Aaron Glenn talking about the sting of losing the Championship game to Denver and how he came to get that back for the Jets. Gio channels Joe Benigno talking about Darren Mougey. Jerry Jones met the media and referenced ‘glory holes' again and cried during the press conference.

There's a pic on X that shows a 45 year old Tom Brady compared to a 38 year old Kenny Stabler. Kenny looks no less than 55 years old. Kenny was probably drinking and smoking a lot. Gio thinks it's really the food we're eating here compared to Europe, where people still smoke and still look healthier than a lot of people in America. We took calls on people looking older back a few decades ago than we do now. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with Aaron Glenn talking about the sting of losing the Championship game to Denver and how he came to get that back for the Jets. Gio channels Joe Benigno talking about Darren Mougey. Jerry Jones met the media and referenced ‘glory holes' again and cried during the press conference. The Knicks beat the Grizzlies at the Garden. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls on why people looked older a few decades ago than we do now. Gio has been watching videos about Neptune and the moons around it.

Hour 1 Jerry is in for Boomer today so it's Gio & Jerry. We talked about the Jets press conference with Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey. Glenn said everything Jets fans would want to hear. There are still decisions to be made, including what to do with Aaron Rodgers. If not Rodgers, who are they realistically getting? How much did Glenn have to do with the Lions successful turnaround? When teams are stuck in quarterback hell, like the Jets, it is going to be tough on the head coach. Rodgers comes with a lot of baggage that a head coach has to deal with. Jerry has hope for the Jets, as both the Red Sox and Cubs figured it out. I mean, we had a Cubs/Cleveland World Series. C-Lo is in for Jerry and is here for his first update and starts with the sounds of Aaron Glenn from the press conference. Darren Mougey referenced getting a Super Bowl back to the Jets. The Jags welcomed Liam Coen as the new Head Coach and it didn't go great. In the final segment of the hour, Al & Jerry are struggling to get views on YouTube. Hour 2 In the last 3 years in the playoffs, we looked at penalties called against the Chiefs and those called against their opponents. There is a big difference. This is why people think the Chiefs get the calls. A caller said maybe great teams commit fewer penalties. A woman thinks the refs knew about Dave Portnoy's bet against the Chiefs and favored them because of it. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with the sounds of Aaron Glenn, wanting ‘this job'. Glenn said ‘get used to winning'. He will not be calling the defense because he wants to be ‘the best head coach'. Pete Carroll met the media and was interrupted by Marshawn Lynch. Jerry Jones talked about the risk of hiring Brian Schottenheimer since he has no head coaching experience. In the final segment of the hour, Brett from Long Island vs C-Mac is now a YouTube video on the WFAN channel. A caller said maybe the Chiefs don't make mistakes so they don't get flagged. Hour 3 There's a pic on X that shows a 45 year old Tom Brady compared to a 38 year old Kenny Stabler. Kenny looks no less than 55 years old. Kenny was probably drinking and smoking a lot. Gio thinks it's really the food we're eating here compared to Europe, where people still smoke and still look healthier than a lot of people in America. We took calls on people looking older back a few decades ago than we do now. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with Aaron Glenn talking about the sting of losing the Championship game to Denver and how he came to get that back for the Jets. Gio channels Joe Benigno talking about Darren Mougey. Jerry Jones met the media and referenced ‘glory holes' again and cried during the press conference. The Knicks beat the Grizzlies at the Garden. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls on why people looked older a few decades ago than we do now. Gio has been watching videos about Neptune and the moons around it. Hour 4 Aaron Glenn mentioned in yesterday's press conference that he still thinks about the championship game loss to the Broncos and wants to get that back for the Jets. Gio said they have been in quarterback hell and they're still there. Glenn needs a great quarterback and a great offensive coordinator. Ben Johnson took the Bears job because of Caleb Williams. Mike Vrabel took the Patriots job because of Drake Maye. Jerry was not impressed by Maye, but Gio thought he was pretty good. We have to give Glenn a learning curve. We can't expect him to be a great coach in season one. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day, but first we talked about Gio's dog situation. Jerry used to have a tick where he would say, ‘and a ballsack' in the WFAN newsroom. C-Lo starts with the sounds of Aaron Glenn from his opening press conference. Woody Johnson also spoke about Glenn and GM Darren Mougey. Jon Gruden talked about the challenges of new head coaches. Jerry Jones talked about all the risks he's taken over the last five years.

