0.031 - 25.129 Boomer Esiason

25.149 - 41.656 Boomer Esiason

What's happening? Gee, what is going on? Good morning, good morning, good morning. Yeah, there's not much going on. I got to tell you, it was a day yesterday where it was a relaxing day. Didn't feel like I had a lot of pressure on me. You know what I mean? You know, you feel like some days you got a lot of pressure on you. Yesterday didn't feel like I had a lot of pressure on me.

0

41.857 - 58.846 Boomer Esiason

Yesterday did feel like a good spring day, though, if it wasn't for the damn snow on the ground. Like, it felt like we're turning the corner. The sun was bright. It was high. I feel like we're getting there. Yeah, we have kids of the age, though, that when they're home from school, like they're home from school right now, you got to keep them constantly entertained.

0

59.406 - 74.892 Boomer Esiason

That's the only issue I have going on. If that's the only issue I have going on, it's a pretty good life. You're doing just fine. You know what I mean? Yeah, I've been there, done that. I'm a little beyond you, but yes, I know what you mean. I find out when I, or I've tried to teach myself when I say that I'm bored, that bored's probably a good thing.

0

75.445 - 92.104 Boomer Esiason

Because all of the other options that could be going on, boredom's not so bad. Yeah, no, I hear you. Because then nothing terrible is happening. You know what the problem with being bored is? You had 800 steps on Sunday. You didn't need another 800-step Monday. No, I went to a simulator yesterday. Okay, there you go. I did do that.

92.084 - 109.62 Boomer Esiason

And then did a bunch of stuff with the kids afterwards when I got home. So, no, actually, yesterday was an active day for me. Good. After a Sunday of just laying there like a total pile of crap watching golf. I pulled your Sunday on Monday watching Landman. Oh, yeah, you're into Landman, huh? Yeah, I watched a couple of those yesterday, yes.

109.6 - 134.089 Boomer Esiason

paramount plus landman yeah absolutely i'm a big paramount plus guy everybody loves that landman it's you know what i was never a big fan of billy bob thornton his character in this show is outstanding and not to be a pig but the girls well everybody says that when they call up here yeah no i know it's a really good show so so far so good it's all right be a pig you know well yeah i guess so i suppose

134.069 - 153.457 Boomer Esiason

I mean, they're putting them on there for a reason, right? Dude, it is just ridiculous. They didn't hire Lizzo and put her in the show. You know what I mean? No, it's a good show. I enjoy it. I think I'm four in, but pretty good. So that kept me busy for a couple hours yesterday. So I see this Tyreek. Hill news, how the Dolphins end up releasing him, and two thoughts came to my mind.

153.597 - 171.341 Boomer Esiason

One is that that team's going to be really bad, and they're probably – I mean, I can't imagine that Tua's going to continue to be there or what they're going to do with him, but I feel like they are going into straight tank mode right now, and this is a team that's going to try to get one of the quarterbacks next year and maybe even Arch Manning.

Chapter 2: How does the Dolphins' release of Tyreek Hill impact their future?

551.365 - 556.673 Boomer Esiason

I mean, think about him when he, after the season, not this past year, but the previous year, was like, I'm out of here. Screw.

0

556.653 - 579.91 Boomer Esiason

this at the end of the season okay all right terrible teammate jerk and then this year he gets hurt and starts clapping and cheering as he's going off the field because he knows he doesn't have to be a part of the team the rest of the year and he's still gonna get paid oh yeah i mean he was look at him he was he was so into this and then even yes thank you yes look at him see smiling and laughing yes bye yeah

0

579.89 - 593.062 Boomer Esiason

Look, yes, that's what he was saying. You can't tell me that he lost his mind because he got hurt. He was thrilled. And there was even video of him in the ambulance still smiling. But he's got the most touchdowns of 50-plus yards, the fourth most in the history of the league.

