Hour 1

Aaron Rodgers took to Instagram yesterday to say he will ‘Rise again’. Who could be available at QB later in the season if Zach Wilson isn’t getting it done? If the Vikings season isn’t going anywhere, could Kirk Cousins be available at the trade deadline? Boomer is lukewarm on that. Gio said watching Cousins in the QB documentary, you know he would work incredibly hard to learn the offense. Boomer said the immediate future is Zach Wilson. Jerry is here for an update but first we heard audio of Evan and Tommy Luguaer yelling at each other about Giants/Jets expectations. Rob Saleh said the locker room is in good spirits and believes in the team. Dalvin Cook said Aaron Rodgers was a big part of him coming to the Jets. Mike McCarthy talked about the toughness of Rodgers. Davante Adams said this is like ‘a horrible movie’. Daniel Jones is expecting an attacking Cardinals defense. Chris Jones met the media and said he keeps receipts on what the media said about him on Twitter. In the final segment of the hour, Gio can’t believe OJ Simpson still puts out videos about fantasy football after getting away with killing two people. He also made a 9/11 joke and the hosts had a good laugh about it. Dopes.

Hour 2

Gio finally bought a tuxedo yesterday and was talking sports with them. The main question was, ‘are the Giants as bad as they played Monday night?’ Gio said if they lose to the Cardinals, the Giants fans will begin to turn on them. Boomer said it’s a ‘bounce back spot’. Boomer said some of the Giants’ offensive players looked intimidated by the Dallas defense. The Giants have to win this game convincingly. Squeaking by with a win against the Cardinals will not cut it for fans. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Rob Saleh talking about the talent they have on the team and the ‘do your job’ mantra. Stefon Diggs said he feels bad for Garrett Wilson now that Rodgers went down. A Bills reporter was caught on a hot mic saying that Stefon Diggs will say ‘F You’ to your face. Adam Silver talked about stricter rules for teams resting players. In the final segment of the hour, Roger Goodell was on First Take but didn’t allow Chris Russo to partake in the interview.

Hour 3:

The Jets are going to be ground and pound against the Cowboys if they can run it against this defense. Everything has to be in the game plan including fake punts and onside kicks. The Jets cannot afford holding and false start calls on the offensive line. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Jets players’ confidence in Zach Wilson. Mike McDaniel reacted to Tua being named ‘offensive player of the week’. McDaniel also talked about ‘the purest form of life’. There were robots at the Chargers game that looked very realistic. In the final segment of the hour, Time Magazine has an issue about leaders of the future called The Time100 Next.. They have an athlete on the front cover. We discuss. There are a total of 7 athletes out of the 100 people. We went over all of them.

Hour 4

65 percent of the Giants drop-backs against the Cowboys were under pressure according to just released statistics. We also talked more about Zach Wilson and the Jets going forward. A caller bet $500 on Aaron Rodgers to win the MVP based on what Gio said. We also talked about how much better the surgery will be for Rodgers than it was for Testaverde and Marino back in the day. Jerry returns for an update and says John & Suzyn are not doing any of the games in Pittsburgh. He revealed who will be taking their place. Dalvin Cook talked about coming to the Jets because of Aaron Rodgers and now he’s out. Brian Daboll talked about having to move past the Cowboys game. Nick Siriani talked about playing on a short week earlier in the season where there’s not a lot of wear and tear yet. Matthew Stafford is confirmed to do season 2 of the Netflix series, ‘Quarterback’. The Moment of The Day involves Chris Russo having to leave with his tail between his legs. In the final segment of the show, we heard some play by play by Emmanuel Berbari, who will be filling in for Suzyn this weekend in Pittsburgh.
