On this episode of A Must Win Game with Maggie Gray, Maggie takes on the latest NFL storylines, makes a bold Minnesota Vikings playoff prediction, and welcomes St. Louis Cardinals host and reporter Dani Wexelman for an inside look at Major League Baseball. First, Maggie breaks down the dysfunction surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders after veteran stars Maxx Crosby and Kirk Cousins got into a training camp scuffle that resulted in both players being suspended. These are established NFL veterans who know better—but what does this kind of chaos say about the Raiders organization? More importantly, how could a dysfunctional Raiders franchise affect the development of future quarterback Fernando Mendoza?

McCarthy, Maggie argues that the quarterback competition may have been one of the easiest of Murray's career. But could Minnesota be the perfect environment for Murray to resurrect his NFL career?

One of the NBA's most respected insiders joins A Must-Win Game this week as veteran NBA reporter Marc Stein sits down with Maggie Gray for an in-depth conversation about the biggest storylines shaping the league. We begin with the biggest question in basketball: Where will LeBron James finish his career? Marc Stein breaks down LeBron's free agency, the teams pursuing him, and why one of the biggest surprises is that LeBron appears willing to consider destinations in the Western Conference. We also discuss whether the New York Knicks are a realistic possibility and examine the central question surrounding his decision: Is this about winning another championship, protecting his legacy, or creating opportunities beyond basketball? Next, we turn to the Los Angeles Lakers, where Luka Dončić has become the franchise centerpiece. After investing heavily in Walker Kessler and committing major money to Austin Reaves, are the Lakers legitimate championship contenders, or do they still have critical holes to fill? Marc explains what Los Angeles still needs if it hopes to compete for another NBA title. We also dive into one of the offseason's most shocking moves: Jaylen Brown's trade from the Boston Celtics to the Philadelphia 76ers. Why did Boston make the deal when it did? Why send a franchise cornerstone to an Eastern Conference rival? And what questions still haven't been answered about the Celtics' long-term vision? Finally, we rank the NBA figures facing the most pressure entering next season. From Ja Morant trying to reestablish himself as one of the league's elite guards, to Victor Wembanyama carrying enormous expectations, to Jaylen Brown beginning a new chapter in Philadelphia, Giannis Antetokounmpo chasing another title, and Brad Stevens defending one of the most scrutinized front-office decisions in recent memory, we debate who has the most at stake. If you're an NBA fan who loves insider reporting, free agency news, trade analysis, roster building, and championship debates, this episode is for you.

Hour 1 Boomer and Phil Simms hosted, discussing Justin Fields' toe injury (out for preseason but good for the season start). Phil praised Tyrod Taylor as a backup. C-Lo updated on Fields and Malik Nabers' toe injury. They also covered the Giants' QB situation with Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart, Dak Prescott's Super Bowl aspirations, and their excitement for Michael Penix and the Falcons. Phil believes Kirk Cousins won't be traded due to the need for a good backup. The Mets and Yankees were off. The hour concluded with Phil's podcast with his son Matt and listener calls about meeting Phil.

C-Lo returns, and Simms reveals he's left-handed except for throwing. Aaron Glenn praised Tyrod Taylor. Boomer recalled hating players who stepped on his toes, referencing Justin Fields and Malik Nabers' toe issues. Maggie Gray questions BBLs for athletes. The hour ends with a caller's query about sumo wrestlers on the offensive line. Hour 3 Boomer & Phil Simms discuss QB dedication and the Giants' interest in Jaxson Dart. Phil believes Arch Manning and Nick Saban to the Browns rumors make sense. C-Lo shares Aaron Glenn on social media after Justin Fields' injury. Brian Daboll downplays Dart's pick-6 as practice and discusses the offensive line "ad nauseam." Brandon Tierney rants about the Yankees. Boomer recounts Phil's Vegas incidents: walking into a glass door and losing/finding a tooth. Hour 4 Phil Simms assessed NFL coaches and QBs, including McDaniel/Tagovailoa and Tomlin/Rodgers.

Moment of the Day: Anthony in Belleville's 'oh my gosh' to Simms. Simms shared his top college QBs.

Jerry's update included sound bites from Thibs and players, along with highlights from the Mets' win (Alonso homer) and the Yankees' victory (Rice homer, Rodon's strong outing). Boomer seems to believe the AL East race is "over." Terry Bradshaw reiterated his stance against Aaron Rodgers joining the Steelers for one year. The segment concluded with a humorous anecdote about Maggie Gray mistaking an impersonator for Sammy Hagar, and a caller suggesting the Knicks bring back Charles Oakley to change their "mojo."
Hour 1 The Knicks are down 3-1, leading Gio to declare the series over, though Boomer holds out until the Pacers win their fourth. Boomer noted the Knicks' best defensive players "got torched," highlighting the team's inconsistency. The Knicks face elimination at home, a place they haven't played well. In other sports, the Yankees beat the Angels, and the Mets defeated the White Sox. Oddly, Brandon Nimmo made a baserunning blunder. Off the field, Terry Bradshaw weighed in on Aaron Rodgers, and Tyreek Hill had a blunt take on Travis Hunter. The hour ended with Knicks fans calling in, one suggesting Thibs be fired. Hour 2 Larry Johnson showed no nostalgia for his famous 4-point ball when asked. The conversation shifted back to the Knicks' lack of identity and inconsistent play.

