Hour 1 NBA free agency is buzzing, with the Bucks making moves and the Knicks signing Guerschon Yabusele. The NHL's free agency has been quieter, though the Rangers did pick up Vladislav Gavrikov. On the baseball front, the Yankees lost in Toronto due to defensive errors. The Mets face a doubleheader that will strain their pitching ahead of their series against the Yankees, a matchup that's sure to leave one fanbase fuming given both teams' recent pitching woes. Elsewhere, WNBA player Sophie Cunningham stirred controversy with her post-game actions and comments on league expansion. Hour 2 A production error led to the wrong Sports Minute being aired, much to Boomer's frustration. Discussions then turned to the puzzling trend of rising NBA salaries and high team valuations, like the Lakers' $10 billion sale, despite years of declining TV ratings. Callers suggested deals with gambling companies might be propping up the league. In other sports news, the Yankees lost in Toronto with more fielding issues, and George Springer hit two homers, including a grand slam. The hour concluded with news that NBA player Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for a potential sports betting scandal, prompting a caller to criticize leagues for their involvement with sportsbooks. Hour 3 Boomer was annoyed by a production error during the Sports Minute. Discussions continued on Malik Beasley's gambling accusations and the potential for players to fix prop bets. News updates included Red Panda's unicycle fall and George Springer's dominant performance against the Yankees. A caller suggested betting on WNBA "unders" based on players' menstrual cycles. Finally, a Queens driving school was exposed for illegal licenses, prompting a Google search for NYC's gambling revenue allocation, which largely funds public schools. Hour 4 The Mets and Yankees are struggling as they prepare for their series, with the Mets even lacking a Sunday starter. NBA free agency sees the Knicks' roster seemingly set and LeBron's agent claiming four teams are interested. A man shared his story of leaving his fiancée for an HR colleague. Updates included the Blue Jays beating the Yankees, the Nets introducing draft picks, and Gio predicting a terrible Dolphins season and Mike McDaniel's firing. The "Moment of The Day" featured a Pete Hoffman interview, and the show concluded with a Diamondbacks fan banned for repeated interference and a caller who tries to get six baseballs per game.

The Mets and Yankees are struggling as they prepare for their series, with the Mets even lacking a Sunday starter. NBA free agency sees the Knicks' roster seemingly set and LeBron's agent claiming four teams are interested. A man shared his story of leaving his fiancée for an HR colleague. Updates included the Blue Jays beating the Yankees, the Nets introducing draft picks, and Gio predicting a terrible Dolphins season and Mike McDaniel's firing. The "Moment of The Day" featured a Pete Hoffman interview, and the show concluded with a Diamondbacks fan banned for repeated interference and a caller who tries to get six baseballs per game.

A man calls in with an interesting story of being engaged, meeting a woman in HR that he fell in love with, and then calling off the wedding. He is now married to the HR woman.

Jerry plays ‘What's that sound?' Colin Cowherd said, ‘the Knicks are weird'. A caller said there's a site that tracks WNBA players' ‘time of the month' and suggests you bet the under on their points.

We continued talking and taking calls on Malik Beasley's gambling accusations and the effect on fans if they know guys are throwing games. A caller said you can fix your own prop bets as a player, and still win the game so what's the big deal.

Jerry has the sounds of Pete Hoffman, the host of WFAN daily's podcast, interviewing a professional women's hockey player. He thinks it comes across as flirtatious. The Yankees lost in Toronto and had another catcher's interference. Springer hit 2 home runs, including a grand slam. So we have more from that including post game explanations.

NBA TV ratings have been bad for years, so how are the salaries still going crazy? The league seems to be on the decline, and the Lakers were just sold for $10 billion. How is that happening? A caller thinks the deals with the gambling companies are keeping the NBA alive.

Jerry starts with the Yankees losing in Toronto on Canada Day. They had problems in the field again, at third base and another catcher's interference. Aaron Judge had another 3 walks yesterday. The Mets have a doubleheader today which is going to screw up their rotation and they seemingly have nobody to pitch against the Yankees.

NBA free agency is buzzing, with the Bucks making moves and the Knicks signing Guerschon Yabusele. The NHL's free agency has been quieter, though the Rangers did pick up Vladislav Gavrikov.

