From Tom Taylor's NOW Radio newsletter...
“The rise and sad fall of Craig Carton” chronicles Carton’s career from his start in Buffalo at sports WGR, then Cleveland, Philly, Denver (highest-rated show ever on sports “Fan” KKFN), back to his native NYC area at then-WNEW/102.7 – and just before his decade at CBS Radio’s sports “Fan” WFAN-AM/FM, five years as a “Jersey Guy” on the PM drive show on hybrid talk/classic hits “NJ 101.5” WKXW Trenton.
This week is literally the ten-year anniversary of “Boomer & Carton” on the Fan, and Carton’s spending it accused of participating in a Ponzi scheme. Sounds like he had a very serious gambling problem. You read a couple of stories about this in yesterday’s NOW, and the NY Post fills in Carton’s history here:

CBS Radio’s taking it one day at a time, but has suspended him. Yesterday’s Boomer Esiason’s partner at the mic was fellow retired NFL quarterback Phil Simms.