0

593.763 - 612.24 Boomer Esiason

And then you've got guys out there who have lawsuits against the league that can't get head coaching jobs, like Brian Flores and John Gruden, for different reasons. But those guys are completely untouchable because they've got lawsuits against the league. But this guy will be in a training camp with no problem. No, he will be. Bring him right in. No problem. Yeah. Guy sucks.

0

612.881 - 613.641 Unknown

Yeah.

613.661 - 636.823 Boomer Esiason

And people will be wearing his jersey, and they'll be cheering for him when he's running down the sideline if that does happen. But, I mean, he's 33 now. He's not as quick as he was coming off a major injury. Yeah. Yes, you are correct. But he's 33, and he's not 43. And in this day and age, guys are playing longer and are sustaining their athleticism longer. So, you know, the rumor is Kansas City.

636.843 - 656.117 Boomer Esiason

Would you be shocked if he was a chief? No, I wouldn't. All of that will just get swallowed up because everybody thinks that Andy Reid is just like football Santa Claus and he's the coolest guy in the world. That franchise should be ashamed of themselves with some of the nonsense that has gone on with the supporter of She-Rice and that they bring this idiot back.

656.097 - 674.578 Boomer Esiason

But just like it's because it's Andy Reid and he's got his big mustache and he's roly-poly and everything's great. I mean, nobody actually questions that organization because they have success. Yeah, they win. I mean, it's the same thing. I remember with the Steelers all those years, like the Steeler way, the Steeler way. I'm like, they bring in as many scummers as anybody else.

674.558 - 693.637 Boomer Esiason

What are you talking about? Well, it's a stealer way out here. Okay, you got your quarterback who's getting accused of rape down in Georgia. You got this other guy who's going completely crazy, quitting on the sidelines. You got people all over the place doing horrible things. It's insane. This isn't the first time. It ain't going to be the last time. It's big business.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Tyreek Hill's history on his career?

946.133 - 964.105 Boomer Esiason

I'm more concerned about what happens here than I am with the Minnesota Vikings and what's going on with the teams here. That impacts my life a hell of a lot more. And even if the Vikings ended up winning the Super Bowl, it would be for all the teams that I grew up watching. I wouldn't necessarily have the connection with these guys because I'm older than all of them.

0

964.786 - 987.303 Boomer Esiason

We're older than the coaches now. I would just be happy if they had like... If they won a Super Bowl and up in the box I look over there and I see Randy Moss and John Randall and whomever else. Maybe the guys like Alan Page or something, even though it was before my time. That would be the thing. Unfortunately, there's a lot of people who have passed away over the years, including Denny Green.

0

988.024 - 1009.383 Boomer Esiason

I'd be happy for that. All those years that they weren't winning. I hope Tyra Kill doesn't come here. I did think it was funny, though, just being mentioned the Vikings when Al and Sula were talking about that Sears catalog, that the Vikings were the team that was featured with those pajamas. And I guess, I mean, they were in the Super Bowl, what? They lost four of them in the 70s?

0

1009.403 - 1031.45 Boomer Esiason

They lost four of them, yeah. So they were maybe not... You know, they weren't the Steelers because the Steelers went to 4-1-4, but they were a damn good franchise for that decade. Damn good. And you fast forward to 2026, and now you want to burn. That's all I can say. You want the most. You're going to pour gasoline on your pajamas as opposed to the flame-retardant pajamas. Understood.

1031.47 - 1054.958 Boomer Esiason

All right. It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, Boomer and Geo on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Why do you let your kids play hockey in your foyer? We did that. We did that, too. As opposed to where? We don't have a basement. That seems like you're going to get your house destroyed. It's pretty much, yeah. Again, it's floor hockey, mini hockey.

1054.978 - 1059.024 Boomer Esiason

It's not like full-fledged, full-size nets. So much fun. Full sticks. It is.

1059.185 - 1059.866 Unknown

It's a blast.

1059.886 - 1080.405 Boomer Esiason

It is fun. It's just, I mean, the house is... A disaster. Yeah. We used to have like his kids, my two boys too. And we would have the mini sticks that we would get at like the devil's games. And we would have the sponge pucks. And we had one of those faux hardwood floors in my other house. We would have slap shop marks all over. We would buy rugs just to cover them.

