Boomer & Gio

Hour 1 Jerry and CLo are here for the final Football Friday of the 2024 calendar year. Once again the locals are playing meaningless games. The Jets need to hire a GM and HC while the Giants could be looking for their next QB if they are able to lock down the first overall pick. Jerry and CLo think Deion Sanders and everything he knows makes his son Shedeur a more enticing prospect, not less. Pat Shurmur is Sanders’ offensive coordinator at Colorado. Is his influence a negative for Giants fans? Since the Giants could have the top pick and their choice of a QB it’s much easier to see how they can climb back to relevancy than how the Jets can pull it off. Pat Boyle is here for his first update of the day and begins with the Bears win over the Seahawks in a 6-3 snoozefest on Thursday night. The Nets are winning too many games for a team that is supposed to be tanking. Rutgers blew a big 4th quarter lead in the Rate Bowl in Arizona last night. Deion Sanders told his Colorado players he better not smell any smoke in the team hotel or it will be their last puff. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry and CLo says it’s still hard to comprehend just how badly this season went for the Jets. Hour 2 Carlos Baerga reported that the Mets offered Pete Alonso a three year contract for $90 million with opt-outs after every year. What team could swoop in and steal Pete away from the Mets? CLo wonders if there’s more of a disconnect between the Mets and Alonso than there appears to be. Jerry wonders if opt outs would lead to Alonso struggling in 2025 like he did in 2024 but CLo thinks that kind of contract is the best of both worlds for both parties. Pat returns for an update but first, CLo gives Pat some heat for leaving out important details of a story yesterday. We learn some interesting details about Pat’s dating life. Caleb Williams and the Bears added another loss to a rough season last night. Rutgers fell apart late in the Rate Bowl and lost to Kansas State. Jim Nantz, Tony Romo and Tracy Wolfson made a promo using Gen Z slang. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry begins the countdown of 2024’s best Moments of the Day. Hour 3 CLo and Jerry wonder how much different things could be for the Giants this time next year with a rookie QB. Will the Giants be like this year’s Commanders or will they be more like the Bears? Jerry and CLo agree the Giants should keep Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll. Jerry doesn’t think there are good alternatives for the Giants if they do move on from Daboll. CLo wonders what is going on with the Jets coaching staff and their unwillingness to play younger players and develop them. Pat returns for an update and begins with what Jerry calls another boring football game. The Bears were on the verge of improving to 5-2 when the Commanders converted a Hail Mary. Instead they lost that game and last night was their 10th straight defeat. The Bears had strange clock management late in a game yet again. The Nets won a game against the Bucks, whose stars did not play. Miami head basketball coach Jim Larranaga retired effective immediately and Jerry mentioned some of the problems plaguing college sports. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry and CLo say the NFL and NBA’s ratings on Christmas prove that the NFL is king and no other sport is close, regardless of how good or bad the games are. Hour 4 SNY reporter and anchor Jeané Coakley calls in to discuss everything that went wrong for Gang Green in 2024. She has covered the Jets for 15 mostly losing seasons but believes this is the worst one because of the high expectations. Jeané agrees with Jerry and CLo that it’s hard to put a finger on how or why things went so south this season. Jeané provides the pros and cons of bringing Aaron Rodgers back. Pat returns for his final update of the day and has audio of Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit joking that the Seahawks and Bears game matched the score of a Mariners/White Sox matchup this summer. CLo was awestruck by the ...
