What about Bob? Glauber's NFL Blog

... not really, just figured some of Neil Best's readers obsessed with the Imus saga might do a google search and stumble upon this entry.

But I do have a POST-Don Imus update, or at least an impression of life after Imus.

It's not bad, actually. Not that we could stomach more than 10 minutes of Imus before he got whacked; he's been un-funny for 10 years.

Had a chance the other day while slammed in traffic on my way to the Jets to get a good listen to the Carton and Boomer Show, and I enjoyed it. Like, really enjoyed it.

Best nitpicked a few things, but I guess that's what he's supposed to do now that he's traded in his seat in the Giants' press room for the creaky chair in his basement. But I thought the chemistry was good, Craig Carton was a strong voice but not over the top, as he was reputed to have been while working for New Jersey 101.5. Chris Carlin was a perfect No. 3 with his self-deprecating style.

During the show, Boomer and Carlin placed a wager on who could lose at least 10 percent of their body weight by Thanksgiving. They even had a weigh-in: Boomer tipped the scales at 253, meaning he has to shed 25 pounds to win the bet. And Carlin checked in at a hefty 331.

If Boomer wins the bet, Carlin will donate $1,000 to Esiason's foundation to cure cystic fibrosis. If Carlin wins, Boomer gives him and his wife and all-expenses paid trip to a Carribbean island.

Good luck to both men.

Later in the show, Carton got Jim Fassel to admit for the first time publicly that he was ticked at Tom Coughlin for taking a shot about the injury situation when he took the Giants' job from Fassel after the 2003 season. And there was a funny exchange between Carton, Esiason and Carlin about the Yankees radio announcers.

I guess what I liked most about the show was that it wasn't simply diehard sports, which only gets you so far before you've got to push the button for something else. There was plenty of talk about baseball and football, which is what you want, but sprinkled in was some humor and sarcasm, which will keep you listening.

Good start, fellas.

PS: See, Boomer? I actually wrote something nice about you, so next time I see you, don't be talking about how I'm ripping you! Hey, I even put a nice picture of you in here. I'd say you weigh about 240 in this one.
