Respect Boomer for all of his fund raising and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis.

[@stevebonkoski2732]

It’s about time. It will not be missed in the slightest.

[@JDL0427]

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.

[@johnny5735]

He'll do a lot better and probably it on the podcast game than TV

[@sammyvh11]

Boomer is a great guy. Best QB in my life at U of Maryland. RIP Bob Avellini

[@chrisoakley5830]

🎉 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.

[@jimpharo3521]

Class act. Will look to catch up with Boomer on the NFL in the fall - wherever he surfaces.

[@robertd.7060]

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 .

[@kikovazquez7277]

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 🤭

[@user-ck2ym4nh5i]

Boomer is the best. Knows hockey like a beast.

[@JGabrielSeibel]

Would have preferred to see Cowher go

[@cdchoux]

Or Sims

[@HarrisonHollers]

@@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.

[@user-ci7xi5kv8p]

Bill "'l'll tell you what" Won't miss that someday.

[@Paul-vf2wl]

@@HarrisonHollers I guess they want a coach on there the 2 new guys are JJ Watt and Matt Ryan

[@HarrisonHollers]

@@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.

[@annamarieristuccianydem]

I like Boomer on the morning radio show.

[@user-nd9ls1xn5f]

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

[@michaelfalsia6062]

AMEN Brother! Couldn't agree more.

[@vincesmith2499]

Fired by ABC and now CBS. Maybe he just isn't good.

[@brutusbarnabus8098]

Ya you’re right a 22 year run is really really bad. Maybe you just aren’t too smart. Actually there is no maybe. 🤡

[@vincesmith2499]

@@brutusbarnabus8098 He blows, and he still hasn't apologized to Al Michaels.

[@mikenoble3126]

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.

[@darenmaples9872]

He’s not the one they should of let Go. Half of everyone else would of been great

[@dianeguzevich556]

I will miss you Boomer!!!

[@realtyranny3310]

"Nobody from CBS ever told me to back off with this kind of criticism..." What did he ever say that was so controversial?

[@melvinsmiley5295]

Boomer is a class act. Enjoy your weekends, you earned it.

[@patrickpaes6653]

great job Boomer !! what you do ,you do it well !!

[@BlkOMNI]

Shout out to the terp

[@dennismorgan3589]

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

[@chop3625]

He was all set to bag WFAN😂 Then immediately signs an extension, so transparent.

[@HarrisonHollers]

No way! He loves the radio gig more. He can still do everything he wants while working mornings. The studio gig is more restrictive.

[@shawnfloyd6542]

Word !

[@JustQuestions8]

Boomer was my favorite player. B in Maryland

[@farism5313]

Loved Boomer comentary on cbs

[@jamesjazzy8040]

I kind of liked Boomer Esiason as an announcer...

[@dixiebrick]

New brooms sweep good but you need an old broom to sweep the corners

[@chrisoakley5830]

It never takes long for the bristles to fall off a new broom.

[@scrapironff1873]

Of course he would open up! That is what he does.

[@robertott9925]

Stu and Dan 20 years. 20 for Dan, 16ish for Stu....😁

[@pytube777]

They don’t need that many analysts on the show. 2 max.

[@user-li3qf3nn8s]

Class act

[@pat9753]

Dump Cower, he spits all over everything when he talks. Coach Cower, big deal!

[@ishmaeldarjean2757]

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.

[@EnterpriseNCC-1701]

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.

[@HarrisonHollers]

Yeah agreed. JJ is great! Matt Ryan? Dudes boring. I’d prefer someone like Larry Fitzgerald - well respected and great presenter.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

I love Boomer he will be missed. RIP 😏Jokes aside Respect

[@jadap1789]

Boomer sucked

[@krein7951]

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.

[@CatNip555]

He said it cause Phil won't Boomer & Phil are super close friends

[@LuciferMornStar]

The could have booted a bunch others! Boomer actually was overshadowed by all the big egos.

[@jimibmore]

This should have happened years ago. And I'm a huge Terps fan. Not a big fan.

[@ColinGriffin-tl6oi]

It was time for him to go

[@astrosjer822]

Way too many guys on that CBS NFL desk….

[@robertkuhn-qr6vb]

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!

[@slappyabromowitz]

Enjoy his takes. Hardest working man in NFL broadcasting.

[@Earthling247]

People don’t remember Boomer as a player, and his analysis has been subpar.

[@stephen300o6]

They already had one Phil Simms, and that's more than enough.

[@HarrisonHollers]

Phil joined after Boomer

[@scotte2177]

Worm ate his brain. RFK

[@josecuellar3620]

I still miss jimmy the Greek,Irv cross,Brent mussberger Phyliss George .

[@seangagnonProvidenceR.I.]

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

[@VideoByPatrick]

He was sooooo wrong about Flacco comeback.

[@rccomics]

I barely watch football and I couldn’t take him. He’s just not good. There should be more.

[@kbotah2023]

His voice is going

[@josephreilly6328]

East Islip

[@Lilypenny-pl9qk]

He's been blessed more than most. It's time to let go .

[@user-dr4mv9wm9r]

What is the big deal, he bought nothing to the table… can you say VANILLA…👎👎👎👎

[@PianoUniverse]

I stopped watching pre game on the locals years ago. Prefer Rich Eisens show.

[@richardpoplis6777]

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]

Phil and boomer suck

[@richardpoplis6777]

@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

[@bigbotzone]

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."

[@coe9706]

Ahhh they played for one lol wym🤣

[@vdoggydogg3922]

pre and post game NFL shows are useless when there is 5 people and they each get 30 seconds to talk.

[@williamoleary9330]

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

[@JohnSmith-vy7ck]

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.

[@timjones5219]

vicodan head

[@davidjackson9148]

I hate the halftime and post game shows. I don't need to see and hear talking heads to rehash what I just watched.

[@stevengraham3138]

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

[@AnotherBadChannel]

Funny he would mention mcafee

[@ellisd.wilsonjr.4114]

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.

[@gabriel-1957]

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

[@joshmorgan838]

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.

[@thrill2020]

Raider hater got canned cant say im sad

[@HarrisonHollers]

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.

[@JohnSmith-vy7ck]

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 😂

[@guzmancharles7]

Lost respect for Simms because he refused to call the Washington Reskins by its name.

[@ZZSmithReal]

Lousy morning show host.

[@gregrice1532]

Plus Shannon Sharpe better then anyone on that show bill cowhler horrible to

[@vanceharkema5131]

CBS already let Shannon Sharpe go once. They let him and Dan Marino go around same time.

[@HarrisonHollers]

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.
