Summary

Hour 1 NBA free agency is buzzing, with the Bucks making moves and the Knicks signing Guerschon Yabusele. The NHL's free agency has been quieter, though the Rangers did pick up Vladislav Gavrikov. On the baseball front, the Yankees lost in Toronto due to defensive errors. The Mets face a doubleheader that will strain their pitching ahead of their series against the Yankees, a matchup that's sure to leave one fanbase fuming given both teams' recent pitching woes. Elsewhere, WNBA player Sophie Cunningham stirred controversy with her post-game actions and comments on league expansion. Hour 2 A production error led to the wrong Sports Minute being aired, much to Boomer's frustration. Discussions then turned to the puzzling trend of rising NBA salaries and high team valuations, like the Lakers' $10 billion sale, despite years of declining TV ratings. Callers suggested deals with gambling companies might be propping up the league. In other sports news, the Yankees lost in Toronto with more fielding issues, and George Springer hit two homers, including a grand slam. The hour concluded with news that NBA player Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for a potential sports betting scandal, prompting a caller to criticize leagues for their involvement with sportsbooks. Hour 3 Boomer was annoyed by a production error during the Sports Minute. Discussions continued on Malik Beasley's gambling accusations and the potential for players to fix prop bets. News updates included Red Panda's unicycle fall and George Springer's dominant performance against the Yankees. A caller suggested betting on WNBA "unders" based on players' menstrual cycles. Finally, a Queens driving school was exposed for illegal licenses, prompting a Google search for NYC's gambling revenue allocation, which largely funds public schools. Hour 4 The Mets and Yankees are struggling as they prepare for their series, with the Mets even lacking a Sunday starter. NBA free agency sees the Knicks' roster seemingly set and LeBron's agent claiming four teams are interested. A man shared his story of leaving his fiancée for an HR colleague. Updates included the Blue Jays beating the Yankees, the Nets introducing draft picks, and Gio predicting a terrible Dolphins season and Mike McDaniel's firing. The "Moment of The Day" featured a Pete Hoffman interview, and the show concluded with a Diamondbacks fan banned for repeated interference and a caller who tries to get six baseballs per game.

Good Wednesday morning, 4th of July week.

0:23.1

A lot of offseason stuff going on with both the Knicks and the Rangers.

0:28.4

The Yankees lose again.

0:31.6

And this was a George Springer RBI fest as things obviously not going well for both the Yankees and the Mets heading into this July 4th subway series. The Mets do get rained out, so we'll see how they handle the double header today. But man, I tell you, I went to golf course yesterday. I saw a guy pull up in the car. He sat in his car for a while. And I said, what are you doing sitting in your car? He goes, I was listening to Ian Begley on with BT. I want to see what the Knicks are doing. So I started talking Knicks with him in the parking lot. And then some other guy goes, hey, you're talking about the Knicks? I said, yeah, did they do anything today? And I said, are you familiar with Gershon Yabaseli? because this guy you're going to love. Good morning, Boomer. How are you? I'm doing good, gee. Good morning. And I agree. I mean, I think the Knicks did a good job yesterday, even though they don't have a coach. And even though it tells me, and once again, it tells me that their team is set. And maybe they had a point guard or two.

1:27.8

Who knows?

1:28.5

They still have one roster spot left.

1:30.6

But for the most part, getting Yabaseli and also Clarkson are exactly what the next needed.

1:36.6

They just needed quality guys coming off the bench that can hold a lead, that can take a

1:41.2

lead, that can play NBA basketball, and the coach will trust them. You know, it is, I was reading one of the articles today written by one of the guys that covered the team for which one it was, but maybe it was Vicaro, somebody I'm sure. But, you know, he's talking about how it's really, it's irony that, you know, one of the reasons why Tom Thibito would play only as many players as he did was because he had too many young players and didn't trust some of the other older players to play significant minutes because he was afraid of losing a lead.

2:10.4

Yeah.

2:10.6

And wanted to be able to still control the game, especially, you know, in the third and fourth quarter.

2:15.8

So now all of a sudden you bring in two major reinforcements

2:19.8

that should slot in fine and it tells me that Leon Rose and worldwide West and everybody

2:25.7

over there running the Knicks is just now looking for the right coach to fit this team and

2:31.9

to fit these personalities and hopefully have a legitimate system where

2:35.7

they're going to play at least nine guys. Now, I've got to believe that the three younger

2:39.5

players that are on the roster that were here last year as rookies are also going to get
