00:00Dave, quick sports, what do we got?
00:01Okay, we're going to start with basketball,
00:03where the Knicks got their third win in a row
00:05by beating the Spurs last night, 117-114.
00:09Knick point guard Jalen Brunson,
00:11who has been a tremendous addition to the team,
00:13scored a career-high 38 points
00:15while also grabbing seven rebounds and getting six assists.
00:19Julius Randle added 25 points and 13 rebounds
00:22as the Knicks improved to 21-18.
00:25Meanwhile, despite Kevin Durant scoring 44 points,
00:29the Nets' 11-game win streak was snapped
00:32as the Nets lost to the Bulls, 121-112.
00:35They still have the third-best record in the East at 25-13.
00:38The 76ers defeated the Pacers, 129-126.
00:43James Harden had 26 points, six rebounds,
00:46and eight assists in the Philly victory,
00:48and they're now 23-14.
00:50So the local NBA teams all looking good right now,
00:54all in the top six spots in the Eastern Conference.
00:57It's good basketball in our area for a change.
01:01Hockey, the Devils dominated the Red Wings last night.
01:04Final score, 5-1.
01:06Nico Hashir and Dougie Hamilton each had a goal
01:08and an assist in the game,
01:10and Devil goalie Vitek Vanacek had 32 saves
01:13to pick up the win.
01:15Devils looking good again.
01:16The Rangers and Flyers were inactive.
01:18Football, while Buffalo Bills player DeMar Hamlin
01:23does remain hospitalized and in critical condition,
01:27the Bills are saying that Hamlin showed signs of improvement yesterday.
01:31The Bills said Hamlin is, quote,
01:33expected to remain under intensive care
01:35as his health care team continues to monitor and treat him.
01:40Close quote.
01:40How about that?
01:41So he is still under intensive care
01:46and he's still in critical condition,
01:47but they seem to say that he showed some improvement.
01:50Of course...
01:51Even yesterday, you were saying his uncle said that
01:53he was showing signs of improvement.
01:55Still on a ventilator machine.
01:57Yeah.
01:57That's the scary thing.
01:59That ventilator machine is helping him breathe right now.
02:02Scheduling-wise, do we know what's going on this weekend yet?
02:05No, I really think that now this story is, yet again,
02:11going to turn into a Goodell story
02:12because now the people are getting upset
02:15at the lack of leadership at the top.
02:17Somebody get out in front of a microphone.
02:19Yeah, what's happening?
02:20Right.
02:21I think you have to just let the Bills play this Sunday
02:24who they were going to play.
02:26And if Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs win,
02:28I don't know because if they said that...
02:30Right, though, because, like, Goodell's got to...
02:32The NFL needs a spokesperson to be the center point
02:36and lead the goddamn league.
02:37He doesn't have it.
02:39He just doesn't have that bone in his body.
02:41He doesn't have the ability to...
02:43He knows how to listen to owners
02:45and take orders from the owners,
02:47and he knows how to make...
02:48I'll give him this.
02:49He knows how to make television contracts.
02:51Yeah.
02:51So he knows how to make owners really rich.
02:53Yeah, exactly.
02:54And he knows how to make himself rich.
02:55Yeah.
02:55But he doesn't know how to lead a sports league.
02:57Listen, I think the commissioners
02:59across the board in sports are pretty bad.
03:01We haven't had a good commissioner
03:03maybe since Pete Rozelle in the NFL
03:06in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
03:09Like, he was a good...
03:10Well, David Stern was a good commissioner in the NBA.
03:12Yeah, yeah.
03:13But baseball hasn't had a good one in a long time.
03:16Goodell stinks.
03:17Ever since the tie in the baseball.
03:21I mean, yeah.
03:22All-star game.
03:22You've gone from Bud Seelig,
03:24who was the owner of the Brewers,
03:25and I don't know how he got the job,
03:27to this new guy who just stinks, Rob Manafort.
03:30But they've got to know...
03:32The teams have to know something
03:33about whether they're playing this weekend.
03:35Oh, you think so?
03:36So they should be able to tell us,
03:38okay, here's what's happening this weekend.
03:40Maybe they should do, like, a trick.
03:42Like, the Bills have to be on the field,
03:44and then it's like,
03:45okay, now your mystery opponent is...
03:46Right.
03:47The mystery singer.
03:49Pull the mask off.
03:50Yeah, it's like,
03:50some team just, like,
03:52enters onto the field.
03:53That'd be pretty awesome.
03:54That'd be like wrestling.
03:55Like, they just, you know,
03:56you have no idea who you're going to play.
03:57NFL football to be wrestling.
03:59I do.
04:00I love wrestling.
04:01And finally,
04:02Bryan Cranston will return as Walter White
04:05in a Super Bowl commercial.
04:07He has his head shaved.
04:09Hey, a minute.
04:09Haven't we been down this road before?
04:12Well, this is a brand new one
04:13for Frito-Lays.
04:14Okay.
04:15February 12th,
04:17Bryan Cranston will be recreating
04:19Walter White,
04:20the character which won him four Emmys.
04:23And you can watch that on February 12th.
04:25Rihanna is the halftime performer.
04:28That's a quick look at sports.
