Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. 802 Boomer and Geo program on the fan and CBS Sports Network. The Built Forward Tough Studio, 888-808-1019 is the number. A lot on the football in that hour. I want to wrap it up because Casey's been holding for a little while. Then I got something I think interesting on the Yankees. Here's Casey in Annapolis. What's up, Casey?
Hey, guys. Hey, thank you for the years of entertainment. Really appreciate you guys. Hey, before I get to Aaron Glenn, first of all, a couple of quick things. Landman, what a great show. Thank you for the recommendation.
Sure is.
Oh, my goodness. The mom and the daughter. They're out of their minds. They're out of their minds.
Billy Bob Thornton playing off of them. He's ridiculous. He's awesome in that. Yes.
It's brilliant. And I hadn't seen it in Boomer until you mentioned it. And secondly, golf. Keep talking about it.

Chapter 2: Is Aaron Glenn too fragile to be an NFL head coach?
I played. I was a baseball player, right? I played golf once a year for 20 years. I'm in my mid-50s. I finally joined. I got in after five years. It's the U.S. Naval Academy course. If you ever get a chance to play it, it's an amazing course in the Mid-Atlantic. But in two years, I got from a 33 to an 11, and I'm playing Pine Valley next month. Wow, look at you, man. You're becoming like Geo.
You're becoming bougie.
Oh, my goodness.
You're bougie like Geo, yeah.
But I got invited to this, so I'm pretty excited. But the big point I'm calling about is Aaron Glenn, and I'm going over the Bay Bridge right now in Maryland. Beautiful day. He has a trait which makes me run away from executives. And I've built companies and I've installed CEOs into turnaround situations. And there's one trait that you guys don't have.
And imagine Gio, the top of the world in media and YouTube. I mean, Boomer, you've done it in sports and media. And that trait is fragility or he's fragile. And I saw it with not wanting to talk to Aaron Rodgers. I saw it with him... taking innocuous questions from the media and fighting them. But that fragility. You ever see cars, too? Do you guys have kids and see cars, too?
I do, and I do, yes. What Lightning says to Francesco Bernoulli, and he goes, you're fragile, fragile. Francesco Bernoulli, fragile. Like, it's... You can't... Can you imagine... Being the quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals or the Jets or being in the media, there's so many people trying to take you down. Always.
I will tell you, by the way, yes, I can imagine all of those things. And one of the things I've lived all of those things. All of them in three different cities.
Yes.

Chapter 3: What is the Jets' salary strategy for the quarterback position?
And he made some major mistakes in games, timing, situations, and situational football that is so paramount to the success of all football teams, he wasn't ready for it. The problem for me, going back to the first day, and whoever was advising him, I don't know, I get the whole Parcells thing and all that, was you knew questions were coming about Aaron Rodgers.
There was a much better way to handle it than the way he handled it, and he was very argumentative with the media on day one. And remember, most of the media in New York, I'll go back and check, but I think they were really in favor of him getting this opportunity Oh, they were. Everybody was. Yes, and then he was just so surly and rude to a certain degree right in the beginning.
And again, it's his own perception and how he... how he thinks people think about that job and that team. It's a hard job. I get it. I understand. But I also think if someone was in his corner, I think could have advised him a little bit better because it felt like he made enemies with the media very quickly.
I think the first thing he probably should have said, guys, before I get to Aaron Rodgers and everybody else, can I just enjoy the fact that I made it as a head coach in the NFL? Maybe you could have advised us. This is like an amazing opportunity. I want to thank the Johnson family. I want to thank all my teammates, all the coaches that hired me, all the people that believe.
And I think he said a lot of this. But then when he got into the, like, you know, I can handle this. I can do this. This is the way it's going to move. We're not going to be the same old Jets. How many times have we heard that?
A lot.
A lot. Going back to the years with Joe B. You're talking 30 years ago. A little bit of a little bit of humbleness and humility and thankfulness the first day. And then you could just say, look, I'll worry about everything else in the next couple of days. But I just want to really think about what just happened in my life and how fortunate I am to be one of 32. There's really only.
So from the time Parcells left. To now. And Mangini was good for a little while. Rex Ryan. That's what I was going to say. There's really only like one time period I can think from the moment Parcells left to now where I think fans didn't think same old Jets. And that was that run. At the end, it didn't go so great for Rex. But the buildup... They changed the GM on him and...
That never works out well. But he had it to where it felt like it was a much different organization and a much different feel. I also think, obviously, his dad, his name, the reputation, the defense, the bluster, the fact that he was a jolly big kind of coach and was not backing down. I think Jet fans love that. The players love that. He brought in his guy Bart Scott to lead the defense.

Chapter 4: Where does Baseball Digest project the Yankees to finish in the A.L. East?
There it is, the boys.
Just like you just said. I'm talking about all the boys. Quickly, Rangers did lose in overtime to the Flyers at the Garden 3-2. Matt Famichkov, second at the game, won it for Philadelphia. The Devils took a 4-1 loss to the Penguins out in Pittsburgh. The Nets beaten by the Spurs in Brooklyn 126-110. This is why I even bother playing these games.
Yeah, I know they have to.
And they've got to play in Boston tonight, and then the Knicks will visit the Bucs. Giannis was ruled out, by the way. He's been cleared, but not going to return to the lineup tonight for Milwaukee. They probably feel that they don't need him. Maybe. They don't want to showcase him. It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Geo is out. He'll be back on Tuesday.
It is the Boomer and Geo program. Beautiful look out. It's a little chilly, but at least it is sunny. We are getting there, and I see the temperatures next week pretty good. I do have a question for you and some advice we're going to get from you coming up in a couple of moments. But before I do that, I'm mentioning the fact that it has just been, I mean, brutal around here.
The weather has been cold. There's been snow. And so between Al complaining about, and I don't blame him, having to walk the dog when it's 30 degrees and blowing, you know, the wind off the ocean, going out at 1 a.m. and all that. I had a thought, and I'm going to tell you right now before we play this. It's terrible. Okay? It's terrible. I think the writing's good, but it's terrible.
Al gave me inspiration to do an Al-like song for you. For you.
For me.
And for him. Okay. And so when I think of where we're at with the weather and we think about good weather, I always think of the mamas and the papas. So instead of California Dreamin', yesterday with Paul R. Zuman, we were Alifornia Dreamin'.
