Sunday could be the biggest game the Cowboys and Giants have ever played against each other and the feeling for both of these teams couldn't be more different. While many prognosticators are picking the Giants to win this game, the Giants are playing with house money. In a season where many thought the Giants weren't going to do anything, they made the playoffs and Coughlin and Eli got their first playoff win. This game, while an amazing opportunity is a bonus game for the Giants. On the other hand the pressure has to be on in Big D. The Cowboys coming off that disaster to the Seahawks in last year's playoffs haven't won a playoff game in 11 years, they're the number 1 seed and are expected to be in the Super Bowl. The Giants are going to be playing fast and loose while maybe the Cowboys are going to play tight. This morning, much like yesterday, Boomer & Carton had a stark disagreement over who's going to win this game.
Carton's Anti- Giants Rant
Carton is ticked off with Giants fans and rightly so. All year Carton has praised the Giants to no end and most of the time his enthusiasm has been met with skepticism and apathy from Giants fans calling in the show. Now, when Carton is just being honest because he doesn't think the Giants are going to win, Giant fans are killing him. So he's mad and here's a part of what he had to say about the Giants this morning:
"It is a LOCK. There's no way the Giants are going to win this game against the Cowboys. The Giants are coming off a win against Tampa Bay and they're acting like they beat the Patriots. On top of that they're talking a whole lot of smack. Osi Umenyiora saying the Cowboys aren't better then the Giants. Uh Osi, yes they are and if you were better this game would be a Giants Stadium where by the way, you stink."
Boomer's Pro Giants Rant
Boomer thinks Carton is all wrong. He thinks the Giants have what it takes on both the offensive and defensive sides of the football. On D Umenyiora and Strahan are going to get pressure on Tony Romo and on offense Boomer thinks Eli will continue his renaissance. Here's what Boomer had to say in defense of Big Blue:
"Have the Cowboys ever beat one team three times in one season? No. Has Tony Romo ever won a playoff game? No. Is Romo 100%? Maybe, maybe not. What about Terrell Owens? How well have the Cowboys played over the last month? Add that to the fact the Giants have won 8 games in a row on the road. They're playing with house money and they are going to play loose. That's why the Giants can win this game and are going to win this game."
So with both guys vehemently disagreeing how is this going to be settled? Well if the Giants win then Craig said he's going to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge in a Speedo and if the Cowboys win Boomer will let Craig onto his MSG show this coming week. Good luck to our competitors.
He said it was going to happen yesterday but it didn't. This morning Craig's promise that his new friend from the Knicks game, Padma Lakshmi, the host of Top Chef on Bravo, and a former girl of the week, called in:

Believe it or not but there are other games outside of the Cowboys-Giants game this weekend. Actually it should be a great NFL weekend as the four games will be hosted by four great franchises. Dan Dierdorf of CBS joined the guys to talk about Colts- Chargers:, while Joe Buck of FOX went around the league with the guys to end up, where else, on the Giants and Cowboys:
On the year Carton's 28-11-1 and 4-0 so far in the playoffs while Boomer is 19-20-1 on the year and is after the first round is 2-2 with his playoff picks. Everyone enjoy all the football this weekend and I'll see you on Monday morning.
Boomer and Craig were both tired of talking about Jose Reyes and his ailing thyroid, so today they revisited the age old debate of whether Joba Chamberlain is better suited to be a starting pitcher or a set-up man for Mariano Rivera. Craig issued a promise that this would be the last time they’d talk about the subject, which has been beaten like a drum here in New York, but considering Joba’s shaky performance yesterday against the Tigers, Craig had to get a few things off his chest…Plus, a complimentary Craig and an updating Jerry, New Jersey Nets big-wig Brett Yormark talks about today’s ground breaking ceremony in Brooklyn, Craig wants to talk about the Yanks over lunch with Mike and Al turns over a new leaf, Arlen Roth tries to play (guitar) his way onto the B&C softball team, USA Hockey Team hero Zach Parise, former NFL great Emmitt Smith, current broadcasting legend Marv Albert and a Moment worth reliving…
The St. Johns Red Storm got a big win in the opening round of the Big East Tournament over UCONN, Boomer called it a shining moment and Craig mocked his radio partner for his declaration. With that said, it was good to have the guys back from Ireland and things back to normal. From there the guys discussed Jose Reyes’ thyroid, which may or may not be a problem, depends who you listen too. The ‘Not So Amazin’ Mets medical staff is saying one thing and Reyes himself is singing a different tune. Boomer and Craig look at both sides and try and figure out what exactly is going on…Plus, bug eyes, ugly Irish woman and an update from the handsome Jerry Recco, what to do with breast milk, Eddie’s going to die and the guys want to celebrate before he goes, a childhood dream for middle-aged men across the country, the guys break down history’s most influential explorers, funny man Jeff Garland, Craig is still under the impression he can write a hit song, Jerry’s Moment of the Day, followed by an informative Blog Spot…
Boomer and Craig may be 5,000 miles away in Ireland (enjoying some Irish tea in this picture), but that still isn’t far enough to get away from all the drama surrounding the Mets. Luckily, the boys are visiting the emerald isle to see the Bushmills distillery, and there’s no better way to discuss the Mets problems then over some smooth Bushmills Irish Whiskey...
