Hour 1

Boomer slept through the snooze part of his alarm and just made it at the start of the show. We will be golfing today and switching hotels. Boomer wants to make sure we’re all good to go to head right to the airport after Monday morning’s show. Gio said hookers are indigenous to Nevada. Gio and Jerry played gold ‘in the middle of squalor’. There were walls and barbed wires surrounding the course to keep the riff raff out. Gio and Jerry got into an Uber that looked like it had just been in an accident. Trevor Lawrence was at the Boomer Breitling event last night. Gio said Trevor has, ‘a lady face’. Woody Johnson said the Jets didn’t have a backup quarterback last year. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and wonders why Boomer is fascinated with his pants. The Knicks were a mash unit last night and struggled with the Mavericks. In the final segment of the hour, a few weeks ago news came out that Sports Illustrated was out of business and everyone was fired. But yesterday Brittany MAHOMES was named a Sports Illustrated rookie swimsuit model. Danny Amendola was walking by so we had him sit down with us. 

Hour 2

Gio said he’s not a good sports gambler because he’s too emotional. Gio wants to pick a team to really root for since we will be at the game. Larry Csonka will be doing the coin flip. Eddie went hiking by himself yesterday and fell down and was bleeding. Luckily, he was not eaten by coyotes. Jerry returns for an update and starts with sound from the NFL Honors, where Keegan Michael Key was host. Tommy DeVito also made an appearance and acted out the ‘funny how’ scene from Goodfellas. Lamar Jackson won the MVP. Jerry said CJ Stroud lied when he told kids they could do anything they want in life. We wondered if Eddie died hiking, what news sources would cover it. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the NFL players that were announced as Hall of Fame inductees. Boomer loves the QB matchup for the Super Bowl: Patrick MAHOMES, in the middle of a dynasty, vs Brock Purdy, the last pick in the draft. 

Hour 3

Gio said when they get back to New York, he and Boomer are going to have to do a colon cleanse. Boomer was eating chili on a golf course at one point. There’s more golf today and CBS Sports Network producer Stephen Waldron is joining us today. Tonight is Super Bowl’s Greatest Commercials on CBS. The NFL Today guys were on Jeopardy again as a tie in with the Super Bowl. Jerry is here for an update and starts with Woody Johnson talking about the disappointing Jets season. Jerry Jones talked about the Cowboys letting the fans down against Green Bay. Tony ROMO was trying to put a positive spin on the Cowboys and then Stephen A. Smith was screaming about it. Gio said Stephen A. Smith is an actor, and he’s very good at it. Deion Sanders is impressed by Brock Purdy. Boomer ran into Warren Sapp yesterday and asked him about joining Deion on the Colorado staff. Baker Mayfield was on with Kay Adams and sort of confirmed he’ll be back with Tampa, albeit on a ‘hot mic’ and not on air. Danielle McCarten is here and she asked Travis KELCE to finish the Taylor Swift song lyric. Jerry wonders what this sound is (it’s probably a fart). Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson have a new podcast called, ‘Roommates’, and Jerry has clips. In the final segment of the hour, Dua Lipa was on with Jimmy Kimmel last night, which means she was not in New York, which means the WNEW hosts lied to us. Gio knows where Dua Lipa is at all times, so he knew she was not going to be in NYC. 

Hour 4

Gary Vee joins us on location from Vegas. Boomer said he’s a very positive person, the opposite of everyone Boomer works with on the show. Gary said he’s positive in all aspects of life except for the Jets. Gary thinks Super Bowl commercials are actually underpriced because people watch the game to also watch the commercials. We talked to Gary about Bud Light’s controversy and how they’re trying to get their audience back. Gary talked about eliminating friction for consumers when buying things. Gary likes that the Jets are underdogs now, as opposed to last year when everyone had them going to the Super Bowl. Gary said, ‘the Giants stink’. He also hates Steelers fans. Gary also talked about the importance of using Linkedin properly to get yourself the job you want. Jerry is here for his final update of the week and started with the Knicks/Mavericks from last night. Woody Johnson talked about the disappointing Jets season. He also said the defense was pretty good and would be better, ‘if our offense could do something’. The Moment of The Day involves a fart sound in a locker room. In the final segment of the week, it’s our Super Bowl picks! Niners are -2.5 and Boomer is taking the Chiefs 30-27, Gio is taking the Chiefs 27-21 and Jerry is taking the Chiefs with Pacheco as the Super Bowl MVP (a Rutgers kiss up by Jerry). Jerry likes the Chiefs 19-10.

