It’s the same old Jets, so the fans of Gang Green should not really be surprised. After a 10-7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, a game where the Jets missed three field goals, the playoffs seem unlikely, just ask Rex Ryan. He admitted following the game that his team is not gonna make it and it's because of that, that Craig praised the rookie Head Coach. Dick Stockton called the game for Fox and had himself a pretty tough broadcast, which Craig was quick to point out. And Boomer and Craig were in agreement that the Jets problems extend much further than their young quarterback…Plus, some clever headline writing and a razor sharp update, more on Dick Stockton’s tough day in the booth, Craig’s Holiday surprise in the form of Joe Piscopo, C-Lo gets critiques and then destroys a wall, a Moment with Jerry followed by a blog spot, the guys handicap the Giants – Redskins game and an ‘Attention Grabber’ from Detroit…
Jets fans had to see it coming, after battling all the way back to a 7-6 record, the Jets let one get away yesterday afternoon at the Meadowlands and now need a lot of help to make it to the playoffs. Maybe too much help, because after the game Rex Ryan declared; that although he feels this group of players will eventually win a Super Bowl, they will not be making a post season appearance this year. Craig was pleasantly surprised by the Coach’s candor, considering the Jets are still mathematically alive. Dick Stockton called the game on Fox along with Charles Davis and he had a few colossal screw ups, which we heard over and over again. At a quick glance, it’s easy to place the burden of underachieving on the shoulders of Mark Sanchez, who has had his struggles in his first season in the league, but the guys agree that the vaunted defense and special teams need to be held just as accountable as the rookie signal caller…

Some clever headlines graced the back covers of the NY Post and the NY Daily News regarding the Jets heartbreaking loss and the guys talked about them, specifically the headline in the Daily News, ‘The Fat Man Sings’, obviously referring to the overweight Head Coach of the Jets. Jerry then delivered an update where he credited Craig for predicting a Dallas win in New Orleans Saturday night, which happened, as the Cowboys handed the Saints their first loss of the year. Craig was pleased because Jerry had the audio to prove it, but what he also had was the audio of Craig predicting a win for the Jets, which we know didn’t happen. Craigie was not very pleased with Jerry after that, but hey, ya’ gotta be fair…

In the open to the Big Program, Craig had a little fun with Dick Stockton for screwing up the score of the Falcons – Jets game numerous times, unfortunately for Mr. Stockton, Craig was not done. Now we all know that Dick is a veteran play-by-play announcer and he is very good at what he does, we’ll chalk up yesterday’s performance to him just having a bad day. Who really needs to be held accountable are the guys behind the scenes if you will. Craig outlined how they should have handled the situation following Dick’s first mistake. Let this be a lesson to you all on how to handle a crisis situation…

Craig was very excited to present Boomer with a little Christmas surprise in the form of a guest. So right before 8 o’clock, Craig’s surprise guest arrived and we all got to hear from actor/comedian, Joe Piscopo. Joe is a friend of Craig’s and was going to be in town today, so he invited him in to say hello and tell us what he is up to these days. He got things started by flexing the golden pipes with his rendition of ‘Silent Night’. Then he sang the praises of Boomer and Craig, which the guys seemed to enjoy. Check out Joe’s website by clicking here…

The guys mentioned last week that our boy Chris Loprestti, aka C-Lo, is leaving the Morning Show staff after 17 months of service to pursue a career behind the microphone, rather than behind the scenes. He aspires to be a sports update anchor and over the weekend he had an on-air shift here on the FAN. Well, Craig received an email from a listener with a critique of C-Lo’s performance, but with it being the Holiday season he was leaning towards not reading it on the air because it was less than flattering, so he didn’t. Instead Boomer did, the guys figured it would be a good thing for C-Lo to get used to being critiqued. Then C-Lo brought up the fact that the majority of the staff feels that Al Dukes would beat him in a running race, so during a break, the two colleagues had at it. When it was done, Al was declared the winner and C-Lo left his mark on WFAN…

Jerry had his Moment of the Day selection all done by 7am today, which turned out to be very unfortunate for Mr. Dick Stockton. You see today’s Moment occurred while the guys were breaking down the mishaps by the veteran play-by-play man, and there were more than one. Then I presented today’s extremely attractive ‘Attention Grabber’ in my highly informative Blog Spot…

