Boomer is doom-scrolling about Hurricane Erin. It sounds like Boomer wants the hurricane to hit us. Boomer doesn't but it sounds like he's kind of wanting it to.

Jayden Daniels ran for a TD against the Bengals who seemed to have no interest in tackling. The Browns named Joe Flacco as their starting QB.

Boomer claims US Open Tennis is the most profitable and most attended sporting event in America, even more so than the Super Bowl. We are arguing against Boomer on this one.
