Please excuse the gaping forehead gash.
Thankfully, Mike Francesa’s got it bandaged up.
The legendary former WFAN host addressed the elephant above his eyebrows on an episode of “The Mike Francesa Podcast” Tuesday.
“I took [my son] Harrison back to school today, and it was a very cold and windy day,” Francesa, 70, began, per a clip posted by @BackAftaThis on X. “I was reaching into the trunk to take out a couple of these bags … and the wind blew the trunk down on my head and cut my head open.
“Under this bandage I actually need stitches,” he continued, touching at the spot. “But I can’t get stitches because the cut is too wide. It has to heal first. Then they’ll stitch it and re-stitch it when they can re-stitch it … I actually bashed my head open with the trunk of my car today. So, that was my afternoon.”

The polar vortex pummeling the country this week has sent bone-chilling temperatures from Salt Lake City to Kansas City to Fairfield, Conn., where Harrison Francesa attends college (they grow up so quickly!).
And in the Land of Steady Habits, just like in the Empire State, unrelenting winds are only adding to the despair.
It’s an atmospheric onslaught of historic proportions and it spares none — not even the “Sports Pope.”
“A lot of times you can do something really dumb,” he said Tuesday. “I, uh — I didn’t — it was just kinda mother nature. It was very windy and I reached with both hands into the trunk and the wind — it really was a gust, we were kinda on a hill there — and the gust of wind threw the hood down onto my head.
“You might see that bandage for a couple days,” Francesa concluded. “It’s a pretty ugly cut.”
So far, this injury is not keeping Francesa off the airwaves.
A Long Beach native, Francesa rose to acclaim in the 1990s and 2000s as one half of the uber-popular “Mike and the Mad Dog” show, broadcast on WFAN from 1989-2008.
Francesa embarked on a solo career following the culmination of the show and has hosted “The Mike Francesa Podcast” since 2022.
Of late, he has been seen advocating for Woody Johnson to hand the Jets over to Rex Ryan, carte blanche, and imploring the Mets to choose first-pitch-tossers without lurid nicknames that describe sexual acts, particularly on “Camp Day.”
