Mike Francesa apologizes for Jason Kelce rant; longtime ESPN broadcaster calls his last game

Last week, former WFAN host Mike Francesa offered a searing hot take on Jason Kelce’s impassioned speech from the Eagles’ Super Bowl parade, calling the offensive lineman a “moron” and suggesting the two-time Pro Bowler should be fired for his “profanity-laced stupidity.”

But Thursday morning, during an interview with SportsRadio 94.1 WIP’s Angelo Cataldi, Francesa was singing an entirely different tune after having watched the speech again.

“I wouldn’t cut him. I apologize to him for that,” Francesa said. “It was not as bad as I thought. I just wish he would have raised his vocabulary a little because it was a great speech.