The NFL free-agent signing began at midnight and the Jets, who because of their playoff run are prohibited from signing any free-agents at this point, went the trade route and acquired talented, troubled and ‘potent’ cornerback, Antonio Cromartie from the San Diego Chargers in exchange for a 2011 Draft Pick. Cromartie is only 25 years old, which if you’re a Jets fan is good. In the world of parenthood though, 25 is a little young to have seven kids of his own, with six different women by the way. Boomer warns the Jets, buyer beware, Craig gives out a warning of his own to all of the women across the tri-state area…Plus, Craig fancies himself a song writer just as Jerry fancies himself an update anchor, Al’s mind is wandering, Craig gets a dose of reality regarding his song writing ability, an act of heroism is rewarded, Al’s reservation about going to Ireland, a podcast from Al that is sure to bore your socks off, some singing and laughing followed by Jerry’s Moment of the Day and a redemption Blog spot from yours truly…
With an uncapped year looming for the NFL and the free-agent signing period mere hours away (midnight tonight), the guys opened up today’s edition of the Boomer and Carton Morning Extravaganza talking about how this off-season might shape up for both the Jets and the Giants…Plus, Jerry does that thing he does, the guys break down last night’s American Idol, a controversial snow ‘figure’ (and what a figure), Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.com joins the program, Boomer talks about what it’s like to travel with Craig, Grant Clitsome is a fan favorite in Columbus, BREAKING NEWS regarding Jose Reyes, wrestling legend Hulk Hogan gives the guys a call, a juvenile Moment followed by a Blog Spot that got a little heated…
Everybody makes mistakes. For some people, like Carlos Beltran, that mistake is letting a Canadian Chiropractor linked to BALCO and HGH take blood out of you in your living room and injecting it back into your body. For Mr. Craig Carton, his mistake didn’t involve HGH, but it did involve another big H, HBO. Yes, it seems everybody in New York had some explaining to do this morning...
When I was in high school there was one girl that everybody wanted to go out with. She didn’t have an overly pretty face, or a crazy hot body, or even some incredible personality. However, she did have an un-commonly big chest. For years this was her bread and butter. Then one day this girl decided to get breast reduction surgery and that changed everything. The Mets should learn from this story: never mess with a good thing...
For the first time since the 1980 Olympics (or the Mighty Ducks movies) America has gone hockey crazy. All over the country sports fans are waking up this morning just a little bit sad and disappointed that team USA wasn’t able to grab gold, and some are even cursing our neighbors to the north. But rest assured sports fans, just like the hottest girl in high school after a few kids; hockey will be forgotten again before you know it...
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a bit of a blizzard slamming the tri-state area on this Friday morning. Don’t worry, neither sleet nor snow nor any other winter inconvenience could keep Boomer and Craig away. They braved the worst of the weather and came in excited and ready to go. Why were they so excited you ask? Duh, didn’t you hear? The Mets have a new slogan...
The United States hockey team earned a 2-0 win over Switzerland yesterday afternoon and Boomer is all fired up. Craig on the other hand, didn’t see a minute of the game, not by choice, he actually had a little interest in watching, but he couldn’t find which channel it was on. Derek Jeter spoke with the media yesterday for almost 40 minutes and didn’t really say anything earth shattering, but John Harper of the Daily News inked a column that caught the attention of Craig, so he let Harper have it…Plus, a ‘Situation’ we’d all like to be in, lessons in baseball history and geography bookend Jerry’s first update of the morning, Craig’s inner Hank Steinbrenner talks with the Captain about his contract, Sam Wyche compares Tim Tebow with the Blonde Bomber, Megan Glaros takes a break from not breast feeding to give us a forecast, former Rangers great Adam Graves makes an in-studio visit, an ungrateful Jerry Recco, a Moment that needs some clarification and a Blog Spot that gets a little heated...
