Hour 1
Yesterday on WFAN, you could hear the hosts going through the seven stages of grief regarding Aaron Rodgers’ injury. Joe Benigno was in denial and Brandon Tierney went right to anger. We played many short clips of BT freaking out about how the Jets are not dead and how he’s standing behind Zach Wilson. Gio still doesn’t believe that Zach can be a competent QB. There is too much competition in the AFC to think you are going to do anything in the playoffs without a great QB, no matter how good your defense is. Gio cannot believe how positive Benigno feels after expecting a Super Bowl this year. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with Rob Saleh wondering why people are writing an obituary on the Jets. He made it clear Zach is the QB going forward. Micah Parsons thought the Giants should have pulled Daniel Jones once the game got out of hand. Adam Schein doesn’t think Zach Wilson should even be in the league. Ronny Mauricio hit a deep HR last night. Max Scherzer has yet another injury with the Rangers. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer & Gio went golfing yesterday.
Hour 2
Yesterday The Athletic said Aaron Rodgers didn’t like some of the plays Nathaniel Hackett was calling. Boomer said Rodgers held on to the ball way too long. A caller can’t believe Jets fans and coaches are buying into Zach Wilson again. Boomer said sometimes it takes time with players, the way it did with Geno Smith. Jerry returns for an update and talks about the level of disappointment after the Aaron Rodgers injury. He also said Zach Wilson is a changed man from a year ago. Joe Benigno was on Evan and Tiki and was very positive. Sean McDermott talked about all the turnovers the Bills had Monday night. Deion Sanders met the media and had a few senior moments talking about their upcoming game against Colorado State. In the final segment of the hour, Gio has a 1979 East Islip football schedule that was found in a wall on Long Island. Boomer then realized his senior year was 1978, so that’s not his schedule.
Hour 3
Gio is going against his team, the Vikings, by picking the Eagles this week in his knockout pool. We talked more about Zach Wilson and Gio thinks if Joe Douglas didn’t draft him he would be gone. Gio questions whether the locker room respects him or even likes him. Jerry returns for an update and has audio from Rob Saleh on the Jets moving forward without Aaron Rodgers. Gio wishes Zach Wilson was more of an underdog so we could root for him. Maybe Zach should make up a story about his past so we all pull for him. Jerry Jones was asked if he would trade Cooper Rush to the Jets. Jerry has clips of Vic Dibitetto’s comments after the Giants blowout loss to the Cowboys. Mike Tomlin thought the Steelers ‘stunk up the joint’. In the final segment of the hour, there are rumors that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are dating. Gio wonders if he’s emotionally deep enough for her.
Hour 4
The Mets are bringing in David Stearns as President of Baseball Operations. Boomer said he was the best NARP available. That’s Non Athletic Regular Person. Gio welcomes him to Hell (New York). A caller wonders if Bill Belichick got a chubby after realizing Zach Wilson was back to QB’ing the Jets. A caller thinks Zach Wilson should date Gisele and then the fans would love him. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Mexican government releasing videos and pictures of aliens that they found that are over 1,000 years old. Moment of The Day involves a fired up Brandon Tierney. In the final segment of the show, Gio is still trying to figure out if he believes the aliens that were unveiled by the Mexican government.