Danny Amendola interview winds down. Gio said he’s not a good sports gambler because he’s too emotional. Gio wants to pick a team to really root for since we will be at the game. Larry Csonka will be doing the coin flip. Eddie went hiking by himself yesterday and fell down and was bleeding. Luckily, he was not eaten by coyotes. Jerry returns for an update and starts with sound from the NFL Honors, where Keegan Michael Key was host. Tommy DeVito also made an appearance and acted out the ‘funny how’ scene from Goodfellas. Lamar Jackson won the MVP. Jerry said CJ Stroud lied when he told kids they could do anything they want in life. We wondered if Eddie died hiking, what news sources would cover it. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the NFL players that were announced as Hall of Fame inductees. Boomer loves the QB matchup for the Super Bowl: Patrick MAHOMES, in the middle of a dynasty, vs Brock Purdy, the last pick in the draft.

We talked about the NFL players that were announced as Hall of Fame inductees.

Dan Bernstein and Laurence Holmes were joined by ESPN analyst Matt Bowen to discuss the Chiefs-49ers matchup in the Super Bowl and Bears icons Steve McMichael, Devin Hester and Julius Peppers reportedly making the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Hour 1

We are live from Vegas for Super Bowl week. Bad news for the Knicks as Jalen Brunson turned his right ankle late in the game last night against the Grizzlies. Kyrie was asked by a fan last night in Brooklyn why he didn’t play this way with the Nets and he blamed Mayor Adams. Boomer loved that he took a shot at the Mayor as he has no control of the city. Gio said Kyrie did a lot of strange things in his tenure with the Nets that had nothing to do with the Mayor and the vaccines. Gio said he also got suspended for being an anti semite, are we forgetting about that? Randy Moss tweeted, ‘Someone got Moss’d’ after Al confused the Hall of Famer with horse racing broadcaster, Randy Moss. That was the big Super Bowl story from Tuesday. Eddie walked to UNLV to get a t-shirt yesterday. It was a 6 mile round trip. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with Rutgers beating Maryland, so Boomer owes Jerry $1,000 cash. If Maryland won, Jerry would have had to eat a gummy. We heard from Chris Carlin on the call. Boomer, Gio and Jerry are golfing today and it’s going to be cold. The Knicks beat the Grizzlies but we hear the play by play of when Jalen Brunson injured his ankle. Boomer thinks Mike Breen is doing more Knicks games because they’re winning. Kyrie Irving returned to Brooklyn and a fan asked why he didn’t play like this with the Nets and he blamed Mayor Adams. Joe Buck was on a podcast and thinks something bad will happen this week and it won’t stay in Vegas. Gio thinks because it’s Vegas, the teams and players are on high alert about not doing something stupid. Buck SHOWALTER was on the Jon Heyman podcast and talked about load management. He is not a fan. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer was the subject of a lot of interviews yesterday as part of CBS media day for the Super Bowl. Tony ROMO talked about sports gambling and said it makes the game feel less pure. Gio doesn’t agree with that. Jim NANTZ said his favorite food is stone crab. Second favorite is popcorn. He also eats a hotdog at halftime of every game he does, but brings his own bottled ketchup. Boomer remembers a time doing a game with NANTZ where they had to stop by McDonalds on their way to the game. 

