Boomer & Gio

The NFL kickoff headlines today's show as we break down the Seahawks’ victory over the Patriots, Sam Darnold’s early injury, Drew Lock stepping up in relief, and Drake Maye’s costly fourth-quarter interceptions. We react to post-game takes from Mike Macdonald, Mike Vrabel, and Cooper Kupp, address John Harbaugh’s frustration with Malik Nabers questions, and examine why the Rams are football's team to beat as the 49ers' window closes. On the diamond, high-scoring action from the Mets and Marlins tops football points, while George Lombard Jr.’s grand slam and Aaron Judge’s return power a Yankees win over the Rockies. Plus, we cover Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell’s cancer diagnosis and remember the late Barry Melrose.

The NFL season kicked off with the Seahawks beating the Patriots in a late-blooming fourth quarter, where Sam Darnold’s early injury proved the vital need for competent backup Drew Lock. Jerry's first update breaks down Drake Maye’s game-ending end-zone interception, alongside post-game takes from Mike Macdonald, Mike Vrabel, and Maye himself. Plus, George Lombard Jr. crushes a grand slam in a Yankees win over the Rockies, Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell reveals a cancer diagnosis, and we remember the late Barry Melrose. Finally, we look at why the Rams are football's Dodgers and if the 49ers' championship window is officially closing.

The Mets and Marlins outscore the Patriots-Seahawks game, before we debate whether New England "rolled" Sam Darnold on purpose. Next, a caller shares a 1980s Bengals helmet phone signed by Boomer, Jerry returns with sounds from Seattle’s win and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Brian Schottenheimer reveals the Cowboys' hydration-tracking urinals. Finally, Gio wonders if Boomer thinks AI will kill humanity—and why it would even want us dead.

We continue debating if AI will kill us all, recall yesterday's golf game with guys clearly on peptides, and take a call about Jalen Brunson hosting SNL. That leads into a discussion on Jessie James Decker’s implant reduction, Paige Spiranac, and Boomer assuming they were real. Jerry returns with sounds of Drake Maye’s three fourth-quarter interceptions in the Seahawks' win over the Patriots, followed by Cooper Kupp praising Drew Lock, Mike Vrabel addressing Maye's game-ending pick, and Sean McVay loving the bed-filled plane to Australia. Plus, George Lombard Jr. hits a grand slam and Aaron Judge collects two hits in a Yankees win, before wrapping with Gio zooming in on video of C-Mac smacking into an SNY camera.

Filmmaker Michael Gier joins the studio to discuss his documentary, The Heroism and Resiliency of 9/11, before Jerry's final update brings sounds of Drake Maye's game-sealing interception, Mike Macdonald on Sam Darnold and Drew Lock, Maye addressing his turnovers, and Chris Simms' critique. Next, John Harbaugh grows fed up with NY media questions about Malik Nabers, George Lombard Jr. hits the Yankees' first grand slam of the season, and the Moment of the Day questions a mysterious Buccaneers shirt. Finally, we wrap up with a video of a baseball radio play-by-play impression.
