00:09start with basketball the 76ers beat the Nets last night in a good one final score Sixers 137
00:15Nets 133 Joel Embiid had 26 points 10 rebounds for Philly James Harden added 23 and 7 rebounds
00:24as the 76ers improved to 31 and 16 good for second place now in the Eastern Conference the
00:32Nets fall to 29 and 18 still good for fourth in the East staying with the Nets for a second
00:38the team said yesterday that Kevin Durant's rehabilitation is on schedule after his knee
00:43injury Brooklyn feels that KD should be ready to return in two weeks they've been dropping a bunch
00:49of games without him yeah they've been dropping some um they're they're treading water they got
00:53a few games back after they lost initially a few games they started to play well but uh couldn't
01:00beat the Celtics last night as the Celtics have been the best team in the East they can't wait for Durant
01:04to come back he has averaged 29.7 points per game this season so Kevin Durant doing Kevin Durant things
01:13this year the Knicks were inactive tonight they have a huge game as they take on the first place
01:20Celtics in Boston and the Celtics at 35 and 14 sit atop the Eastern Conference as we just said
01:27uh the Knicks are 26 and 23 they're in seventh place in the East that would make them a playoff team
01:33but uh they have to get these big wins over the best competition they did just get a win over the
01:41Cleveland Cavaliers and Cavs are fourth in the East so that's one of those wins that we're talking
01:47a win against the Celtics would be gigantic let's be honest yeah that's that's the big one that we
01:52really want is uh the Knicks need to show some wins over the best teams and Celtics are number one in
01:58the East tip-off time is 7 30 hockey the Rangers lost to the Maple Leafs 3 to 2 Rangers fall to 26 14
02:058 the Devils and Flyers were off this evening the Devils face the Predators in Nashville Devils are hot
02:12lately Flyers go against the Wild in Minnesota football Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback
02:19Patrick Mahomes says quote he'll be good good to go close quote for the AFC championship this Sunday
02:27against the Bengals he's dealing with a very serious ankle injury he was playing basically one
02:33footed uh this past weekend yeah against the Chargers I mean he literally threw a chance uh threw a
02:41touchdown off of one foot that was amazing and anyone who knows those ankle injuries knows that
02:47they only stiffen up and get even more painful and and even limit your mobility less after a week
02:54even if he does play I'm still going with the Bengals you got me convinced on Joe Burrow yeah Joe Burrow
03:00is unbelievable need gots to choose the Chiefs we'll ask him uh tomorrow we'll see if we can sway him on
03:07any uh on any uh any picks for him again see the here's the problem I don't want to convince him
03:12to go with Patrick Mahomes because and then Patrick Mahomes pulls a Michael Jordan flu game and goes
03:19out there and you know throws five touchdowns because you know I believe he is the number one
03:23player in the NFL and it's not even close he's been MVP he's been Super Bowl champ he's set so many
03:29records he's an amazing football he's one of the best football players ever I mean you need to beat
03:34gots in order to really make a a super come from behind win and the rats football pick them challenge
03:40amongst us VIPs I have my strategies I figured out uh mathematically I might uh play conservative
03:46try to match gots his picks and then steal the super bowl you're gonna Nancy Kerrigan his knee
03:51well no I could I could Super Bowl gives you 16 points as long as I'm in within that 15 point or
03:57less uh total point total range I see where you're going I could just go opposite whatever he goes on
04:01the Super Bowl that could be Davey Mack's move quite frankly uh the Super Bowl could be a 50-50
04:06deal exactly and finally baseball former Phillies and Cardinals third baseman Scott Rowland was uh
04:11voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame the only uh person voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this
04:17year got a little bit of an issue I'm not I liked Scott Rowland eight gold gloves seven all-star teams
04:24in 17 seasons a very good player but if he's in guys like Don Mattingly and Paul O'Neill should be in
04:30for starters Mattingly hit 27 points higher than Rowland I don't think you're wrong about that
04:36Rowland hit 281 for his career Mattingly hit 307 Mattingly also won another gold glove and appeared
04:43in more all-star teams and played in four less seasons than Rowland I don't think you're wrong
04:48about that I think Mattingly could be expected and how about O'Neill who hit 288 in his career never a
04:54whisper of steroids I believe that Rowland got in because there was never a whisper of him doing
05:00steroids during this he played during the steroid era good numbers he had great numbers so that's
05:04cool but if that's the case O'Neill's numbers are absolutely comparable another guy who made
05:10more all-star teams than Scott Rowland and uh has uh has uh just you know he's won batting titles
05:16Paul O'Neill has I don't know I'm just saying those writers man who knows what the hell they do
05:21I just wonder sometimes exactly what goes on in those writing rooms that's a quick look at sports
05:26it's the morning rat race from 95.9 the rag home would shine down
