Boomer and Gio start the show reacting to Ian O'Connor's report that Joe Schoen might not be guaranteed to return as Giants GM next season. They also dive into the Mavericks' decision to fire GM Nico Harrison after the Luka Doncic fallout. Jerry opens his first update by calling Jets Head Coach Aaron Glenn a “tool” for stonewalling the media over injury questions, and shares Knicks highlights as they stay perfect at MSG. The hour wraps with debate over Bill Belichick's fading reputation and Gio pointing out that Mike Kafka not Brian Daboll was the one calling the plays that have Jaxson Dart running wild.
Boomer and Gio light up the airwaves with a mix of chaos, comedy, and controversy. They kick off reacting to Ian O'Connor's bombshell that Joe Schoen might not be safe as Giants GM, then pivot to the Mavericks firing Nico Harrison after his Luka Doncic fallout. Jerry calls Aaron Glenn a “tool” for his media meltdown, sparking a heated debate about combative coaches and frustrated reporters. In Hour 2, Gio doubles down on Glenn's behavior saying you can't pick fights with the media when you're losing and the guys talk Bill Belichick's fall from legend to unwanted while breaking news drops: Jameis Winston is expected to start for the Giants. They also check out the Patriots' new “nor'easter” uniforms and debate Antonio Pierce as a fiery fit for the Giants. Hour 3 turns Hollywood as Boomer recounts sitting next to Michael Kay and Adam Schefter at the Landman premiere with Demi Moore stealing the spotlight. Then comes the call that takes over the day: a WFAN Golf Invitational featuring Mike Francesa in Boomer and Gio's foursome. Hour 4 wraps with more Giants fan fury one caller calling Joe Schoen a “back-stabbing s.o.b.” plus Al Dukes filling in for Jerry with the Moment of the Day: the now-legendary WFAN Golf Invitational debate. Gio ends the show with a mic drop: “There's zero chance Francesa says yes.”
Boomer and Gio react to Ian O'Connor's report that Joe Schoen's job as Giants GM isn't safe beyond this season, raising questions about ownership's trust and the team's direction after firing Brian Daboll. The guys debate how Schoen could go from “rebuilding hero” to “on the hot seat” so quickly. Then they pivot to the NBA, where the Mavericks fired GM Nico Harrison after his handling of Luka Doncic backfired. Boomer and Gio wonder if this could be a cautionary tale for the Giants — when star players and front offices clash, someone always pays the price.
Mike Francesa analyzes the Giants' coaching upheaval and ponders Joe Schoen's job security. Plus, thoughts on Daboll's future, Glenn's job performance, the Yankees' and Mets' roster needs, and more. 00:00 Giants promote Kafka 04:00 Giants GM keeping his job? 06:20 Daboll to Bills? 08:10 Is Glenn doing a better job? 11:45 Did Knicks make a mistake by firing Thibs? 14:20 Alonso to Yanks, Bellinger to Mets? 17:00 Should Mets go after Skubal? 22:00 More on the Giants
BT & Sal aggressively react to Ian O'Connor's report that Joe Schoen is "not certain" to return as Giants GM next year, suggesting the GM's job is far from safe despite the organization's public stance. The hosts blast the Mara family's decision to have a potentially lame-duck GM lead the head coach search, calling it a prime example of the Giants "compounding problems" and "lacking awareness." They tear into Schoen's four-year record (a dismal 20-40-1), demanding to know when his "brilliant" drafting and salary cap "cleanup" will translate into actual wins. The debate concludes with a fiery discussion on the proper evaluation timeline for a GM, with BT & Sal arguing that by Year Five, the Giants must be a definitive playoff team, a goal they see as impossibly distant with the current regime.
