The Cincinnati Bengals are in crisis mode. Following a heartbreaking loss to the Chicago Bears, Dave Lapham (In The Trenches) and Joe Goodberry (Bengals On The Brain) do not hold back, digging deep into the systemic issues plaguing the team, particularly the defense, which has reached historic lows. In this special episode, presented by First Star Logistics, Lapham and Goodberry dissect the fallout, the locker room tension, and the difficult moves the organization must consider ahead of the NFL Trade Deadline. In this episode, they discuss HISTORIC DEFENSE: Why the Bengals' current defense is statistically the worst in 25 years and the alarming failure to execute simple fundamentals, especially tackling.

TRADE DEADLINE FIRE: Which players are on the hot seat, the buzz around potential trades (like Trey Hendrickson), and the critical decisions Zac Taylor and the front office must make. COACHING PRESSURE: The increasing heat on the coaching staff and how long the organization can wait for a "reset" before the season is completely lost. A BENGALS LEGEND: A heartfelt tribute to Bengals Ring of Honor-caliber tight end and legendary broadcaster, Bob Trumpy. Can the Bengals turn the worm? Or is the season already over? Watch to hear the raw, honest truth about the state of the Cincinnati Bengals.

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.
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.
