00:00What a game it was last night.

00:04Good game on Monday Night Football.

00:05Dallas and Cincinnati living up to the billing.

00:0847 points scored between the two teams

00:10and give credit to the Cincinnati Bengals

00:12playing for probably nothing at this point.

00:14Go on the road to win 27 to 20.

00:17Very big game yesterday for both Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase.

00:22Chase with over 170 receiving yards

00:26and a couple of touchdowns as well.

00:28Burrow has had an MVP type season,

00:30unfortunately playing for a team

00:32that looks like they'll finish under 500

00:34at the end of the year.

00:36But needless to say,

00:37Burrow feels good about the performance.

00:39He told reporters post game,

00:41they're still alive in this thing

00:42until they tell them they're not.

00:44Yeah, yeah.

00:46I mean, it's nice to win.

00:48No, obviously we're still not where we want to be.

00:51It's a nice win, but potentially meaningless.

00:56We're going to talk a little bit about how in prime time

00:59that's where the perception of this team

01:01is built from other teams around the league.

01:03What do you think you showed the rest of the league tonight?

01:10We're going to be explosive on offense.

01:11That's a defense that's been banged up all year,

01:17and they got all their guys back now.

01:19They got Micah. They got Diggs.

01:22They got Bland.

01:24They got all their guys, and you could feel it tonight.

01:27You know, that's a good explosive front

01:29that makes it tough.

01:32I like how we played.

01:34We got to finish a couple of those drives in the end zone

01:37where we kicked a couple field goals.

01:39That was disappointing.

01:42So we left some out there, but nice to get a win.

01:44How good does it feel, Joe, to get a break

01:47and be able to go out on the field and finish?

01:50Yeah. I couldn't believe we got a break.

01:53That was crazy the way that happened.

01:56It's nice to get one.

01:58We haven't gotten any over the last couple of years,

02:00so nice to get one.

02:03And meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys

02:05continue to invent new ways to lose.

02:07Last night, it looked like they had the game in hand early on.

02:10Late in the game, not so much.

02:11A blunt block putt.

02:14Yeah, it was blunt, I guess you could say.

02:15A block putt turned out to be the reason

02:17why they end up losing the game 27-20.

02:19It was addressed by the head coach, Mike McCarthy, afterward.

02:22Yeah, definitely. I mean, we actually had a return called.

02:26You know, the tackle released.

02:27The guard went down. Big gap was exposed.

02:29Nick took it.

02:31And then we were able to get the block.

02:33You know, A.O. was in a vice situation.

02:37And then, you know, he heard the roar of the crowd.

02:39And when he turned, I mean, he understands the role,

02:42you know, of crossing once the ball crosses the line.

02:47His response was when he turned,

02:51you know, when he heard the crowd,

02:53the ball was there, and he reacted to it.

02:54So, obviously, a big play in the game.

02:59Oh. Oh, I'm hurt.

03:07Mm. Mm-mm.

03:09Nah.

03:11Nah, I wouldn't wish this on anybody.

03:15That.

03:18Nah.

03:19You can't even put that into words, bro, to be honest.

03:23I mean, I wasn't even really grasping what was going on.

03:26Nick made a great play, and then, you know,

03:30I asked the ref, you know,

03:31explained what happened, and he told me

03:33that we touched the ball.

03:35It was definitely a huge momentum shift.

03:36I mean, we just caught a huge stop.

03:39We're going to a two-minute drill.

03:41It's just real hard to use.

03:45It's real hard to...

03:47You think to believe you can pull that game out

03:49from that situation.

03:51Um...

03:55That hurts.

03:57Cowboys' season probably ended at home last night.

04:00They have had a really tough time

04:02playing at AT&T Stadium this season.

04:04Meanwhile, South Carolina's Gamecocks get good news.

04:07Outside of the bad news that they got,

04:08they didn't qualify for the college football playoff.

04:10They're getting their edge rusher back, Dylan Stewart.

04:13He is a freshman, folks,

04:14and this is what it sounds like

04:15in the new world of the NIL deals.

04:18He's agreed to stay with the Gamecocks

04:21for the 2025 season.

04:22What that sounds like is maybe he had an offer

04:25to leave and get more money.

04:26I don't know how this works these days.

04:28He's supposed to receive between a million

04:30and a million and a half dollars to stay.

04:32Again, college football contracts.

04:35This is the new world that we are living in.

04:37Also, the Heisman Trophy Award is upon us here.

04:39It looks like Travis Hunter is going to win.

04:41He's the overwhelming favorite.

04:42He's minus 400.

04:43They announced the finalists yesterday.

04:44It's going to be Hunter, Dylan Gabriel,

04:46Ashton Gente running back on Boise State,

04:48and Miami's Cam Ward, those are the finalists.

04:50Meanwhile, Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham

04:53has entered the NFL draft.

