Avast ye scallywags! The scurvy dog Boomer Esiason be hollerin' at Jorge López like a landlubber, but when he heard tell of a "serious" family matter, he be takin' it all back faster than a barnacle on a ship's hull. Arrr!
In a hilarious twist, radio shows in New York took aim at Jorge López, the New York Mets pitcher who tossed his glove into the stands after being ejected from a game. The incident was followed by López seemingly criticizing his team as the "worst in the MLB," but he later clarified that he meant he was the worst teammate. Renowned radio host Boomer Esiason initially condemned López's behavior, calling it embarrassing and suggesting immediate action should be taken. However, Esiason had a change of heart upon learning that López's son is battling familial Mediterranean fever and awaiting a transplant, drawing a connection to his own struggles with his son's cystic fibrosis. Esiason then advocated for a more compassionate approach, suggesting a mental health break for López instead of immediate punishment. Despite the Mets deeming López's actions unacceptable and planning to designate him for assignment, Esiason's empathy and understanding resonated with many.
