Francesa, Jets detente?
When the Jets invited WFAN to do a show from their practice facility, the station wasn’t sure that Mike Francesa’s program was included. The team said it was.
Still, Francesa was skeptical, given the tense relationship between the Jets and the host last season. “I said, ‘I don’t believe it,’’’ he said Tuesday.
So he figured he would call the Jets’ bluff by demanding interviews with owner Woody Johnson, GM Mike Tannenbaum, coach Rex Ryan, quarterback Mark Sanchez and cornerback Darrelle Revis.
“They emailed back that they would promise all those people,’’ Francesa said. “I was very surprised, exceptionally surprised.’’The result: Francesa will visit Aug. 11 after that day’s Mets game, perhaps a step toward normalizing relations with the team.
“I’m not sure; I’ll take it at face value right now,’’ Francesa said. “I’ll go out there with an open mind and a clean slate.’’Neil Best, Newsday
