What events in sports does Boomer feel he must attend?

Unknown 0:00
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Build Forward Tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network on this feel-good Friday. You know, your argument about what we just had about just playing the kids thing and let them do it... It's common sense is what you're basically advocating. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it seems pretty simple. Run it, give the guy some credit, and let everybody hear it and get all excited about a radio broadcast. Well, stuff like that is what is the heart of the NCAA tournament.
Boomer Esiason 0:33
Yes.

I mean, even though it's not quite a Cinderella story with the nil thing, but still, it's a 12-5, kids screaming, the whole upset thing, Cinderella, this and that. Right, and the reason I say that it's common sense and that it's not going to work the way that we would like it to work is because there's a lot of that crap going on today.

What are the remaining Roy Rogers locations in New Jersey?

Unknown 0:50
Sure. There's a lot of lost common sense out in the world. I would agree. So I would think this would be along the lines of that. That's why I'm fighting. Fighting for common sense. For the common man and for common sense. Reasonable decisions. Yes. Reasonable takes. That's the platform I'm running on. And you're trying to highlight a young man who's looking... No, not really. Well, really? I don't really care about him. That's part of it. I'm not really trying to highlight the young man. What I'm trying to do is play a call I think the audience would enjoy because over the years I've come to learn that that is something that people really love about the tournament. And that's the common sense approach that you generally have.
Unknown 1:30
Yeah, and if the kid gets some pop out of it, that's great too, but I'm not like I know the guy or care what happens. It's kind of like Josh from Brooklyn. He got a little pop out of it. He did, but he's a listener of ours, and he's a Nets fan, and he's in our tri-state area. It's a different thing. You know, the high point university kid. I don't have a connection to it all. But the point being is that, you know, we found Josh's take, or at least Jerry found Josh's take, to be refreshing and fun. Refreshing and fun. Yes. Yes, we played it. He heard it. And that highlighted him. And he felt great about it. Told his friends. So, have you ever been to a Final Four? Yes. Yeah. Yes, down in Atlanta. And that was University of Maryland versus Indiana.
Unknown 2:14
All right. Now, because Maryland was in it, I'm sure it was exciting for you. But if you hadn't gone to a Final Four, would it be on your sports bucket list of places to go? Only if Maryland were in it. Yeah. I don't want to see North Carolina. I don't want to see Duke. I don't want to see Arizona. I don't want to see Kansas. I don't want to see any. But now listen, I am rooting for St. John's. I am. I am 100% rooting for Rick Pitino and this group of kids that, you know, he told us he loved them before the season started and that they would get better as the season went on. And he was spot on. Yeah. See, Final Four to me now, especially because it's played in these giant buildings, and it's just strange. Like, it just doesn't have – there's nothing about it that I'm dying to go and see.
Unknown 2:55
And plus, even if St. John's were in the Final Four, I'd be much happier watching it from home. That's not a bucket list sports thing for me, going to a Final Four. Yeah, not for me either. I mean, going to a game maybe in, like, Cameron Indoor. Even though I'm not a Duke guy, I would just experience something like that, you know? But you know what I mean. Like the tradition there and the whole thing. I don't care about that tradition.
Boomer Esiason 3:15
You don't like them at all?
Unknown 3:16
No. I didn't know you hated Duke so much. I know a lot of people hate Duke. I didn't know you were one of those guys. Well, they were in the ACC when I was there. I mean, come on. I just thought you generally are a respect greatness guy. Coach K, you've always liked? I do like Coach K, yes. I do respect him. I know there's always controversies around these different coaches, but... You know, my loyalty lies to Gary Williams.
