NFL Legend Boomer Esiason & Frank The Tank Walk and Talk NYC | Episode 10 presented by BODYARMOR

Raised on Lond Island, Boomer Esiason was drafted in the second round of the 1984 NFL by the Cincinnati Bengals after starring at Maryland. He replaced longtime quarterback Ken Anderson and led the Bengals to Super Bowl XXIII while winning the 1988 NFL MVP. Five years later, Boomer joined the team he rooted for when he was traded to the New York Jets. 

At the same time, he joined the Jets, Boomer learned his son, Gunner, had Cystic Fibrosis. From that moment, Esiason became dedicated to raising money for research to cure CF, launching the Boomer Esiason Foundation. Tim O'Brien, who was a partner at Cantor Fitzgerald, helped launch the foundation, raising money from the World Trade Center. The foundation has been largely successful, as CF patients now have a longer life expectancy and are living quality lives. This includes Gunner Esiason, who now has a family of his own. 

Tim O'Brien and several members of the Boomer Esiason Foundation were among the victims of the September 11th attacks. For the walk, Boomer told me their story while visiting the 9/11 memorial. 

Boomer Esiason just ended 22 years as co-host of the NFL Today on CBS. He recently extended his deal to remain co-host of WFAN's Morning Show. During the walk, we went over several topics, and was one of the more entertaining walks that I have had.
