Boomer is an a**

Boomer Esiason is a complete fool

New York Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy missed the season's first three games this week to be with his wife during the birth of their first child. Murphy's wife went into labor on opening day Monday, so he went to Florida to be with her for the birth, then decided to take the three full days' paternity leave allowed by Major League Baseball.

Seems reasonable, right? Not to some sports radio announcers, including Boomer Esiason.

"Quite frankly I would've said 'C-section before the season starts. I need to be at opening day. This is what makes our money, this is how we're going to live our life, this is going to give our child every opportunity to be a success in life. I'll be able to afford any college I want to send my kid to because I'm a baseball player,'" Esiason said Tuesday on his daily morning radio show, "Boomer and Carton."

Shouldn't we praise Fathers who put their family first?? I hope his wife divorces his ass over this!!

C sections are major surgery. They are sometimes considered "routine" but there's really nothing routine about cutting open someone's abdomen. It took awhile for me to heal after the emergency C-section I went through. Not something I'd wish on anyone & especially not a young healthy women who can give birth naturally (the first baby I had was natural delivery without drugs - so I've experienced both ways).

At least one would hope he/she would and tell him what a sh*thead he is for even considering putting his wife through needless pain.

so he won't have to take time off during a more crucial time of the season. And he should be grateful the baby was born healthy anyhow!
