Mark Davis fired Raiders Head Coach Josh McDaniels and GM Dave Ziegler. Former Giant Antonio Pierce will take over as Head Coach in the interim. They play the Giants this Sunday and the Jets next Sunday. Will McDaniels wind up back with the Patriots? Gio is worried for the Giants because when a Head Coach is fired, there’s an immediate lift for the team and they usually win the next week. This is the worst week to be facing the Raiders. The Giants did not trade Saquon Barkley as we expected they wouldn’t. Chase Young was traded to the Niners. Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first we talked about the NFL flexing games. Joe Douglas talked about making a lot of calls but no deals were done at the trade deadline. The Jets signed a 35 year old offensive lineman. Daniel Jones was on with Kay Adams and talked about playing this week. Jerry Jones uses the ‘erotic’ incorrectly. Sean Casey said the Yankees need to go get Juan Soto. The Texas Rangers had no problem with the Diamondbacks and took a commanding 3-1 series lead. The NBA in-season tournament will pay players even more to ‘motivate’ them to play. In the final segment of the hour, Gio has had it with teenagers still trick or treating. Someone stole all of Gio’s full-size candy that he left out.
A story that could be fake, said Josh McDaniels dressed as Mark Davis for Halloween on the day he was fired. We took calls from people who were victims of candy theft on Halloween. A caller wants to know if we will be serving DiGiorno’s Thanksgiving pizza. Gio is thinking of hiring a bouncer next year so only kids are allowed to get candy, not teenagers and adults. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Josh McDaniels getting fired last night. Joe Douglas is not going to put a timeline on Aaron Rodgers return. Daniel Jones was boring again with Kay Adams. Jerry Jones talked about ‘measuring stick’ games. The Knicks beat the Cavs. The Texas Rangers beat the Diamondbacks to go up 3-1 in the World Series. Sean Casey wants the Yankees to get Juan Soto. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about college athletes getting rich from the Name, Image and Likeness deals. It provides an unfair advantage to the big schools.
Gio thinks the Giants are in the middle of a quarterback mistake right now. Daniel Jones coming back from a neck injury and Tommy DeVito as the backup doesn’t seem like a great plan. Gio doesn’t like the idea of the Giants playing the Raiders this week as teams seem to rally around the interim coach when the Head Coach is fired. We also talked about Zach Wilson as Boomer still doesn’t see the awareness he should have at this point. Boomer is interested to see how the Jets handle Justin Herbert. They have done a great job against great QBs this season. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Raiders firing Josh McDaniels ahead of their game against the Giants. Aaron Rodgers talked about the Jets comeback win over the Giants. Jerry Jones talked about dressing as a blind ref for Halloween one year. Jerry said there doesn’t seem to be a lot of buzz around the Knicks this year, and that’s because they brought the same team back. The Texas Rangers are one win away from the World Series after beating the Diamondbacks again last night. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the ‘NY sports moments’ rejoins that we play coming out of commercials. We also talked about that time Mike Piazza had to hold a press conference to say he wasn’t gay.
Looking ahead to Sunday, the Giants get Daniel Jones back and play the Raiders who just fired their Head Coach. The Jets take on the Chargers and right now Gio likes their chances as the Jets defense has done well against great QBs. Gio thinks the Dolphins/Chiefs game being in Germany takes some juice out of it. The Bills return to Cincinnati where Damar Hamlin’s injury occurred. Gio says that’s definitely an ‘x-factor’ for the game. Jerry returns for an update but first there’s controversy over breakfast and Anthony Gallo. The Raiders fired Josh McDaniels. Aaron Rodgers talked about his rehab while on the Pat McAfee Show. Daniel Jones was on with Kay Adams talking about coming back to play this week. Mike McDaniel met the media in Germany to talk about playing the Chiefs. The Texas Rangers have a stranglehold on the World Series, leading 3-1 and could win it all tonight. The Moment of The Day involves the time Mike Piazza had a press conference to deny he was gay. In the final segment of the show, Matt Eberflus is likely to be the next coach to go after Josh McDaniels. Boomer said when a coach gets fired it’s usually because of the quarterback position.
