00:00Dave, sports, what do you got?
00:02Well, we're going to start with basketball, where the Knicks got a big win last night.
00:06They beat the Celtics in overtime, 120-117.
00:11Julius Randle had a great game, getting 37 points, 9 rebounds.
00:15Jalen Brunson added 29 points and 7 assists, as the Knicks improved to 27-23.
00:20That's the second big-time win for the Knicks.
00:24They beat the 4th place in the Eastern Conference, the 4th place Cavs, a few days ago.
00:29And now they beat the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference in the Celtics.
00:33This is what you've been talking about, that they've got to take out some high-end teams.
00:37Right, because they've been a good team.
00:39They've been over 500.
00:40I have a lot of optimism with this Knicks team.
00:43But the one thing they need to do to get to the next level is get some good wins.
00:46Well, here you go.
00:47In college sports, you would call them quality wins.
00:50And that just means beating very good opponents.
00:53Knicks have done that now a couple times.
00:55Let's go.
00:56Nice.
00:56All right.
00:57I'm encouraged by the Knicks.
00:5850 games into the season, they're 27-23.
01:02Right now, they would be in the playoffs.
01:03The Nets, meanwhile, lost to the Pistons, 130-122.
01:07And Brooklyn drops to 29-19.
01:10Still 10 games over 500.
01:11But they can't wait for Kevin Durant to come back in two weeks following a knee injury there.
01:1776ers were inactive.
01:19They next play on Saturday when they face the Nuggets.
01:23Hockey, the Devils were defeated by Nashville last night, 6-4.
01:28Flyers fell to the wild, 3-2.
01:31And the Rangers were inactive.
01:32They face the Golden Knights in Madison Square Garden tonight.
01:36Football.
01:36The Jets have hired a new offensive coordinator and former Broncos coach, Nathaniel Hackett.
01:43Yeah.
01:44This caused speculation that this is a move strictly to get Aaron Rodgers because Hackett was the Packers' offensive coordinator from 2019 to 2021 and became close with Rodgers, apparently.
01:56That's very interesting, right?
01:57I mean, the Broncos certainly didn't make any waves with their major quarterback exchange last season.
02:04The Broncos sucked this year.
02:06They were incredibly disappointing.
02:08And this guy got fired, which is alarming.
02:11But, I mean, it's a big gamble.
02:13If they get Rodgers because of this, then I think this move pays off.
02:17But what if Rodgers doesn't go to the Jets?
02:19A lot of times, well, maybe they dump him then.
02:21But a lot of times, your offensive coordinator or your defensive coordinator can't handle being a head coach.
02:26Maybe that's what this is up with this guy.
02:28Oh, yeah.
02:28I mean, we've seen that happen.
02:29But, boy, if they don't get Rodgers, this is a big deal.
02:33They dump him.
02:34Well, then you're paying someone for an offensive coordinator job.
02:37Hey, it ain't my money.
02:39I've never seen a coach fired before he's coached one practice.
02:43That would be historic if they actually did that.
02:473 o'clock, oh, conference championships.
02:51That's what we're talking about.
02:52Let's go.
02:52This Sunday in the NFL, 3 o'clock, 49ers taking on the Eagles in Philadelphia.
02:59Obviously, Eagles No. 1 seed and MVP candidate Jalen Hurts as quarterback looks healthy.
03:05Looks like that shoulder is good to go.
03:07Careful, Gots.
03:08So, Gots, you choosing that?
03:10Careful.
03:10I don't know yet.
03:12I'm going to decide probably until tomorrow.
03:13Dave is trying to set you up.
03:14I know.
03:15I'm trying to know what he's doing is what I'm trying to find out.
03:17We're trying to get inside this head, buddy.
03:19I just want to know what you're happening.
03:21Rats Pro Football Pick'em Challenge.
03:22You're possible to get out.
03:23I want to steal his win.
03:25Get back-to-back championships.
03:27At 6.30, we got the Bengals go against the Chiefs in Kansas City.
03:32How injured is Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes?
03:35Bad ankle injury this past weekend.
03:37And is Joe Burrow ready to go back to the Super Bowl, possibly make the claim as the best quarterback in all of football?
03:44That's going to be a huge game.
03:46I made my picks earlier this week.
03:49We'll see what you guys do.
03:50The Rats Football Pick'em Challenge, WRAT.com.
03:53Gots, you going for Bengals or Chiefs?
03:55I don't know yet, brother.
03:57I'm still deciding.
03:58Yeah, he's putting his card straight to his chest.
04:00You're going with Kansas City, I heard?
04:02No.
04:02With Mahomes?
04:03I don't know.
04:03Maybe.
04:04Going with Mahomes, are you?
04:05Get this kid dry, he'll be here.
04:09And finally, Philadelphia.
04:11This can only happen in Philly, I suppose.
04:14After the Eagles' home playoff win over the Giants last weekend, Eagles defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson
04:21walked out of the stadium, his home stadium, Lincoln Financial Field,
04:26and found his car had been stolen by an Eagles fan.
04:31That is insane.
04:32Somebody stole the player's car.
04:34And his quote was,
04:36I know exactly who stole my bleep, bro.
04:40Don't worry about it.
04:41We got y'all on camera.
04:43How the hell does someone get into the player's parking lot?
04:46Don't they have a protected spot?
04:47I don't know.
04:48I mean, they must have been, like, really rioting.
04:50The security guy was just like, go for it.
04:52I don't care at this point.
04:53What the hell?
04:53I mean, I know.
04:54I can only tell you in the Yankee Stadium, you know where the players park.
04:59They park right across the street.
05:00But there's obviously a fence.
05:01They got a security guard.
05:03And security guards.
05:03Absolutely.
05:04But maybe someone just hopped the fence and grabbed his car.
05:07Hey, we're so excited.
05:08We're going to steal the players' cars.
05:10It is Philly.
05:10It might have been the security guard that actually stole the car.
05:13Yeah.
05:16Or could it be a member of the Eagles organization themselves?
05:19An inside job, you know?
05:21The guy who washes the towels.
05:24Still, I'm going with the Eagles in this game.
05:27Gotts, you going with the Eagles?
05:30You will find out come Sunday morning.
05:32Damn you.
