The NFL Today crew was on location Sunday for the AFC Championship Game. With Boomer Esiason stuck in Kansas City overnight, there was no way he could be in studio at WFAN Monday morning, so he connected with Gregg Giannotti and crew from Audacy’s Kansas City building. He left an impression, too, by stealing plenty of food from the company break room.
Audacy Kansas City has an honor system in place that allows employees to take the food they want and pay on a machine in the room. Esiason, never having seen that sort of set up before, assumed all of the food was free and claims to have taken ten items before 610 Sports Program Director Steven Spector said anything to him.
Giannotti called Spector this morning to confirm that Esiason was indeed a thief. Not only did Spector say he would cover the cost of the items the WFAN host took, but it was also revealed that he arrived at Esiason’s hotel this morning to drive him to the studio at 4:00 AM.
“Spector has done more for Boomer Esiason in one day than he has ever done for us,” Bob Fescoe told Josh Klingler on 610’s morning show. “If you and I were doing this, we’d be walked out.”
The guys listened back to audio of their boss on the air in New York. Fescoe noted that Spector sounded more like a fan than a colleague.
“There you go, Mr. Boomer! And a ride!”
Klingler said he expected the prices of everything in the break room to go up to make up for Boomer’s theft. Fescoe agreed and said that was a reason not to cover for the former NFL quarterback.
“I would have had the authorities here!” he said.
