
