Did Mike Francesa Fall Asleep Again While on the Air?
Mongo Nation received another windfall Friday when its dear leader, Mike Francesa, closed his eyes and appeared to take not one, but two, tiny traipses into dreamland.
BobsBlitz.com (h/t Awful Announcing) spotted footage of Francesa’s subtle waltz with Mr. Sandman. The incident occurred when the WFAN archbishop began taking calls on the New York Jets' quarterback situation, among other spellbinding storylines.

Count it up, everyone. Twice Francesa closed his eyes, and twice his glasses clanked unceremoniously against the microphone stand.
Of course, this is the second show during which Francesa may or may not have dozed off in the middle of a phone call. The 60-year-old radio host nodded off during a 2012 radio call-in from New York Yankees beat reporter Sweeny Murti. All the Diet Coke in the cooler couldn’t keep Francesa awake for Murti’s excessively optimistic Yankees rundown.
What’s to be done here? Clearly, caffeine is no longer an option for Francesa. Not even the most reprehensibly sized Red Bull could keep someone alert for an afternoon of Giants hypothesizing and A-Rod apologists.
Keep those peepers open, Mike. The legions of viewers actively watching Fox Sports 2 depend on you.
