00:00Dave, sports, what do you got?
00:01Okay, well, we're going to start with football,
00:03where Tom Brady did Tom Brady things on Monday night football last night
00:08as the Bucs beat the Saints 17-16,
00:11with Brady throwing two touchdowns in the last three minutes of the game,
00:16including the game winner with just seconds to play.
00:20The victory actually sets a record for Brady,
00:23who surpasses Peyton Manning for the most fourth-quarter comebacks with 44.
00:30Amazing.
00:30How about that?
00:31And just a totally Tom Brady win last night on national TV.
00:35Always fun.
00:35The Bucs improve to 6-6, and the Saints drop to 4-9.
00:41Congrats to John Z. out of Barnegat,
00:44as John had a perfect week in the Rats Pro Football Pick'em Challenge.
00:48Hey, our first perfect week.
00:50Yes, 14 out of 14.
00:52Nice.
00:52And John wins week 13, picks up a $25 gift certificate to Joey D's Pizza
00:57with locations in Tom's River.
00:59And Brick?
01:00I feel like I don't even have half that many correct picks this week.
01:04No, I don't even check anymore because I am chasing points,
01:08and it's just one awful week after another, so it never works out.
01:12Hockey, the Rangers took down the Blues 6-4.
01:15Vincent Trocek had a goal and an assist for the Rangers in the win.
01:19The Flyers defeated the Avalanche 5-3.
01:22Carter Hart had 29 saves for Philly in the victory.
01:25Basketball, the 76ers lost to the Rockets last night, 123-132.
01:31Joel Embiid had 39 points in defeat.
01:34The Knicks and Nets were inactive.
01:37Both teams' next play on Wednesday.
01:39Baseball, the Mets made a big splash yesterday
01:42by acquiring Cy Young winner Justin Verlander
01:46in a two-year deal worth $86 million,
01:51$43 million a season for Verlander,
01:54who is 40 but also coming off of a Cy Young season.
01:59So pretty interesting.
02:01Basically, it's like we're going to let DeGrom walk for Verlander.
02:04That's the decision they made.
02:06Verlander is six years older than DeGrom,
02:09who was a hometown product, but, you know,
02:12they're going for a championship.
02:14I guess they thought Verlander is the way to go over DeGrom.
02:17I think Verlander's a pretty damn good arm.
02:20I don't mind getting him off the Astros,
02:22getting him out of our league, that's for sure.
02:23No, that's pretty good.
02:24They're both Hall of Famers, in my opinion.
02:26So, I mean, they're both two of the best pictures
02:29of their generation.
02:31The last couple of seasons with DeGrom have been just not there.
02:35He was good when he came back this year,
02:36but he has had some injury problems.
02:38When he came back from the injury, he was fine.
02:41I feel like the head wasn't in it.
02:43Oh, well, it's possible.
02:45I mean, he did leave.
02:45The fact that he wanted to leave and just called up the Rangers
02:48and said, offer me some money, and I'm there.
02:50Something bothered him.
02:51And meanwhile, the Yankees announced a signing of their own.
02:55Here we go.
02:56The Yanks have signed General Manager Brian Cashman
02:59to a four-year deal,
03:01and they are officially trolling us.
03:04Wow.
03:05Screw you, Hal Steinbrenner.
03:07How about that?
03:07You stupid, stupid man.
03:10Wow.
03:10You are nothing like your father
03:12because George Steinbrenner would have never announced
03:18the signing of a general manager
03:20before that mega superstar that George wanted was signed.
03:25How about that?
03:26You can't announce this deal until Aaron Judge is acquired.
03:32And if Aaron Judge escapes,
03:35and you're telling me I have to actually sit here
03:38and look at that little weasel,
03:39Brian Cashman with those little beady eyes of his,
03:42and knowing that not only is he responsible
03:44for the third longest championship drought in Yankee history,
03:48which is the truth,
03:49but now he let the generational talent
03:52and homegrown talent Aaron Judge,
03:53the guy who hit 62 more runs, get away?
03:55This team is nuts.
03:57Hal Steinbrenner is trolling us.
03:59That is crazy, huh?
04:02Wow.
04:02All right.
04:03Sick of it.
04:04There you go, huh?
04:05Yeah, there you go.
04:07Hal Steinbrenner, I got my eyes on you, pal.
04:09I don't know what's wrong with you, bro.
04:11Your dad was nothing like this.
04:13It's almost like they're trolling the fans.
04:15Hey, man, they got to get it done.
04:16They got to get it done with Judge.
04:17Hey, they better get it done now.
04:19They better get it done.
04:20I better get,
04:20we better be getting Judge signed before Christmas.
04:24That better be a Christmas Eve little gift
04:26under everybody's Yankee tree.
