Long time WFAN host Mike Francesa went on an epic rant about James Franklin calling time out to ice the Georgia State FG kicker, up 11 seconds left up 56-0:
On Monday, WFAN talk-show host Mike Francesa unleashed on Franklin in a screaming rant, calling the coach a “horse’s ass,” a “stooge,” a “jerk” and an “absolute disgrace”
“It’s 56-0, let him kick the ball! And then try to lie about it. What a stooge,” Francesa said. “What he hasn’t got is any class, because why would you do that to a kid up 56-0?! ‘We had our fourth team on the field, we didn’t have a fourth-team field-goal block.’ What the heck do you need to block it for?! Let the ball go through the uprights, you jerk. So he calls timeout to get the second-team field-goal block in. What a bunch of garbage that is. He sells you that, he’ll sell you anything. The guy iced him, plain and simple, because he wanted a shutout.”