1080.385 - 1081.627 Jerry Recco

That's exactly what we're dealing with.

Chapter 4: What was the midday debate about Brian Cashman's remarks?

3612.691 - 3630.538 Boomer Esiason

Marash didn't like it. Even Tiki was kind of, oh, not great. So then it was, how do we think McMonagle is going to react to this, being the in-house Yankee shill that he is? So Marash and Evan were discussing. He'll defend him. Oh, just a quick saying. I mean, what are you talking about here? See, I think you guys are wrong. You think he's going to rip him? Yeah. I'd love to fire his ass.

0

3630.518 - 3647.005 Boomer Esiason

I kind of do because this is one of those mistakes that I'm not sure how every Yankee fan feels about it. I just know that this would piss me off. It's, you know, a baseball nerd, baseball guy, right? So instead of waiting to see if they talk about it on the afternoon show, they're like, let's just go get him. He's always here early. We'll get him out in the newsroom.

0

3647.025 - 3653.235 Boomer Esiason

We'll put him on the spot so he would saunter in. Against Toronto and the ALCS. Good thoughts.

0

Chapter 5: How do fans perceive Steve Cohen's management of the Mets?

3658.261 - 3676.088 Boomer Esiason

He said the ALCS instead of the ALDS. Did you just hear it? I did hear that, yes. Do you want me to play it again? No, I heard it. You've already failed. Yeah, I mean. You want me to get angry about it? No, I'm asking you your opinion on it. I mean, my gut is it's the slip of the tongue. Oh, come on. I told you he would defend him. I'm not defending him.

0

3676.148 - 3676.829 Unknown

So there we go.

0

3677.23 - 3685.918 Boomer Esiason

As he goes into his... Well, I mean, it's clear that Brian Cashman knows when they got eliminated. But the midday guys, the guys weren't so sure. I mean, that's ridiculous. All right. So you're in CMAX.

0

3685.978 - 3687.24 Greg Giannotti

He's a lot of seasons, man.

0

3687.26 - 3700.199 Boomer Esiason

They all blend. I mean, does he really think... If you asked him right now if he thought that... Like, Brian Cashman today... Ryan, were you guys in the ALCS last year? You think he has a chance? He says yes.

Chapter 6: What are the key concerns for the Mets heading into the season?

3700.339 - 3719.29 Boomer Esiason

Probably not. Especially now, a couple days removed from it because I'm sure he's been made aware. He knows what happened. I understand and I appreciate the effort of those guys and trying to stir it up with C-Mac. But there's absolutely no way he wasn't aware of where they finished last year. When they got eliminated.

0

3719.37 - 3720.432 Jerry Recco

Two other things.

0

3720.412 - 3726.117 Boomer Esiason

One, as they finally were done with him before he left the studio, he had some parting words. You guys are weird.

0

3726.738 - 3727.318 Fernando Rutherford

I don't know why.

0

3727.338 - 3738.508 Boomer Esiason

You guys are just flat out weird. You're trying to kill Cashman for everything. This is why I'm the shill. Because you're killing him over nonsense. And I got to go in here and go, come on, you know it's nonsense. And so then I'm the bad guy. I'll be the bad guy.

3738.848 - 3739.949 Jerry Recco

That's fine. I'll be the bad guy.

3739.969 - 3758.127 Boomer Esiason

At one point, Evan was like, get the hell out of here. Like he was so, Evan was convinced that he thought this was a real slip up by Cashman. Was he? I'm just telling you what he said, at least how he played it off on the air. So now flash forward a few hours, the Judge audio comes out, and the afternoon show's playing some of it back, just as we did last hour.

3758.227 - 3770.559 Jerry Recco

So Craig took the side of Judge was annoyed with the Yanks in the offseason, thinks he wanted additional players signed or added. There should have been a follow-up question. So C-Mac, of course, defends Judge and the team, perhaps rightfully so.

