With his time mercifully winding down at WFAN, Mike Francesa used Tuesday’s show to once again take aim at the New York Giants, co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch, and just about anyone and everything else from within the organization.
Still stinging from the offseason rebuke and essentially being kicked out of Club Big Blue, Francesa lit into the Giants after Tisch briefly met with the media at The March of Dimes Luncheon, where he told NBC’s Bruce Beck that he and Mara need to get on the same page.
“They need to get on the same page,” Francesa said, avoiding his usual on-air nap. “And decide how they are going to restructure this Giant organization. That doesn’t just deal with general manager. That deals with general manager, coach, every facet of how you do your organization. Every single part has to be examined.
“You wonder now if they are even on the same page. That could be part of the problem because I believe there are a lot of parts to this problem. We get on Gettleman and Shurmur, rightfully so, but the Giants problems run deeper than that right now. They run right through the structure of this organization. . . This organization has to decide how it’s going to be as far as how it runs itself as a football entity and that’s where the owners come in.”
The Giants have had communication issues from top to bottom, and it doesn’t appear that anyone is on the same page. However, the organization has ironically and universally agreed on one thing this year: no Mike Francesa.
Go figure.
But Francesa does bring up one solid point that we at Giants Wire touched on yesterday — it’s beginning to sound like Mara and Tisch have a suddenly rocky relationship and that, maybe, they are trending in different directions regarding the team’s future.
“The Giants have fallen off the track in every way possible, which is why they are where they are right now,” Francesa said. “At the bottom of the league and staring down the No. 1 pick, having the worst record in the NFL since the start of the 2017 season.
“We haven’t heard a word from John Mara … but this today jumped out at me because this shows the problems run even deeper than you might think they do. Those problems at the top with Mara and Tisch have to be settled before anything else can be settled because they have to agree on where they’re taking the franchise.”
