Ryan Clark found out during a show yesterday he was being let go. Boomer and Gio discuss Clark’s controversial moments at ESPN and the media wars he got into, including ones with Gio and Tiki.

Carlos Beltrán discussed managing the Mets on a conference call. It’s on his bucket list. The Red Sox won their 14th straight game. Aaron Rodgers posted pictures with his estranged family members but still nothing of his wife. Also, Gio wonders about what Boomer’s yard sale would be like.

Gio loves that Tiki Barber compared someone trying to watch soccer being lost because they don’t understand it to someone trying to understand the “Dune” movie franchise. Also, Gio turned down an opportunity to interview the cast of “The Hawk” but Shaun Morash took it and ran with it.

Gio explains that the men only talk to the other men while the women only talk to the other women.

Drew Brees joins us in studio to begin the hour. He discusses what it was like playing in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Brees recalls the end of his time with the Chargers and how he ended up with the Saints instead of the Dolphins.

Jerry's first update starts with the second of Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s two HRs to help the Yankees beat the Pirates. Benches cleared when Dennis Santana got mad at Jose Caballero. We discuss golfing when storms hit. Freddy Peralta doesn't know why he’s been struggling this year. Rich Paul said LeBron will not rush his decision. Gio thinks LeBron will choose Miami so he can play golf year-round.

Boomer thinks Francisco Lindor is not happy and the Mets should consider trading him. Gio believes this is shaping up to be the worst year in Mets history.

Plus, they debate Bryson DeChambeau’s controversial penalty at the British Open, roast Tom Brady’s new "cornball status," guess 1998's highest-earning celebrities, and tackle everything from Cam Skattebo’s backflip injury to Jordan Clarkson's nightclub heroism and Boomer's farting habits.

Boomer and Gio kick off another summer week tackling a dud World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium where Boomer napped and missed nothing. Gio has no sympathy for Lionel Messi, everyone hates Argentina’s fans, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic delivered a blunt, final TV appearance. Jerry’s first update highlights Spain’s World Cup win over Argentina and Craig Burley ripping how they played, before transitioning to baseball where the Yankees split a doubleheader with the Dodgers behind a Jazz Chisholm Jr. home run, the Mets took two of three from the Phillies with a big game from Francisco Lindor, and the Red Sox won their 13th straight. Meanwhile, Ryan Fox won the British Open and Rory McIlroy called out Bryson DeChambeau. Finally, the guys debate a caller’s take on whether the soccer final needed scoring or action.
