while preparing this week's sbow,  like many of you, I could not help but reflect on Shedeur Sanders' precipitous free-fall thru the NFL Draft, with the projected early-round pick sliding thru rounds 1-5, then doing a complete nose dive thru the UFL Draft before finally being selected in 3rd round of the 2025 Arena Football League draft. Despite Sanders' humiliation, this is an impressive achievement just the same given the AFL has been defunct since 2019. But Sanders' difficult weekend brought to mind so many of the challenges I face with this show every week. Impossibly high expectations. A cruel, callous media (to say nothing of the public) that cannot wait to micro-analyze even the tiniest of errors. And then of course, there's the irrational jealousy on the part of my alleged friends & colleagues in the online radio game. Much like Mr. Sanders, I'm a manufactured-motivation FACTORY over here. He'll persevere and if the same is true of myself, I'll be certain to TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT.

Pro Football Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champion, and former St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner joins the show to reminisce the Rams Super Bowl win over the Tennessee Titans 25 years ago today. Warner touches on the incredible offense he played alongside, how his career in the Arena Football League shaped his playstyle, and his opinions on the Eagle and Chiefs in this year's Super Bowl.

We talked more about the Jets looking like they will agree to a deal with Aaron Glenn to become their next head coach. Gio doesn't like it because it's another coordinator with zero head coaching experience. We talked about Glenn's gameplan this past weekend against Jayden Daniels. It's looking like we're getting two fair weather games this weekend. C-Lo returns for an update, but first we talked about the Championship game in KC where Walker Hayes' ‘Fancy Like' was blasting through the stadium as the NFL Today was trying to broadcast. Aaron Glenn was on a podcast a few years ago and talked about relating to players. We wondered if Glenn would keep Aaron Rodgers at QB. Lance Newmark could be coming as GM as they worked together in Detroit before Lance went to Washington. We wondered who some famous people named Lance were. We heard the sounds of Ohio State beating Notre Dame in the National Championship. Kirk Herbstreit was emotional after the game. The Knicks beat the Hawks at MSG. In the final segment of the hour, our own Peter Schwartz has been hired as the GM of an arena football team playing at the Nassau Coliseum. The idea is to recruit local players. Peter will pick the coach. The coach will pick the players. Is this a full time job? Does he have an office?

Hour 4 - On the fourth and final hour of Fitzy and Lyons: Fitzy and Lyons give 10 players that they are looking forward to watching next week when the Patriots open training camp. Fitzy and Lyons discuss the WNBA All-Star Game, the Arena Football League championship being played in an unusual place, and more. 

Jeff Fisher is here in-studio. The former head coach of the Titans and Rams is now the commissioner of the Arena Football League. ArenaBowl XXXIII will be played at the American Dream in New Jersey tomorrow. Jerry returns for an update but first, Boomer and Gio note how good Jeff Fisher looks and Gio doesn't not agree with Boomer that he looks like J.D. Vance. Peter has to interrupt the segment for a moment and now we wonder what we can get out of him at the next Boomer & Gio live. Kim Kardashian got a salmon sperm facial. Joggers are controversial. In the final segment of the hour, Gio says that any WNBA players who have been jealous of Caitlin Clark should back off that after she helped the WNBA procure a $2 billion media rights deal. Boomer and Gio wonder what's next for Brandon Aiyuk.

Someone sent Gio a YouTube link of the game the guys just discussed when Jeff Fisher asked Boomer about the offense the Bengals ran. Gio's glory days of being a football fan coincided with Fisher's late 90s/early 2000s Titans team. Those Titans were in two of the most memorable games in the last 30 years. There used to be a “Cocaine” energy drink. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio asks if anyone cares about the Olympics next week. Gio will watch with his daughters. Chris “Mad Dog” Russo and Paul Finebaum got heated on First Take. Dog can talk USC football going back to 1910. In the final segment of the hour, Peter Schwartz is here to tell us about the Arena Football League and Arena Bowl before Jeff Fisher joins the show.

