Sal Licata defended himself overnight, saying he is not a leech.

Hour 1:

Word got out yesterday that Lamar Jackson officially requested a trade from the Ravens. So reporters immediately ran to Joe Douglas to see if they would make a run at him since the Aaron Rodgers deal is done. He said that would not be done in good faith, so he is not talking to the Ravens about Lamar. Packers GM Brian Gutekunst admitted they are likely not getting a number one pick for Rodgers. Boomer expects the Rodgers deal with the Jets to get done this week. Lamar said goodbye to Ravens fans yesterday on social media. Gio thinks Lamar could sit out this year. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with audio from Jets GM Joe Douglas and Head Coach Rob Saleh on the current Aaron Rodgers situation. Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said he reached out to Rodgers and never heard back from him. John Harbaugh met the media but wasn’t aware of the Lamar Jackson tweet where he said goodbye to Ravens fans. Robert Kraft said his objective is to make the playoffs. Bill Belichick said fans should look at ‘the last 25 years’. The Knicks snapped a 3-game losing streak behind Immanuel Quickley’s 40 points. Luka Doncic was playing dominoes and did not see his video going viral. The Islanders beat the Devils 5-1. In the final segment of the hour, Gio wants us to appreciate the superfans from around here like License Plate Guy and Fireman Ed. The Chiefs superfan, ‘Chiefsaholic’, is on the run from police after robbing a bank in Oklahoma. Gio can’t believe you can still get away with robbing a bank these days. 

Hour 2:

Two fan bases that want Lamar Jackson are the Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts. We caution that with the saying, ‘Coaches who listen to the fans end up sitting with the fans’. Gio said there is pressure on the Patriots in the division, especially with Rodgers coming to the Jets. Is there pressure for the Patriots to go after Lamar? John Mara did not shut the door on OBJ reuniting with the Giants, although he did comment on his off the field stuff. Boomer said he would wait to sign OBJ if he was the Jets until after the Rodgers deal is done. If Lamar is traded, who will QB the Ravens? Jerry returns for an update and starts with audio from Joe Douglas and Brian Gutekunst on where they’re at with the Rodgers situation. Bill Belichick commented on if there are any trades on the table involving the Patriots. John Mara talked about trying to work out a long term deal with Saquon Barkley.

The Knicks beat the Rockets last night behind Immanuel Quickley’s 40 points. Phillies Catcher J.T. Realmuto was thrown out of a game because the ump thought he was showing him up on an exchange with a new ball. And the Islanders beat the Devils in Long Island. In the final segment of the hour, Sal Licata defended himself on the air last night after Gio called him a leech.

Sebastian Joseph-Day of the Chargers claims he was sexually assaulted by TSA personnel on Friday. Gio said those TSA agents really dig in there when they are checking you. Boomer said sometimes guys don’t wear underwear and maybe that was part of the problem. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Packers GM Brian Gutekunst on the current Aaron Rodgers situation. Jerry Jones was asked about Zeke coming back on a lower contract. He also talked about his relationship with Daniel Snyder. It’s not ‘lovey dovey’. Andy Reid forgot he played against Jordan Love 2 years ago. Mets GM Billy Eppler talked about the ‘diversity’ of the Mets bench. He doesn’t want a bunch of ‘big hairy guys’ that just hit the ball in the seats. The Islanders beat the Devils 5-1. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about last night’s Knicks win and Julius Randle’s previous outbursts.
