Francis says he can take a point per game off Novak Djokovic, Sas gets cable for his knee

TLDR: Between Sas showing up with hardware on his knee and Francis promising he'd win a point a game against Novak Djokovic, Son of a Boy Dad had itself a week.

It's been a chaotic stretch on Son of a Boy Dad. The crew has spent days needling each other over golf versus tennis, Sas showed up with a knee injury that needed cable to fix, and Francis somehow ended up defending a tennis claim so absurd it got its own headline. None of it is really connected except that it's the same three guys, on the same couch, refusing to let each other breathe.

Sas is getting cable

Whatever exactly "getting cable" means for a knee, it's been enough of a storyline that other clips this week showed Sas needling and getting needled right back, with Francis and Rone reportedly finding new ways to get under his skin mid-show. Nobody's said what happened to the knee in the first place, but the injury has become its own running bit on the feed.

Then there's Francis. During a golf-versus-tennis debate that's apparently consumed the show, he dropped a claim that instantly became the funniest thing anyone said all week: that in a full set against Novak Djokovic, on his own serve, he thinks he could win a point per game.

What’s a harder sport to get into? Golf or Tennis? “I think that if I played Novak Djokovic in a full set of tennis, on my serve, I might win one point per game” -Francis

For context on how big a swing that take is: Djokovic is 38 years old, just finished as the Australian Open runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz in a four-set final, and is still ranked No. 3 in the world while chasing his 25th Grand Slam title. This is not a guy in decline for recreational-tennis purposes. Eric Hubbs put it plainly on Twitter, calling Francis's take "one of the most delusional things ever said," and it's hard to argue with him.

Francis wasn't exactly building a case for elite athleticism, either. In a separate clip, he was filmed eating an entire chicken straight out of a container on a car ride — not for content, according to the person who posted it, but for what was described as "lean gains."

The other side of Francis trash video is he was eating an entire chicken on the car ride, not for content, just for lean gains

So that's the state of the podcast right now: Sas nursing a knee that needs cable, Francis convinced he can hang with a top-3 player on serve while fueling up on whole chickens between takes. None of it is high stakes, but it's exactly the kind of bit that keeps a show like this growing — and it's not hard to see why fans keep clipping every second of it.
