The Knicks lost their first game of the season as Kristaps Porzingis went off against his old team. We also lost the Marconi Award for Major Market personality and WFAN lost in the Sports Station of The Year category. The Knicks missed a ton of free throws last night. Gio said this will be the Knicks. Good enough to hang with the great teams, but not enough to beat them. BT & Sal got into it with Carl Banks yesterday about Kayvon Thibodeaux and Sal ended up cutting him off. Jerry is here for his first update but first Joanne called in. She is a listener and we met her yesterday at The Ear Inn in Manhattan. Jerry has sound from last night’s Knicks season opening loss. The Nets also lost their season opener, 114-113. It looks like Daniel Jones is not going to play again. Sauce Gardner will play and Boomer is still calling it a ‘squash spot’. Brady Quinn called Deshaun Watson a trust fund kid but taking the Browns money and not playing. In the final segment of the hour, Funhouse went and found every pooch punt Boomer had in his career.
Quarterback injuries continue to mount in the NFL. Both Brock Purdy and Jalen Hurts could miss playing time. Purdy is in concussion protocol and there seems to be some secrecy with Hurts’ knee injury. Andrew Thomas has to come back for the Giants, even more so than Daniel Jones. Why is it that every throwback uniform looks better than their current uniforms? A caller wants to know if Gio wants Joel Embiid or to roll with the younger guys. Jerry returns for an update and has audio from Keith McPherson’s reaction to the Sal/BT vs Carl Banks. Keith was not happy with the hosts. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls getting reaction from Sal & BT vs Carl Banks and Keith McPherson vs Sal & BT.
We continued talking about Sal & BT vs Carl Banks and Keith McPherson vs Sal & BT. Boomer said people around here get heated about the dumbest things. We took a ton of calls on all the scuttlebutt between Sal, BT, Carl Banks and Keith McPherson. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio can’t believe Boomer is eating 2-day old ‘listener cake’. Jerry went around the NBA last night. We heard audio from angry Phillies fans leaving the game after their NLCS loss to the Diamondbacks. In the final segment of the hour, a caller said Shaun Morash called Boomer a coward for not sabotaging the relationship between his daughter and Islander Matt Martin.
Carson Palmer calls in to clear up whether Dan in Carteret reached out to him to get a picture of his dog in a bed so that he could commission a painting for Eddie. We also talked about Boomer going into the Bengals Ring of Honor. We also talked about Zach Wilson and the Jets and Aaron Rodgers’ rehab. Jerry is here for his final update and starts with a very odd Evan Roberts laugh. Shaun Morash rips off our ‘Pound Town’ reference. The Knicks lost to the Celtics thanks to 30 points from Kristaps Porzingas. Rob Saleh talked about the Jets/Giants rivalry being good for sports talk radio. The Moment of The Day involves Sal & BT vs Carl Banks. In the final segment of the show, we played former Penguins coach Michel Therrien trashing his team but with a nice, French accent.
