00:00Dave, sports, what do we got?
00:02Okay, we are going to start with baseball, where the Yankees got a nice July 4th win yesterday.
00:08The Yankees beat the Orioles 8-4.
00:10They made their return to Independence Day baseball.
00:13They were off last year somehow.
00:15That was weird.
00:15Even though, yeah, I mean, so many famous...
00:17Like this should be a law.
00:18There has to be a law.
00:19Right, there has to be a law that says...
00:20Yankees on July 4th.
00:21Every baseball team has to play on July 4th.
00:24Especially the New York Yankees, though.
00:25Luke Gehrig's famous speech, today I consider myself the luckiest man.
00:30July 4th, Dave Rigetti pitched a no-hitter against the Red Sox on July 4th.
00:34I feel like you did a top five of July 4th moments.
00:37George Steinbrenner was born on July 4th.
00:40See?
00:41The Yankees have a tremendous history of July 4th baseball.
00:45Let's go.
00:45So, I think it was great.
00:47And Gleyber Torres, he's been hitting.
00:50He slugged his 13th home run of the season.
00:52Jose Trevino added his fourth.
00:54The Yankees moved to 10 games over .500, 48-38.
00:58This series against the Orioles is pretty big.
01:00Right now, the Baltimore Orioles are in second place in the AL East by just a couple games
01:05in front of the Yanks.
01:06So, if they can get these next two games here, then all of a sudden, the Yankees have a chance
01:11to overtake Baltimore in the standings and be directly behind Tampa.
01:14We like when that happens.
01:15So, yeah.
01:16Let's go.
01:16Let's go.
01:17The Yankees keep the positive momentum going right now.
01:19Mets had a nice win as well yesterday on July 4th.
01:22As the Mets defeated the Diamondbacks 8-5.
01:25They were hitting the heck out of the ball.
01:27Starling Marte, Brandon Nimmo, and Francisco Alvarez all hit home runs for the Mets in their
01:33win.
01:33They could use a little beef up, too.
01:36Now that's three in a row for them.
01:37Yep.
01:37And the Mets improved to 39-46.
01:41Now, the Phillies took down the Rays 3-1.
01:44That's good news for the Yankees.
01:46Excellent starting pitching from Phillies starter Aaron Noah.
01:48He picked up the win.
01:50And the Phillies now 45-39 for the season.
01:54In basketball, the Knicks made a couple of deals over the weekend.
02:00Number one, they agreed to a four-year, $50 million contract with free agent guard Dante
02:06DiVincenzo.
02:08What's interesting about this is DiVincenzo actually played on the Villanova National
02:15Championship winning team with Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson and Knicks shooting guard
02:21Josh Hart.
02:22Sounds like a college reunion.
02:24It's a Villanova reunion.
02:26And I think if Tom Thibodeau gets off to a sluggish start as the head coach of the Knicks,
02:30they should actually consider Jay Wright.
02:34He's the Villanova coach who won two national championships.
02:37Oh, there you go.
02:37One of the best coaches in all of college basketball.
02:40He recently retired.
02:42Oh.
02:43He's in the media now.
02:44All right.
02:44How about that?
02:45Maybe Jay Wright is the coach of the Knicks.
02:47Not a bad idea.
02:48Football, Isaiah Rogers and Rashad Berry of the Indianapolis Colts and free agent Demetrius
02:55Taylor suspended indefinitely through this entire upcoming season.
03:02And perhaps even more for betting on NFL games last season.
03:07You can't be doing that, man.
03:08And this scandal is only going to get bigger as the NFL is saying that they're still investigating
03:15a lot more players.
03:17Players who went against the gambling policy.
03:20If you're in the league and you're playing, you cannot bet on these games.
03:25Period.
03:26If there are any Jets players on that list, I'm going to be highly disappointed, but I'm
03:31also not going to be very surprised.
03:33Oh, man.
03:34Can you imagine?
03:34Farron Rogers was, you know, all over the gambling sites, the sports betting sites.
03:41That would be such a Jets thing to have happen.
03:45Unbelievable.
03:45Finally, America's greatest athlete of all time, Joey Chestnut, continued his championship
03:53ways yesterday.
03:54Yes, sir.
03:55By winning the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest for the 16th time.
04:00Wow, that's crazy.
04:02Ate 62 hot dogs in 10 minutes while his record is 76.
04:07There was a two-hour weather delay because of the rain and thunder and lightning.
04:12Now, did he put ketchup or mustard on it?
04:15He did not put any condiments on it.
04:18That's a waste.
04:18He takes two.
04:20He shoves them in the mouth.
04:21He puts the buns in the water so that it's not as dry.
04:24Shoves those in the mouth.
04:25That's his technique.
04:26That's his technique right there.
04:27But 16 championships, according to my calculations, ties him with Ric Flair and John Cena, who have
04:3516 world championships as well.
04:37So, if Joey Chestnut wins next year, 17, he's in a class of his own.
04:42That's right.
04:43Look out, Tom Brady.
04:44Okay.
04:44All right?
04:45You got nothing against this guy.
04:47Brady's got seven Super Bowls.
04:48Chestnut's got him beaten by nine right now.
04:51He's got 16.
04:52That's right.
04:53So, congratulations, Joey Chestnut, on winning another mustard belt.
04:57That is...
