Boomer Esiason (Norman Julius Esiason) was born on April 17, 1961 in West Islip, New York. After going to high school at East Islip (Islip Terrace, NY), Esiason attended the University of Maryland. Esiason made his professional debut in the NFL in 1984 with the Cincinnati Bengals. He played for the Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals over the course of his 14 year career.
Most people believe that 1988 was Boomer Esiason's best year, as he threw for 3572 yards, tossed 28 TDs and put up a 97.4 passer rating and lead the Cincinnati Bengals to Super Bowl XXIII. Esiason also won the NFL MVP Award in 1988.
In April 2007 after the firing of Don Imus, CBS Radio gave Boomer a one-week "try-out" as Imus's replacement on WFAN. WFAN announced Esiason as the permanent host on August 13, along with Craig Carton, formerly of New Jersey 101.5 and WIP. Boomer and Carton officially started as of September 4
