00:00All right, Dave, sports, what do we got?
00:02Well, we're going to start with basketball because the NBA is back.
00:06Regular season has begun.
00:07Knicks made their season opener last night against the very talented,
00:12one of the favorites to win it all, actually, Boston Celtics.
00:16Good game.
00:16Knicks came from behind in the second half.
00:18They were trailing by 10.
00:19They made it a game, but they fell a little bit short.
00:22108 to 104 as Boston picks up the win.
00:25It is a marathon, not a sprint.
00:27Absolutely.
00:28And, yeah, there's still plenty of energy, though, in that building with the Knicks.
00:32This does feel like a new Knick era.
00:34And so, despite the loss, still have lots of optimism.
00:37I have to.
00:38The Yankees and Giants suck.
00:40The Knicks' R.J. Barrett had 24 points in the loss as they will look to rebound for game two.
00:46Meanwhile, the Nets lost a tough one to the Cavaliers, 114 to 113.
00:52Brooklyn's Cam Thomas played very well, 36 points in the game.
00:55But Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell, 27 points, six assists, led the Cavaliers to the victory.
01:0176ers make their debut tonight when they take on the Milwaukee Bucks in Milwaukee.
01:06Lots of drama surrounds the Sixers with regards to James Harden fighting with Sixers general manager Darryl Morey.
01:15Harden says he doesn't want to ever play for Morey and calls him a liar.
01:20Meanwhile, Joel Embiid, seeing all this drama, there's rumors that he wants to be traded.
01:26But we'll see.
01:26They have a game tonight against Giannis and the newly acquired Damian Lillard in Milwaukee.
01:31So, they've got to get their heads straight tonight.
01:32See what happens.
01:34Hockey doubles lost to the Capitals last night.
01:37Six to four.
01:38They dropped to 3-2-1.
01:39Rangers and Flyers were inactive.
01:41Tonight, the Rangers face the Oilers in Edmonton.
01:45Flyers play the Kraken at home in Philly.
01:48Baseball, the World Series, is tomorrow when the Arizona Diamondbacks go against the Texas Rangers in Texas for Game 1.
01:57Zach Gallin is expected to take the mound for the D-backs.
02:00Nathan Evaldi gets the start for Texas.
02:04Not really super excited for, this is like the Southwest American World Series.
02:10It shouldn't be the World Series.
02:12It should be Southwest American Series.
02:14I mean, you're talking about like two states that are like next to each other.
02:18I'll try to keep it on in the background.
02:20Right.
02:21Certainly, we'll read about it the next day.
02:24I mean, oh man.
02:25That's why we needed the Phillies in there, actually.
02:28We needed like a big market team.
02:30Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks.
02:33Good luck with that, MLB ratings.
02:34Um, finally, football tonight kicks off week eight of the NFL season.
02:42Hope your picks are in at WRAT.com.
02:46I know mine are.
02:47Yeah, mine are in thanks to Ross Brewing, the big sponsor of the football challenge.
02:51Win yourself a restaurant gift card, an extra large rat t-shirt every week.
02:56It's big fun.
02:57You got the four and three Bills taking on the three and three Bucs in Buffalo.
03:02The Bills are a weird team.
03:05Yeah, that was a tough call.
03:06When they play well, they look like the best team in the AFC.
03:11They squash people.
03:12But then every other game, it's like their head's not into it.
03:15And they look like they, uh, all of a sudden they don't look like the same team.
03:19I mean, listen, I'm rooting for the Bucs because the Bills are in the Jets division.
03:23I'm a Jets fan.
03:24Are you going up, Set City?
03:25Uh, but I do believe the Bills are going to win.
03:28Bucs are three and three.
03:29They played better than people's expectations.
03:31They have, yep.
03:32Decent defense.
03:33Maybe, uh, the Bucs can, uh, pull off a, uh, upset here.
03:37Now, what about the big Jets Giants on Sunday?
03:40You just said, out of your mouth, then I quote, the Giants suck.
03:44Giants suck.
03:45Are you going to go Jets?
03:46No.
03:47I have made my picks at WRT.com.
03:49I went with the Giants.
03:51I can't turn my back on big blue.
03:53You know, you're wearing a green shirt right now.
03:56This is from Ireland.
03:57Oh, I, I'm just saying.
03:59Okay.
04:00This is for, uh, County Kerry football squad.
04:04I'm just saying.
04:04But, I do, I do stand by my statement that the Giants suck.
04:09Okay.
04:09It's just that you can't pick the Jets.
04:12Yeah.
04:12All right.
04:13All right.
04:13I can't go Giants against the Jets.
04:15But, uh, do I expect the G men to win?
04:18Hmm.
04:19You know, Daniel Jones, they're saying is coming back.
04:22He's missed the last two weeks with a neck injury.
04:24Is he playing this week?
04:25They, they, they suspect or they believe he's back.
04:28I think that's a little bit of a mistake.
04:30So.
04:31This fill-in boy, uh, Tyrod or whatever his name is.
04:34He's done okay.
04:34He's done all right.
04:35He's done all right.
04:36He can throw the deep ball, can Tyrod Taylor, but, uh, we'll see what happens.
04:41I'm not, I'm, I'm just Giants don't look good.
04:43I'm definitely going Jets.
04:44I'm definitely going on.
04:45I would, I would hope so.
04:47With that defense.
04:48Yeah.
04:48I mean, there's a chance they let the Giants only have six points.
04:51There's a chance.
04:52And there's a chance we only get nine.
04:54But that's how you win games, you know?
04:56Well, make sure you check out, uh, Dave, uh, Davey Mac's sports report over on Facebook,
05:01uh, at about nine 30 today.
05:03It's arrows.
05:04It's a quick sports right here on the rat.
