Mike Francesa is having fun at Giants’ expense

WFAN host Mike Francesa continued his barrage of the New York Giants and Pat Shurmur following their Week 12 loss to Chicago.

There is obviously no love lost between the New York Giants and WFAN’s Mike Francesa these days. More specifically, there is no love lost between Francesa and both general manager Dave Gettleman and head coach Pat Shurmur.

The war of words between the two sides has raged since earlier this offseason when Francesa essentially called the Giants a losing organization, a circus and then went on to question the character of rookie cornerback Corey Ballentine after he was injured and his friend murdered in a completely random shooting.

Francesa also took aim at veteran quarterback Eli Manning, who had cancelled his weekly radio appearance on the host’s afternoon show. That was then followed up by similar cancellations courtesy of Gettleman and Shurmur, leaving Francesa holding a “struggling radio host” charity cup outside the WFAN offices.

But with the Giants in the midst of a seven-game losing streak and one of the driest stretches in franchise history, Francesa couldn’t help but to kick the team while they are down.

Francesa’s take is hardly as scathing as we’ve seen, but there’s little doubt he’s enjoying the Giants’ failures and is eagerly awaiting the moment Shurmur is fired so that he can celebrate getting one right.

Of course, if the Giants do fire Shurmur and then hire Jason Garrett, as the recent rumors would seem to suggest, Francesa is already waiting to pounce on that as well.

Like or dislike Francesa, he’s obviously not wrong with his recent criticisms, but the personal gratification he seems to draw from this is a little odd.
