It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. And we're coming to you live from the Biltford Tough Studio. Boomer, a size and great Giannotti. It's Boomer and Geo on the fans. Simulcast across the country on CBS Sports Network and wherever you are in the free Odyssey app. Good Thursday morning. We got a lot to get to.
The Knicks are back in action against the Detroit Pistons tonight. You had the big USA hockey win over the Swedes yesterday. The fallout and the next step for the MLBPA after the Tony Clark scandal as they did end up naming a new chief. And that's going to be something that, of course, everybody's going to be talking about all season long until that CBA expires in December. We've got Boomer back today. Thank God, because I was worried we had another... Nancy Guthrie situation on our hands. I'm like, man, they're taking old people everywhere. Yes, they are.
Good morning, Boomer. How are you? Good morning, G. I'm doing well, man. It's great to be back in the fog and the snow and everything else. Yeah. With a bomb cyclone coming this weekend, possibly.
I'm thinking that it's going to be south.
I'm hoping it's going to be south.
What happened in the recent Olympic hockey games?
There you go again, pushing it to the south. I'm trying to push it to the south. That's all right. I'm trying. I understand.
What is the significance of the MLB work stoppage discussion?
Listen, last thing we need is more snow around here because we can't clean it up fast enough, right? Yeah, and there's dog crap. And you got dog poop all over the place, and you got 18 people dead. So after that, you know. You just kind of go on with life, I guess.
That's just the way it is. Yeah, for sure.
By the way, I'm glad you're open with the hockey games, because both hockey games yesterday were unbelievable. Both the Chechia and the Canadian game came down to the end, came into overtime, and anything can happen in overtime, as you can see.
How did the Tony Clark scandal impact the MLBPA?
And usually the great players really do step up, and they show their brilliance. And then, of course, the Americans beat the Swedes, and You know, I was happy for Mika Zibanejad, as weird as that may sound, scoring a goal with the goal he pulled at the end of the game to tie it for Sweden. And I was just hoping that he wasn't going to score the game-winning goal and send them into the semifinals. But I was kind of happy for him. Well, yeah, I mean, I think you were happy because the outcome was that we won. Yes, exactly.
If we hadn't, you wouldn't have been as happy for him.
Right, and I do like your hockey sweater today. A guy sent us a whole bunch of stuff, and I didn't get a chance to put mine on this morning. I see you're wearing yours. Maybe I'll wear mine tomorrow for game day. Yeah.
What are the implications of a potential salary cap in MLB?
I mean, I felt like this was the right thing to do. It's got the 26, obviously, for 2026. It's got my name on the back, too.
Yeah, well, he set one for every on-air personality here except for Alan Jerry.
Oh, really?
Yeah, very nice guy. And I have his name in my office. I'll go get it. sent this, and I was thinking, you know, maybe we could probably, because normally we have something up here on the desk. Yeah, and we... That's reflecting the season that we're in, whether it be baseball. We're not really there yet. It's just pitchers and catchers, that kind of thing.
Yeah, I was going to have my sister-in-law sit up here, actually. That was what would have been perfect to reflect what's going on.
Why is... Oh, yes. Tony Clark, yeah. Can you pull the end of this box? Yeah, yeah, of course. No problem.
Thank you. Got it? No, it didn't come out. You know what this is now? I think I know what it is. Oh, my God. There's styrofoam everywhere. Oh, look at that.
The great Herb Brooks. Yeah. It's a nice thing to have right there in front of us as the hockey comes down to the semifinals. And hopefully we'll see a gold medal game between the two best teams in the world. But we'll see.
Yeah, and Sidney Crosby gets hurt, and that was a storyline yesterday, too, for Canada. But yeah, I mean, I hated to see that game-time goal because, you know, you get so nervous. You think the momentum going into overtime is going to be all with the Swedes.
