The Vikings beat the Niners behind a great game by Kirk Cousins. Boomer wonders why the Vikings want to get rid of this guy, but the GM doesn’t seem to want him after this season. Boomer said he hung in the pocket and made a bunch of great throws and wasn’t sacked once. It was about as perfect a game as a quarterback could have. The issue with Cousins is could he do this on the road in the playoffs? Boomer said Cousins’ performance should be a training tape for young QBs on how to play quarterback. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with Kevin Harlan’s calls from the Vikings win over the Niners. Brian Daboll was asked about Daniel Jones and has no update. Jerry is confused by all of the Adam Schein shows. The Texas Rangers beat the Astros and are headed to the World Series. The Diamondbacks won in Philadelphia, forcing a game 7 tonight.

The Texas Rangers are in the World Series despite Max Scherzer only going 2.2 innings and giving up 2 runs early. The NBA season starts tonight and we talked about a rumored trade involving Joel Embiid to the Knicks. We got into some hard core Knicks talk as their season starts tomorrow.

In the final segment of the hour, Tyson Bagent is getting another start for the Bears on Sunday night against the Chargers. Boomer said a lot of teams are still in it except for the Panthers and Cardinals. It doesn’t feel like a dominant team exists. The Chiefs look the best but they have not looked great at times. One of the big games this week is Bengals/Niners. Boomer said one of the teams surging is the Jaguars and they play in Pittsburgh this week.
We have a game 7 tonight between the Diamondbacks and Phillies. Both Al and Eddie, noted Mets fans, are rooting for the Phillies. Boomer and Gio cannot believe that. A caller said Evan claims to have a big schwein. We took calls from people who are angry at Al and Eddie for being Mets fans and rooting for the Phillies. Jerry returns for an update but first Anthony Gallo comes in because Boomer was wondering why he was late. Jerry has Kevin Harlan calls from last night’s Vikings win over the Niners. Kirk Cousins had a great night with 2 TDs and the Vikes move to 3-4. It’s Giants/Jets week and Brian Daboll likes how the defense has been playing. Mike McDaniel talked about the Dolphins being the in season Hard Knocks team. In Philadelphia tonight, we have a game 7 between the Diamondbacks and Phillies. In the final segment of the hour, what’s up with Baker Mayfield and the Bucs now? Boomer said the Giants should blitz Zach Wilson and force him to find the open guy quickly. Gio thinks the Vikings and Giants are both past the tough part of their schedule and both teams could start piling up wins. Boomer asked Gio of the Giants, ‘do you really think they’re going to beat the Jets?’
With the Texas Rangers in the World Series, Gio will continue to bet against Max Scherzer whenever he pitches. MLB has to desperately be rooting for the Phillies to make the World Series over the Diamondbacks. Did the 49’ers touch the money with the F Dallas T-shirt that George Kittle wore? Gio has a good theme song for the upcoming 2024 Mets season. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with the Vikings beating the 49’ers 22-17 behind a great game by Kirk Cousins and Jordan Addison. The Rangers beat the Astros and move into the World Series. Max Scherzer was celebrating even though he hasn’t done anything. Kevin Durant is on the Suns now, but is happy to be back at Golden State.
