What are Boomer's thoughts on turning 65 and joining Medicare?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. And we're coming to you live from the Built Ford 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 Wednesday morning. We have made it through January, February, and March. Those are tough months in the Northeast. April 1st really is one of those significant days, and we've got so much going on in New York sports. The good was the New York Yankees as their impressive start continues. Out in Seattle, another shutout, another great victory for the Yankees. The bad was the New York Mets getting shut out themselves. And the bad and the ugly was the New York Knicks, certainly, as they get smacked around by the Houston Rockets.
You called it yesterday. You had a bad feeling about the game. You had a bad feeling about... Durant playing well against the Knicks. All of that happened. Also, the bad was the New York Islanders again last night losing to the Sabres. But you got yourself a victory over the Devils, and you had a goalie fight. So we're going to get to all of it. Good morning, Boomer. How are you? Yeah, it was a ton of things going on last night, but today is a big day, as it is April Fool's Day, by the way. And I know you're not going to fool me or anything, but today is also the first day of Medicare for me. Wow. Welcome. We've just crossed the red line now, and yeah. So it's a big day. It's a big day, and I wake up this morning with a cold that you finally gave me.
Oh. So I appreciate that. So here we are, first day of Medicare and first day of a cold along with it.
Yeah, well.
It's a very exciting day for me. I apologize for that, but good thing you've got great coverage now to go and get yourself some antibiotics or whatever you need. We will find out as we go along with this. Yeah. And I'm not worried about it, so I feel pretty good about it. But anyway, yeah, last night was kind of an autopsy-turvy night. The Yankees were great, and Max Freed was awesome last night. And you see he only gave up three hits. Conversely, the Mets only got three hits. The Knicks basically laid an egg in Houston, which I knew. To me, that is right now the story. And I know Islander fans have their issues right now, but they're still in the playoff spot in the Metro. But I'm just saying the Knicks are a mess, and they're basically telling you this.
What went wrong for the Knicks in their loss to the Rockets?
Jalen Brunson's telling you this. Josh Hart is telling you this. And this is what I was afraid of about three weeks ago because they had played all these bad teams leading up to this little stretch in their schedule. And this little stretch in their schedule, unfortunately, may have revealed who they are. And that's the bad thing because I go all the way back to the beginning. when they decided with their eighth pick that they were going to take Mike Brown as their head coach and that they were going to bring a head coach in to turn things around and make things different. And I don't necessarily know that they're any better than they were last year now all of a sudden. And I know two weeks ago you asked me about the championship wins at their back.
But watching how they've played these last three games against really good teams, and I was reading in one of the articles this morning, they haven't beaten a winning team in 25 days. That is an indication, and that, unfortunately, is a bad indication of where they are right now. And I think you and I kind of believe that they are a playoff battle-tested team, and maybe that's what they're waiting for. But these last three games were... really a disaster for them. And I got to wonder where their confidence is right now against these good teams. Yeah, I mean, especially when you're talking about the confidence of Carl Anthony Towns because you see him last night. He looked a little bit disengaged when there was a huddle going on and he was outside of it.
And I've been all over his case, but it's not all about him. It really isn't. It's about the utilization of him.