Hour 2

We are taping a segment with Drew Barrymore today that will air later in the week. They will be commenting on a new fashion trend for me, gigantic butts. Gio would not get butt implants but he would get fat sucked out of his man boobs. We don’t know a single man who is trying to get a bigger butt. Sports books in the middle of the day, with only horse racing on, is a sad spot. SAQUON Barkley just walked by and Al went chasing him down but his agent said ‘absolutely not’. Gio said LeBron has a mangled foot, particularly his pinky toe. Gio said he should cut it off and put it up on auction. Jerry returns for an update and starts with celebrities congratulating Clyde Frazier and Mike Breen for 25 years of Knicks coverage. The Knicks beat the Grizzlies but Jalen Brunson twisted an ankle late in the game. Kyrie, Luka and the Mavs had no problem in Brooklyn. Kyrie said he felt like he was home and he’s made peace with his time with the Nets. The Raptors have a player with the last name Dick, and the Pelicans broadcasters couldn’t handle it. Rutgers beat Maryland and Jerry has audio from Chris Carlin on the call. John Minko was on the call as St. John’s beat DePaul. Shannon Sharpe and Ochocinco are close to a million subscribers and want to drink cognac down the back when that happens. In the final segment of the hour, Jim Rome is leaving CBS Sports Network for X. Rome will join Tucker Carlson as a host over there. Tucker interviewed Vladimir Putin which is sure to upset some people. The mayor of Las Vegas doesn’t seem to want the A’s to move here. Boomer said it’s a done deal, they are moving to Vegas. Eventually an NBA team will come to Vegas. 

Hour 3

It’s been a quiet week so far in Vegas which is good for both teams involved. Boomer said both teams are staying 20 miles or so outside of the city. Coach COWHER told a story about putting in a defense the night before the Super Bowl that they used 39 times in the game against Seattle. Hines Ward was the MVP in that Super Bowl. Tory Holt is up for the Hall and Boomer says it’s his time. There is a log jam at WR in Hall nominees right now. We went through some of the guys up for the Hall of Fame. We talked about James Brown’s entourage. He is scheduled to come on at 9am with us. Boomer talked about all the stuff James has to do for the NFL Today every week. Jerry is here for an update and James Brown’s entourage is at six so far. Jerry starts with celebrities congratulating Clyde and Mike Breen on 25 years together. Jalen Brunson turned an ankle late in the game. Kyrie Irving returned to Brooklyn as the Mavericks beat the Nets. Kyrie talked about why things failed here with him. He said he had to take some moral stances. Somebody asked Brock Purdy about looking like Lee Harvey Oswald. Rutgers beat Maryland last night and Jerry has clips of Chris Carlin on the call. Buck SHOWALTER is not a fan of analytics and explained why. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about CBS’ Super Bowl setup including the ‘doink’ cam. Gio has strong Taylor Swift takes but seems to be holding back. Now she’s taking heat for not giving an RIP to Toby Keith since he was instrumental in her career. Boomer said you have no idea what she has said to his family privately.                                                         

Hour 4

James Brown joined us on location at the Blue Wire Studios at the Wynn in Vegas. We talked about CBS’ coverage of the Super Bowl and all of the charities James is involved with. We talked about his great interview with Michael Vick from back in the day when he asked, ‘what about the dogs, what about the dogs?’ JB claims to have gotten drunk on popcorn dipped in bourbon. JB confirms that Phil Simms wears his wife’s glasses. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with Jalen Brunson injuring his ankle late in last night’s win against the Grizzlies. Kyrie returns to Brooklyn as the Mavs beat the Nets. A fan asked Kyrie why he didn’t play this well in Brooklyn and he blamed Mayor Adams. There was a man walking around naked in a Florida airport. Rutgers beat Maryland and Jerry won $1,000 from Boomer. Chris Russo had Clark Hunt on his radio show and asked him about Andy Reid retiring. Boomer said we are in the MAHOMES era of the NFL. The Moment of The Day involves Al chasing down SAQUON Barkley in the hotel and Boomer doing his best KADARIUS Toney impression. In the final segment of the show, Awful Announcing posted that James Brown confirmed Phil Simms wears lady glasses. We are heading over to Drew Barrymore’s show right after this show is over. Boomer wonders what Shane Gillis will do on SNL. Gio said he might be a fraud on Drew Barrymore’s show and act like he loves the Taylor Swift/Travis KELCE relationship.

There is a log jam at wide receiver when it comes to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as they get ready to announce this year's class.

