Summary

Is Andrew Thomas going to play for the Giants this Sunday against the Commanders? We also talked about the season ending injury to Alijah Vera-Tucker of the Jets. Both teams tried to build up their offensive lines. Boomer tells a story about teaching kids in Italy how to play football back in the late 80’s. Jerry returns for his final update of the day, but first Boomer told us how difficult it was to shower in Italy in 1987. On PTI, Tony Kornheiser compared Nolan McLean to Tom Seaver, just like Boomer did. The Yankees lost in Houston as Devin Williams walked in a run. The home plate ump had a rough night and Williams paid the price. There are already tailgaters in Philadelphia for tonight’s opening NFL game. Jerry is doing the game tonight on the radio. The Moment of The Day: Mark Chernoff’s long lost daughter. In the final segment of the show, we gave our pick for tonight’s Cowboys/Eagles game.

They need them more for 15, you know, 16 weeks. You know, maybe the first week he's not out there.
