During today’s Mike Francesa show in Tampa, FL, the Pope decided that he doesn’t like being shot from the side. As he was coming back from break on both WFAN and YES, Francesa saw a camera shot of him from his right side and he immediately went off on the production crew. It reminds me of Barbra Streisand who insists on being shot from her left side because it makes her look more feminine. Now, this is Francesa who doesn’t like being shown from any side and insisted the YES cameras focus on him from the front.
This is becoming fodder for Francesa observers who watch for this stuff every day. Here’s the video which comes to us from the television circa 1973 owned by Sports Illustrated’s Jimmy Traina. Upgrade the TV, Jimmy!
Along with the story that Francesa required a police escort to his flight to New Orleans (since denied by Franchesa) and 2013 is starting like gangbusters for the little fat man.
