Boomer Esiason admits he and Matt Millen were “High” during MNF broadcast January 11th, 2014 Boomer Esiason and morning show co-host Craig Carton were discussing synthetic marijuana and Jets tight end Kellen Winslow, who was reportedly found in possession of it, when the conversation took a turn. After taking some calls on the subject, Carton said to his radio partner: “Listen, don’t even pretend like you’re Mr. Innocent.”Boomer then opened up about a moment from way back in 2000, his rookie year on the Monday Night Football radio broadcast.“Now here’s the deal. What you’re saying, for some listeners or some viewers now that are listening to us for the first time, what you’re saying is accurate. I did get high. I did. I didn’t realize I was getting high when I got high, but I got high — and I have to tell you that it was one of the best broadcasts I’ve ever had.“… The radio booth is like a lean-to in the middle of the stands. And it’s a (December) game. It’s the Chiefs at the Patriots, both teams have major losing records, it’s raining outside, it’s cold, there might be about 40,000 people in the stadium, it is awful. And there’s this grim reaper outside of our booth, and he’s got a hoodie on and he’s got a big ol’ puffy jacket on, and he’s smoking weed. And he’s blowing it into the lean-to.“I mean, we’re 3 minutes into the game and Matt Millen’s already looking for something to eat. And Howard David is trying to keep us focused on the game, and Matt Millen and I are talking about everything but the game.He did state that he was high from these two hooded guys that sat next to the booth, but it is still an interesting conversation.“We have the second-hand smoke going on. Now, we obviously know what’s happening, but we don’t necessarily know that we’re reacting to what’s happening. … I was laughing my a– off for the entire first half!” http://network.yardbarker.com/author/article_external/15516299?widget=true
That's like saying he didn't inhale.I'm calling b.s.Of course they were smoking.
Where can I look up that broadcast? Maybe it's good for a laugh or two.
Boomer's about that life!
Matt Millen was high his entire time at Detroit as well.
All Boomer needs is some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and he's fine.
Matt Millen was high his entire time at Detroit as well.
Only explanation for some of those moves he made.
Usually find their broadcasts boring, glad they are trying a new strategy.

That has to be in the running for the all-time worst front office job in NFL history.
I would argue that you have to be high to enjoy their broadcasting.

Football is tough on the radio, so if Boomer needs some "help", more power to him.
