Summary

A loaded Thursday on Boomer & Gio. Hour 1 opens with a tribute to beloved New York hockey writer Larry Brooks, followed by a heated debate on Aaron Glenn’s attitude toward the media. Jerry Recco’s update includes Mike Kafka’s first comments as interim head coach, Brian Burns on whether he let Brian Daboll down, and Jameis Winston fired up to start in “the greatest city in the world.” The guys also hit Russell Wilson’s demotion reaction, AJ Brown telling fantasy owners to drop him, the Knicks’ loss at MSG, and Scott Boras’ alliterative pitch for Pete Alonso. They close the hour with the station’s old-school “meet & beat” Giants/Packers promo. Hour 2 breaks down the Disney vs YouTubeTV standoff on earnings day, Gio admitting he watches regular YouTube more than anything else, and more from Mike Kafka, who says he remains tight with Brian Daboll. The crew reacts to Michael Penix Jr. revealing he doesn’t have many teammates to lean on during tough days, plus more Knicks reaction and a note that Drew Brees will be on the call for Packers/Giants. Hour 3 starts with Boomer referencing Netflix’s James Garfield content before Gio veers into a BTK documentary. The focus shifts to Jets–Patriots tonight with Justin Fields expected to start despite ugly performances. The guys question Fields’ future, assess the Giants turning to Jameis, and consider Joe Schoen’s job security. Jerry’s update features Drake Maye, Mike Kafka, Russell Wilson, and Matt LaFleur answering job-related questions. Terry Bradshaw compares Tom Brady to Otto Graham, the Knicks lose again, and the hour ends with Gio staying in NYC for a Dunkin’ event and a caller asking why the Giants’ defense looks gassed. Hour 4 begins with stunned callers questioning how the Jets have one takeaway and zero interceptions through nine games. Calls roll in about Kafka’s future, Fields vs. Jameis tonight, and Garrett Wilson’s status. Jerry’s final update hits Stefon Diggs’ nor’easter uniforms, Brian Burns’ honesty, AJ Brown’s fantasy football comments, and more Knicks injury updates. The Moment of the Day is the Giants–Packers “meet & beat” promo. The show wraps with Gio predicting the Jets get crushed — and rooting for it — while Boomer says Thursday night games always stay close.

How are you? Yeah, you know, good morning, Jim. Obviously, very happy about what happened with the Rangers last night, scoring six goals. But I have to also say this morning, I'm really, really sad. And I'm sad because of an iconic sports writer who has passed away. And his name is Larry Brooks, and he died at the age of 75.

And, you know, Molly Walker, you know, is taking over for him and she's doing a great job, too. They kind of worked together over the last few years, kind of getting her settled in. And I was reading the article this morning talking about one of
