For years and years I hated Francis, despised the guy. Wouldn't listen to him. But now I am older and started listening to him. I don't agree with his takes most of the time, and I still think he tends to come off as a gossip columnist but the truth is he has the right idea. He has an opinion and it at least gets people going one way or the other. I realize that sometimes I can be a lot like him, very opinionated, and I like me. He would be perfect for the show listenership wise, he would at least create some passion. He might make me want to stop listening at some points but I would come back once in a while and he would bring others in. Also he is very aware that he is there to entertain and because he is one of the few sports journalists who gets that, I appreciate that he knows he is filling a role. Some guys take themselves too seriously.
