Summary

Boomer declares "The Great Met Reset" after Pete Alonso's departure, but Gio defends Steve Cohen's World Series plan, arguing the moves set the stage for a big future signing like Skubal, and he's "had it with basic sports radio takes" on the situation. We'll hear raw fan emotion, plus why Ron Darling was 'flabbergasted,' and get Joe Benigno's furious reaction blaming Cohen for selling fans "a bill of goods." Jerry has updates on the shocking firing and arrest of Michigan Coach Sherrone Moore in a stunning fall from grace, the mysterious Philip Rivers comeback (is he playing this week, or what?), and the outrageous ESPN L.A. vs. Sal Licata Moment of the Day. Finally, we wrap up with Boomer's list of 'hapless' sports franchises and reaction to the new WFAN lineup.
