Boomer and Carton is no more. The WFAN morning show was rocked this morning with Craig Carton being arrested on securities fraud to pay gambling debts.
Boomer Esiason had to go on WFAN this morning and announce his partner had been arrested in a high-end ticket-scalping deal where he arranged to get $10,000,000 from a hedge fund.
The money was apparently going to be used to buy tickets to high-profile events, where then they would be resold by partners and Carton (who was at least a million dollars in debt to gambling loansharks, apparently) was to get a cut of the profits to pay off what he could and flee the country before he was killed.
THIS is the guy who was the straight-man on the biggest sports talk morning show in New York City?
If that doesn't tell you the workings of the American Sports Machine -- and how compromised basically everyone involved in that machine is -- I don't know what to tell you.
