Continue looking for reruns of The Mike Francesa Show

QUESTION 02

What do you do during a rain delay?


Go home and binge watching 30 For 30s

Wait it out

Get drunk and figure it out from there

Prank call sports talk radio shows

QUESTION 03

Quick! The Kiss Cam has you in its sights -- what do you do?


Ignore it

A little smoochy smooch -- just to keep the crowd from booing

Pretend to have sex for comedic effect

Actually have sex for erotic effect

Depends on whether I'm sitting next to one Michael Patrick Francesa Jr.

QUESTION 04

Sex?

Of course

Not until marriage

Scares the shit out of me

Ew, not with Mike Francesa

Mike Francesa can have whatever he wants

QUESTION 05

Refs make mistakes, teammates underperform and fans act like assholes sometimes. Where is the line when it comes to confrontations?

Disagreements keep things interesting, so long as you make up afterwards

Drama is stupid -- just move on

Every once and awhile a good screaming match is ok but you shouldn't seek them out

Don't get angry -- get even

Let me put it like this -- if some mongo wants to wait on the phone for two hours to embarrass himself on air, I won't stop him

QUESTION 06

Baseball: 'sup with that?

What do you mean? It's awesome

Borrrrrrinnnnnnnng

Going to games is fun because you can hangout and drink but I'm not tuning in every night

I like more progressive sports that actually listen to the fans

Whichever answer will yield "Mike Francesa" at the end of this quiz

QUESTION 07

Hockey: 'sup with that?

The playoffs are fun but the rest of the season doesn't do it for me

I'm not into sports played almost exlcusively by middle/upper-middle class white people, thank you

Violence much? Hockey is for psychos

It's the most exciting sport on Earth

If Mike's not taking calls about hockey, I'm not taking calls about hockey, capece?

QUESTION 08

Soccer: 'sup with that?

Oh, you mean that pretentious snoozefest played by European dancey boys? Ya, no

It truly is the perfect game

I've been trying to get into soccer, I just don't know much about it

People who don't like soccer = stereotypical dumb Americans

Ooh ooh, does Mike Francesa play soccer? If so, put me down for "YES I LOVE SOCCER"

QUESTION 09

Should the NFL continue amending the rules to make the game safer?

Hell no -- if anything they should implement changes to make the game MORE violent

Absolutely -- it's killing people

No -- they've done just enough to make the game safer

Hi Mike, me again