3770.579 - 3783.73 Boomer Esiason

I think Judge was talking about the idea that... The beginning of the offseason was very slow, and they didn't make a lot of moves. I think he has a lot. He just said he wanted Bellinger back. Who else are they going to go get? Now I get it.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of Aaron Judge's comments on the Yankees?

7030.274 - 7031.135 Boomer Esiason

He's 83.

0

7032.117 - 7034.882 Fernando Rutherford

I like tall, skinny redheads.

0

7034.982 - 7060.894 Boomer Esiason

I'm sorry. He was 83 in 2024. 86. So he's too old at this point. And then the other one that I saw, but again, too nice, but it looks presidential, is Brad Nessler. Looks very presidential to me. Yeah. No, you're right. Those are good ones, looking very presidential. But you also need someone who's got a little red ass. Yes. Well, that is true.

0

7060.954 - 7065.099 Boomer Esiason

And then you would have to come back to, you brought up Burkhardt, who is too nice.

0

Chapter 8: How does the discussion about coaching changes tie into team performance?

7065.239 - 7091.645 Boomer Esiason

Yeah, he's too nice, too. What about former players? If Stephen A. Smith would then become, I think, a former sports personality to do this, what type of former player would you say? Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning. Yeah, Peyton Manning. I could see him being very opinionated, too. And people very likable. Very likable. I've seen him argue. I've seen him get upset. He's a drive next to none.

0

7092.165 - 7113.517 Boomer Esiason

Peyton Manning. I mean, he's leading the team and everything. Without a doubt, it's Peyton Manning. Way more than Tom Brady, who has just gotten so weird. Yeah, no, no, no. Tom Brady. Wasn't Steve Tasker in politics? I'm not sure. I think he was involved. So he could be someone. I could be confusing with someone else. That's completely positive.

0

7113.537 - 7119.809 Boomer Esiason

And who was the baseball player that ran in California and lost? Steve Garvey? Was it Steve Garvey? Yeah. Okay.

0

7119.929 - 7122.735 Jerry Recco

I think you're talking about Steve Largent, maybe, the wide receiver.

0

7122.85 - 7147.042 Boomer Esiason

Yeah, I thought Steve Tasker. Oh, maybe I am. Okay. But he's been doing that for a long time. I thought Tasker got involved in politics, too. I don't know why. But when I think of pro athletes getting into politics at this level, not many. I mean, Peyton Manning was right at the top of your mind. Yeah, I think he'd be great. That's an interesting one. Yeah, I mean, very likable right off the bat.

7147.082 - 7168.101 Boomer Esiason

And I also think I could see him arguing with somebody. Oh, Nate Burleson. Too polished. I mean, the guy does everything. Too polished, though. Do you think he's too polished? I'll give you the guy. I don't know how he missed this one. Shannon Sharp. He'd go kick the crap out of other world leaders. Yeah, that is true.

7168.201 - 7193.198 Boomer Esiason

I mean, the intimidation, the American intimidation factor would be off the charts. Man, my son was watching the LA documentary yesterday, which I saw a few weeks ago. He looks more in shape now doing these interviews in 2026 than watching the old videos of him when he was on the Broncos. It's unbelievable. It's incredible. I mean, we see it here every day with Tiki. Yeah, that's true.

7193.278 - 7214.251 Boomer Esiason

Antiki, I think, is 50 now. Does that sound right? Yeah, no, he's 50. Antiki is in as good a shape as ever. Yeah. It's really remarkable. You see it go one or two ways. They either get in great shape. Or they get fat and sloppy. Or they totally blow up. They never look the same. No, not usually, no, because the offensive linemen have to drop weight in a lot of cases. Or they get humongous.

7214.291 - 7236.055 Boomer Esiason

Correct. And then these other guys that live their life that are just gigantic stay gigantic. Yeah. Yeah, man, I mean, the fact that Tiki was an NFL running back and still runs marathons. Oh, for sure. I mean, his legs are in good enough shape to still be able to do all of that running. So speaking of that relationship. real quick and I gotta find out what the name of this is.
