Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. And we're coming to you live from the Bill Fuller Tough Studio. Boomer Esiason, Greg Giannotti. It's Boomer and Geo on the fan. Simulcast across the country on CBS Sports Network. And where we are on the free Odyssey app. Good Friday morning. A feel-good Friday. Boomer is with the Wasp hockey team up in Montreal. So, Boomer, how are you?
Good luck to the boys up there. Hopefully they bring back another championship. I know it's very important to them. So that means we've got Jerry this morning. Good morning, Jerry. Gee, what's going on, man? Happy Friday.
How are we doing?
Yes, happy Friday. Pretty good. I was pleased with the Knicks win, even though Jalen Brown didn't play. That was a good thing. Obviously, the Mets and Yankees, annoying losses. And my first day of picks at the Masters were miserable. Absolutely miserable. And I'll talk about it a little bit more, but I did hear even Al talk about this.
So there's certain guys that I just will not bet ever just because I just don't particularly like them for whatever reason. And maybe because they're on the European Ryder Cup team or whatever it is. And two of those guys are Matt Fitzpatrick and Bobby McIntyre. So I was, like, going into this and doing the research. They were both coming up, like, I was like, man, like...
I can't just hold it against these guys and I don't like these guys. I got to just go where the research brings me.
Forget your heart, bet with your head.
Yeah. So Matt Fitzpatrick, he's even and, of course, double bogey on 18 plus 2. And then Robert McIntyre, who is leading the Valero Open the previous week. You know, ends up having a really bad shot on 18, but, you know, finishes second.

Chapter 2: How did the Knicks perform against the Celtics?
He'd been playing well. You know, he's won a couple of tournaments. He putted lights out at the Ryder Cup. Lefties seem to really see Augusta well, so I'm like, I'm going to throw McIntyre and Akshay and a couple different things. Bobby McIntyre, he probably got a talking to by Augusta.
Not only does he flip off the golf ball when it goes in the water, when he eventually makes a nine on a hole, a quadruple bogey, but he also slammed his club.
Chapter 3: What are the challenges faced by the Mets and Yankees?
down on the fairway uh yes twice and uh one right on the next on the next hole so i they they hate that stuff like they they do not like that type of behavior and he's never been a guy like that but he uh he lost his mind so i was like oh great so i finally put robert mcintyre in a lineup of mine and this guy poops all over augusta but anyway uh other than that look there's that nine hung that nine up there you do not see that often with a middle finger
Not at that level.
Chapter 4: What insights are shared about the Masters tournament?
I think Fred Couples also had a nine on that same hole. That's Fred Couples. He's 100 years old.
66.
He's allowed. 66. He was like 200 before that, too. I know. And it's amazing how well he plays this golf course, no matter how old he is. But anyway, so Knicks were the big story. Knicks-Celtics last night. The big story. So the annoying part of it, quite frankly, is the fact that they weren't fully healthy because I wanted to see them with Jalen Brown in the lineup.
Everybody else that was questionable, I believe, played last night but Jalen Brown. So that was a little bit frustrating. But the way that the Knicks played was more of the same that we saw against the Atlanta Hawks, which is really, really encouraging. There was more Jalen Brunson getting rid of the ball and being a guy who was facilitating and not just isolation and chucking up shots.
Josh Hart was spectacular shooting threes. And in the fourth quarter, really, really good. Carl Anthony Towns, good defensively. I think he only had... Two fouls. It might have been three, but I think he might have only had two fouls last night, which was great. And you saw more of the action with the pick and roll with him and getting them the basketball.
And they just seemed like they were rounding into shape again. So this is the team right there, the way they have played the last two games that I feel the best about.
I'm not going to say that because they beat the Celtics without Jalen Brown, I'm ready for the Celtics in the playoffs, but this was the style of play and the way that they won the game I thought was very encouraging because it was right off the heels of a very similar win against the Atlanta Hawks. Yeah, a couple things. One, you look at that game last night, and I do agree with you.
When I saw the note before 5 o'clock, 6 o'clock, whatever it was, when I saw it, that Jalen Brown wasn't playing, it was disappointing as an outside observer watching the game. The game still had a really good feel to it. The fact that they applauded, I mean, give the Knicks fans a lot of credit. I wondered if they were going to taunt him. Instead, they gave him a nice ovation.
Tate, I was talking about. Yeah, Jason Tatum, which I thought was very classy in the starting lineups. So that was very cool. It definitely took away a little bit from the game that Brown didn't play. But when you're making big shots down the stretch, as they did, when you're making big defensive stops, Tatum had, what, two? I think he had six or seven turnovers on the night.

Chapter 5: What books do Gio and Jerry recommend for sports fans?
Yeah, boy. You would? Yeah, I think I would. Is it a biography of CeCe? Uh... Written by who? It is, yeah, CeCe with Chris Smith. I would read that. I would read that.
Oh, okay. I would read that. There's one here.
Yes, that I would read. Here you go. Sports Illustrated, 50 years of great writing.
Chapter 6: How does Gary Player's interview spark controversy?
No. No. I subscribed to the magazine. I'm good. Okay. This one doesn't have a cover or anything, so I'm going to just say no. All right, here we go. What was it? It just says Game Day by Thomas Boswell. I have no idea what it's about. Okay. I have no clue. It doesn't say anything anywhere about anything.
Oh, no.

Chapter 8: What is the significance of the relationship stats mentioned?
And I found his life fascinating. And growing up in La Trobe and the way he came up and what he did for golf, I would take a glance at that. But if I started reading it and it was everything I knew already, I would shut down. I'm going to take that as a no. Well, I would start it, though. I will tell you that's a bigger book than the one that I did read. All right. All right.
Guts and Genius, the story of three unlikely coaches who came to dominate the NFL in the 80s. What coaches? The coaches on the cover? It doesn't. It's because the cover, it's another one of those jackets. Oh, come on.
All right.
Bob Glauber, though. I like Bob Glauber. Parcells, Gibbs, maybe. It has to be those guys.
Walsh.
Let's see. Uh-oh, I got one. It is Walsh, Gibbs, and Parcells. This is an interesting one. Okay. Oh, wow. You know what? Yes. I have one, I think. Eddie, is any one of these so far interested you? No. I think I got one. Al, any?
No.
Of course not. Not yet. Not even the 80s football one? Walsh, Gibbs, and Parcells? Okay. Fair enough. Football for a buck, Eddie. The crazy rise and crazier demise of the USFL. Yeah. All right. There you go. We gave one away to Eddie. That's a Jeff Perlman book. Okay. TikTok's own Jeff Perlman. All right. I don't know how. I will pass on that one. All right. The last folk hero.
The life and myth of Bo Jackson. Bo Jackson. That's one I should be interested in. I'm not. All right. And the last one. Baseball immortal, Derek Jeter. No. I should. No. All right. That's it? Yeah, that's it. All right. I got one for you. Okay. This was written by someone you know. Oh, really? Yeah, Mike Demerges. Oh, wow. Demerges? The Rebel League, the NFL didn't respect but feared the USFL.
