Boomer and Gio close out the week by locking in their Week 11 NFL picks. Gio tries to rebound after a brutal stretch, Boomer looks for separation, and the guys run through the matchups with their usual mix of instincts, arguments, gut feelings, and chaos.

The Patriots push their streak to eight straight over the Jets, and Drake Maye looks completely in command. Boomer and Gio compare that stability to what the Giants need with Jaxson Dart and why pairing him with the right head coach is everything. Gio also makes it clear the Jets should stop running Justin Fields out there and turn to Tyrod Taylor if they want any shot at functioning on offense the rest of the season.

Jerry updates the latest quarterback shuffle as Brock Purdy gets set to return for the Niners, shutting down any speculation about Mac Jones stepping in. The guys react to Purdy’s comments, what his return means for San Francisco’s rhythm, and why Jones never really had a chance to make this a conversation.

Gio explains how he suddenly fell down a rabbit hole reading about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. From ship logs to documentaries to late night deep dives, he breaks down why this historic tragedy has become his latest fascination and jokes that this is exactly what happens to men as they get older. Boomer reacts as Gio details how he got hooked and why it’s now dominating his free time.

The guys break down what ownership wants, how the locker room factors in, and why the right personality matters as much as the résumé.

Jerry kicks off his first update with the sounds of the Patriots beating the Jets, followed by Willie Colon declaring that Justin Fields simply isn’t an NFL quarterback. Shane Bowen reacts to Brian Daboll’s firing and looks ahead to the Packers. Aaron Judge takes home the A.L. MVP, Ohtani grabs the N.L. version, and Scott Boras is already selling the world on Cody Bellinger at the winter meetings. Boomer and Gio then marvel at Islanders rookie Matthew Schaefer being born the same year Boomer started at WFAN.

The Jets lost again last night, and Boomer & Gio break down why they simply cannot keep putting Justin Fields on the field. After a sharp opening touchdown drive, Fields unraveled and so did the offense and the guys explain how that kills any hope of winning games or building a real culture. Boomer details what he’s seeing on tape, Gio vents about the mixed messages coming from inside the building, and the guys try to answer the big question: What exactly are the Jets trying to accomplish the rest of this season?
