I found this clip via Awful Announcing and it first appeared on TheMikeFrancesa. I watch Francesa on a near-daily basis, so I’m familiar with his attempts to feign knowledge on a wide range of subjects. He does this so often that there is an entire fake list of his areas of expertise (excerpted below the video). As many of you may know, Francesa doesn’t know a thing about technology. He used to sit in the studio with the newspaper — you know, the one printed on actual paper — in front of him before his recent switch to leaving ESPN.com up at all times.
Predictably, Francesa had to get his two cents in on the Erin Andrews incident and then it took a turn for the worst. He starts to talk about the circumstances surrounding the posting of the video… and then gets stuck in a quagmire. I’m convinced that Francesa still considers the Internet some kind of “black magic”. It’s obvious that Francesa has little knowledge of computers other than visiting ESPN.com and browsing softcore pornography. These lines are classic: “I’m not smart enough about computers to… A) how you… bring a piece of video to da Internet. I don’t know what you do to put it on da Internet. I don’t know how you do dat.” What’s part B, Mike?!? The video is after the jump (the good stuff starts a bit before the minute mark) followed by Mike Francesa’s faux resume.