With the Giants playing a must-win game against the Redskins tonight down in Washington, the guys handicapped tonight’s action on the gridiron and offered their picks against the spread. Boomer is calling the game on Westwood One and Craig and Al are tagging along as well, so they will do tomorrow’s show from DC and I'm sure they'll have plenty to say about the game…

See you all bright and early when we'll do it all over again, from 6am-10am on Sports Radio 66 WFAN, in New York...
I’ve heard it said, “life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” And after what we all saw yesterday, the same can be said of the NCAA Tournament. After only one day many of the biggest sports fans find they’re brackets already busted up worse than a high school girl’s face by acne...
After doing yesterday’s St. Patrick’s Day Show from Connolly’s Pub, the guys kept the ball rolling and found themselves on hand while Ivan Menezes, President and CEO of Diageo North America, rang the Closing Bell for the New York Stock Exchange yesterday afternoon. It’s good being Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton. It was also good being Joba Chamberlain yesterday, as he had his best performance of the spring and his role for the 2010 season is still uncertain. Another young pitcher with an uncertain future is Mets prospect Jenrry Mejia, who in some circles has been compared to Mariano Rivera. Boomer and Craig discussed how the 20 year old right hander should be handled and just pray the ‘Not So Amazin’ Mets don’t screw it up…Plus, Rocco shows fear and Jerry displays his skills, sex.com is for sale, the most unlucky manager in baseball, Jenrry Mejia’s entrance idea, an real life ‘Undercover Boss’, Greg Anthony breaks down the Madness, Olympic hero Julia Mancuso talks about posing for Playboy, Jerry delivers his Moment of the Day and a Blog Spot to update the B&C Tourney of Babes…
Get ready for what may be the shortest blog ever as I race to finish before the Bushmills makes me unable to type and so I can make it to the pub by noon. Now, Boomer and Carton have been hanging out at the Pub since 6 this morning. Connolly’s Pub on 47th street to be exact; where the boys did the show live for St. Patrick’s Day. As you might have guessed, the combination of Irish Pub + Boomer and Carton + St. Patrick's Day = One Crazy Show...
There was a coin flip to decide which New York football team, the Giants or the Jets, will get the honor of playing the first regular season game in the new home stadium that they will share. The Giants won the flip and will open up the new digs on the first Sunday of the regular season. The Jets will also play at home the first week, as they will open up Monday night, but Jets owner Woody Johnson is not happy that no one representing his organization was present at the time of the supposed flip. Craig isn’t thrilled either, I think it’s safe to say that neither Woody nor Craigie believe an actually coin flip actually took place and that the NFL wanted the Giants to open up the stadium. Boomer isn’t buying any foul play theories and he tried his best to get through to Craig. The guys did take a hiatus from the coin toss talk to update the audience on the Boomer & Carton Tourney of Babes, which has been a smashing success thus far…Plus, Jim Lampley’s Bang-Bang theory, a small ‘situation’, a lesson in coin flip manipulation, Boomer gets answers from the NFL for Craig, Gary Myers embarrasses himself, Craig’s dry humping days, we hear from Seth Davis, Boomer reminds Craig that he agreed to compete in a triathlon, an old friend from Craig’s past calls looking for help with her NCAA Bracket and a Moment in which we probably learned a little more than we needed to know…
The NCAA field is set and Boomer and Craig aren’t thrilled with their alma maters, Maryland for the Booms and Syracuse for Craigie, draw. They didn’t let that bother them for very long though, as they were too busy ogling the field of 64 that yours truly compiled for the 2nd Annual Boomer and Carton Tourney of Babes, we encourage you to vote early and vote often. Somehow they were able to refocus and deal with the business at hand, which was the news that Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan has undergone lap-band surgery to help him combat his weight problems. Boomer and Craig had different takes on the subject and Craigie complains about the stress he has in his life. More news from the Jets as they signed running back Ladainian Tomlinson over the weekend, to replace Thomas Jones…Plus, a caller refers to Craig as a selfish jerk and Jerry reports all of the sports news, a B&C Tourney of Babes breakdown, John Maine gets bombed and then explains why, Rex’s last supper and his quarterbacks new look, a common fantasy, Craig’s inner-doggie is unleashed, a Monday morning Moment with the Reckin’ Ball and a round of applause followed by yet another highly informative Blog Spot…