04:55He's supposed to be a first round pick,

04:56maybe all the way at the top in the 2025 NFL draft.

05:00Bill Belichick, meanwhile, doing more than flirting

05:02with the University of North Carolina,

05:04was asked on the Pat McAfee show yesterday

05:06if he's going to take the job.

05:07He said he's had some good conversations

05:09and kept saying, we'll see.

05:10So we will all see along with him.

05:12And Tyler Van Dyke is transferring again

05:14from Miami to Wisconsin,

05:16and now somewhere else he's entering the transfer portal.

05:18He has another year of eligibility remaining.

05:21Meanwhile, Duke quarterback Malik Murphy

05:23is entering the transfer portal as well.

05:26He had a school record 26 touchdown passes.

05:28Duke was nine and three.

05:29He's probably going to be one of the most polished players

05:32at quarterback in the portal,

05:33and probably the highest paid player too.

05:35Dylan Rayola has rebuffed rumors

05:37that he's leaving Nebraska.

05:38He says he's all in.

05:39He's going back to the Cornhuskers next year.

05:41And former Auburn head coach, Brian Harsin,

05:43is going to become the new offensive coordinator

05:46at the University of California.

05:48Meanwhile, some sad news for this poor young guy

05:50in the NFL running back, Jonathan Brooks,

05:52on the Carolina Panthers.

05:53He tore his ACL again.

05:55This is the second time in two years.

05:57He was a second round pick out of Texas,

05:58going to miss a year of time,

06:00and hopefully he can get back on the field

06:02at some point for next year,

06:03but that seems to be questionable.

06:04Meanwhile, A.J. Brown has criticized

06:06the Eagles passing game,

06:08and Brandon Graham says his comments

06:10on Jalen Hurts and Brown were a mistake.

06:13What he was alluding to is the fact that he said

06:16that the person that was complaining,

06:18referring to A.J. Brown, needs to be accountable,

06:20and went on to say that they don't have

06:21a good relationship between Brown and Hurts.

06:23Who knew?

06:24Either way, he followed up with apology

06:26and said that he just wants to win

06:29and didn't put things in a good light,

06:31but now we know the relationship is out there

06:32between A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts.

06:34Not a great job there.

06:35The Las Vegas Raiders probably going to have

06:36a new quarterback this week.

06:38Aidan O'Connell has a bone bruise.

06:39His timeline remains unclear to return to action.

06:43Raiders have already gone through Minshew and O'Connell,

06:45and they'll go through some more this week.

06:46Veteran quarterback Steven Nelson has unretired.

06:49He signed with the Kansas City Chiefs.

06:51Good timing.

06:51He's got 13 career interceptions,

06:53and the Chiefs are going to the playoffs.

06:55Tonight in the NBA Cup, are you focused on the NBA Cup?

06:58If so, I have good news for you,

07:00because the Knicks go into Toronto.

07:01They beat the Raptors 113 to 108.

07:03They had a very big fourth quarter.

07:05The quarterfinals of the NBA Cup

07:06are also tonight Giannis and the Bucs,

07:08six and a half point home favorites against the Magic,

07:10and the Mavericks are four and a half road dogs

07:13against Oklahoma City.

07:15These are the quarterfinals of this midseason NBA Cup.

07:19In terms of the Dodgers,

07:20they're still looking at free agency.

07:22They've signed a couple of players.

07:23They're probably going to sign some more.

07:25Shohei Otani will be ready to hit when the season begins.

07:29The announcement comes yesterday from manager Dave Roberts.

07:31Still unclear on the pitching,

07:33but he is expected to pitch next year without a doubt.

07:35Nolan Arenado appears to be on the move.

07:38The multi-gold Glover,

07:39probably best defensive third baseman in the last 20 years.

07:43They're exploring a trade with him right now.

07:46He's 33 years old.

07:47He's owed $27 million in two years from now,

07:5032 million this year, 15 million in 2028.

07:54So they're going to have to find a trade partner

07:56and maybe eat some money as well.

07:58Jordan Romano, closer of the Toronto Blue Jays,

08:00has signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Phillies.

08:03$8.5 million is the contract there.

08:05And Terry Francona says he's ready to go.

08:07He's going to be manager of the Cincinnati Reds,

08:09he told reporters yesterday in Dallas at the winter meetings.

08:12In terms of some sports betting news,

08:14BetMGM has hired away Rocket Mortgage executive,

08:16Casey Herbis, as their new chief marketing officer.

08:21Also, there is a woman involved in a lawsuit.

08:23Get this, she is suing DraftKings

08:26for enabling her husband's gambling problem,

08:30saying they should have stopped him from gambling.

08:32Okay, good luck with that.

08:33Iowa sports betting revenue more than doubles in November,

08:36and Penn Gaming has donated $500,000

08:39to the HBCU for STEM education programming,

08:43kick-starting a brand new campaign.
