00:00And ends for 22-23.
00:03All right, quick sports, Dave.
00:04What do we got?
00:05Okay, let's start with basketball, where the Knicks lost to the Wizards last night, 116-105.
00:11Despite 32 points from Jalen Brunson, the Knicks dropped to 25-21 and are now 7th in the Eastern Conference.
00:20The Nets and 76ers were inactive this evening.
00:23The Nets at 27-16 take on the Suns in Phoenix.
00:28And the Sixers, 28-16, go against the Trailblazers in Portland.
00:33Hockey, the Devils, Rangers, and Flyers were all off yesterday.
00:36Tonight, the Devils face the Kraken in Seattle.
00:40The Rangers go against the Bruins in Madison Square Garden.
00:43And the Flyers play the Blackhawks in Philly.
00:46Baseball, the Mets set a luxury tax payroll record of $299 million spent on this year's payroll for their team.
00:56That's nice, man.
00:57$300 million just for the season.
01:00Wow.
01:01The Yankees are at...
01:02About $230, they said.
01:03Yeah.
01:04All right.
01:05I remember when Mets fans complained about spending, the Yankees spending in the 90s and the 2000s.
01:10Not anymore, baby.
01:11They don't.
01:12Uh-uh.
01:13I am listening, Mets fans, and I'm hearing crickets and tumbleweeds.
01:17As well it should be.
01:18I agree.
01:18I agree with you, but I always said back in the 90s and 2000s, you're blaming us for having an owner who wants to win.
01:24I don't blame Mets fans for having an owner who wants to win.
01:27It's great that Steve Cohen wants to win.
01:29I'm just saying.
01:30I am listening.
01:31I'm hearing crickets.
01:32Football.
01:32Well, Cowboys, they said yesterday they were sticking with kicker Brett Maher who missed four extra points.
01:41What now?
01:42Well, he's still going to be on the team, but the Cowboys have signed kicker Tristan Viscayano to the practice squad this week as insurance.
01:50And if Maher should struggle to kick in, and you don't bring two kickers to a game.
01:55So if Maher struggles to kick in practice this week, Viscayano will get the job for the Cowboys against the Niners.
02:04And that's a big deal because, you know what?
02:07I think if I'm the Cowboys and I even brought this guy, Viscayano, in, I might have just given them the job.
02:14Just reset.
02:15Because now this guy's going to be looking over his shoulder.
02:17You know, it was the wind.
02:18That was the problem.
02:18It was too windy in the dome.
02:22Oh, yeah.
02:23Yeah, yeah.
02:24Against Tampa Bay.
02:25No, the nice Florida.
02:28So I don't know.
02:30I think the Cowboys might be making a mistake, but we'll see if it comes back to haunt them.
02:34Of course, the Cowboys take on San Francisco 49ers, who have the number one defense in all of the NFL.
02:41So field goals, I think, will matter.
02:43That is your quick look at sports.
02:45This is the rat news of the day in a little bit.