Some fans, however, see the loss as part of the Knicks' natural progression. Jerry predicted a Knicks win in the next game, while the Pacers coach discussed the playoff back-and-forth. In baseball, the Mets defeated the White Sox, marked by a confusing baserunning play from Brandon Nimmo, and the Yankees held off the Angels despite a shaky ninth inning from Devin Williams. The hour concluded with a discussion about dog dancing. Hour 4 Frustrated Knicks fans called in after the team's loss in Indiana, with one expressing dislike for Karl-Anthony Towns and another questioning why the series is being discussed as if it's over.

In baseball, the Yankees beat the Angels with homers from Rice and Peraza, while the Mets scored four in the first against the White Sox. Ohtani already has 20 home runs. Terry Bradshaw called the idea of Aaron Rodgers joining the Steelers "a joke," suggesting he "chew on bark" in California. Tyreek Hill bluntly dismissed Travis Hunter as "gonna be ass." The "Moment of The Day" featured Boomer not paying attention during an update. The hour concluded with the sentiment that Tyrese Haliburton's dominant performance sealed the Knicks' fate, noting the only playoff game where the Knicks felt in control was Game 6 against Boston.

They discuss the book's themes, character representations, and critiques of stereotypes, while also analyzing the plot structure and character dynamics.

We are enjoying the holiday biscotti that Maggie Gray brought. It was closed with a clothespin and Gio wondered why people put clothespins on their nipples. There are rumors that Sayville is a ‘swingin' town' and Boomer wonders how that works. There's another article saying Kylie Kelce's podcast passed Joe Rogan's which can't possibly be true. Are the Swifties eating all this Kylie Kelce stuff? We also talked about the current situation with the drones and orbs and how Al thinks they are UFO related orbs babysitting us so we don't get into a nuclear war. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Chargers beating the Broncos and they had a rare ‘free kick' play. Yesterday even Final Jeopardy took a shot at the Jets. KAT had a great game as the Knicks beat the T-Wolves in his return to Minnesota. Cody Bellinger met the media as the newest Yankee. Freddie Kitchens talked about North Carolina and how everybody should want to go there with Bill Belichick.

In the final segment of the hour, we have audio from Brett in Long Island annoying the crap out of Brian Rascona on the overnight show. Hour 2 Boomer doesn't want the Jets to go after Jon Gruden now because he loves what he's doing at Barstool. We talked more about the article in the Athletic about the Jets and Woody Johnson. There have been so many players and coaches in and out of here over the last few years that could be the sources for these stories. Anthony in Belleville wants Netflix to do the Roast of Boomer Esiason. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of Jon Gruden on Bussin' With The Boys and talks about creating plays when he was on Mike Holmgren's staff and competing with Andy Reid to get their plays called on the field. Garrett Wilson was asked if he wants to stay with the Jets long term and he said he didn't know but he does love being a Jet. KAT had a great game in Minnesota as the Knicks beat the T-Wolves. In the final segment of the hour, Tom Izzo brought us gifts but we're pretty sure there's weed in it so we will have to bring it home. Hour 3 We are enjoying the holiday biscotti that Maggie Gray brought. It was closed with a clothespin and Gio wondered why people put clothespins on their nipples. There are rumors that Sayville is a ‘swingin' town' and Boomer wonders how that works. There's another article saying Kylie Kelce's podcast passed Joe Rogan's which can't possibly be true.

In the final segment of the hour, Gio brings a shirtless mirror selfie tweet of Pat Boyle's to Boomer's attention. Gio wonders if we have to distance ourselves from Pat and thinks BT's personality rubbed off on him when they worked together for a few months. Boomer likes that Pat is a confident young man but Gio fears he's regressing.
Hour 1 The Yankees and Mets are back in action tonight and despite the Microsoft cloud crash wreaking havoc around the world and our building it's still a Feel Good Friday. How will the Mets handle Pete Alonso and will they buy before the trade deadline? Steve Cohen was to chase “autumn glory” but will David Stearns pivot that far from his plan? Boomer and Gio can't remember any team that has actively talked about buying as much as the Mets players have the last few weeks. The Yankees need to get their season back on track against a tough schedule. Eddie explains the CrowdStrike tech issue affecting us as well as the rest of the world. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and begins with Pete Alonso's excitement to start the second half of the season. MLB released the 2025 schedule and the Yankees will visit the Mets on 4th of July weekend. Jerry has a clip of a minor league broadcaster remaining unfazed when a foul ball came into the booth. It reminded him of John Sterling getting hit by one last year. Boomer would like to see that happen when Craig calls a Yankee series next month. Derek Carr said he almost signed with the Jets last year because he's a big fan of Robert Saleh. Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ionescu declined to participate in the 3-point contest. Gio says they made a poor choice. In the final segment of the hour, Gio says that he thinks the Yankees will still win the AL East but wonders if Hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman will be aggressive at the trade deadline. They have to be all-in. What starter among the trio of Nestor Cortes, Marcus Stroman and Carlos Rodon can be trusted the most? Hour 2 Boomer shares the Bengals Ring of Honor inductees. There's optimism surrounding the Jets. Not so much for the Giants, who only have a Vegas wins total of 6.5. The Jets number is 9.5. Gio asks Boomer if he knows the Puma. Jerry returns for an update and begins with Shaun Morash saying Chuck E Cheese pizza is better than the best Manhattan has to offer.

