A day after escalating a verbal sparring match with fellow WFAN 660 AM / 101.9 FM host Gregg Giannotti — and making back-page news in The NYPost — Francesa went on the air to try to guide the conversation back to the ostensible topic of his show.
But not before saving a little pity for himself and accusing the media of hypocrisy.
“It’s in one ear and out the other,” Francesa said of the criticisms lobbed his way. “I rarely react, and if I do, it is always a big deal. The way this works is because it is me, they are allowed to beat on me. I’m not allowed to beat on anybody.”
On Thursday, Giannotti, co-host of the “Boomer and Gio” morning show, called Francesa an “insecure bully” who is “narcissistic and miserable.”
Of course, those comments came in response to Francesa saying the “Boomer and Gio” show “stinks” and taking particular umbrage with Giannotti’s impersonations of Francesa.
Francesa had no trouble Friday playing the victim on the same day he and Giannotti appeared on the back page of The Post under the headline “FAN DUEL.”
“It is just a one-way street,” Francesa said. “If I ever open my mouth, then it is a big story. So, I understand that. Listen, make it about sports. Don’t make it about me. When you get a slow news day, [The Post] put me on the back cover for whatever reason.
