Boomer Esiason obliterates Juan Soto after Mets loss: ‘I'm not following that guy'
Juan Soto was the sole reason the Mets didn't get no-hit in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Guardians, but Boomer Esiason has no sympathy for the superstar outfielder amid this ugly slide. 'He's got a nice smile on his face and he's laughing. I'm sick of it,' Esiason said on WFAN's 'Boomer and Gio' show Thursday morning. 'I want to see the attitude … If that's the guy making $765 million and he's supposed to be a leader, I'm not following that guy.' Soto caught the ire of some Mets fans — and Esiason — after smiling as he rounded the bases after breaking up Gavin Williams' no-hit bid with a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth inning. Juan Soto smiling as he watches his home run in the ninth inning of Wednesday's loss to the Guardians. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post 'Your highest-paid player, whether it be Aaron Judge or Shohei Ohtani or, in this case, Juan Soto, has to lead the team. They have to set the example,' Esiason said, going on to argue that he doesn't believe Soto is doing enough to set that standard. Soto's 15-year, $765 million deal that can go north of $800 million is the largest contract in North American sports history. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS The 26-year-old is hitting .185 in his last 15 games with the scuffling Mets, who have lost eight of their last nine games to fall 2.5 games back of the Phillies in the NL East. For the season, he's slashing .249/.382/.483 with an .864 OPS and 26 homers. His OPS is significantly below his career average of .943. Boomer Esiason voiced his frustrations with Juan Soto on 'Boomer and Gio' Thursday morning. WireImage Still, some Mets fans took to social media to voice their frustrations with Esiason's rant. 'Cmon dude. There are so many other things to get on this team for. Shoot, you could even just get on Soto for disappearing since June,' one user wrote on X. 'But this stuff is kinda just doesn't resonate with most Met fans. The game was over before that homer, that was the least of my anger.' 'So first he wasn't happy enough and now he's too happy and not angry enough. Got it. No pleasing you people,' said another. Esiason, 64, was a four-time Pro-Bowler in his 14-year career as an NFL quarterback, which included three seasons with the Jets.

‘Sooner than later': ESPN's Tim Legler sees likely superstar in Houston's Amen Thompson
'He's going to be a superstar in this league, I believe it,' ESPN's Tim Legler says of rising Rockets star Amen Thompson. 'And he's going to get there sooner than later.' Earlier this spring, the Houston Rockets didn't win the decisive Game 7 of their best-of-seven, first-round playoff series versus the Golden State Warriors. But for a relatively young team featuring numerous high draft picks from recent years, the Rockets did learn a lot about what they're made of. Specifically, as ESPN analyst Tim Legler pointed out on the ALL NBA Podcast, they learned quite a bit about rising star Amen Thompson. Legler's observations: I have such an indelible memory of the end of the year, that Game 7 against Golden State. The fact that Amen Thompson was more comfortable than any player on the floor, practically, outside of (Steph) Curry and (Jimmy) Butler, said a lot to me. He did everything in that game, with all that pressure. He's going to be a superstar in this league, I believe it. And he's going to get there sooner than later. To Legler's point, Thompson was magnificent in Game 7. In 37 minutes, the 22-year-old finished with 24 points on 9-of-16 shooting (56.3%) while also grabbing 9 rebounds and dishing out 3 assists. After a relatively slow start to the playoffs, perhaps due to some jitters in his first career appearance, Thompson was a force over the final four games — averaging 20.0 points (54.7% FG), 7.8 rebounds, 2.5 steals, 2.5 assists, and 1.0 blocks. The versatile 6-foot-7 guard/forward was also dynamic on defense, as shown in the NBA All-Defensive First Team honor that Thompson received after the season. While much of the offseason talk in Houston has surrounded the arrival of Kevin Durant, it's worth emphasizing that he's not the only star player on the 2025-26 Rockets. Big man Alperen Sengun was an All-Star last season, and it's very possible that Thompson could be joining that tier in the near future. Best of all, both are 23 or younger, which gives them ample room to continue getting better over the months and years ahead.