Hour 1 The show kicked off discussing recent NBA free agency moves, particularly LeBron James' situation with the Lakers and potential trade to the Knicks, while noting the Knicks are currently without a coach. Jerry's update included "Boomstradamus" predicting Trent Grisham's hamstring injury for the Yankees, who lost to Toronto, with Anthony Volpe addressing his ill-advised throws. The Nets acquired a 2032 draft pick in a trade, and Netflix released a trailer for a Jerry Jones/Cowboys documentary. The hour concluded with Gio recounting losing power in a recent storm, forcing his family and dogs into one bed, and a discussion about sports documentaries spurred by a caller's wish for a Boomer documentary. Hour 2 Both the Mets and Yankees experienced a "June swoon" leading up to July 1st, with the Mets particularly needing to snap out of their slump. The conversation then meandered to a debate about famous Canadians, with Gio advocating for Celine Dion and Boomer for Wayne Gretzky, even including a bizarre caller claim about Dion. Other topics included the importance of the NFL quarterback position, a Yankees loss in Toronto, NBA free agency moves, a Jerry Jones/Cowboys docuseries trailer, and the details behind Daniel Jones' massive deal with the Giants. The hour concluded with a discussion about a girl falling off a Disney cruise, sparking questions about the incident and shark sightings, and a caller's query about who Boomer would save at WFAN. Hour 3 The hour covered a range of sports topics, starting with Arch Manning's offseason quarterback studies and potential coaching changes for the Steelers and Giants involving Daboll and Tomlin, alongside concerns about NIL's impact on college sports. Jerry's update included the Yankees' loss to Toronto despite a Cody Bellinger homer, Trent Grisham's hamstring injury, and Wilyer Abreu's two monumental homers for the Red Sox. NBA free agency moves and Shane Battier's candid reflections on his retirement struggles were also discussed, as was Jessica Pegula's surprising upset at Wimbledon. The segment ended with Russell Wilson's "fake-sounding" birthday message to WFAN and a rapid shift from the MLB All-Star Game to NHL contracts. Hour 4 As NBA free agency begins, the Knicks lack a coach. Boomer notes league-wide animosity towards the team, while Gio suggests fans would embrace LeBron joining the Knicks with Mike Brown coaching. Jerry delivers his last update after Gio's golf dilemma: walk or cart when playing a "big fella"? The Moment of The Day: "Celine Dion drinks the blood of children." The show concluded discussing WFAN's 38th birthday and early sports talk radio like Bob Trumpy on WLW.

Arch Manning studied two QBs this offseason. Discussion yesterday about Daboll potentially being replaced by Tomlin if Giants or Steelers struggle. Talked about NIL ruining college sports. Jerry reported Yankees lost, Grisham injured, Abreu hit two HRs. NBA free agency moves. Shane Battier discussed his career and retirement. Pegula lost at Wimbledon.

NBA free agency is underway, and the Knicks still lack a coach. Boomer notes a league-wide dislike for the Knicks. Gio believes LeBron joining the Knicks with Mike Brown as coach would excite fans. Jerry delivers his final update, preceded by Gio's golf dilemma: walk or cart, especially against a larger opponent. The Moment of The Day involved Celine Dion. The show's final segment celebrated WFAN's 38th birthday, with Boomer recalling early sports talk shows like Bob Trumpy's on WLW.

Gio thinks if LeBron came to the Knicks, with Mike Brown as the coach, fans would be into it. Dan from Carteret also calls in to talk about something else.

Shane Battier talked about the most humiliating part of his NBA career and the pressure of retiring and no longer having purpose.

We talked about college sports and how NIL is going to ruin everything.

Daniel Jones' agent was on a podcast and talked us through how they got that huge deal from the Giants.

We talked about famous Canadians, but none are more famous than Celine Dion. A caller said Celine is ‘one of these celebrities that drinks the blood of children'.

Boomstradamus is back at it as he said Trent Grisham was the next Yankee to get injured and last night he left the game with a hamstring injury. We heard the sounds of the Yankees losing in Toronto. Anthony Volpe had 2 ill advised throws and he talked about them after the game.

We started with NBA free agency and the moves that were made yesterday, and also LeBron's situation with the Lakers and whether he wants to be traded. And if he is traded, will he land with the Knicks? His former coach Mike Brown came in for a second interview in New York. The NBA is actually in free agency right now and the Knicks don't have a coach, which has never happened before.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Baseball has always had a fascination with matchups, whether it is a lefty pitcher against a lefty hitter or a righty hurler going up against a right-handed batter. But is it still a thing? Bradfo catches up with one of the best in the business in getting lefty hitters out, Yankees reliever Tim Hill, while also talking to a right-handed-hitting weapon, Angels outfielder Taylor Ward.

