Boomer Esiason chides Fox News for butchering co-host Gregg Giannotti’s name
"Everything, my whole last name was wrong"

Rick DiPietro and Dave Rothenberg move to the 6 – 10am timeslot, giving ESPN New York a local show that competes directly with WFAN for the first time ever.
According to Boomer Esiason, he pays Lloyd’s of London a monthly fee for kidnap insurance on himself.
"Now that I’m on it, now it’s definitely must-watch TV."
"I didn’t say what you think I said!"
"He likes to hold grudges," Boomer Esiason added of his former co-host Craig Carton.
"I guess we took the money as well."
"I’m gonna order coffee now."
"You guys have a catcher named Omir Santos, I’d never seen the name Omir before"
"People want to make that into something bigger than it is"
"I don't know this can get any worse. But, you know, if it can't get any worse then hopefully there is going to be room for improvement."
"He’s not entertaining, there’s nothing about him that’s interesting"
The relationship between WFAN morning hosts Gregg Giannotti and Boomer Esiason and afternoon host Mike Francesa has been fraught...
The intra-WFAN ribbing continued Monday, with Boomer and Gio making fun of Francesa's no-show on his app.
"It's the Mike Francesa Studio, they open the first show saying Mike and Chris, they built it. And then the second [Mike and Chris] have an opening, two and a half months in, they say there's going to be an opening at FAN? That's just wrong. Classless."
Replacements for Mike Francesa and Craig Carton could be announced in early November, and ESPN NY contributor/co-host Scott is receiving some discussion as part of the mix to replace Francesa.