Hour 1

The Super Bowl matchup is set between the Chiefs and Niners. Chiefs/Ravens was an incredible physical game. Gio swore he would never bet against Mahomes again, and yet he took the Ravens. Mahomes is the undisputed king. He is impossible to topple. He’s like a surgeon. Lamar Jackson threw a terrible pick in the end zone in the fourth quarter. Travis Kelce had his best game ever. Gio said Patrick Mahomes made Travis Kelce and Andy Reid immortal. The Ravens had a ton of terrible penalties which killed them. The Lions twice went for it on 4th down and failed, when they could have gone for field goals. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with the audio of Zay Flowers fumbling at the goal line resulting in a touchback. Mahomes talked about all the big plays from Kelce. John Harbaugh said he told the team to walk out of the stadium with their heads held high. Lamar Jackson talked about the turnovers. Jerry also has audio from the Niners win over the Lions and the Brandon Aiyuk catch off the Lions’ defender’s helmet. Christian McCaffrey talked about the elite Brock Purdy. Dan Campbell talked about the disappointment of losing to the Niners. In the final segment of the hour, SNL did a skit about the NFL Today but left out Boomer. And why did the lights go out on CBS during the halftime show? Boomer was told somebody tripped over a wire and pulled it out of the socket. 

Hour 2

Unfortunately Boomer did not run into Taylor Swift in Baltimore. Boomer did run into Jim Harbaugh and told Boomer he hears his sports minutes sometimes. Boomer said there was a tense moment at the train station last night leaving Baltimore on the Amtrak Acela. There was one ‘asswipe douchebag’ who approached Boomer, Nate and Cowher. He was telling them the NFL is rigged. Coach Cowher was getting into it with the guy. Then Nate started getting into it with the guy as well. And then Amtrak ran out of alcohol. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds from the Lions/Niners game. Kyle Shanahan talked about the difference between the first and second half. Dan Campbell talked about going for it instead of kicking field goals, and failing. Ian Eagle had the call of the Lamar Jackson interception in the endzone. Andy Reid talked about the Chiefs defense being outstanding. In the final segment of the hour, Kadarius Toney took to social media to say he was not injured, despite what the Chiefs said. He went on Instagram live to say these things. And he cursed a lot. Boomer wonders why Gio is fascinated with Kadarius. 

Hour 3

Boomer wonders if Travis Kelce will propose to Taylor Swift if they win the Super Bowl. Gio thinks CBS would pay for the private plane to get her there from Tokyo. We talked about Usher being the halftime show and who the special guests could be (not Taylor Swift). We also talked about the early spread in the Super Bowl. We talked about the disparity in paychecks between Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about the Super Bowl halftime show with Katy Perry and the left shark that wasn’t dancing properly. Jerry has audio from the very unfunny SNL skit involving the NFL Today. Jerry has audio from the Niners win over the Lions as San Francisco scored 27 straight points. Nick Bosa talked about being embarrassed by the halftime score. The Chiefs won in Baltimore and Patrick Mahomes said they’re not done yet. Julius Randle dislocated his shoulder over the weekend. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the differences between Brock Purdy and Patrick Mahomes. 

Hour 4

We talked about Usher doing the halftime show and Boomer wondered if Usher requested Taylor Swift to join him. Boomer then said he knows that he (Boomer) is obsessed with the Taylor Swift stuff. Gio said Patrick Mahomes is responsible for Andy Reid being a great coach and Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift. He put them both right in the Hall of Fame. Without Mahomes, Kelce would just be a regular tight end. Jerry returned for an update but first Boomer invited us to a watch event in Vegas where we have to wear nice clothes. Jerry has all the sounds from the Chiefs/Ravens game including Lamar Jackson, who talked about the turnovers they had in key spots. Dan Campbell talked about being crushed by the loss. Jalen Brunson talked about Julius Randle’s shoulder injury. The Moment of The Day involves the NFL Today guys in an altercation at the Baltimore train station.

Episode 100 of The Write it Down Podcast is here! We are overwhelmed with gratitude that you have followed us along for these past 3 years. There isn't a better way to ring in episode 100 than welcoming Pro Football Hall of Famer, Warren Moon, to the mic. Warren overcame the social stigma that African Americans should not be quarterbacks. He decided early on not to succumb to that line of thinking and to pursue his dreams of being an NFL quarterback. He spent his early career in the CFL, but it wasn't too long after that the opportunity to play in the NFL would knock on his door. Warren encourages us to keep chasing our dreams and not to let culture define our potential. You know what to do, sit back, relax, and get your pens ready!