Hour 1 Gio is back and has caught up on Hard Knocks. He was shocked by Pro Football Focus's ranking of the Giants roster. He has us guess where we think they have the Giants. PFF has them 31st out of all 32 teams. The Jets are 4th. Boomer and Gio are surprised they are that low. It's clear now that the Giants wanted to trade up for a QB and Boomer says things would have gotten ugly with Daniel Jones if they were successful. Boomer thinks the Giants are portraying some Hard Knocks scenes in specific ways to give off the appearance they want fans to see. Do the Giants have too many voices in the room? Will Brandon Aiyuk's situation impact Davante Adams? Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first Boomer points out that Brock Purdy isn't one of the 50 highest paid 49ers. Purdy and Jordan Love will soon want to get paid. Jerry has audio of Adam Schein saying the Giants are run by a buffoon. Davante Adams spoke highly of Aidan O'Connell and Tom Brady. Caitlin Clark broke a WNBA record with 19 assists in a game. Clark and Sabrina Ionescu will not be in this weekend's 3-point contest. Nobody knows why but Boomer, Gio and Jerry all think it's a missed opportunity for the WNBA. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer recalls a postgame conversation with former Titans coach Jeff Fisher, who will be in-studio with us later this morning. Boomer and Gio remember old energy drinks. ArenaBowl is at the American Dream in New Jersey tomorrow and airing on CBS Sports Network. Boomer and Gio try to convince Eddie to go. YouTube golf is skyrocketing in popularity. Baseball needs to find its way to younger eyeballs online. The Copa America final almost beat the All-Star game in the ratings. Hour 2 Someone sent Gio a YouTube link of the game the guys just discussed when Jeff Fisher asked Boomer about the offense the Bengals ran. Gio's glory days of being a football fan coincided with Fisher's late 90s/early 2000s Titans team. Those Titans were in two of the most memorable games in the last 30 years. There used to be a “Cocaine” energy drink. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio asks if anyone cares about the Olympics next week. Gio will watch with his daughters. Chris “Mad Dog” Russo and Paul Finebaum got heated on First Take. Dog can talk USC football going back to 1910. In the final segment of the hour, Peter Schwartz is here to tell us about the Arena Football League and Arena Bowl before Jeff Fisher joins the show. Hour 3 Jeff Fisher is here in-studio. The former head coach of the Titans and Rams is now the commissioner of the Arena Football League. ArenaBowl XXXIII will be played at the American Dream in New Jersey tomorrow. Jerry returns for an update but first, Boomer and Gio note how good Jeff Fisher looks and Gio doesn't not agree with Boomer that he looks like J.D. Vance. Peter has to interrupt the segment for a moment and now we wonder what we can get out of him at the next Boomer & Gio live. Kim Kardashian got a salmon sperm facial. Joggers are controversial. In the final segment of the hour, Gio says that any WNBA players who have been jealous of Caitlin Clark should back off that after she helped the WNBA procure a $2 billion media rights deal. Boomer and Gio wonder what's next for Brandon Aiyuk. Hour 4 A conversation between Joe Scheon and Dan Morgan on Hard Knocks led Gio to wonder if Schoen and Brian Daboll are on the hot seat this season. Boomer thinks the offseason version of Hard Knocks was a compromise between the team and league. The NFL wanted the Giants on the training camp version of Hard Knocks but the Giants did not want to do it. Caleb Williams and his agents tried to get creative with his rookie contract. If the NFL does go to an 18 game regular season, the players will have to get something back. Jerry returns for his final update of the day but first Gio and Boomer say how happy it makes them to see Marc Malusis. Moose lights up a room. How much do big mascots make? There are no excuses for Team USA at the Olympics. The Moment of The Day involves Chris Russo telling Paul Finebaum all about the history of USC football. In the final segment of the day,  Boomer and Gio discuss the report that the Jets reached out to Arthur Smith to help run their offense. How annoyed are they by the perception that Aaron Rodgers can do whatever he wants? Mrs. Met is Evan's hall pass.

Jeff Fisher talks his NFL career and the Arena Football League.

A conflicting weekend for the New York Mets. Time to start trading players?A Presidential Address on the state of the Albany Firebirds and Arena Football League from Team President Jeff LevackThe Dump features Belmont Stakes talk 

Skip Gilbert is no stranger to the sports industry. As a former professional soccer player, the sport may well be his true love. But his previous stints included one with the USADA, the anti-doping agency, as managing director of operations, marketing and development; managing director of professional tennis operations and tournament manager for the U.S. Open in New York; CEO of USA Triathlon; a vice president for the Arena Football League; and chief marketing officer of USA Swimming. Along the way, he's also become one of the industry's staunchest advocates for kids being involved in sports for their own health and well-being — and being involved in as many sports as possible to avoid specialization. Since 2020, he has been at the helm of US Youth Soccer, the largest youth sport organizations in the United States, which is focused on having a positive impact on the lives of America's youth through the game of soccer. The group's mission is to make soccer the preeminent youth sport in the country, and they are well on their way. Soccer participation has held steady or grown in recent years and the big events headed to the United States, including of course the FIFA World Cup in 2026, may only serve as a catalyst for continued growth, or at the least an aspirational event that could well fuel future growth in the sport. In this discussion, we sit down with Gilbert to discuss the state of youth soccer, the opportunities and challenges ahead for the sport, the rise of the professional leagues for both men and women, and the importance of diversity when it comes to kids getting active in sports.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[An essential fan favorite from 2018 - with the dean of "forgotten sports" promotion!]  If someone ever decides to build an American sports promotion Hall of Fame, the inaugural class will undoubtedly be led by this week's special guest, Doug Verb.  In a career spanning more than 40 years in professional sports management, Verb's remarkable career has included spearheading marketing, promotion, publicity, and television for some of the most innovative and memorable leagues and franchises of the modern era.  One of the founding executives of both the pioneering Major Indoor Soccer League (along with sports entrepreneurs Earl Foreman, Ed Tepper, and previous podcast guest Dr. Joe Machnik), and the frenetic Arena Football League (with the sport's inventor [and past two-part guest] Jim Foster), Verb additionally  served as president of pro soccer's legendary Chicago Sting from 1982-86 – which, incredibly, drifted between playing in two separate leagues during his tenure (for one year, simultaneously) – the outdoor North American Soccer League and the indoor MISL.  In our longest and more anecdote-filled episode to date, Verb vividly recounts the highs and lows of launching new teams, leagues and even sports themselves from whole cloth – with nary an operational blueprint or career roadmap to be found.  Buckle up for a wild ride through the woeful 1976 NASL Philadelphia Atoms, the “Rocket Red” pinball-like MISL, soccer for all seasons in the Windy City, and birthing indoor football.  PLUS:  Kiddie City to the rescue; Earl Foreman's “Brother-in-Law Effect;” getting paid in soybeans; and the curious one-game history of the Liberty Basketball Association!  + + +  SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY   SPONSOR THANKS: Royal Retros (promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats   FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable
