Haven’t followed this but Boomer did a weekly call in for The Score in Chicago and I liked his segments. He was insightful and funny and believe me, I find very few of the former players entertaining at all.
🎉 I was lucky enough to witness Boomer's greatness during his college days at Maryland. I attended the Terps game against Wake Forest in 1983. It was a high scoring game and Boomer was sensational in leading Maryland to victory.
Love Boomer, and not just because I grew up a few miles north of him on Long Island....uh, sorry....Lawn Guylind! I didn''t even know he was a fellow New Yawkah until he played too briefly for the Jets, but I was a fan of his while he was in his prime with the Bengals. He's an easy interview because he has plenty to say and knows how to present himself, but still I have to reluctantly say that even Stugotz did a great job in this segment. I hope we will now see an interview by Stugotz of Patrick Beverley 🤭
@@MissLippy-fy6bj That's controversial? Whatever....Hey Boomer, go all Kyrie Irving, Curt Schilling or Harrison Butker, then tell us all how brave you are and how permissive and tolerant CBS is.
@@realtyranny3310 Yes it was controversial. Again I agree with Esiason but he did apologize for it because it was deemed inappropriate aka controversial.
Why not get rid of all announcers I tune in to watch the game not hours of drivial talk. Even during the game to many people talking nonsense. Boy how I miss summeral. Gifford. Gowdy. Ray Scott they actually let u watch the game
@@Paul-vf2wl great point! Jimmy Johnson remains on Fox. I think Boomer said on his radio show that the head of the network left and a new guy took over; plus Paramount is being sold. New guy could have wanted to set his own mark as the boss. I just think Matt Ryan has a reputation as being really boring. JJ is cool. Whatever.
Boomer had no right to mention Phil Simms not wanting to leave the CBS show. I have always thought that Boomer was jealous of Phil because of Simms' SB championships.
1st time seeing the show! Really like it! JUST 1 question...looking at the square who is the guy sleeping bottom left?? Why do you allow it? My wife Said he is awake. Nope he is sleeping cause eyes are closed.
amen---going back awhile, but you will never beat Brent Musberger, Irv Cross, Phyllis and Jimmy the Greek, the original NFL today! I liked Boomer for his honest commentary and charity work-as he mentioned he had a really good run at CBS-it just never worked out from the get go on MNF with Al and Dan....
Respect Boomer but the NFL has to keep fresh viewers. A lot of guys playing from the early and mid 2000s are now leaving the game so to keep familiarity it’s hard to still have guys from the 90s and 80s trying to talk and commentate like they left the game 3 years ago.
I agree somewhat. As an old-school dude that actually saw Boomer play back in the day, I understand new blood is needed. But regardless of familiarity, the former players have to be interesting and intriguing. Shaq and Barkley are very entertaining, and they haven't played in 20 years.
This guy , like Kenny Anderson should be in the NFL Hall of Fame , by now ! Most people do NOT know , he HOLDS the NFL records for yards & TDS for ALL [ LH ] QB"S , NOT Steve Young .
Boomer was good but shit happens it’s all about rating so they’re shaking things up , I do miss Phil Simms from the booth he was a great analyst good voice and flow
They replaced phil and boomer dam ..i mean it might have been time but the older guys loved to work i cant say that for the newer guys other than Strahan
My god I’ve listened to this dude and his cracked voice for 25-35 years sick of him retire dude let a new persons family man have a chance this is all about ego not money
Listen, they’re in their 60’s now. They’ll still work because it’s who they are, but it’s time to cut back and enjoy the family. They both had incredible runs; I loved listening to Phil call games because he was awesome at it. They were both really good NFL QB’s and legendary broadcasters. I wish the best for them and their families
Agree. Let some young bloods hungry for a chance come up and make a name for themselves. Too many boomers on the NFL shows hoarding jobs when they are already in their 60’s.
As a Browns fan who’s still upset Cowher never became their HC when they had the chance, I agree. Conspiracy Theory: they want SOMEONE on that panel with a ring. In fact, of all the former players at CBS, Cowher’s the only one with a ring. 🤪 😂
CBS sports are clueless... the dump Phil and Boomer. And Replace them with Matt the biggest superbowl QB choke . And Nate Burleson what did he do in the NFL? They are a Joke!!!
@jadap1789 And Nate Burleson that never did anything in the NFL and the biggest choke SB QB Matt Ryan are better.... stop smoking crack.. it's bad for your health
Probably because all the feedback they get back from people who watch is that this guy is out of touch with today's NFL. No one wants to hear "back in my day."
I use to like Boomer as a kid rooting for him & his Bengals until years later of learning he has racist tendencies. Am I sorry to see a man lose his job? The answer is yes. Am I sorry Boomer lost his job, I can say I feel either way because he always displayed a smug disrespectful undertone to his analysis being hyper critical of minority player actions oppose to the opposite from others. Good luck w/ his next destination. Hopefully, his tone will change if he isn’t aware of his tendencies cause I loved Boomer until he showed his character.
Racist tendencies? That is absolutely ridiculous and baseless. You need to grow up. He has never shown anything like that. Maybe a player was showboating or hot dogging and he shows his disdain for that but he’s simply an old school mentality.
Who watches this stuff anyways. As much as everyone talks about football every day on the tube, these guys are going to tell you something that no one else will? I think not
He liked the Raiders. Said that he and Al Davis talked about him joining the Raiders. Can’t remember when. Think it was Raiders or Jets and he decided NY cuz he’s from there.
I didn't mean to say token but he horrible Nate Burleson hire Shannon Sharpe he so good at what he does and he black I didn't mean to put down Nate Burleson but he terrible
Shannon Sharpe is not good in the studio shows like this. He’s a clown! Not good for that format. Nate is really good! He was able to jump to be a news anchor too. That’s impressive. It’s like Summerall doing play by play.
Boomer and Phil Simms were awful. Coach Cowher is horrific, as well. All of these boring white guys are long in the tooth. They add absolutely zero. Dan Marino and Howie Long....they all just mail it in. Can anyone remember a single insight they ever had? Me neither.
Cower has some kind of speech impediment, why the hell they hire clowns like this is beyond me?? So he was a coach, so what? That doesn’t mean he can discuss football on TV in a meaningful way? So many of these former coaches and players are really out of their element, it’s sickening to watch!!
Respect Boomer for all of his fund raising and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis.
Haven’t followed this but Boomer did a weekly call in for The Score in Chicago and I liked his segments. He was insightful and funny and believe me, I find very few of the former players entertaining at all.
He'll do a lot better and probably it on the podcast game than TV
Boomer is a great guy. Best QB in my life at U of Maryland. RIP Bob Avellini
What about Joe Smith? Joe Smith! Number 1 pick!
Class act. Will look to catch up with Boomer on the NFL in the fall - wherever he surfaces.

He’ll be fine. Good work on all the money he’s raised for charities
GAME DAY WITHOUT BOOMER SUCKS
Bill Cower is the one who should have been released--have absolutely no use for his comments
It’s about time. It will not be missed in the slightest.
Nobody talks about the former MVP like that! NOBODY!!!
"Nobody from CBS ever told me to back off with this kind of criticism..."
What did he ever say that was so controversial?
Players shouldn't miss games for their babies birth. I agreed with him.
@@MissLippy-fy6bj That's controversial? Whatever....Hey Boomer, go all Kyrie Irving, Curt Schilling or Harrison Butker, then tell us all how brave you are and how permissive and tolerant CBS is.

He is always a fence- sitter.
This is tv people. Your lucky to get what you get. Don't be bitter, be grateful for time you had!

AMEN Brother! Couldn't agree more.
Don’t forget the best, Madden.
I will miss you Boomer!!!
Would have preferred to see Cowher go
Or Sims
@@cdchouxsimms and boomer are gone. I’m surprised Boomer is gone and not also Cowher. I could have seen Boomer be the Terry Bradshaw for CBS.
Bill "'l'll tell you what"
Won't miss that someday.
@@HarrisonHollers I guess they want a coach on there the 2 new guys are JJ Watt and Matt Ryan
@@Paul-vf2wl great point! Jimmy Johnson remains on Fox. I think Boomer said on his radio show that the head of the network left and a new guy took over; plus Paramount is being sold.

Boomer is the best. Knows hockey like a beast.
Boomer didn’t sell out to the woke ideology. He’s a man of character and I knew Nate Burleson is the woke darling now
He had a good run at CBS .........most guys would not last 10 years in that position....
They don’t need that many analysts on the show. 2 max.
Boomer had no right to mention Phil Simms not wanting to leave the CBS show. I have always thought that Boomer was jealous of Phil because of Simms' SB championships.
He said it cause Phil won't
Boomer & Phil are super close friends
I always thought Phil was jealous of Boomer cause he knew he would whip his butt.
@@MissLippy-fy6bj aren't they both jersey guys lol
great job Boomer !! what you do ,you do it well !!
Boomer is a class act. Enjoy your weekends, you earned it.
He's been blessed more than most. It's time to let go .
I barely watch football and I couldn’t take him. He’s just not good. There should be more.
Shout out to the terp
1st time seeing the show! Really like it! JUST 1 question...looking at the square who is the guy sleeping bottom left?? Why do you allow it? My wife Said he is awake. Nope he is sleeping cause eyes are closed.
Nate Burleson has got to go And hey what ever happened to wearing dress shoes with your suit guys Respect the job Would not miss the Chin either

I liked Boomer for his honest commentary and charity work-as he mentioned he had a really good run at CBS-it just never worked out from the get go on MNF with Al and Dan....
Ok Boomer
New brooms sweep good but you need an old broom to sweep the corners
It never takes long for the bristles to fall off a new broom.
Of course he would open up! That is what he does.
Enjoy his takes. Hardest working man in NFL broadcasting.
I always thought he was the best on NFL today
Respect Boomer but the NFL has to keep fresh viewers. A lot of guys playing from the early and mid 2000s are now leaving the game so to keep familiarity it’s hard to still have guys from the 90s and 80s trying to talk and commentate like they left the game 3 years ago.

But regardless of familiarity, the former players have to be interesting and intriguing.
Shaq and Barkley are very entertaining, and they haven't played in 20 years.
Yeah agreed. JJ is great! Matt Ryan? Dudes boring. I’d prefer someone like Larry Fitzgerald - well respected and great presenter.
Yeah, they need to bring on those gay players who dress in skinny jeans and use pronouns to be in vogue with viewers.
Stu and Dan 20 years. 20 for Dan, 16ish for Stu....😁
I stopped watching pre game on the locals years ago. Prefer Rich Eisens show.
This guy , like Kenny Anderson should be in the NFL Hall of Fame , by now ! Most people do NOT know , he HOLDS the NFL records for yards & TDS for ALL [ LH ] QB"S , NOT Steve Young .
I'm saying this as a life long Bengals fan born in 79. Boomer falls short of the hall. Kenny though should get in.
Boomer was my favorite player. B in Maryland
Boomer was good but shit happens it’s all about rating so they’re shaking things up , I do miss Phil Simms from the booth he was a great analyst good voice and flow
Boomer is one of the sharpest, educated people in the media. I wish he would take another job if offered, which is very possible. But we love Boomer!
It was time for him to go
They already had one Phil Simms, and that's more than enough.
Phil joined after Boomer
They replaced phil and boomer dam ..i mean it might have been time but the older guys loved to work i cant say that for the newer guys other than Strahan
He was sooooo wrong about Flacco comeback.
I like Boomer on the morning radio show.
His voice is going
I still miss jimmy the Greek,Irv cross,Brent mussberger Phyliss George .
Fired by ABC and now CBS. Maybe he just isn't good.
Ya you’re right a 22 year run is really really bad. Maybe you just aren’t too smart. Actually there is no maybe. 🤡
@@brutusbarnabus8098 He blows, and he still hasn't apologized to Al Michaels.
He threw Phil under the bus in the first 4 minutes. (“He still wanted to be there.”) Boomer is NG.
No, the channels need to change it up every few years. Or every 20 years ..lol
You missed he had been there 20 years......he got the job done.....
And Fox still has terry on air...
My god I’ve listened to this dude and his cracked voice for 25-35 years sick of him retire dude let a new persons family man have a chance this is all about ego not money
Way too many guys on that CBS NFL desk….
He’s not the one they should of let
Go. Half of everyone else would of been great
Listen, they’re in their 60’s now. They’ll still work because it’s who they are, but it’s time to cut back and enjoy the family. They both had incredible runs; I loved listening to Phil call games because he was awesome at it.

I loved when Boomer would challenge Deion Sanders about his views on The NFL Today on CBS years ago. Deion didn't like that.
This should have happened years ago. And I'm a huge Terps fan. Not a big fan.
Dump Cower, he spits all over everything when he talks. Coach Cower, big deal!
As a Browns fan who’s still upset Cowher never became their HC when they had the chance, I agree.
Conspiracy Theory: they want SOMEONE on that panel with a ring. In fact, of all the former players at CBS, Cowher’s the only one with a ring. 🤪 😂
Loved Boomer comentary on cbs
I kind of liked Boomer Esiason as an announcer...
CBS sports are clueless... the dump Phil and Boomer. And Replace them with Matt the biggest superbowl QB choke . And Nate Burleson what did he do in the NFL? They are a Joke!!!
Phil and boomer suck
@jadap1789 And Nate Burleson that never did anything in the NFL and the biggest choke SB QB Matt Ryan are better.... stop smoking crack.. it's bad for your health
Probably because all the feedback they get back from people who watch is that this guy is out of touch with today's NFL. No one wants to hear "back in my day."
Ahhh they played for one lol wym🤣
pre and post game NFL shows are useless when there is 5 people and they each get 30 seconds to talk.

You know what I’m going to pretend I didn’t read that stupid comment you just made!

His take on Colin kaepernick
People don’t remember Boomer as a player, and his analysis has been subpar.
Anybody over 42 does.
@@MissLippy-fy6bj can we assume you are his wife?
@@Earthling247 no
I love Boomer he will be missed. RIP 😏Jokes aside Respect
Boomer sucked
Worm ate his brain. RFK
What is the big deal, he bought nothing to the table… can you say VANILLA…👎👎👎👎
You can say $@&$ my big fat *$#@!
Word !
He was all set to bag WFAN😂 Then immediately signs an extension, so transparent.
No way! He loves the radio gig more. He can still do everything he wants while working mornings. The studio gig is more restrictive.
Well I’m not watching anymore…
Who watches this stuff anyways. As much as everyone talks about football every day on the tube, these guys are going to tell you something that no one else will? I think not
East Islip
Get rid of JB and Cowher
I hate the halftime and post game shows. I don't need to see and hear talking heads to rehash what I just watched.
I don't mind halftime or post game shows. They have highlights. It's the pregame show that sucks.
who took his job ?
Class act
Iam a fox game day, CBS should kept simms, , coward, let boomer retire, Burleson should have been fired, Ryan , watt wouldn't be my choices
I mean he was on that show for 22 years after getting fired by ABC because he couldn’t get along with Al Michaels on Monday Night Football 😂
Lost respect for Simms because he refused to call the Washington Reskins by its name.
Not upset in the least he is gone....now get rid of Chris Simms
Don’t watch if u feel that way
@@freshfromflathat’s why they let him go, idk if you know this but ratings are important in sports.
he's on NBC right? Many media jobs going to fresher recent athletes, the old guard is getting shuffled off!
Get rid of Dan Marino and Howard Cossell too!
Yeah boomer was horrible
Younger what they want not old man
Sorry to hear Boomer. I assume it’s about money?
Raider hater got canned cant say im sad
He liked the Raiders. Said that he and Al Davis talked about him joining the Raiders. Can’t remember when. Think it was Raiders or Jets and he decided NY cuz he’s from there.
Out of touch. Time to go, respect for charity work
Funny he would mention mcafee
The could have booted a bunch others! Boomer actually was overshadowed by all the big egos.
vicodan head
Boomer is still making millions on his wfan simulcast
Nate Burleson only because he black they got have a token black guy I would hire Shannon Sharpe h😊😊e really good
I didn't mean to say token but he horrible Nate Burleson hire Shannon Sharpe he so good at what he does and he black I didn't mean to put down Nate Burleson but he terrible
Plus Shannon Sharpe better then anyone on that show bill cowhler horrible to
CBS already let Shannon Sharpe go once. They let him and Dan Marino go around same time.
Shannon Sharpe is not good in the studio shows like this. He’s a clown! Not good for that format. Nate is really good! He was able to jump to be a news anchor too. That’s impressive. It’s like Summerall doing play by play.
@@HarrisonHollerssounds like someone forgot the T. Gonzalez era that followed after SS was fired.

From Day 1 Boomer Has Been an Absolute BORE A THON
Find your balls and tell him that to his face.

He was let go because hes boring, 0 personality, 0 sense of humor. He sucks. Time for someone new, out with the old, in with the new. Lmfao 🤣😆😊
Said Nobody.
he got pushed out and he hates it
