00:00Speaking of sports, yes, sir, Eastside Dave has quick sports.
00:05What do we got, man?
00:06Well, we're going to start with football, where it was a weird game for the Giants yesterday.
00:09They tied with the Washington Commanders 20-20.
00:14How do we fix the football tie?
00:17How do we fix that?
00:18Do a field goal kickoff.
00:20Something, right?
00:21Flip a coin.
00:21I don't know.
00:22Something.
00:23Just let's get a winner.
00:24They don't want to do, you know, multiple overtimes due to injury, and I can understand
00:27that, but you could do the field goal.
00:30But honestly, I love how they do it in college.
00:33So in college, they start it at the team gets it on the other team's 25-yard line.
00:40So you're right away in field goal range.
00:42Right, right, right.
00:43And you both get the ball.
00:45It's like baseball.
00:46You're each going to get an inning.
00:47And whoever scores more.
00:48That's it.
00:49And so if one team gets a field goal at the top of the inning, you know, the overtime,
00:54and the other team gets a touchdown, they win.
00:57Nice and simple.
00:57If they kick a field goal, then you keep it going.
01:00I think in college it works.
01:02But nevertheless, Giants, they're now 7-4-1.
01:06They had opportunities to win this game.
01:08They were up 20-13 late.
01:11It was 4th and 4, and they look like they had the Washington quarterback, Heineke, dead
01:17to rights.
01:18He was scrambling.
01:19He just kind of chucked one up, and they completed that pass for a first down.
01:23Washington, I should say.
01:24And as a result, Washington went down the field, tied it at 20-20.
01:28Even in overtime, the Giants had chances.
01:30They stopped Washington.
01:31But Darius Slayton dropped a bomb that Daniel Jones threw.
01:36That was about a 60-yard pass.
01:38And it was a very catchable ball.
01:42That dude's got a cannon for an arm, man.
01:44Well, I'll say this.
01:46Daniel Jones has played well.
01:48And the big Achilles heel now for the Giants is officially their wide-receiving core.
01:54Their entire crew.
01:55They don't have one good playmaker.
01:58That guy that is special that changes the game.
02:02They don't have one of them.
02:03That's something they've got to find.
02:04Yeah, they've got to find that.
02:05Odell Beckham Jr.
02:06They seem to be protecting them more, too, right?
02:08Yeah.
02:10Listen, like I said, Daniel Jones has actually played pretty well this year.
02:14Jets, meanwhile, they lost to the Vikings 27-22.
02:18They looked like they were coming back at the end.
02:20Mike White, Jet QB, had a 4th and 10 completion for about 30 yards, and he got down there.
02:27That was about 3 1⁄2 left in the game.
02:29Did you see the play before he made that completion?
02:32He got pasted.
02:34Crushed.
02:35He got crushed.
02:36Now, he did throw two picks.
02:37We also threw for 369 yards and also got the endorsement yet again from his teammates after the game.
02:44After the game, despite the loss, Jets teammates were saying,
02:48we would do anything for Mike White that the man is special is the word that they were throwing around.
02:52I think he earned the right to get another start.
02:55This is it for Zach Wilson.
02:57But I don't know if I would put him in 100%.
02:59I would put him in 100% just for the rest of the year.
03:03Yeah.
03:04It's too ugly between the Jets players and Zach Wilson.
03:09They clearly don't like Zach Wilson.
03:10Hang on.
03:10He had a lot of passes that were just beyond catchable.
03:14Just beyond the mark.
03:16Well, that happens.
03:17He had Wilson going down, I guess, the right side of the field, and he led him by two steps.
03:24Yeah, but you're not understanding –
03:26Had that ball been on target, that would have been a touchdown.
03:29Right.
03:29But we're going to take Mike White out of the scenario.
03:31Zach Wilson is poisonous to these teammates.
03:33Zach Wilson would not have made that throw either.
03:36That's for sure.
03:36But I'm just talking about the teammates.
03:38The teammates are literally wearing Mike White's shirts, and they're saying he's special.
03:42That is absolutely a whole other problem.
03:44But they clearly don't like Zach Wilson.
03:46At the same time, though, the coach has to make the call.
03:50Yeah.
03:50So, I don't know.
03:51I just think that if your QB has lost the team, forget about it, and why not actually
03:56see if you're the Jets right now, right now, could we deal Zach Wilson?