Hour 1 Boomer hopes that the Jets let Aaron Glenn hire his own staff. Based on some of the names out there, Boomer's not so sure that's happening. Keyshawn Johnson, who was a teammate of Glenn while on the Jets, said there is no way he's bringing Aaron Rodgers back. Jerry is here for his first update of the day, and starts with Liam Coen doing an about face and will become the head coach in Jacksonville. Washington's defensive coordinator talked about treating Jalen Hurts like a RB and hitting him that way. The KC defense talked about the threat of Josh Allen. Amari Cooper was asked if he's satisfied with the amount of catches he's been getting. Jerry went around the NBA last night. The Rangers beat the Flyers so Boomer is happy. In the final segment of the hour, Pete Alonso is supposedly deep into talks with the Toronto Bluejays. He's a fan favorite, but perhaps he's not a favorite in the locker room. Who knows? Hour 2 The National Championship game between Notre Dame and Ohio State didn't have as many viewers as expected. That could be because while it was happening, Trump was doing a press conference where he was taking questions. It also wasn't a very close game most of the way. Boomer thinks Jalen Hurts is hanging onto the ball too long, the same way Sam Darnold did his last 2 games. Hurts does not look like the QB who had a great performance in the Super Bowl a few years ago. Jerry returns for an update, but first Gio said if Saquon Barkley wins a Super Bowl, this will officially be the worst season in the Giants 100 year history. Brian Schottenheimer will likely be the next Cowboys coach and maybe Rex Ryan will be the defensive coordinator. Andy Reid is looking forward to the challenge of playing Buffalo. Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward did their best Boomer & Phil Simms impression as they talked to each other about each other. Joe Benigno wants Pete Alonso back and he blames Stearns and Cohen. He also said, ‘screw Vlad Guerrero, I want my guy'. We heard audio of Ohtani's interpreter calling a bank pretending to be Ohtani looking for a $200,000 withdrawal. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer heard a sports argument in the hallways in the 5am hour. Gio is ashamed to say, he was part of the argument, which he hates. He was arguing with C-Mac about his takes on the Commanders/Lions game. Hour 3 It looks like Rob Saleh is going back to San Francisco. Gio wonders if Aaron Glenn should call Saleh for advice on coaching for the Jets. Boomer said he should not. The Saints, Raiders and Cowboys still need head coaches. Is Pete Carroll getting one of these jobs? A woman who lives in Orchard Park calls in to give a Buffalo Bills report. She has 4 feet of snow in her driveway. Gio is not impressed with Sean McDermott. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Jalen Hurts talking about the Washington defense. Tom Brady talked about what you need to succeed in the NFL and he's referencing Jayden Daniels. Patrick Mahomes talked about having to play your best football in the biggest moments. Josh Allen is confident in being able to win in KC. Stephen A. Smith was on the Howard Stern Show and talked about being more popular than the athletes he covers. Billy Wagner got emotional at the press conference for the Hall of Fame. Ichiro would like to have a drink with the one person who didn't vote for him. The Rangers beat the Flyers which Boomer loves. In the final segment of the hour, Gio saw a car on fire on the L.I.E on his way in. Gio wonders how a car catches fire on a highway. Our makeup artist, Aly, took a pic of it on the way in and Gio wondered why she did that. Hour 4 Gio has stopped believing ‘this is the year', as he's been burned by that many times. People are saying that now about the Bills. They said it about the Lions before last week. Boomer is very impressed with Jayden Daniels rookie season in getting them to the Championship game. We broke down both Championship games and turnovers and all that stuff. Boomer w ...

Gio said he unplugs when he's on vacation and doesn't check out the station. He put it on for his ride and heard Juan Soto talk for an hour. E:60 aired an episode on Gunnar Esiason called, ‘Second Wind'. Gio watched it on Christmas eve when it aired live. We talked all about it. C-Lo returns for an update and gives us some examples of people who filled in for the sports minutes. One guy calls himself, ‘Sean Levine, the sports machine'. Chris McMonigle was furious with the Giants win over the Colts. Joe Benigno did not like Brian Costello's Jets article mentioning Matt Nagy as a potential head coach. C-Lo has a clip of Aaron Rodgers and Jeff Ulbrich and wonders which one is lying more. Joe Burrow talked about the Bengals letting great players leave the building. Boomer said the top coaching candidates will be Mike Vrabel and Ben Johnson. The Jets need a guy like Jon Gruden, Vrabel or Brian Flores according to Boomer. Ben Johnson's personality won't fit here and there's no way he would choose the Jets. In the final segment of the hour, congestion pricing goes into effect this coming Monday.

Hour 1 Boomer & Gio are back today after a long vacation. We are starting year 8 of Boomer & Gio. Boomer is sick of people saying, ‘my bad' when mistakes are made. We talked about the terror attack in New Orleans. Gio is ‘fully activated' with the Vikings playing the Lions Sunday night for the NFC North title and the number one seed. Boomer talked about the Giants future with Sam Darnold at QB and Brian Flores as the head coach, if they fire Brian Daboll. C-Lo is in for Jerry today and is here for his first update and starts with the Knicks win over Utah. Saquon Barkley will not play this week against the Giants and Saquon reacted to that. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about Brian Daboll's future with the Giants. Boomer said if the Falcons had hired Bill Belichick, they would be going to the Super Bowl. Hour 2 We were talking about the NFL and somehow got on Puka Nacua being unstoppable. We also talked about Tee Higgins and contracts for wide receivers. Boomer said Tee Higgins should sign elsewhere for more money and Davante Adams should go to the Bengals. Many Jets players were checked out during the Bills game from Sunday.