Hour 1 The Mets suffered a devastating sweep by the Pirates, prompting Boomer to remark on the team's poor performance and the ineffectiveness of a players-only meeting and Carlos Mendoza's ejection. Given the high payroll and dismal run production, Boomer stressed the need for accountability, while Jerry's update highlighted the Mets' struggles and included sound bites from Mendoza, Lindor, and Frankie Montas, alongside news of the Yankees' victory over the A's. Separately, the Knicks are reportedly considering Dawn Staley as a head coach, a prospect Gio dismissed as unlikely, and Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for unusual betting activity in the 2023-24 season. Hour 2 LeBron James has opted into his Lakers contract, but his agent Rich Paul's statement suggests a desire for a trade, possibly campaigning for Giannis to join the Lakers. This has led to speculation about what the Knicks would offer for LeBron, with one caller even suggesting he become a player/coach. In other news, Aaron Judge hit two homers as the Yankees beat the A's, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. had a home run and a triple. The Mets suffered their most lopsided series defeat in history. As NBA free agency begins, LeBron's future is a hot topic, while callers debated the Mets bringing back Syndergaard and deGrom, and if LeBron would force Bronny on the Knicks if he joined. Hour 3 Following former MLB player Dave Parker's passing this weekend, which coincided with the Mets' series in Pittsburgh, Gio reminisced about classic sports photography and its decline due to the internet, while Boomer claimed to have cried over an Islanders draft pick story, which Gio doubted. Both discussed their weekend family entertainment, with Gio attending a dance recital and Boomer's grandchildren seeing the Wiggles. Jerry's update focused on the Mets' continued losses to the Pirates, prompting Steve Cohen to post about the team's state on X, while the Yankees easily defeated the A's with a Cody Bellinger homer. The segment concluded with a discussion of Tom Brady dancing with Sydney Sweeney at a wedding and Gio's dissatisfaction with a thank you from a makeup artist he helped on Fire Island. Hour 4 Knicks enter free agency without a coach. NHL draft, Rangers & Islanders picks discussed. LI football player receiving D1 offers. Jerry's final update, REM's ‘What's The Frequency, Kenneth?', Dan Rather & Tom Brokaw discussed. Can Knicks get LeBron? Is Jerry a ‘father figure' to drafted Rutgers players?

Knicks enter free agency coachless. We discuss the NHL draft, a top LI football recruit, and the REM song "What's The Frequency, Kenneth?", Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw. Could the Knicks get LeBron? Is Jerry a 'father figure' to Rutgers draftees? Mets swept by Pirates; Lindor explains. Judge's two homers lead Yankees over A's. Moment of the Day: Eddie's Poop Cruise insulin sacrifice. Wing Bowl returns in February.

What would it take for the Knicks to get LeBron? Is Jerry a ‘father figure' to the Rutgers players that just got drafted? The Mets got swept in Pittsburgh and Lindor tried to explain what happened. The Yankees beat the A's as Judge homered twice. The Moment of the Day: Eddie gives up his insulin on the Poop Cruise.

The Knicks are going into free agency without a head coach. Has that ever happened before? We also somehow got into the NHL draft and the guys the Rangers and Islanders took. Then we talked about a football player from Long Island that has a bunch of D1 schools offering him scholarships. Good luck.

Jerry starts with the sounds of the Mets losing to the Pirates. We heard from Evan Roberts and Pete Hoffman after the game. Steve Cohen just posted to X about the state of the team after Gio was wondering why he hasn't posted in a while.

Boomer said he cried over the story of the Islanders draft pick. Gio doesn't believe that.

Jerry starts with the sounds of Aaron Judge hitting his second HR of the day as the Yankees beat the A's. Jazz had a homer and a triple. The Mets had their most lopsided series defeat in history this weekend against the Pirates. Carlos Mendoza talked about their problems after the game. Gio wonders if it's time for Steve Cohen to do a positive post on X.

LeBron James opted into his contract with the Lakers, but agent Rich Paul put out a statement that makes it seem like they want the Lakers to trade him. He is building the foundation to get LeBron out of there. Maybe they are campaigning for Giannis to the Lakers. What would the Knicks need to offer to get LeBron here? A caller wants LeBron to be a player/coach for the Knicks.

The Knicks are supposedly talking with Dawn Staley as a head coach candidate. Gio said there is no chance of that happening.

The Mets got swept by the Pirates and were outscored 30-4. Boomer said you know the team is bad when Ron Darling is talking about ice cream sandwiches. They had a players only meeting on Saturday night that did not work. We talked about the Mets payroll and how that payroll only scored 4 runs. Carlos Mendoza got tossed from a game hoping that would help. It didn't. Because of the payroll, ‘Somebody's ass has got to be held accountable', according to Boomer.

Hear from the best guests of the week: Ron Darling, Howie Rose, and Pete Alonso all joined Evan & Tiki at Citi Field to talk all things Mets and baseball. Dexter Henry from SNY joins Keith McPherson to talk about the NBA Draft.
