Summary

The hour began with a discussion of the Giants' schedule. Gio believes they need to start 2-2, scoring points with Russell Wilson throwing TDs, and beating either Dallas or Washington. Boomer anticipates improved Giants' offensive and defensive lines, and notes Russ's low turnover rate. Boomer thought the Jets should have kept Aaron Rodgers, but Gio disagreed due to culture change. They then discussed Sam Darnold with the Seahawks and a "who would you rather have" quarterback list. Jerry provided an update, preceded by Gio mentioning C-Lo's tuberculosis. Al was confused about MLB Wild Card standings. The Mets won in Detroit with Juan Soto hitting a grand slam and triple. Carlos Mendoza discussed Sean Manaea's struggles. Sounds included Bill Belichick and North Carolina losing to TCU. Brian Daboll discussed Jayden Daniels. Micah Parsons spoke about the Green Bay fanbase. The hour concluded with NFL talk and a caller asking Gio if he'd prefer Boomer or Phil Simms in a big game.

0:00.0	It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN.
0:04.3	Hi, Boomer and Geo coming to you live for the old Ford Tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network.
0:11.2	As we get ready for the NFL season to kick off on Thursday, of course, the Jets and Giants talk is going to ramp up.
0:19.2	And there's not a lot of people outside of the positive side of the fan base for the Jets and the Giants that think that they're going to have a good year.
0:28.0	I know Jerry thinks that the Giants will be better. I know Boomer thinks the Giants will be better.

0:38.9	year. And that could be over by October again. And of course, after that, it doesn't get easier,
0:46.5	really until week five. So if they start out, O and four, which on paper, they very well could,
0:54.1	then all of a sudden you get a break, but you still
0:56.7	have to go to New Orleans.

1:14.0	Because after that, things will just spiral, talk about Brian Dayball hot seat, when is Jackson Dark going to play.
1:21.1	So for the Giants to get off to a nice little start, quiet, Russell Wilson's got to play great,
1:27.2	they got to score some points, and they got to beat either the commanders or the Cowboys.
1:31.8	And we know how a House of Horrors it's been for the Giants of recent memory down in Dallas.
1:35.6	So that one seems to me less likely of the two.
1:38.6	Well, you and I've been talking about this for about the last two weeks.
1:42.5	They will be so much, well, prior to us leaving, they will be so much more competitive.
