What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN.
And we're coding you live for the build for tough studio. Boomer Esaias and Greg Giannotti. It's Boomer and Geo on the fans. Simulcast across the country on CBS Sports Network. And wherever you are on the free Odyssey app. Good Wednesday morning. Boomer will be back tomorrow. That means that Jerry is here again in CeeLo on the updates. Good morning, Jerry. What's happening?
G, good morning to you. Is it Wednesday? It is Wednesday. Nice to see you, sir. How are you doing?
I'm doing all right. Everything blending together, of course, during this long winter. But the sports news cycle never ceases to amaze as there is always something out there that you didn't expect or didn't see or never thought was coming. And that was what happened yesterday with this Tony Clark situation. Normally, the labor negotiations and baseball and the collective bargaining agreement, that's stuff I hate talking about. We're going to have to talk a ton about it coming up because of what may happen with a work stoppage. But then you see the details of why Tony Clark, the MLBPA head, has to step down. And all of a sudden, it becomes this scandalous story as there was a whistleblower that said,
Hey, some weird stuff is going on here. There's some nepotism. There's some money that's missing. And an investigation happens, an internal investigation. Not only do they find out there's some money missing, there's some nepotism, but Tony Clark is having an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law.
That's a rough one. Happy Valentine's Day? Yeah. Oh, God. I think about the week that this gets blown out on. Good God.
I know. That's another part of it, too. It's like, you know, I'll never forget that it was... You talk about the news cycle and Friday news dump stuff. So I was in the newsroom, and it was right after Imus said the thing he said about the Rutgers women's basketball team. And there was a person in the newsroom who had been in radio for a long time and said it was Friday that he was looking at the paper, and it was a blurb in the paper. And he goes, I still haven't figured out if this is a good thing or a bad thing for him. Meaning?
What led to Tony Clark's resignation from the MLBPA?
That he was getting a lot of attention about this particular thing, and he hadn't gotten that type of attention in a while. But then it ended up blowing up because there was nothing else going on. As we've talked about before, that Virginia Tech shooting, that horrible tragedy down there, happened like a week later. If it happened the next day, maybe people wouldn't have seen it.
Maybe we're all not here. Yeah, well, that's very true. Everything changes.
At least not as early as a new show started, right?
Yeah, no, you're not wrong about that.
So Tony Clark's probably thinking like, oh, great. I mean, you know, this couldn't have come out the same day that the Epstein Files came out like this. Why is this happening now when nothing is going on in the sports world?
You are probably right about that, though I think his marriage is probably still over and he probably still does resign. It just would have been a little less noise around it. Oh, of course.
Yes, there's no doubt about it. All those things would have happened, but it's just that now everybody's talking about it where this would have been just a bit of a conversation as opposed to if it's the day after the Super Bowl, we're talking about it a little bit. Sure. But a lot of people are, of course, consuming it now. And I asked the same question to Gina yesterday that Al asked CeeLo this morning on the warm-up show that a lot of people, I'm sure, have asked. Is it worse to bang your brother's wife or your wife's sister?
I don't think it matters. I think it does. I think they're both terrible.
Now, it's hard for me because... Now, do you have both? Do you have a wife, sister, and a brother, wife? No. You don't. All right, so I don't have both either because I'm an only child. Does anybody have both? So what I have is I've got two sister-in-laws, one that I've talked about on this show, the naked sister-in-law, who would walk around and she stayed with us for six weeks and I'd come home from work and she liked to be naked in the house and she didn't know I was there.
