With the All-Star Break behind us, it's time to get back to basics...For Mets ownership it's about recovering losses, as a report in today's NY Post estimates the Wilpon's losses to be close to $700 Million...OUCH...And the guys spend a night in Brooklyn calling a Cyclones game...Plus, a no-hitter prediction from Boom, waiting for a car with Al Dukes and speed bumps on the parkway, all of this before Jerry Recco's first update of the day, a failed drug test gone good, a peace offering of sorts, the 2nd half outlook for the Bombers, Richard Jefferson gets cold feet, the Super Hot Shannon Elizabeth talks about her new show 'Live Nude Comedy' on Showtime and a Moment where Boomer shows his range...
There have been rumblings that Mets ownership lost a bundle in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi Scheme. Speculation has run wild that because of their losses, they have been forced to curtail spending, hence why Manny Ramirez, Orlando Hudson or Derek Lowe are not part of the club. Well a story in the NY Post's Page Six today says that Larry King, a long-time friend of the Wilpon's, told GQ Magazine that the losses the Wilpon's suffered are upwards of $700 Million...Oh Boy...If this is true, sounds to me that Mets fans should be happy they have balls to use during batting practice. Either way, Boomer and Craig didn't care much for the tact that King chose, talking about other people's money. On a lighter note, Boomer and Craig discussed their great night at Key Span Park calling the Brooklyn Cyclone game...
Oliver Perez is making the start tonight in Atlanta for the Mets, opposite Derek Lowe and the Braves and needless to say Craig is not ultra-confident in his ball clubs chances. Boomer, as always played the role of the optimist this morning, suggesting to Craigie that Perez could very well go out there and pitch the Mets first ever no-hitter. Judging by his recent track record, a no-hitter doesn't seem too likely for Oli P, so unlikely that Craig said he would do something unusual to Boomer...From there Craigie told the story of he and Al Dukes waiting for a car service last night in Brooklyn and Boomer talked about some poorly placed speed bumps on the parkway. This all took place prior to Jerry Recco's first sports update of the program...
It seems with all of the media coverage nowadays there are more stories focusing on the negative, as opposed to the positive. This next story kind of falls somewhere in between. It's regarding a professional tennis player named Richard Gasquet who failed a drug test for cocaine, so there you have the negative angle. Then the story takes an unexpected turn, no I'm not going to tell you about suspension or a ban, nope, you see the 23 year old Gasquet received no punishment. His excuse was that he was spending some time with a stripper of questionable character and believes the drug was transferred to him through heavy kissing. And here's the best part, the 'powers that be' bought it...
A regular caller to the FAN, Lisa from Whitestone called the boys this morning. Lisa used to be a regular caller to the Boomer and Carton Morning Extravaganza, but after a falling out with Craigie, we haven't heard from here in quite some time. With that said, Craig was a little surprised to see her name and more surprised when she admitted her wrong doings and offered an apology to the guys, specifically Craigie Boy, who by the way ate it up...
After dropping three straight in Anaheim to the Angels to close out the first half, the Yanks look to get back to their winning ways when they welcome the Tigers to the Bronx tomorrow night. The Bombers are currently in 2nd place in the AL East, trailing the Red Sox by 3 games. Boomer and Craig outlined what we should expect from Joe Girardi's gang during the second half of the season...
The guys went on an expedition of sorts this morning, searching for the dying breed of Yankee fans who beleieve the Bombers have to get right handed 'Ace' Roy Halladay. While the guys were discussing embarking on this journey, they talked about some other famous explorers and some experiences they had on their expeditions...
Former New Jersey Nets forward Richard Jefferson was supposed to get married over the weekend to a former Nets Dancer, Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols. The two planned to have the ceremony right here in NYC. One problem, Jefferson started having second thoughts. Maybe it was the stress of relocating to San Antonio (Jefferson was recently traded to the Spurs from the Milwaukee Bucks) but whatever his reasons may be, he didn't handle the situation very well, as he let the lovely Miss Nichols know via email. Furthermore, he didn't even bother to tell any of his guests, including his wedding party...
(Here is a photograph of Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols without Jefferson...)
Way to think things through Richard...And HELLOOOOO to the recently single Kesha!!!!!!!
A little Thursday morning treat for all, as the smokin' hot Shannon Elizabeth joined the program. You may remember her from her role in the movie 'American Pie' I mean let's be honest if you saw the movie you'll never forget her...HELOOOOO...Today she was promoting her new show on Showtime called 'Live Nude Comedy.' Certainly a catchy title, I know my interest has been sparked. Did I mention she was in the movie 'American Pie'???...
WOWSERS!!!! I think I may go home and watch American Pie today...
Finally we get to Jerry Recco's highly anticipated Moment of the Day. Jerry selected a Moment of Boomer complaining about running over speed bumps on the Belt Parkway. If you've ever wondered what that might sound like, then this is certainly a Moment for you...
The Super Party is super over. If you’re lucky you made a few bucks and were able to eat 25 wings without much indigestion. If you were un-lucky, you lost a few grand or lost some dignity like I did when I fell asleep in the third quarter after drinking only 2 Negra Modelos. No matter how your super Sunday went, Football season’s over. Put away the chips, clean out the guacamole...
The last time I watched a pro sports Championship was about 3 months ago. We were at my buddy’s house, and as the 9th inning began we were giddy with excitement as number 27 was within our grasp. Then suddenly as the great Mariano took the mound, my buddies Grandma burst into the living room and demanded we all leave because she had to go to the bathroom. 3 months later, I hope my Super Bowl is much better...
Football fights, that’s the theme of today’s program. Osi Umenyiora may be trying to fight his way off the Giants after telling Joe and Evan he’d rather retire than be benched again. Of course, as Craig said, the best way to avoid being benched might be to just play better. Meanwhile, Boomer and Craig wonder if Rex Ryan should fight to get out of his fine...
I’ve been told by many girls that I have Russian hands and Roman fingers. Rex Ryan, well he just has expensive fingers. While I’m sure Rex wishes he had my talented dexterity, he’s probably more concerned that one little finger just cost him 50,000 big ones. Yes, for one little finger the Jets went ahead and fined the Rex man...
It’s Groundhog Day, and what better way to celebrate than by dragging one of New York’s favorite rats out of his hole. Isiah Thomas himself joined Boomer and Craig this morning in the most comprehensive interview he’s done since coaching the Knicks and overdosing on sleeping pills...
