Hour 1:

Boomer and Jerry begin the show talking about the opening episode of Hard Knocks. It was pretty much “The Aaron Rodgers show” and Boomer says that’s how it should be. He misses the camaraderie of training camp. Jerry was impressed by Nathaniel Hackett and is surprised he was such a bad head coach but Boomer explains why it makes sense to him. Boomer and Jerry agree that this should be a big season for the Jets, barring injury. Aaron Rodgers is buying in, his Jets teammates are buying in and we are buying in. C-Lo is in for Jerry and Boomer praises Big Zoo for putting in some hard work. Robert Saleh’s big speech about eagles and crows opened Hard Knocks. Is Russell Wilson a Hall of Famer if he doesn’t bounce back this year? Commanders players are complaining that Eric Bieniemy is too hard on them. The Yankees beat the White Sox and are back to 4.5 games out of the 3rd wild card. Clarke Schmidt is dealing for the Yankees while flying under the radar. It is time for the Yankees to go on a run. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer and Jerry discuss Penn Entertainment selling Barstool back to Dave Portnoy in order to partner with ESPN to launch “ESPN Bet”. Will leagues soon follow ESPN’s lead? Boomer explains the underlying reason why ESPN let go of Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson and other big names.

Hour 2:

The Yankees needed a win in Chicago and got one. The bats broke out in the 4th inning. It’s the most disappointing season for New York baseball in a while. There’s a toxicity in New York sports fandom that Boomer hopes doesn’t interfere with the Jets season. Should New York take a similar approach to struggling players that Philadelphia did with Trea Turner? Boomer says it’s clear that Zach Wilson still isn’t ready. Boomer reacts to the Johnny Manziel documentary. C-Lo returns for an update and shares Al’s review of Hard Knocks (freaking boring). Sauce told Aaron Rodgers he wants to play for 40 years. Rodgers is acting like a coach during preseason games. Eric Bieniemy and Jack Del Rio respond to players expressing “concern” over how hard Bieniemy is pushing them. Colin Cowherd made a really bad blunder yesterday. Jerry thinks Cowherd and FOX Sports mentioned the late Dwayne Haskins on purpose. Boomer says that would be crossing the line and believes that a lot of people on that staff really messed up. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry tells Boomer about his groundhog problem.

Hour 3:

A big NBA story has not been covered as much as Jerry expected. Former players defrauded the league in an insurance scam. C-Lo returns for an update and begins with Mecole Hardman telling Aaron Rodgers how he grew up watching his new QB. Johnny Manziel didn’t come across very well in his documentary and a certain former Jets and Bengals QB made a harsh comment about nose tackles back in the day. The Yankees picked up a win on the South Side. James McCann cost the Orioles a win last night. Max Scherzer barely completed 7 innings most starts when he was a Met. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer tells Jerry about his “Gametime” interview with former Heat and current Cavalier guard Max Strus. Strus had a long road to NBA success and shared some interesting thoughts on the transfer portal. What would a star like Johnny Manziel have made in the NIL era?

Hour 4:

Count Jerry among the people that walked away from the first episode of Hard Knocks thinking the Jets are going to win the Super Bowl. Boomer says Garrett Wilson is “smooth” and will have a big year. The Giants are flying under the radar and that’s a good thing. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day and begins with the Yankees win in Chicago. Aaron Boone talked to Jomboy about Giancarlo Stanton not running hard on the basepaths. Boomer and Yankees fans wish Boone would just be honest once in a blue moon. Should Stanton be out there if he can’t run? Tommy Kahnle shaves all of his hair whenever he allows a run. In the final segment of the day, Jerry and Boomer give Massapequa Little League a shoutout as they look to advance in the Little League World Series. Maybe a dog or bird can handle Jerry’s groundhog problem.

Jerry has a groundhog problem and tried to crowdsource a solution.

The Yankees bats broke out last night. Boomer & Jerry also discuss the toxicity in New York sports fans. Will it improve?