Terrell Owens said Tom Brady ghosted him. In the final segment of the hour, callers try to sell Gio on Delaware. Hour 3 A guest to the radio station was on the field for Monday night's national anthem performance at the HR Derby so Gio discusses all of the fallout for Ingrid Andress. We hear from a caller who golfed with Peter Schwartz's sons last night. Jerry returns for an update and tells us Maggie Gray is stuck at the airport due to the cyber crash impacting the world.

In the final segment of the hour, Gio brings a shirtless mirror selfie tweet of Pat Boyle's to Boomer's attention. Gio wonders if we have to distance ourselves from Pat and thinks BT's personality rubbed off on him when they worked together for a few months. Boomer likes that Pat is a confident young man but Gio fears he's regressing. Hour 4 Gio has us make official Yankees and Mets predictions now that the second half is starting. Boomer and Gio think the Yankees will win the division while Eddie does not. Boomer and Eddie think the Mets will make the playoffs while Gio does not. Nobody thinks Pete Alonso will get traded. Boomer says the Yankees will make the ALCS but Gio and Eddie say they will not. Boomer and Gio don't think the Yankees will fire Aaron Boone regardless of how the playoffs go but Eddie thinks Boone and Brian Cashman will be out. Someone around the office has been stealing items from offices and desks. Jerry returns for his final update of the day but first, Boomer wonders if people in the building who hadn't been around recently could be responsible for the recent theft. We remember Boomer's incident with taking a drink and not paying at a sister station a few years ago. Gio recaps an amazing episode of Dateline. Keith McPherson chimed in on the Pat Boyle / Shaun Morash / Tiki Barber race debate and Gio thinks Tiki would come in third in a race against Keith and Pat. Marc Malusis comes in the studio with some items he “found” around the office. The Moment of The Day involves imagining an interaction between Suzyn and Craig in the Yankees broadcast booth. In the final segment of the day, Gio and Boomer talk searching for golf balls and the Mets schedule release video. Were the Mets referencing Shohei Ohtani's gambling scandal or his massive contract?
Hour 1 The Mets beat the Yankees again last night and got back to .500. The offense has come to life and Boomer called Francisco Alvarez the ‘cog' for the team. The Yankees are still in first place, they still have 52 wins. Gleyber Torres was benched last night and it wasn't for an injury. It will be really interesting to see what the Mets and Yankees do at the trade deadline. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Mets beating the Yankees. Alvarez hit an opposite field 3-run HR. The Mets are 15-4 in their last 19 games. Luis Gil said, ‘that's how it goes' with good moments and bad moments. OG Anunoby is coming back to the Knicks. Chris Russo didn't think the Mikal Bridges trade was a big deal. We compared the sound of an elephant snoring to Eddie snoring. Jerry has audio from last night's NBA draft. In the final segment of the hour, Gio loves this song, ‘Million Dollar Baby' by Tommy Richman. Down the hall, Maggie Gray is eating tuna fish jello because she lost a bet. Hour 2 We started the hour with the Knicks and OG Anunoby signing a new deal with the Knicks. We also talked about Jalen Brunson and the Knicks going forward. Leon Rose's daughter dropped hints about the Mikal Bridges trade on social media before it went down. Gio doesn't think the Knicks will be able to sign Isaiah Hartenstein. Gio said you cannot count on Mitchell Robinson to stay healthy next season. Boomer said this has been the best Knicks offseason in 20 years or more. Jerry returns for an update and has the sounds from last night's Mets win over the Yankees. Alvarez and Vientos have been the key to the Mets resurgence. Jerry said Aaron Judge is the best player he's ever seen. Shohei Ohtani homered and now has an RBI in 10 straight games, a Dodgers franchise record. Jerry plays, ‘What The Hell is That?' In the final segment of the hour, Gio said the next big star is a female Chinese basketball player. Her name is Zhang Ziyu and she is 7'3” but only 17 years old. Hour 3 Boomer wonders how many different species of woodpeckers there are. Gio said woodpeckers are being studied for concussions in people. Gio wonders what Joe Benigno's cats are thinking. We talked about Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez. A caller thinks Boomer compared him to Johnny Bench. He did not. We compared Boomer's popularity in Cincinnati to great players on the Reds.
