1. Mental health has become a big topic in this country in recent years, but some people still don’t get it. You might not expect this to become an issue on a sports-talk radio show, but that was the case Tuesday morning on New York’s WFAN. The result was host Gregg Giannotti’s offering an impassioned and accurate explanation of what it’s like to deal with a mental illness and why the stigma around mental illness needs to change.
It all started with a caller on Tuesday’s show who told Giannotti and Boomer Esiason that their program should be called “Boomer and Mary” as an insult to Giannotti.
Another caller then brought up Giannotti’s having an anxiety attack while on the air last year.
