Boomer & Gio

Today’s Boomer & Gio was dominated by heavy Knicks-Spurs Finals hype, breaking down Mitchell Robinson’s bizarre pinky injury, Mike Brown’s thoughts on stopping Wemby, and the sheer surrealness of New York finally playing for a ring. On the diamond, both local teams completed sweeps, highlighted by a mind-boggling, 13-run third inning from the Yankees. The guys rounded out the morning tackling the political fallout from college QB Jaxson Dart’s viral Trump rally intro, Odell Beckham Jr.’s rumored return to the Giants, and classic banter ranging from NYC squeegee guys to AI Dave Simms.

Good news for Mitchell Robinson as Mike Francesa knows the surgeon.
