Mike Francesa Eloquently Announces New Pope, Says Cardinal 11 Times [Video]
The Mike Francesa listening experience, summed up in 211 hypnotizing seconds.
To summarize, the Argentinian Cardinal, Jorge Bergoglio, is the new pope and is 76 years old. Now say that 19 times in a row in 19 different ways, with a sincere look of grand confusion, like a black lab that just watched his tennis ball roll into the sewer. My favorite snippet from this mess might be the line of “so they went for an older pope,” as though they might’ve had their eye on a young gun in the farm system. The only surprise is that Francesa didn’t introduce him as new pope and former Cardinals catcher, Joe Garagiola.
UPDATE: Better video now with the added bonus of four more Cardinals, bringing the grand total to 15 Cardinals.

At least he doesn’t stutter.

Still better than Anderson Cooper. “So you saw the white smoke? How did that make you feel?”

This site is the probably only time I’ve ever heard/seen this Francesca guy. Might have seen him on some NFL Net top 10 shows.

A better reaction would have been Francesa announcing the new pope, then promptly falling asleep on the air again.

Of course the person watching that garbage is using a tube tv and recording it with what is likely a gigantic, 10 year old camcorder.
There is probably a newspaper with cactus league scores underlined nearby.

Damn..titans aign shonn greene, delany walker, and andy levitre. Levitre is a big loss for Buffalo. He is a really good offensive lineman.

I put here.

Delany Walker clearly in it for the paycheck if you are leaving SF for the Titans and Jake Locker.

White, Southern men are stupid though.

Tim: That should be “Joe Garagiola” – but you’re still more accurate than Francesa.
