Hour 4 - Former Players Rooting On TV, Bills Fire McDermott, A Boomer Package Moment
19 Jan 2026
Chapter 1: Should former players on TV root for their old teams?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN.
All right, Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Bill Ford Tough Studio on the Fan and CBS Sports Network. On this Football Monday, MLK Day 2026, 888-808-1019. The number to join the show, and that's the Red Pocket Mobile fan line brought to you by your new Ultimate Cell Carrier. Red Pocket Mobile. I went back and watched your Ethos commercial, and I believe the caller's name was Jeff.
Jeff obviously listens to this show a lot and understands the things that we joke around about. To be fair, you know, as you're sitting... You see your crotch area. There is no outline of junk. There is no moose knuckle. There is nothing there. It's just a regular seated shot of your pants. If there were anything inappropriate, the director would have told me.
She was like Vince Lombardi running this thing.
Chapter 2: What happened with Sean McDermott's firing from the Bills?
And, you know, I was being coached up as we were doing it. Yeah. And by the way, there's a 30 second coming to where I'm explaining a little bit more about why I'm such an advocate for life insurance. And in the 32nd, I actually put my hands there realizing that I'm not holding a photo of my mom or anything like that, but my hands are down around my area. Okay.
Just because I'm aware that I don't want that like jamming people's faces. So basically like you got your hands like clasped together kind of. Yeah. Right there. Yeah. Okay. On your lap, you know. Yeah. Well, yeah, I mean, you're a man who has a, you have fitted pants. Like, you have pants that fit you perfectly.
Chapter 3: How did the Rams secure their overtime win over Caleb Williams?
And when you're a man that have pants that fit you perfectly, and they might be on the tighter side, and you got big penis and balls, then it pokes through from time to time. Well, I'm just, I'm not even thinking that way. But what I was thinking was sitting there, especially like in an extended commercial. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm aware that, especially if I'm sitting in a chair and my legs aren't crossed, I'm not sitting like that. Right. You ever see that video of that guy? It's a viral video where he sits down. It's an older guy, and he crosses his legs. Smashes his balls in his reaction. You ever see this? No, I've never seen that. It's a viral video. It's so funny, guys. He's on a panel somewhere.
Chapter 4: What was the Moment of the Day involving Boomer?
He sits down in his chair, crosses his legs. He's like, go!
Yeah.
Very funny. All right. So, yes, there was that that we wanted to address. There was also, was there something else we needed to address? No, I think I believe that was it. That was the big one. Let's go to Greg who's calling from Long Island. What's going on, Greg? Hey, Gio, I had the same problem. I would snore. My wife would L me all night long. I got rid of the wife.
Chapter 5: How did the Patriots perform against the Texans?
I sleep incredibly peacefully now.
Okay.
Yeah, I mean, there's many times I have to go to a different place to sleep if I have started snoring. But I really, like I said, it's on my back. But if I roll over, I'm fine. But there's been times she's given me a little teeth. She actually ripped a pillow out from under my head. Have you ever been so exhausted where, like, you just...
Fell asleep before you expected to fall asleep and just ended up just sleeping wherever you were just sleeping? Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course. I mean, like on the couch or whatever. Yeah, and then I wake up in some, like, insane position. I had no idea I could even... Your neck is stiff. Your back is stiff.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of McDermott's firing for the Bills?
Your shoulder's stiff. That's when, like, my mouth is... You have no idea who you are, where you are, what time of day it is. What just happened to me, yes. I'm like, start getting philosophical. Where am I? Am I alive? Am I dead? I mean, yeah, it's crazy.
Yeah, when you get confused, especially like there are many times if I fall asleep, like take a nap in the afternoon, I'll wake up and then think I have to go to work. That's a bad one, too. Yeah. Oh, my God, I'm late. I'm like, no, well, it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon, you idiot. Let's go to Joe out in East Islip.
Chapter 7: Could Brian Daboll return to coach the Bills?
What's going on, Joe?
Hey, guys. Thanks for telling, for taking my call first time, long time.
Nice, Joe. I grew up right around the corner from you on Alexander Drive in East Islip, so a little older than you, though. But anyway, first of all, about the snoring, you can also get a dental appliance. that you can wear that is really great. I use it all the time. I actually make them on the dentist.
Something good to remember is check into. All right, very good. What I'm calling about, I was wondering if you saw it.
I don't remember what the broadcast was, but Randy Moss, when they were all making their picks.
Yeah, that's ESPN. Yes, ESPN.

Chapter 8: What are the potential candidates for the Bills' head coach position?
So they were all up in New England. Right.
But Randy Moss and Teddy Bruschi were so actively rooting, you know, when we got some or whatever they were saying. So I was wondering what you thought about that. Is that something that, as an announcer, Boomer, as a commentator, that you want to do?
I don't know. You know, I work with Coach Cower and Phil Sims, and both of those guys are legendary figures in the eyes of the franchises that they either worked for or played for. And I do believe that Phil Simms rooted for the Giants, and I do believe that Bill Cowher was rooting for the Steelers.
And any time there was ever a game, especially against the Browns or the Bills or the Bengals, Cowher and I would always have a good back and forth about that. I don't think there's anything wrong about rooting for the team that you played for, especially if you are legendary players like Randy and Teddy were. And they were outside in front of Patriots fans. Yeah.
So I can imagine how Rex Ryan was probably a little uncomfortable up there. Because it would be the other way for him. I don't know who those guys picked going into those games. But it's natural. I mean, I was out there with the Bengals for an AFC championship game in Kansas City. And I did pick the Bengals to win. They did win that game.
I didn't feel like I was rooting for them, but when I saw Mike Brown, the owner of the team, on the field at his advanced stage, accepting the Lamar Hunt Trophy in Kansas City, I don't know. I felt happy for him. Yeah. I really felt happy for the fans of the Bengals, for the franchise, and certainly for Zach Taylor and Joe Burrow.
Yeah, I mean, there's no problem with that at all, especially if it's your team that you're rooting for. You certainly don't have a problem with it. And then if the fans, let's say that Randy Moss and Teddy Bruschi and whoever else that were Patriots were picking against them, then the Patriot fans would hate them, and that wouldn't be good for their business either. Yeah.
I mean, it's a silly thing. And by the way, we sit here and do picks. None of it matters who the hell anybody's picking. It's just entertainment. So whatever. You want their analysis on the game. You want what they think. And they're going to give you their honest opinions. But when it comes to picking the game, they're going to pick their team. I'll tell you, we had a...
I think I've told you this story when I was on the NFL today when Dan Marino was there. Yeah. And both Dan and I picked Tennessee to beat the Raiders in the AFC Championship game that was going to be played in Oakland. Okay. And... It may have been Eric Mann. I'm not sure if Drew Kaliske was the producer. I'm not really sure.
