A lot went on with NFL free agency yesterday, in particular, Saquon Barkley going to the Eagles and the beef situation between him and Tiki Barber. Gio said this will not change anything as the Eagles have had no problem with the Giants without Saquon. The Giants also got LB Brian Burns from the Panthers. Boomer said Tiki was being tongue in cheek when he was saying he was dead to him for joining the Eagles. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with audio from Evan and Tiki reacting to Saquon’s tweets about Tiki. Gerrit Cole has an elbow issue and is awaiting MRI results. Aaron Judge feels ‘kind of beat up’. Darryl Strawberry is recovering from a heart attack. The Rangers beat the Devils at MSG. In the final segment of the hour, we went through some of the big moves in the NFL from yesterday and took calls from Giants fans on Saquon going to the Eagles.
Tyrod Taylor went from the Giants to the Jets to backup Aaron Rodgers. Kirk Cousins is signing with the Falcons. The Falcons now have a lot of great young players on offense with a veteran QB. We took calls from Giants fans who are not happy that Saquon went to the Eagles. Jerry returns for an update and has audio of newest Jet Javon Kinlaw from his days with the Niners. It’s a warning for Rich Cimini and all the other reporters that cover the Jets. We also have audio from Evan Roberts saying something strange about Gardner Minshew. Edwin Diaz pitched yesterday and Jerry thinks the Mets are going to be good. Gerrit Cole may have an elbow injury and Aaron Judge has spring soreness. In the final segment of the hour, Tee Higgins requested a trade from the Bengals.
Matt Hamachek, the Director of the Patriots documentary, ‘The Dynasty’, joins us in the studio. Some Patriots fans are upset with the documentary. He did 71 interviews including Roger Goodell, Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. We did a second segment with Matt, moving Jerry to the third segment this hour. Boomer asked Matt why he thought Tom Brady wanted to leave and win a Super Bowl with another team. Gio compared the Patriots to a BLT. In the final segment of the hour, Aaron Jones is going from the Packers to the Vikings.
There are still some big free agent names out there in the NFL despite all the signings yesterday. Derrick Henry and Justin Fields are both still out there. We are also still awaiting results from the MRI on Gerrit Cole’s elbow. We also talked about Josh Hart and the pace he’s been on since the Knicks injuries. We took calls from Giants fans reacting to Saquon going to the Eagles. Gio can’t believe how many fans are upset with Saquon leaving in free agency. Gio said it happens all the time in sports now. How can you get upset with it? Jerry returns for his final update of the day and has audio from Evan and Tiki talking about Saquon and Tiki is getting really annoyed with him. Boomer said Tiki is finding out what it’s like working with non-athletes now. Jerry has audio of comedian Sam Morril being awkward on a local morning TV show. Darryl Strawberry is recovering from a heart attack. The Moment of The Day involves Javon Kinlaw, the latest NY Jet, going at a reporter when he was in San Francisco.
