Boomer & Gio

Gio gave credit to Deshaun Watson for being a good quarterback after a terrible week 1. The biggest disappointment so far is Drake Maye.

As always here's Jerry's entire first update of the day starting with Geno Smith’s TD pass to Garrett Wilson. Aaron Glenn talked about what went wrong with the defense late in the game. We heard from John Harbaugh on the final interception to seal the game. Jerry went around the NFL. He also touches on the baseball as we head to the post season.

The Jets were able to hang with the Lions until the end. It’s definitely a step in the right direction. Boomer was very impressed with the Giants special teams.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle side with Aaron Boone when it comes to the discourse surrounding Aaron Judge's return. The two also debate if Judge actually will play in the Wild Card Series against Boston, as the captain insists he plans on playing, while Boone initially said he likely won't. Plus, Evan and Tiki believe Judge is the one who gets to call the shots when it comes to his return. If Judge can't make it back from his calf injury, Tommy Lugauer believes the Yankees can still win a championship without him.

Jaxson Dart's season is done, and for Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle, that means the Giants' season is done. Tiki Barber makes it clear that he does NOT feel the same, ripping any Giants fans for quitting after two games and one bad injury. Plus, Boomer and Gio discuss how expectations have changed for Big Blue, Connor Hughes joins Evan and Tiki right when the Dart news broke, and Pat Leonard of the Daily News joined The Carton Show and called out John Harbaugh and the Giants for how they handled the Dart injury updates.

Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti react to the news that Jaxson Dart’s season is over and what it means for the Giants. Plus:

-Phil Simms on Dart and the Giants QB situation

-Looking at other QB options for the Giants

-Should QBs play more during the preseason?

-The Jets let one slip away

-Week 3 picks

Today's show breaks down the Falcons' dominant Thursday night win over the Packers, Michael Penix Jr.'s impressive performance, and Green Bay's alarming 1-2 start. We also debate potential quarterback options for the Giants—including Jimmy Garoppolo—and Jaxson Dart comparisons, highlight George Lombard Jr.'s big day for the Yankees, preview Cowboys-Ravens in Rio, and lock in our weekly NFL picks.

We start with the Falcons' Thursday night win over Green Bay, Boomer’s praise for Michael Penix Jr.’s return, his hopes for Jaxson Dart, and the 1-2 Packers’ mounting issues. Boomer arrived with a wrapped finger after a doctor removed a splinter, followed by Gio’s crazy story about a friend's kidney stone. Jerry’s update covered the Falcons' win, a controversial roughing call leading to a touchdown. The Yankees beat the Rays behind George Lombard Jr.’s wild slide and home run, and with Rami out, is Nico now running Boomer’s weekend football show with Mike Valenti?