04:02Could we get something for Zach Wilson?
04:03I don't think you're going to get much for Zach Wilson.
04:05I don't see Zach Wilson –
04:06He wasn't even suited up.
04:07What are we going to get for him?
04:08A parking lot of –
04:09He's not hurt, though.
04:11You know, I'm just saying.
04:12No, but he's completely lost his mojo.
04:14You know, just try it, because I don't see a future with him as the quarterback of
04:19the Jets moving forward.
04:20I mean, I don't either, but at the same time, after what I saw yesterday, I'm not sure Mike
04:25White is either.
04:26Oh, man.
04:26The guy threw for 369 yards.
04:28What about that fourth and 10?
04:30I mean, come on.
04:30It was huge.
04:31It was great.
04:31I was shouting in my kitchen.
04:34It was fantastic.
04:35And he has the love of his teammates.
04:37Which is great.
04:38Which is fantastic.
04:40All right.
04:40All right.
04:41All right.
04:41I'm just talking about the year.
04:42Five field goals.
04:43I'm not saying Mike White is the next quarterback for the next 15 years.
04:47I'm saying right here, right now.
04:49The Jets are going for a playoff spot.
04:51You say Mike White has done enough in a win and in a loss, because he still has the love
04:56and the support of his teammates.
04:57Zach Wilson is poison.
04:59Let's get a playmaker on the Jets and trade Zach Wilson.
05:01That's what I'd be doing.
05:02I don't know about that.
05:03The Eagles crushed the Titans.
05:05We got the Bills next week.
05:06That's right.
05:06Their defense is just as good, if not better, than the Vikings.
05:09Agreed.
05:10So, deal Zach Wilson and get a defensive player or a good wide receiver.
05:14I don't know.
05:14The Eagles crushed the Titans 35-10.
05:17Philly QB Jalen Hurts continues his MVP season.
05:21Shoulder not, man.
05:22380 yards, 3 touchdowns.
05:23Don't you guys play the Eagles next week?
05:25The Giants do play the Eagles, and then they play Washington again.
05:30So, it's a lot of NFC East rivalries for the Giants in the next few weeks.
05:34Basketball.
05:35The Knicks took down the Cavs 92-81.
05:38Great game for Jalen Brunson, 23 points in the victory.
05:42The Nets lost to the Celtics 103-92.
05:46The 76ers were off.
05:47They play the Rockets this evening in Houston.
05:49Hockey.
05:50The Devils-Rangers Flyers all off yesterday.
05:53Tonight, the Rangers face the Blues in Madison Square Garden.
05:56The Flyers go against the Avalanche in Philly.
05:59The Devils play tomorrow when they take on the Blackhawks.
06:02Baseball.
06:02The Mets have lost Jacob deGrom as the Cy Young winner is headed to the Texas Rangers
06:07after signing a big deal with Texas.
06:11Five years, $185 million.
06:13And this one was a little bit surprising.
06:15Apparently, deGrom actually initiated the talks with the Rangers.
06:19They themselves were surprised.
06:21That's crazy.
06:21That Jacob deGrom was contacting that.
06:23I mean, I guess he never just didn't want to be in New York anymore.
06:26I guess not.
06:27No word yet.
06:27I think that's a great contract for a Texas fan.
06:30No, maybe not.
06:30No word yet on Aaron Judge.
06:32And whether he'll sign with the Yankees or the San Francisco Giants, it seems like
06:37those are the two teams that Judge will sign.
06:39Everything I have is crossed right now.
06:41I mean, if Hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman screw this up and they let Aaron Judge walk,
06:48it'll be the biggest PR disaster in the history of the New York Yankees.
06:51Question about it.
06:52Period.
06:53Hey, man, you can win the...
06:55Are we good?
06:55Well, I want to say the U.S. is out of the World Cup.
06:58Oh, yeah.
06:59After losing Saturday to the Netherlands 3-1, it was 2-1 and they had a little mojo.
07:05But as soon as they got that goal, their first goal, Netherlands went back up by two
07:11with a goal and that was it.
07:12But it was a good showing for the Americans.
07:14It was all right.
07:15And the United States will host the World Cup in 2026.
07:18You want to see a U.S. soccer team win a game in the World Cup, you've got to watch
07:22the U.S. women.
07:23You've got to watch the U.S. soccer team win a game in the World Cup.
