Overnight producer Mike Fliegelman, a huge Jets fan, tweeted something that Boomer really liked. It was in regards to Lance Newmark, the guy the Jets are likely to hire as GM. He does not seem to be a fan and he explained why. The Jets still don't know what's going on with Aaron Rodgers. Gio wants Aaron Glenn, in his press conference, to say, ‘I know it's a mess here and it's going to be a tough job'. Lance Newmark doesn't know about the bus that is about to drive over him. Boomer thinks Patriots fans must be pumped. They got Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels is coming back. And they have Drake Maye to play under these guys. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with Dan Orlovsky apologizing for tweeting people yelling at Lamar and Andrews are losers. Nick Saban was asked if he has any regrets (he does). CC Sabathia became a first ballot Hall of Famer and talked about finding a home in the Bronx. Sal Licata was screaming about the Dodgers continuing to sign players and is betting the under on Dodgers wins. The Knicks beat the Nets in Brooklyn. The Moment of The Day: Mike Francesa vs the trunk of his car. In the final segment of the hour, the Bears are paying Ben Johnson $13 million. Where will Brian Flores end up? The entire Commanders/Eagles game will be decided on Washington being able to stop Saquon Barkley or not.
