What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. And we're coming to you live from the Build Forward Tough studio. Boomer Esiason, Greg Giannotti. It's Boomer and Geo on the fan. Simulcast across the country on CBS Sports Network and wherever you are on the free Odyssey app. Good Tuesday morning. Had a lot of conversation about USA Hockey yesterday. Both good and then some people wanted to make it a pure political conversation and then take one thing we were all on the same page with and then turn it into another thing that we can't agree on. So that was disappointing seeing that stuff. We are getting closer to some real answers when it comes to the rosters of the Jets and Giants and the Jets being the most interesting because they've got so many holes right now.
And we feel like the Giants are close, but the Jets have a lot of work to do. So combine coming up and all of that. And of course, we are waiting for a champion here in New York for a very, very long time. And all that pressure is going to be on Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks. So that's always going to be something interesting. We are talking about throughout the next couple of months. Ready for a big one today, Boomer. Good morning. How are you?
What sparked the controversy around the US Hockey Team's celebration?
Yeah, good morning, Jay. I'm doing well. And, you know, one of the things about the USA hockey team, you know, and we were just talking about it off the air, the thing that happened to them, you say, because of the snow here in New York, they were supposed to charter back from Milan here to New York. And because of the snow, they ended up diverting to Miami. So they got to spend the night in Miami last night. And I don't know if you saw this at 11 nightclub last night in Miami. the USA hockey team celebrated their gold medal, and the entire place is singing the national anthem. And it actually gives you the chills just to watch these guys do this and celebrate. And I'm thinking that the 1980 guys, right after they had finished their Olympic gold medal game, all of those guys scattered and signed professional contracts with NHL teams.
So they weren't allowed to do this. You know what I'm saying? So these guys, and of course they're going to the State of the Union tonight with Donald Trump, and he invited them, and of course he invited the women's hockey team who respectfully declined. But yeah, it's getting a little bit heated on both sides again because that's just the way it goes around here. We had a couple days to celebrate, a couple days to enjoy, and now all the... The knives are out, if you will, on one side of the ledger, and it's unfortunate. But still, nonetheless, they won the gold medal, and it's been 46 years since they won that gold medal. And they should be able to celebrate and do whatever they want and enjoy it and really totally embrace everything that they bring to the table.
How do the Jets and Giants compare in terms of roster needs?
yeah i mean it was just when some of the anger i guess yesterday sort of being directed towards them that's where i got annoyed and maybe i shouldn't even be paying attention to the opinions of the people that were thinking that way um but i guess just yesterday being here in the city again alone i'm picking up my phone and looking at it even more than i normally would and seeing all this reaction on social media and there was a big video that Dave Portnoy called one of his employees to do a well check on her because she was flipping out on X about how she never wants a man to do anything for her ever again. And the U.S. hockey team is a bunch of jerks because they laughed at the joke when President Trump said, I got to invite the women to or I'll get impeached.
And I just – if you want to be mad at Donald Trump for that or dislike him for the reasons you dislike him and be mad at Kash Patel, if you want to direct all that political anger towards them, fine. I mean that's what – we've seen it on both sides many, many years. That's the political sewer pit that you play. Right. Go ahead and do that. But to drag these guys into it in a moment where they're celebrating and you want them to stop when the president's on the phone after they win a gold medal and be like, you know, I think that joke was inappropriate.
