If you are going to pay big money for a free agent, it better be an everyday player like Juan Soto.

Disclaimer: He's fine so don't worry. We wonder if CBS would have sent a camera crew to cover the funeral of Jerry if he was killed by the golf ball that hit him in the eye.

Yamamoto is a Dodger. Gio is comfortable with what happened. Boomer said he feels bad for Steve Cohen. He went to Japan, he hosted him for dinner in CT. He feels Cohen got played by Yamamoto. Boomer never thought he was coming to the Mets.

The Mets have no expectations now, so maybe that’s good, considering what we had last year. Gio called Cohen & Stearns ‘The Property Brothers’, going in and working with what they got.

Yamamoto used Steve Cohen and the Mets to sign with the Dodgers for 12 years.

Hour 1

Boomer is still not feeling great but he’s taking his meds and eating Buckly cough drops that taste like you’re eating Vicks VapoRub. Boomer was texting Wally Szczerbiak throughout the Knicks game last night. They beat the Nets no problem. Mitchell Robinson is now out for the season in what Gio is calling ‘the first unsuccessful surgery’. Fat Perez reacted to Boomer calling him fat. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and has clips from Fat Perez saying Boomer thinks he’s fat. Jerry has audio from the Knicks win over the Nets. Rob Saleh appreciates Aaron Rodgers backing him to the media. Tommy DeVito talked about smoothing things over with the pizza place in Morristown. In the final segment of the hour, Gio watches 3 things during the week: YouTube golf, Hard Knocks and 1,000 Pound Sisters. This week on Hard Knocks, Mike McDaniel was in his office at 4am, blasting Eminem, going through film. Gio thinks McDaniel is the most fascinating guy in the NFL. He tried to sell his wife on it but she wasn’t interested. 

Hour 2

Today is the shortest day of the year. Tonight the Saints play the Rams in Los Angeles. The Rams are in a competitive rebuild and are currently a Wild Card team. Boomer credits Baker Mayfield for having the Bucs in first place. We looked ahead at this week’s key games on the NFL schedule with playoff spots on the line. The Giants point differential is crazy this year. Most of the top teams right now have their starting quarterback. Gio said the Cleveland Browns with Joe Flacco would be a great story to go to the Super Bowl. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about the year in review CBS Sports Network did. Gio thought it was a great year which now makes him think next year will not be as good. Jerry has audio of the Knicks beating the Nets 121-102. Rob Saleh talked about activating Aaron Rodgers and why they did that even though he will not play. Brian Daboll talked about how good the Eagles are even though they lost 3 straight. Mike McDaniel talked about the ‘trash plan’ he had in the game against the Titans. Mike Tomlin talked about George Pickens and the way he’s dealing with the media. Butch Goring rejects Paul Bissonnette’s olive branch. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer is impressed with the company’s medicine cabinet. A caller wonders if OJ will have a presence at the Super Bowl if the Bills get there. Boomer tells the story of being invited to OJ’s house for dinner (before the murders). A photo of Boomer with OJ was also used as evidence in the trial. Would we have OJ on the show during Super Bowl week? 

Hour 3

Angel Cabrera is cleared to return to the PGA Tour after prison. He did win a Masters so Gio wonders if he will be invited back. Boomer doesn’t think he will be invited back. Cameron Diaz thinks it’s a good idea for married couples to have separate rooms or maybe even separate houses. Jerry is here for an update and starts with the Knicks beating the Nets 121-102. We heard a clip of John Minko as St. John’s beat Xavier. Chris Russo had some thoughts on Christmas. Rob Saleh was asked about Zach Wilson and concussion protocol. Tommy DeVito talked about playing on the road in Philadelphia. He said he likes a hostile crowd. There was a brawl on Sunrise Highway after a car accident. Mike McDaniel talked about playing Eminem in prepping for games. In the final segment of the hour, Matt Shor, Nate Burleson’s eyeglasses guy, is in the studio to talk about Phil Simms’ lady glasses. He said Phil had the biggest head he has ever fitted. 

Hour 4

It seems like we are not going to get a Yamamoto decision until after the New Year. Gio still doesn’t think the Mets will get him. MLB free agency is infuriating with how long it takes for a decision to be made. Every insider besides Jeff Passan is just throwing every take out there. A caller wonders how MLB let the Dodgers defer the overwhelming majority of Ohtani’s contract. A caller wonders why nobody wants to sign Trevor Bauer even though his name was cleared. Gio thinks teams don’t want the negativity around the signing even if he was cleared. A caller still can’t believe Peter Schwartz didn’t know what veal was. Peter is a simple man and Gio is jealous of that. Boomer said Peter is an optimist and Jerry is a pessimist. Jerry is here for his final update and he starts with the Knicks beating the Nets in Brooklyn. Rob Saleh thinks Aaron Rodgers will play even more than 2 or 3 more years. Tommy DeVito talked about how big it would be to go into Philadelphia and win. The Moment of The Day involves Nate Burleson’s glasses guys and Phil Simms’ lady glasses. In the final segment of the show, the Jeffrey Epstein client list is set to be released early next month according to a judge’s ruling.
